90% on short trip. What to do to protect engine? - Toyota Yaris Forums

lh59 · 12-11-2008, 07:14 PM

Hi guys, need some help on how to prolong the engine lifespan of my 1.3 auto Yaris. My trip is 90% made up of short trip (less than 7km) and I know that this is quite detrimental to the engine. What can I do to minimise the engine damage beside regular oil change? If I make a long trip every week (purpose being to vaporise the fuel and moisture that acculmulate in the engine during short trip), would this help in protecting the engine? Thanks in advance for the expert advices!
