Love my '05 MDX. Just passed 200K!
Just a heads up, the transmissions in the Honda Pilot and Acura MDX are pretty bad. Pretty sure they hired Chrysler engineers for that.
I need help!!
I have a 2002 BMW 330i; I'm currently having engine problems. The #2,3,4 cylinders are lacking psi.
I was told I need another engine; is that the case? And if so what engines are compatible with a 2002 BMW 330i?
@@bdp-racing apparently Pilot has low friction piston ring carbon problems too. Not sure what's a good car any more.

Salute you 💯
What makes Scotty so good is his delivery , his cadence when he speaks, he's like the crazy mad scientist of cars, and he waves his arms like an Italian when he talks.
1.21 Gigawatts?!!!
Definitely gives "Doc" vibes from Back to The Future haha
Drives me nuts actually. I turn the volume down. He’s great. Subscribed!!
said he was pt italian, why you profiling people
@@daninusa5297 I’m Italian so I can say whatever I want about Italians. I love the Italian culture.
I have a 1995 Toyota 4 Runner Grey with Sunroof, and I love it! Runs like a kitten with over 230,000 miles. People always leave me notes with offers and their phone numbers. I inherited it from my father, who passed away. It's a keeper!
OMG! We have similar stories.
@@Chi_Chi34 get the yayo
1998 Toyota 4Runner. 500,000 miles here. Battle-tank. The greatest truck ever made. 🇯🇵
You are blessed! I have a 1999 4RUNNER and I have completely rebuilt it! It’s priceless too me!

Mazda?
Don't forget Subaru
And Chrysler 300?
@@derlissamaniego1914 You'd be happy to get 120k out of a Chrysler 300.
I can attest to the Acura MDX! My business partner bought one new. Put 495,000 miles in it. The only problem it ever had was around 400,000 a CD got stuck in the CD player and could be removed.
That’s it!
Damn, what generation was it?
You mean to tell me, no radiator hose ever broke? The water pump and thermostat didnt cause problems, he never had kind of fluid leaks? Those things are magical
I bet the tires were bald
@@kevinhaley6776 Bologna skins
What's the CD?
Just picked up our 2023 4runner. 4wd. Is it outdated?, nope not at all. Love it. Hydraulic power steering, frame, not unibody, and a proven 5 speed automatic, no cvt, no frills. Just a proven beast, and from Japan. Picked it up with 3 miles on it. Couldn't find a used one with low mileage any cheaper
Wow! I currently have a 19 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I’m doing everything in my power to trade it in to get a 4Runner. Love how beasty they look and super reliable.
Great video, Scotty. Have owned a 2003 Honda Pilot that we bought new in late 2002. Only has 110k miles, so low mileage. Is now on it's 3rd teenage boy driving it so it has not been babied. Only thing now is after 20 years, needing to replace a number of rubber parts...not really due to mileage, more due to time. Gives my boys and I something to do on the occasional weekend. Has been an extremely reliable vehicle for 20 years now.
Makes me glad I purchased my 01 4runnner this August. 294k miles and running great
Yep, can't go wrong with those. My last one went 360 thousand then I totalled it in a wreck. I've got a Lexus GX470 with 150 thousand and runs and looks new. My wife's Land Cruiser could realistically go 500 thousand no problem. In my opinion Toyota and Honda are the only way to go.
01 4Runner with 200,000. In love with my truck
Sorry but purchasing a 294k mile vehicle is crazy. No engineering can defeat basic wear, time, or environmental factors.
At 294k it’s not even just about the engine and transmission anymore, everything from the drive shaft to the frame will likely have significant wear.
We have a 2004 Sequoia that's got 250k+. We've been having it since new. Haven't had to replace nothing but batteries and tires. It's our daily driver. We absolutely love "Our Betsy".
Excellent advice on the timing belit and interference engines. I had two Subarus (80's 90's) and since I was young and poor both broke down while driving when the belt broke. Simple tow and fixed. No damage.
Scotty - love your philosophy on cars. You remind me of my Dad (that is a compliment). So - we owned a 2003 4Runner and drove it until 2018. The only reason we sold it was because it didn't have the safety equipment we wanted with driving our young kids around. Now we bought a used 2021 Honda Pilot Touring and couldn't be happier.
