The Yaris has shim under bucket valve adjusters same as on many high performance motorcycle engines. The ones on my ST1100 were still good at 109k miles when I sold it and every other owner I conversed with on the internet reports similiar experience. Thats for a 1.1 liter 90 hp engine.

I'd recommend changing the plugs, just get any plug that is spec'd for the Yaris, no need to go expensive with them. I'd recommend changing the MTF to GL-4, apparently it shifts smoother than the GL-5 and both are fine for the Yaris as long as it is 75w-90* (someone correct me if I'm wrong here as I'm going off the top of my head). I couldn't find GL-4 in any sotre so next time I change my MTF I'll just pick it up online. I am currently running syn GL-5 MTF which is definitely better on really cold morning shifts than the OEM MTF but I wouldn't say it is substantially smoother. Coolant flush/change is a good idea. Follow CT's procedurehttp://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52876 and you'll be good to go. I opted for the concentrated red long life coolant instead of the pre mixed pricier pink "super" long life. I don't need 50,000km change intervals as I'll likely change coolant out earlier for piece of mind due to the crazy temp changes where I live. The red is spec'd to be changes roughly every 30,000km but that varies according to online sources. |

Google "Toyota Canada Maintenance Menu" and fill in the info they ask for. This is a good maintenance menu for DIY. It is the one that I use on my 2007 sedan.
