im amazed you have never changed your tranny fluid. 400k the oil probaly broken down and is almost as usefull as water by now. i mean if shes still ticking more power to you. keeper her rolling.

I'm with Mad Dog, even if your pads are still good, 3 year old brake fluid isn't.

I think every other fluid in the car other than the engine oil should be good for at least 5 years regardless of mileage. At that point, I'd at least change the coolant.

That's amazing! Congratulations trini_per4mance.

yaris-me · 02-17-2010, 03:52 AM

WOW!

dorman68 · 02-17-2010, 10:05 AM

Good to hear you are still running strong! Let us know when you hit 500k.

But he wants to go to a million miles. For that reason he should change all the fluids. Even with 400K, it's not at all a "beater".

wow....Congrats...go on and achieve the one million miles...I believe you should receive a significant tangible gift from Toyota corporation for your achievement.

Did you notice any difference after the fuel injector cleaner?

Thanks for the update!

R2

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!

p.s. wtf is MTF? I typed it in www.urbandictionary.com and all I got was http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=MTF

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.

You're right DerFlosser!!! If it hasn't broken as yet, why try and fix it!
