But as car technology grows, autonomous driving, safety features, and more will advance do much. That seeing a car as an autonomous vehicle to b vehicle that you don’t replace for years will no longer be viable.
Toyota drive so boring I will never buy them. But that’s my need and my criteria, to each their own.
Yes reliability should be standard across all brands. But tech advancements won’t make a 5 to 10 yr old car will just be too behind
I'll be buying a 2017-2019 Lexus RX 450h or 350 soon. I'd love your insight on that choice and anything I should keep an eye out for, etc. Love the channel, thank you!
Impressive!
I'm thinking about purchasing the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max. It seems to have mostly very good reviews. Will you please give me your input on Grand Highlander Hybrid Max?
ok, i hope do, and just go away, such a tardy co.
Scotty,letting you know that Mike, the Toyota Tacoma owner who delivered cancer meds passed away. His Tacoma is displayed at the Toyota dealer it was purchased from in North Carolina. Toyota Jeff has videos on the subject.
I wouldn't get too close to it
Damn.
@@ShardsOfNarsilwhy wouldn’t you get close to it?
Why did they buy it to put it on show for? Does it have some crazy miles on it or something?
@@jessewynne8193 joke about being radioactive
I just got my first brand new car, a 2024 Toyota Corolla base model (LE). Ice cap white. I’ve never had anything this nice in my life, and I’m proud of it. It had 4 miles on the odometer when I left the lot. I came from a 2003 car to this, and I’m blown away so far. This car just sips on gas, and the amount of features on the base model was a welcome surprise.
I’ve watched Scotty for years now, and I pretty much owe it to him for picking a Toyota… and of course, 5K mile oil changes will be at the top of my priority list. I want this car to last 10+ years.
ancestral protection
I went from a Kia Rio 2012 (yeah I know bad decision) to a 2022 Corolla like you said it ships on regular gas like fine whine even at higher speeds I'm not really noticing much loss in gas mileage I think I'll get a hybrid Camry next after my Corolla my first ever vehicle I drove was a 1999 Camry which rip the engine died from oil starvation as it leaked we couldn't ever find where it was coming from
And im assuming you just didnt check when getting gas? No way a not noticeable leak went through all of the oil on 1 tank of gas.
Jusr remember this time every fill up!@Lonewander
It should last 15 + years if you take care of it.
I bought my 2005 Honda CRV in Oct 2004. It now has 291,000 miles on it. Best car I ever owned.
1996 Toyota 4Runner, with the 3RZ-FE engine. 322K miles, and going strong.
I have a 2001 Toyota Avalon with 394,000 miles. Original motor and transmission. And my sister has a 2002 Toyota 4-Runner with around 455,000 miles and still going.
Scotty should do commercials for Toyota.
I agree.
He just did lol
Scotty's videos are the only commercial Toyota needs.
He doesn’t?
Word of mouth is the reason Toyota is number one.
My 5-vehicle Toyota fleet includes a '10 Camry, a '10 FJ Cruiser, a 06' Tacoma, a 11' Lexus GX460, and a 03 Lexus ES 300... my wallet has never been fatter...reliable and long-lasting...I love the 4.6L v8 in my GX!!!!🥰🥰😇😇😇😇
Bought 2007 Corolla because of Scotty. Everything works, ice cold a/c. Currently 167k miles 🚙
i got 2008 Corolla and i still love it.............192,000 miles
Our 2012 Prius's original traction battery was still in good condition when we sold it at 210,000 miles!
That's unusual. The mechanic that did my last inspection's Prius battery needs to be replaced at 60k.
60k? u must be joking right?@@nucleargrizzly1776
@@nucleargrizzly1776 i would have a different mechanic look at it.
@@rdj232 He is a mechanic
@@nucleargrizzly1776 which is why i said "get a different mechanic".
So what you're saying is, we ahould try to get our Toyotas to 1 million miles to get a free Toyota.
L😂L
I need to drive more often 🤔
I have a friend who has a few 2012 Prius V's with Li ion batteries in his fleet. Over 500,000 km and still going strong.
I have a Ford Focus with 288k miles, original engine and a 5 speed manual transmission that was replaced at 241k miles from my favorite shop 😀
From my experience Ford Focus are either really bullet proof or junk. Luck of the draw I guess. 😂
Good thing you have the 5 speed and not that dct...xd
I had a beautiful 2015 Focus Sedan 5-speed manual. Some senior woman decided to cross right-of-way traffic (me) in a blind intersection and make sure my beautiful car nose got crumpled backward. That and 9 months of constant chiropractor visits. The car would have easily lasted a very long time. Got 38 mpg against a 35 mph headwind (with gusts) doing 75 mph on the interstate. Same conditions in the calm, easily over 43 mpg.
