I really admire you making your Yaris last for 300,000 miles.
There's two kinds of people:

1. Those who use things.

2. Those who use things up.

You're obviously #1.

Thanks. I guess I deserve credit for (generally) being easy on my Yaris (not driving it hard). Most of the rest of the credit should go to Toyota . I'm sure 'my Yaris would have liked it ()' had I changed the oil and filter 58 times (every 5k miles) rather than the actual 20 times. The oil would probably stay closer (for longer) to the color it is when poured into the engine. My friend with the PT Cruiser says it now needs a new rear axle (at 156k). She drives that car so hard, I wonder how much that contributed to her new issue.
