Trail rated 2008 Yaris hit 300,000 miles today - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have done all my own maintenance on the car. It has only been to the dealership for the water pump. I have used Castrol GTX and since I commute 180 miles a day I do oil changes monthly or more. The great thing about the Yaris oil change is you can reach everything underneath without jacking it up or putting it on ramps. Now replacing head lights is a real pain! My biggest regret was I did not change the trans fluid early enough. I did a pan change about a hundred thousand miles ago but I am afraid to drain it entirely now. The junk in the fluid maybe the only thing making it work but it still shifts very well with only a little hard shift every now and then. Thinking about doing another pan change soon to put some more good stuff in.