Had a 10' Ford Focus w/5 speed manual transmission. Put 445,910 miles on it . I'd still be driving it but the body was going to hell with rust. Put a water pump, a half shaft and front pads on it . That's it!
@mikeg9450 sorry that your car got rust cancer
My FJ is rock solid but the Toyota dealer here is a nightmare! They messed up my car so bad. Had the air conditioner fixed and they didn’t reconnect my gas line and I got stuck on the way home, then the top side pieces of the body flew off and were lost because they didn’t clip them on. Had the transmission fluid changed and they shorted it by 2 quarts. Awful service! They couldn’t even put my wipers back on right. Never again.
My 2004 Corolla Le is 20 years old and almost 200,000 kilometres and still drives like it’s new and in very good shape and no rust at all because I do every year the rust proofing Corrosion Free, that’s why my car has no rust at all after 20 years, and I leave in Montreal where they put a lot of salt on the streets ,and for me it’s the best car I ever had so tank you Toyota for the reliability car you make and tank you Scotty for your TH-cam channel 😊.
Maintenance is key.
Change the oil at 1,000 miles, if the car is new; then every 5,000 miles or six-months, whichever occurs first. Why? Well, oil & filters are cheap, engines are expensive. (like Scotty always says) And use the recommended viscosity "Full" synthetic oil like Liqui Moly, Motul, or Amsoil along with a Toyota OEM oil filter and you will not regret it.
These are old old naturally aspired Toyotas that were reliable. The new Toyotas with turbocharged engines won’t last that long. I’d be surprised it these turbocharged engines lasts 200k miles.
Agree. Hate the new 3.4v6tt . They make good power but sound horrible when revved and have some vibrations/buzziness.
400 bucks a year in Maintenance makes me feel like I am not maintaining my Toyota... cause I spend like 150 MAX... not including the dumb inspection/emission stickers.... I do my oil & filter change every 7-10K miles with full synthetic oil. I do transmission fluid changes every 60-70K and Coolant every 100-120K.
12,000 miles for me.
I am poor 😢
Change oil every 5000 or sooner
Scotty is looking forward to see the first CVT that did a million miles.
I'm also a Toyota fan, once you actually get into the motors from all the different manufacturers Toyota generally makes the best.
Granted they have had a couple lemons. I wouldn't give the early 1ZZ motor very high marks because they failed early from a lack of zinc.
Toyota/Lexus builds direct injection engines that use both Direct-injection as well as Port-injection to avoid carbon buildup on the intake valves. The one exception to this is the Lexus IS-250 (and GS-300) that have only Direct-injection in their engines and owners of those vehicles are totally happy with their cars for the first few years, until they turn to nightmares when the carbon builds up on the engines and they need an engine overhaul costing $6,000. Since then Toyota only builds engines that have both the direct-injection combined with the port-injection to avoid this costy carbon buildup problem in their engines.
Whew! This is easily the most comprehensive automotive performance
analysis/history of a major brand that I have ever seen! Just when some of us are convinced that Scotty could not get any better on automotive information delivery, then BOOM (!!!), we get SMOKED!!!!!
I got a Honda! I’m not too far off!
😂
WOW thank you for the good news as we just bought a 2012 Tundra with just 200k. It has been taken care of and is like new! It is the max cab with tow haul etc. it was a trade from our 1994 Land Cruiser 😢. But the 94 is going to get a total restoration 😊. Talk about holding its value!
2013 Camry Hybrid - 245,000 miles with no major repairs and the original battery pack. 2013 Prius V with 148,000 miles - a few repairs - original battery pack. 2004 Land Cruiser with 270,000 miles, and a few repairs. I love my Toyotas! Thanks, Scotty. Great video.
I own a Toyota 2007 Camry Hybrid with 210,000 miles on it and it looks and drives like new, awesome car!
I am guessing you haven't replaced the hybrid battery which is awesome. I am hoping my wife's 2020 Honda Accord hybrid lasts that long, especially the battery.
@@ivannadler1789 yes battery was replaced at about 180,000 miles before I bought car, hope it lasts another!