Honda Pilot saved my daughter’s life. Horrible accident but she came out of it without a scratch. Praise God + Toyota.✝
@@davisholman8149 I’m very glad to hear that everyone came out okay from such a terrible experience. Our Honda Pilot is our family workhorse for carting kids to school and soccer practice. Safety is the top priority for us. So did you get another Pilot?
Bought an MDX in 2014 and its still running strong with 130K miles. Never a major issue. Just regular maintenance.
The Honda Pilot is insanely reliable and can go a 500K miles plus, if you keep up with the maintenance. We have a 2011 Honda Pilot with 280k miles on the OD. It has the original transmission in it with no issues at all. The key to trans longevity is changing the transmission fluid every 50K… and the engine burns no oil between intervals.
Petrol or diesel?
@@Truba194 petrol (gas)
You’re correct, maintenance is the key. My 07 pilot runs smooth with no major repairs done. I’m very strict with all fluid changes and only use 100% synthetic fluids.
I love the 4Runners, with a big vehicle like that and gets 20 mpg highway, you can't beat it, I also like the way they look
This has: 2 hi, awd mode, 4hi, and 4 lo. The button you see puts it into “awd” mode. There is a button on dash left of steering wheel that locks it up like a traditional 4x4 if you want.
The “j shifter” version is the rarest. It has all I listed above plus locking rear diff on some models. 2000 is the holy grail for 4x4 configuration on 3rd generations.
Here in Colorado these are still EVERYWHERE.
Great video, Scotty. As usual, you always deliver quality content.
Got a 2004 pilot. It's been the most reliable car I've ever owned.
What fun! Scotty, you're a riot! Love to see you in a good mood.
We have a 08 Honda Pilot with 124,000 bought it with 117,000 original miles. Great vehicle, had timing belt replaced, tensioners, water pump, thermostat and coolant. My wife hated that I got it and now she won’t get off it. I suspect it will go another 117,000 no problem. Great car for traveling. Hands down Toyota and Honda make the best vehicles out there. Thanks for you videos Scotty, love your content 👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah. I've always owned 4WD pickups, but I was tempted by the Pilot and Sienna. Very practical vehicles.
Agreed! The only reason I don't have one is because it was totaled in an accident that wasn't my fault. I loved that car and wish i still had it.
We have an 08 with 205,000 miles on it and it runs smooth as silk!! The 1 generation pilots were built very well.
Hubby has a 2011 at just shy of 200K miles. No signs of stopping, standard maintenance.
I own 2014 MDX and my wife and I love it. We only have one issue with wheel bearing last year since we bought it brand new. that was it. No regrets at all.
I got one too. Save up for the front struts. $1600 at 120k miles for me @ local Acura dealership
My 1993 Landcruiser has 340,000 miles on it and still running strong. Mileage sucks but it works as a part time truck for the beach and mountains.
Great videos
Can you make a video on the basics of how to test drive a used vehicle and some normal main things to listen/ feel and watch out for ?
Thank you.
Scotty’s always a wealth of great information. I used to hang really close to the service department when I sold Japanese luxury cars. Learned a lot by using my ears more than my mouth! 😉
Toyota Highlander might not make it 500,000 but 2 to 300,000 plus , with pretty good Gas Mileage , is good enough . My 2022 limited ( with third row seats ) is averaging over 21 to 22 so far , ( only 4,000 miles / Not Broke in yet ) My buddie has a 2018 same model averaging around 24 mpg plus. For a large SUV / Crossover , one of the best buys out there . JMO
@time traveler agreed! It’s a great family vehicle.
Yup. We had to replace our transmission on our 2009 Honda Pilot a few years ago. It was $5000. We change the oil frequently at the dealership because we get nice printouts every time we get serviced. The car runs great other than that one huge purchase. We bought it used in 2015 from the dealership and it has 156,000 miles now. We plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 🌹
A good follow up video would me titled "3 SUVs That Won't Last 50,000 Miles or Less." I nominate the Jeep Compass. I rented one of those for a day trip a few years ago and even with only 21,000 miles it was having random misfires and the transmission was shifting really rough.
after watching scotty, I know there are essentially two good cars - honda/acura and toyota nexus. nothing else comes close.
