How many miles before you had to replace brakes, tires, battery, etc ...

[SpaceShot]

original tires: 50K
head lamp bulbs: 100K
front brake pads: 116K

and that's it. The rest is filters and oil.

Yeah, a lot of folks don't realize how stringent it can be in Maine. I guess that it really depends on the shop that you go to, but of course there isn't supposed to be any deviation from the guidelines. As a point of reference below unless mistaken once you get the wear bars I believe that you would fail inspection if you had to go and get a sticker.

Here are pics of my 912s for future reference with 12k miles on them. Not sure that the pics really do them justice on how bald they really are?

Tires at 55k. Water pump at 85k. At 89k now, everything else has been oil and filters. Battery will get replaced in next few months.

They look almost as bald as can be and still have visible tread on them.

^ grooved slicks is more like it LOL

[comk4ver]

replaced the tires around 30k?
water pump before 40k
and it looks like I'm going to have to replace the battery tomorrow.

[yariseggvvti]

tire 35k
battery 45k
serpentine belt 55k
alternator 71k

Updated 3/8/13
2010 Yaris Sedan manual
242,000 miles

Tires: Factory tires- 70k. Cooper tires - 130k
Battery: 180k
Alternator: 241k
Clutch: still fine
Brakes: still fine
Belt: 200k
Spark Plugs: 100k

I do about 10K miles a month, about 90% hwy
Use full synthetic oil, change every 7K miles
Use a K&N air filter I clean every 40K

I'm curious as to who uses hyper-miler techniques (DFC or coast to stop) when it comes to brakes and tires.

Each set has exceeded the mileage rating (I think each set was rated at 60k, but one might have been 65k).

I forgot to include in the above 10-22-12 post that I replaced my battery on 9-9-12 (exactly the 3-year mark of 'life' for the battery) at 224,946 miles as a preventative measure. This second battery replaced the OEM battery at 138,055 miles, so 86,891 miles in 3 years.

Wow. If you keep up that mileage rate (and your engine holds up --- which it very likely will) for another 3 years (or less) you will probably pass (at that point) trini_per4mance as the Yarisworld member who is the original owner with the most stated miles on the original engine (472,000 as of about 4 months ago). He has a different job now, so his mileage accumulation slowed way, way down. These cars are so reliable! One member, Mazilla, bought a courier company with a 20 Yaris fleet. All of the cars had between 350,000 - 500,000 miles on them! He kept one of them (that had had the engine replaced) and now is nearing or has reached 500,000 miles on that car. You'll be passing me in just a few months .

I want to join the hypermiler club! I have a Yaris 2010 w/ 60k at the moment. How often are you hypermilers changing your automatic transmission fluids? Also are you doing flushes or just filter and changes? Thank you in advance!

[lilyaris'10]

Though I do like to be extremely gas efficient, I actually did not mean to use the word hypermiler in my last post. I actually meant that I want to maintain my car in such a way that it lasts as long as possible! My car hit 60k over the weekend and I took it in for a major checkup expecting an ATF fluid change. However, the mechanic didn't recommend one. My car hasn't had one yet. He told me that the fluid is good for up to 100k. I'd love to hear what the experience has been from other people and specifically from trini_per4mance, nookandcrannycar and The Sin since they've been able to maintain their yaris so well!

Mine will hit 90 k. I haven't replaced anything in the engine bay or brake system.

I have only replaced tires, windshield, did regular oil change, filter, and spark plugs and cleaned the TB and MAF.

HELP.

I go above the PSI recommendation from Toyota, but below the maximum as stated on the tire (44 PSI). I keep it at 38-40 PSI. That's about it, up to this point.

I don't know re ATF. Trini, The Sin, and I all have manual transmissions. I have yet to change my transmission fluid, and Trini didn't change his for the first time until he replaced his clutch for the first time at 448,000 miles.

[Kal-El]

131,000+ miles

Everything is still original with the exception of the belt, battery, & tires.

Even has the original spark plugs which I keep telling myself to replace at some point. Car runs perfect so it gets put off.

I believe the Yaris to be immortal.

I have some info for you re ATF fluid change intervals. UberSilver replied to me on an oil change thread and added that he drives his car fairly hard, so he will be changing his ATF fluid once a year (time period rather than miles). UberSilver doesn't have high mileage on his Yaris yet, but he previously drove another Toyota 500,000 miles with about 20,000 mile oil change intervals, so I'd say his judgement is pretty darn good re getting longevity at the lowest cost. This may not apply to you, as you may have a different driving style, but more information can't hurt.
