Coolant is good for five years but many just leave it in there. I find its easy to change however by just draining it with the radiator drain. It all comes out in my experience.
Front brake pads should be checked too at this time. If theyre half worn out you can guess they'll need to be done around 80k. Have the recalls been done? Especially the front suspension bolts which can rust the heads off. Doubt that's an issue in TX. Probably a good idea to get the car up on ramps first the front then the rear for an inspection for damage. I find fault with using techron. Unnecessary in my experience and just might cause a problem.

So I will get it up on ramps and check everything out and give the car a good overall inspection. I'll get the coolant done soon. Thanks for your reply.

[QUOTE=Ranger SVO;766298]I will definitely look at that, is Zerex Asian OK for the Yaris?
QUOTE] I would bite the bullet and go for genuine Toyota coolant. You could really leave it in there forever (well, a LONG time). Probably its alright to use what you suggest.. I think the Toyota brake pads, air filters, and belts are the best and that what I get. Unless they want ridiculous money. Oil filter...no...the cheapest will do if changed per the OM.
