Keep driving and eventually it will go back to when before it was made.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious shit.

It increases the trade-in value. Does the oil change light go off by itself?

I think the oil change light is only in US.

No. The owner's manual explains how to reset the light (using the ignition and trip odometer) while sitting in the car. There are also a few posts that include the explanation here on Yarisworld.

I think he meant, since the odometer is going in reverse, does the oil light turn off?... You know, if it's going backwards, the oil must be getting fresher!

Still later, the mother-in-law came over to live with them (NO prior agreement). After that, the mother-in-law's EX-husband (his wife's EX-stepfather) came over for a planned visit (and it ended as such). While the EX was visiting, he said to my friend "If you can live with these 3 women, you are a better man than I am" . My friend and his wife split up before their 5th anniversary. They waited a bit to divorce (he didn't want any of them to not be able to stay in the U.S.).

I've heard that very same story so many times and witnessed it playing out first hand.

He's a real glass half full kind of person, so he didn't let it get him down long term. He hasn't married again, but he did have a subsequent 5 year relationship with a wonderful woman (who didn't need anything from him other than being a loving, normal person in a relationship). His nephew is my godson, and my godson and his siblings and parents left California, and now live about 90 miles away from the town where yougojay lives.