@@dmc19730 That's good to know, and hopefully the new batteries will last longer. Good luck.
I had a 1999 Corolla straight out of high school at the age of 18 in 2010. Probably put 50,000+ miles on it before I was told, and understood how often you should change your oil.
Drove it more than 100,000+ miles in 5 years till I rear ended a person who randomly stopped in the middle of a street trying to turn over a median.
Used to clean it and maintain it every Sunday like a Religion after abusing; it made me truly appreciate vehicles, none the less Toyota.
The wife and I recently bought a 44,000 mile 2016 Toyota 4Runner in August last year. Just barely passed over 8,000 miles we’ve put on it. I’m damned determined to have it it till it falls apart, I’ll replace the engine in it no problem, I’m taking about the frame falls apart and can’t support the beast any longer.
The most reliable Toyota engine was the 1NZ-FE 1500cc engine used in the Echo and Yaris
As long as you don't put it up against an early 22r.. Or any of their earlier engines.
1GR-FE enters the chat 😂
Bad Move on Toyota getting rid of The V8.
Asheboro North Carolina, but I don't drive anymore. My Brother n Law has a V8 Tundra. I told Him to take care of it because they don't make no more.
Toyota should have left it with a choice. The current system with the twin tubro charge 6.
And the very reliable V8.
@@icosthop9998 That's the Key word, CHOICE! Not only one or the other.
Knowing Scotty without watching, it’s Toyota…
Yep
My husband's 2006 GMC Sierra is his work truck and has 385,000+ miles. Fuel pump, oil pump, A/C and trans BUT what a truck! Still a beauty and fun to drive!
Great review of the Toyota engines. I think you should have gave a mention of the 4.0L 32v V8 in the early LS400. I have a 1996 with under 100k miles that still runs at 155 mph as easy as 80 mph and smooth as glass. An amazing break-through car.
Scotty, You missed one of Toyotas amazing engines. I have a Lexus GS-F with the 5.0 L (2UR-GSE) V8 engine with an output of 473 HP and 389 lb⋅ft of torque. I plan to keep it forever. It's an amazing car, drives like a dream and is a blast to drive. Zero to 60 in 4.2 seconds with no turbos or superchargers.
I drive an 05 Avalon that’s equipped with the 2grfe engine, it runs like a top. Lot of power and runs quietly. It’s started right up last month when it was 20 degrees below 0, and it was outside during start up.
That's funny, I used to work with a Mark Miller who had a late nineties corolla with over 300,000 miles on it. It was black and the paint was faded really bad as it had never been garaged since he bought it new. It burned a quart of oil between oil changes and he changed it every 3,000 miles (not synthetic). I know that's not a HUGE amount of miles compared to the cars in this video, but if you could hear that corolla run, it was amazing. So smooth. He said he easily got 34 mpg on the highway. When he retired I made him promise to give me first dibs when he wanted to get rid of it. I saw the car about a year later at a gas station and a young high school kid got in it. I asked him where the owner was and he said that my friend gave him the car for helping roof his house and garage. The kid said he loved the car even though it was an old beater.
Had 3 Toyota's, and had plenty of issues. Had a 2008 Corrola, and the Transmission went out at 100,000 miles, had a 2003 Toyota Tundra pick up, rear end went out at 60,000, and had a 2013 Camery, kept pumping oil into the air cleaner box, and kept over heating. Yes, I took care of all three, and followed the maintenance schedule. Not again.
sounds like really bad luck
@@Michael-jp3tl Mine yes. Not speaking for everyone. Not saying all Toyota's are crap. Their good, just not to me. Now I got a 14' Charger R/T owned 5 years, no issues at all. (Chrysler Group LLC under the hood, not FCA)
Amazing video. The amount of info is staggering . Makes me want to go out and buy a Toyota.
Great video thanks Scott.
Toyota Needs to give a Few of their cars to Scotty
The 4A-GE paired with the handling and giant seat side bolsters in the 1986 Corolla GT-S was heaven sent. Accelerating after downshifts from 3rd to 2nd around a curve with that high reving engine was God like. I should never have sold it.
Scotty, this is how Toyota WAS, with them going to all these turbo engines, is this how Toyota will still be? I'm worried the turbo engines won't last and I hesitae to buy one.
Good Question
You have a great point for ALL brands. The cars of 10-20 years ago have little in common with the new engines/transmissions And electronics! We will about reliability over the next 10 years.