Rental miles are worth more.
All Jeeps that are not wranglers tend to suck imo. The Cherokees used to be very good but they have gone downhill.
I nominate all 2007 and newer GM suv's. That's when they went to active fuel management and started having engine misfires and electrical gremlins of no start issues.
Anything Chrysler is straight-up garbage. Honda/Toyota are the best vehicles by far.
Scotty is the funniest, most dependable, lonest lasting, accurate, informative and entertaining car guy on TH-cam.
If you're not watching his channel, then you're missing out.
Another informative video Scotty👍🏻👍🏻. Thank you for your videos.
I save money watching scotty's videos! Learning something new all the time.
howdy Scotty, I have a 2004 Honda PIlot and this baby had 265,000 miles on it. Run like horse and never fail to start, original engine/transmission. Sold it last month due to high fuel this year! I believe this baby will run for another 200K+ miles~~
I have a 2006 Sequoia SR5 8 cylinder, 4 wheel drive, 3 row seats...
Real nice vehicle...
It has 20035 miles on it... Still going 👍 good
I just received my 2005 4-Runner v6 4x4 limited
delivered from CT.
135k miles. $10,500
The thing rides like a Cadillac, I didn’t expect that!
It’s my forever car, it’s in great shape and I’m going to take care of it.
Rust proof the frame and have fun with it!
We just bought a used a 2019 MDX and we love it.
I've got a brother that is on his 3rd Pilot, he gave his last one to his son and he said that they are great 👍
I have a 2004 Tacoma with 203,000 miles on it and it runs beautifully. The frame was rusting away in it a few years ago but Toyota replaced it free of charge because it was a recall item. I love Toyota!
Bought a 2004 MDX with 90,000KM in 2010. Now has 230,000 KM and going strong. Love it
Love my MDX! Alot of vehicle for the money. You are spot on with MPG's 16-20 mpg in comfort mode. The body line's are nicer than the pilot. . So far so good.
I love my 4runner! I could care less about gas mileage. Bought mine used besides basic Maintenace the only thing I had to replace was when the rear window/hatch lock replaced that is it.
You could care less? Well i couldn’t care less. Meaning I care less than you!
Nice! My '97 Nissan Pathfinder lasted 25 years. I sold it last year in anticipation of issues due to age but it was running fine on the last day I had it. Loved the trunk space.
Amazing SUV Im looking for one 4x4 2doors.
Sounds like what u tell the buyer when it breaks down 😂 jkn. I smoke a J and I’m acting stupid lol. Blessings
I have a 97 4Runner, love it! 270k miles.
Great review as always
I've been wanting a 4runner for a while now. This just makes me want one so much more!
I drive a 1998 Toyota 4Runner limited 4x4. Runs great, no smoke. Drive it and you would be shocked at the 324k miles. And I'll put another 300k on her.
@@adamwest8151 well I have a 2006 Toyota Solara right now, with only 162k miles on it, and I love it, but its definitely past time for an upgrade, especially since I have a doodle who thinks he us to go EVERYWHERE with us, which leaves hardly any room for the kiddos. And I've been wanting a 4runner 4eva!! Lol Can't wait to find mine! 🙂
I still have my 99 and I bought my 2021 4runner. Amazing car.
I love mine.
I currently own an 09 4runner V6 4x4, but have owned several over the years that were both newer or older. It drives tight and is rattle free even after 110k miles. I see them for sale with 300k+ all the time. If you maintain them they will last you forever.
Scotty how can you rip the odyssey and praise the mdx when they both use the same drivetrain components? I got rid of my mdx mainly because it has that stupid timing belt and got a 4runner. Even with 285's my '18 4runner gets better gas mileage than my '06 mdx did
I have a 05 Tundra 4.7 v8. Daily driven for 15 yrs now. I bought it with 46k miles. My best friend bought a 01 Tundra brand new in 01. He drives it Daily and now has 433k miles. He didn't change his timing belt until almost 400k miles. His original never broke, he's lucky. He just recently had to change some of the seals. His 01 has 4.7 v8 also and still runs very smooth and shifts very smooth. Other than the timing belt he has been very adamant about changing all floods at the factory intervals. He's done all maintenance himself.
