My Yaris just turned 400,000 miles in 3yrs 6mths. - Toyota Yaris Forums

400,000 miles and I'm still running on the original brakes, clutch & fluids, except oil. My Yaris still runs as good as the first day I got it. I love her so much that I divorced my wife and married my Yaris.....lol.....j/k!

That is amazing!!!!
What do you do that you drive so much?

As a new owner that is great to hear. yaris prime, what exactly is going on in your signature pic? It's too small for my bad eyes, but looks interesting with that "pull start" comment.

I haven't checked in a while.

Kaotic Lazagna · 02-16-2010, 11:08 PM

Damn! That's cool.

Have you flushed your coolant and/or MTF?

Nope, the only fluid I have flushed or changed, is the engine oil. I top up the coolant every couple months. Still running on the original MTF too.

trini_per4mance,

I was just inquiring about you here the other day-I figured you had to be getting close to 400k. That's awesome.

Did you notice any difference after the fuel injector cleaner?

Thanks for the update!

After the fuel injector cleaner, I've been using strictly Chevron with Techron 87 octane in my car and never had any problems since. Thanx!

Why should I get my brakes checked asap? I intend on changing pads and shoes this weekend. I may also flush out the brake fluid and coolant one time. We'll see.

Why should you get your brakes checked? Are you kidding? You've done over 400,000mi and said that you have no idea what % pad you have left, for all you know you could be running piston onto rotor.

Also brake fluid, like most automotive fluids dont last forever http://www.aa1car.com/library/bfluid.htm.

Rather than you be invovled in a crash because you could not stop your vehicle due to brake failure i'd rather you have your brakes looked at. It would be a heavy burden to wear if you killed or injured someone and also your insurance policy probably states in it somewhere (assuming you have insurance, no offense intended) that you must keep your car roadworthy to be covered by the policy.