I'll stick with my 2015 5.7 Tundra and my RX 350. I learned my lesson from turning wrenches at a Toyota local dealership. Believe me, after getting wise, I have never looked back. Thank you, Scotty, for telling it like it is. 👍
This video reminds me of an episode of Big Bang where Sheldon was on a train with another train affectionado and they were discussing details about different trains. Good job Scotty. Subtitle should be "Everything you ever wanted to know about Toyota engines".
Scotty, I worked at Toyota. When lube techs did “Toyota care” services, they weren’t checking anything. They don’t check fluids or filters or belts or anything at all. Because the pay for Toyota care is extremely low. It’s basically the warranty pay version of an oil change/tire rotation. They just got it in there and got it out as fast as they could, and no one wanted to do them.
We have recently bought a 2011 Toyota Vellfire 3.5 V6 with very low miles, superb motor.
Last summer I bought a 2002 Land Cruiser 90 3.0 td common rail for the equivalent of 5000 USD. Has 290.000kms on it and runs like a dream. Everything works.
I’ll stick with my 2015 hemi ram. 150K miles no issues but I do all my repairs and maintenance myself.
My wife bought a 2007 Acura and it's still running at 206k miles. Regular oil changes using Mobile 1 synthetic oil for the most part. Needed A/C clutch replacement at 60k under recall, a power steering cable leak replacement and around 190k a small radiator hose leak fixed. Needs struts now but still running strong.
We bought a 2024 Corolla LE with a JT vin. Every other new Corolla we looked at were all 5Y vins.
I drove an '05 Prius as a taxi in Los Angeles for several months back in 2018....it got to 500k miles and the owner pulled it off the raod and sold it for $3,000. All original. Ran like a top....it sounded like a sewing machine but it was bulletproof.
Toyotas are great vehicles, but you can get a bad vehicle even from them. My wife's RAV 4 broke down and the local Toyota dealer couldn't fix it. They couldn't even figure out what was wrong with it even with help from a top tier mechanic employed by the manufacturer. After 3 months in the shop, the dealer gave us a great deal on a new one which we took.
I have a Lexus LS 460 with 186,000 miles and absolutely nothing wrong with it still looks almost new… change the oil every 2500 miles or every six months whatever first don’t drive it very much anymore. I have a forerunner and a motorcycle so it’s just shopping and small trips…
i been a chevy guy my whole life and ive had 4 Camaros so far, Now im in my 30s and have decided im toyota here on out since about a year ago. Good video Scotty.
Scotty, I’m looking to buy a pick up truck and I’m not sure between Toyota Hilux and Ford Raptor. Currently driving Mercedes C250 amg coupe. The truck is gonna be used for lot of traveling and hunting, what do you think?
Thanks, greetings from Ireland
Got 247,00 on a 2004 Sequoia that pulled a 21’ bassboat to and from Florida to Ontario, Canada many times.
But, over time, the Sequoia did “wear out”:
Rust in the door edging and trunk
Replacing Catalytic Converter
Instrumentation lights
4-Wheel drive system
So, I traded it in and bought a used 2021 Sequoia and continued to be quite pleased.
Be well.
You should do a show on the JEEP 392 I really want it! But I don’t. Need it. Which makes me want it more
Scotty I just want to let you know I work for a Toyota dealer we see a lot of cars coming in with well over 100,000 mi in a fairly good shape and they are still running very well I myself have a 2010 Matrix with a little over 100,000 Mi on it and I reside in the Buffalo New York area.
I have a 2013 Toyota Highlander and I’ve been very happy with the car but I’ve reached a point where the spark plugs should be changed. Because of the way Toyota has situated the engine side to side instead of front to back for a V6 the estimates that I have gotten for spark plug replacement aren’t $150-$400 but more like 650+ dollars now I am still a Toyota fan but I have to wonder why that is so outrageous and why the designers decided that they couldn’t put it front to back so the plugs could be changed a little easier. That’s my main complaint at this point.
All the pluses have been way up there in terms of the way it rides, and I do the schedule oil maintenance on a regular basis as I do food delivery and had the transmission changed at its last interval, and trying to keep up on all the little things that should be taken care of.
Have an 07 Chevy trailblazer with a little over 450,000 miles on it original motor and tranny. Although it is showing its age, main major repairs being, fan clutch and water pump orher than that just the usual maintenance, oil breaks, tires, ball joints, toe rods. Most vehicles if well taken care of can last a long time
"Well taken care of" is the key phrase.