Have a 2007 4Runner SR5 V6 I bought in 2019 that had 220k miles on it. Have 256k miles on it now and still going pretty solid. It did need some things in the first year or so of ownership, new power steering rack, radiator and brakes, but most of that's expected. Feel like it has less interior rattles than a lot of newer cars which is sad. Honestly I don't think it rides that badly either. I decided on a V6 rather than V8 since the V6 has a timing chain, but maybe a V8 wouldn't been a tad better if I wanted to tow more.
I undercoated the frame and subframe areas with POR15 to help it last longer/keep surface rust off. Planning to keep it until either the engine or transmission goes.
How much did you buy it?
How much undercoating cost and how often should be done?
I love my recently purchased 1st Gen MDX. If you get an MDX, get the 04 & up. 02 & 03 had transmission issues but they corrected the issues starting on the 04 models. Just wish honda made an V8 model.
My 06 MDX has a hard shifting transmission at only 150k miles
@@elliottperkins4358 Change the fluid 3 times, with short intervals between each. There are several screens, and some have a filter. Make sure the fluid is at the correct level. Too much/little will also cause rough shift. WARNING: always use Honda/Acura fluids and parts.
Honda will never have a V8 and their 4wd system ain't all that gd tbh
We had a 1999 Toyota 4 runner 2 wheel drive, 4 cylinder and 5 speed manual transmission.
We pulled a 2,000 lb tent trailer from southern california across arizona, new mexico, to
colorado and into Utah. We even went up very steep roads sometimes at 25 mph. Pulling even that 1 ton trailer we got under 15 mpg.
This smaller suv did the job pulling that trailer over 3,000 miles that trip. On flat interstates
it can pull that trailer at near or over 70 mph.
We sold our 1999 4 runner with near 200,000 miles for near $5,000 in the year 2018 for a nearly 20 year old vehicle. We had no problem selling our 4 runner for $5K. Without the trailer it got near 25 mpg and could cruse at 80 mph no problems. The better mileage was a speeds closer to 70 mph.
The 4 runner had great ground clearance with lots of room in the back with the seat folded down.
Incredible as it sounds we now have a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan that will pull that 1 ton tent trailer even at 70 mph and gets near or over 20 mpg. The Grand Caravan has in incredible engine and drive train. It is an amazing vehicle. In the years near 2013 Dodge redesigned their 6 cylinder engine done by Domler Mercedes with the transmission.
That 3.6 engine earned my respect, good power at high rpms and smooth
At the end of this month I will be buying my buddies 97 4Runner for 2k. Its a southern car so low rust. It has about 225k miles on it. I will be taking it in due to the AC not working but I am happy to hear these things are tanks!
I love my 2005 Acura MDX. Over 200k miles and she’s still going strong. Love my Lexus’ as well.
have you had any transmission problems? Im curently looking at an 06 mdx with 180k miles for 4k but all the pistons are misfiring
@@devoncarter5580 knock on wood I haven’t.

I just got a 2000 crv. It drives like a dream. I cant believe it🤣☝️
@@TreyGoose I miss mine!
My favorite car of all time was a 1991 Nissan Pathfinder just like that 4Runner. It was a dream. Sadly I live in PA and it was the rust that did it in. If I could drive something like that I would be a happy camper:+) God bless~
Scotty is like the Energizer Bunny and these SUVs are also, they just keep going and going and going....😊
My wifes' 2005 Four runner has 424,000 miles on it. Still runs as good as the day we bought it. I could kick myself for selling my Tundra that had the exact same engine and transmission.
I parted with cars that are worth tens of thousands of dollars, now. Cars that cost under 4k new in the 60s bring over 100k now.
If I only had a time machine!
@@OtayBuckwheat I have a 1964 Ford Galaxie I need to get back on the road. My granddad bought it new. My dad drove it to high school and college. I could probably get a little $$$$ for it.

