When the tranny began to make a load grinding sound I drove it to a junk yard and left it there with the title on the passenger seat.

He would say "So what theres sludge in my engine? Its got 88,000 miles on it doesnt it? In a few years I will buy a new car and I havnt given the oil companies a dime by changing the oil like they want me to!"
"Say...why you so INTERESTED in what I do anyway? You wouldnt happen to be changing YOUR oil, would you?"

In tody's jargon, it's called risk management. Sure it runs. But for how long? When will it quit? At a "good" time, like when trying to start it for your Monday morning commute? Or at a bad time, like when trying to merge on an interstate?

" Is there a longer version of the 103 filter for the Yaris? " .
Yes there is . TOYOTA ( Denso ) . I think it's the 90915-YZZF1 ( correct me if wrong ) . There's a more expensive TRD oil filter as well . Last edited by Hershey; 01-08-2013 at 04:15 PM. |

Yeah, TRD filters are basically K&N filters... I really love the quality, I just don't like spending $11 on a filter.

10,000 miles.
I use both Mobil 0w20 and Pennzoil 0w20. I use a K&N Oil filter with the nut on top! I have 87k miles on it. Never had a break down or in the shop.

I also have a magnetic drain plug, no metal flakes on it when I change my oil.

That makes me laugh. My father didnt change the oil on his cars either...not to stick it "to the man" but in his mind if the engine light wasn't coming on, there is nothing to worry about or to do. His cars typically got an oil change at the dealership he traded them in to for his next car. Typically every 5 to 6 years, and 50-60,000 miles. Dont know where I got my OCD-about-maintenance gene from, but Im a stick to the book kind of guy when it comes to vehicle maintenance. My old man NEVER had an engine failure. Neither have I.

for me, local mechanics are charging dirt cheap for oil changes. $16 for everything for a synthetic oil change.