Ive had Subaru and Volkswagon fans tell me "they're good cars if you take care of them". And what they mean is spending thousands of dollars in repairs every single year.
Toyotas are the best because they DONT require that type of maintenance. They can go 300k with minimal maintenance. Which is quite rare among vehicle brands, even if you got lucky with your Blazer.
I have a '06 Audi A4 with over 300k miles. It's not very common for the 2.0T to last so long on original engine/headgasket. Especially when driven as hard as it is, and through all Canadian seasons, in rock salt, for the past 18 years. Yeah it's rusting in a few spots, but I have barely done anything to it for the past 3 years other than brakes, oil and replaced the old worn out coolant line or hose here or there. Maintenance is key. Early oil changes pay off huge in the long run
Scotty is a Toyota guru! Hey Scotty is the Toyota Camry 4 or 6 cylinder better?
My 02 tundra still runs like a clock, I have no need to spend money on car or truck.
I think he already does promotional commercials for them!🤣.
Scotty Kilmer does promote Toyota products. 😢
He is always talking about his old Celica, and he is very happy when he has to work on a Toyota, which is very rare.
And now we got this video pushing out the truth, which is nice for *"Toyota"*
At 6.08M subscribers, he puts *WORD* out there.
I drive a Toyota Venza 2013.
I bought it used and have put 100 thousand km with no problems even though I've only done 2 oil changes. I'm
74 years old and driven a lot of cars and this, and F150's are bullet proof.
I’d say your engine won’t last with 50k oil changes lol
My experience. Buy a "seriously heavy duty" car, preferably with 6 cy engine. Drive it gently and maintain it. Warm engine if more than 3 hours non-driving. Accelerate slowly when engine not warm enough. Keep plenty of distance when driving. My Acura MDX's tires and brake pads are less than half worn when at 80K miles. Zero problem.
Thinking about buying a Toyota Camry and was wondering if the four cylinder or 6 cylinder is a better choice?
My parents have a 98’ Camry they bought new. Oil changes every 3000 miles, transmission fluid every 50k, original engine, transmission, starter, alternator, you get the picture. He just texted me a picture a couple days ago that shows his odometer at 333, 333 miles. Amazing! Just goes to show the quality of Toyota vehicles and importance of routine maintenance.
I had a 1983 toyota Carolla with 180,000. The body rusted out but ran very well. I went through 3 clutches teaching 3 teenagers to drive a 5 speed. My wife called it a spiffy little car.
Can you do a video on the new grand highlander?
I've had Dodges and Chevrolets go way past 200k miles 230+ on Dodges and 290+ on Chevys. I had a Chevy 2500 6.0 to finally retire at 545k+ miles.
I had a 2009 Dodge pickup. Ran like a champ, but the body was all rotted out. Exhaust manifold bolts kept braking. Traded it in at 87,000 miles for a 2018 Toyota Tundra.
So many of the dodge pickup trucks rust the way terribly . 😒
@@icosthop9998 Unfortunately yes.
Just bought my 2023 Rav 4! Best thing ever !!!
I've got a 2014 IS350 with 79,000 miles on it and i drive it in sport mode or manual mode every day, my only concern is the 8 speed transmission. You don't really hear about the praises of Toyota's transmissions since the engines get all the glory. I know driving it in manual mode can lead to faster wear and tear but it's a lot more fun to drive, although for the most part sport mode is good enough since it tries to keep u in the lowest gear possible even when cruising.
'07 4runner just did 365000 mile oil change. uses no oil between changes with rotella and wix filter.
Scotty you didn’t mention the 22-RE I had in my 88 Toyota pickup, the truck rotted out long before the engine would die.
I've always driven Hondas and loved them, but due to all the problems they've been having lately, i've been considering picking up a 2020 Corolla. I did some digging around and found a bunch of people with premature CVT failures in their 2020 Toyota Corollas. One person said that their CVT failed twice. I remember when you couldn't kill a Honda or a Toyota, but now we're all walking on eggshells, hoping to see 60k. Pretty bummed about it.
u r correct but that's for the cars made on before 2010 after that they are just average cars and they do give u problems on the newer models but still they are good,
Scott I'm looking at a 2016 Mazda cx9 w 84000 miles. Can you tell me your opinion of that year of Mazda in the way of longevity? Do you think the drive train will last 200000 miles if maintained well?
