30,000 mile service, this should get you going - Toyota Yaris Forums

H3LlIoN, I don't know if it's called plan "D" or what, they have a sheet of paper with four service schedules on it. It's the one with the tranny flush @ 30K if you have a auto which I don't. I think I'm going to do this one myself with some Redline or Amsoil in the manual and crankcase. I contacted Toyota . com they received the emal but no response yet. Does this help you out?

Oh damn. Yeah, that's the one with like tranny flush, coolant flush, power steering flush, and something else I can't remember. The first time I ever saw this, I was visiting my roomate at his shop, and he was working on a black two door yaris. At the time, I didn't even know what a yaris was, let alone know that I would end up with one, and I asked him what the hell he was doing, as he had a pump stuck down in the power steering reservoir. I was curious, as I have a great deal of wrench time in over the years, and was clueless. He explained the service and such, then went on to say...

"I have no idea how these service managers talk these suckers in to this dumb shit."

Pretty easy: most people don't know any better, aren't curious about cars or don't have the time or the inclination to learn. They see "Toyota" on the sign, and they figure "hey, this guy works here, he probably knows what he's doing"

We also live in an area with a bloated average income, so they don't even care.
