First Oil Change? - Toyota Yaris Forums

KM is an abbrevation for Kitten Mitten. You know like, Three Little Kittens Lost Their Mittens....etc etc etc.

It's Kilometers, Metric, European, Canadian...that stuff. Equal to .6 miles (or so) . If your honking down the highway at 100kms, you are only doing 60-63 miles an hour. I use .6 for easy math. I know someone is going to chime in with a number that has 50 numbers to the right of the decimal right into infinity.

8000kms are approx. 4800 miles. (my math)

In french, we use it the other way around, there are 1.609 kilometers in a mile, and 1-6-0-9, which is pronounced the same as "un ciseaux neuf" (a new scissors). Easy!