I bought a used 2007 Toyota Avalon XLE in 2008 with 44,000 miles on it. It had 431,998 miles on it when it was rear ended and totaled in October 2022. Original motor and transmission. The factory starter lasted 348,000 miles before replacing it. I replaced the car with a used 2018 Toyota Avalon XLE Premium. Toyota for life!
Scotty I have a 2004 GX470 I bought used with 190,000 miles complete withe all dealer service records, the vehicle has always been well cared for and maintenance done with Toyota/Lexus parts EXCEPT the transmission is a sealed one has never been serviced. I now have 272,000 miles and the engine does not burn any oil, car runs great no problems at all. Do you have a guess as to what kind of life I can expect out of the transmission?
@Scotty_kilmer0 I would appreciate that.
My last avalon had 375k on it when I retired it because the mn salt rusted the gas line through, original timing belt and it ran like new.
Scotty, you didn't mention the 2.4 2AZFE I guess my motor is terrible.
I drive a Hyundai i30 built in Korea in 2010. In that time it’s had two recalls, four driver’s window regulators replaced, two door locks, one rear window which leaked so much the spare wheel well was flooded full, an ongoing transmission issue and various bits and pieces in the saloon fall apart.
A few days ago I’d just parked at my local shopping mall and a guy parked next to me in a 2010 Toyota Corolla. The Corolla had covered similar distances to my i30 but in that time not one thing broke or gave any problems to the owner. My next car will be a Toyota. I won’t go near Korean again. A work friend had a 96 Corolla that he put over 450,000 miles on without any problems. It still had the original clutch when he traded it for a new car!
Very good
Should I lease a KIA Niro hybrid?
I have a 2015 BMW M3 and I’m one of the crazy people that dailies it and have 152,000+ miles and sadly have to replace my tires every year 😭 but running great. Scotty I am looking at the new GX550, should I wait for the hybrid or get the V6?!
Hybrid would be more reliable than the twin turbo V6 long term (10+ years) the GX 550 is amazing engineering nonetheless, the TTV6 will easily outlast the competitors
What about the CVT transmission
It really has to do with the integrity and the culture of the Japanese people that makes them create good automobiles, something missing in our American culture.
Absolutely agree!!
Yes, it's amazing what can be accomplished when someone gives a 💩
True
They're not all built in Japan. When I bought my 2022 Subaru Forester I checked to make sure it was made in Japan and it was. Most of the Outbacks and Crosstreks are made in the U.S. It's the same with Toyota. I think most of their trucks are manufactured here.
I'm thinking about buying a Rav4, the one with the 2.5 dual exhaust,what are your thoughts?
My wife had an accident with our 2010 Camry that damaged the transmission... I replaced the tranny, and it's back on the road...🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Is the Toyota chr hybrid a good car?
My 2007 Tacoma is at 392k miles and still going. Regularly changing the oil and now transmission fluid. Barely done any work on it. Paints peeling though 😢
Real good information Thank you !
Scotty, hate to burst your bubble on the 2001 Avalon I owned. Bought used with 161K. Carfax was clean. Body and interior of car were near immaculate for being in Iowa all it's life. Changed oil 3 times in 9 months owned. On my way to Arizona from Iowa, motor seized in Albuquerque. No oil warning light. Oil light came on, check engine light immediately, then BOOM. 3.0 V6 Engine. Guess it had sludge problem. 173K miles at time of death.
Perhaps a pre-purchase inspection by a good technician could have detected that obvious lack of maintenance. 😮It’s a testament to Toyota that the engine lasted that long.
Sounds like user error...I mean how can a engine die of sludge when you changed oil 3 times in 9 months....with what???? cooking oil????? Sounds stupid.
Previous owner probably never changed the oil or filter and just occasionally topped it off.
You have me sold.
Dear scottie is the highlander hybrid worth it over none hybrid and the best engine
I got the gas V6. Great vehicle
My Honda accord got 288k and I have not seen the engine light ..
My '98 Accord was at 297k when the rear main seal finally failed, causing a catastrophic oil leak. I miss that car so much. Best car I've ever owned.

Is Mazda and Subaru as good as Toyota ?
My dad's old devile had batters behind back seat
I have seen several 4.7 V8's that outlasted the bodies and running gear on hard used mountain work trucks.
I thought LFA single clutch was for driving experience, not speed, so that you could feel the shifts more