@@OtayBuckwheat Nice cars! That Cutlass is a beauty! My Galaxie is a 4 door hard top so probably not worth a fortune, but it's still pretty rare. It has the 390 with a 4 barrel Holley carb from the factory. It's fun to drive.
Friend of mine has a V8 2005 Porsche Cayenne and it’s done over 500,000 miles. It look and drives great and has only ever had basic fluids and wear and tear items.
No way
@@titanjake8640
Honestly, ours now has 135k mikes on and us about the same model year. The coolant pipes (those bad plastic ones) went when it was about 13 years old.
It’s also always been driven hard.
Truthfully it’s fir me the most reliable car owned ana least expensive on maintenance.
I have a '99 4 Runner...270K mi...solid and strong as can be! I has NEVER not started...ever! Runs great, drives great, no repairs except for starter motor solenoid contacts...spark plugs at 120Kmi (just cuz) and timing belt at 220K mi (didn't break just replaced it for preventative maintenance)...batteries every now and again. All accessories work. AC blows cold as ice. Thing is a dream. Owned a GMC SUV product before. Simply no comparison in quality and drivability.
Awesome we’re planning on getting the MDX yay!! I’m hyped to get it Scotty approved lol
92 land cruiser 350 thousand miles. Still runs strong.
How in the world do we find a mechanic LIKE YOU!??!!
the name is Linda LOL. Or Linda's husband.
Very correct with salt exposed vehicles. They dump truck loads of salt every winter in the Upper Midwest and the Northeast.
We know that Scotty. But there are people that change cars every so often, they don’t wanna buy something once. It’s still a great info for those types of people, and you may convince them I’m sure ! I I have an old Corolla that’s like new .hahaha It’s great man. You remember me!
I find Timing belts to be better if it is a non-interference engine.
FJ Cruiser has to be here too but it’s essentially a 4 runner
The Sequoia is the best Toyota SUV. Pulls way more than a 4runner and cruiser. At least that's my opinion as I turned mine into an overlander.
Best 4 runner/Surf ever would be the VZN130 with a 1GR and 6-speed trans fitted.
We have had 2 Honda Pilots...a 2003 and a 2004 and BOTH of their Transmissions went out!! No more Pilots!
But the Acura MDXs...even the older ones, go FOREVER!
💚 my 98 4Runner Limited with 314,000km. Turned it into an offroad beast 💪🇨🇦

Pretty impressive for a 25 yo

I welded seat frames center beams and rear sub frames for Honda in Ohio. I also used to get to destroy them in the destruct room so they could check the quality. Fun times.
Mr. Kilmer, What are the best snow tires to use? Thanks
The Acura dealer near me is selling MDXs (as well as RDXs, Integras, & TLXs) w/no markup, plus has discounted financing/leases plus rebates for conquest/previous owners.
Bottom line is Acuras cost the same or less than similar Hondas since the Honda dealers all have markups of $5-15k. 🚙🚗
I’ve got a 1st gen taco same engine as the 4Runner with 273k miles on the original timing belt 😅 I’d level it with bilstein 5100s much better ride
I like my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L V8.
Doing the suspension, it's 20 years overdue
I had a 14 mdx and my mpg was around 20-22. I dont ise the sport all the time but i will probably still get 18 if im on sport mode. Dreaming of getting the mdx type s!
Thanks for making us feel better about our new purchase of a 99 4Runner. 15 years in Texas before landing in Buffalo. Hope that you’re still a Bills Fan! Thanks for your honest videos!❤😂🦬
Friend, get it!!!!! Change the belt + water pump and drive! Bulletproof!!!
I had No Idea it is a Bypass Motor... Great Tip Scotty
I bought a 07 Honda Pilot. The guy that sold it to me rolled back the mileage 125k miles. I bought it with 115k miles. Tried to get my money back but I decided to just drive it into the ground after fighting with the guy. My 1/4 million mile Honda drives perfect, I have no issues with it. Just have to change my oil and she drives amazing. Drove from Cali to Colorado and had no issues at all. I’m hoping to get at least 4 more years out of the thing.
Don't forget the timing belt
Beautiful vehicle, and the massaging seats are great, but it would make me tired so I wouldn't use it while driving

Scotty has such a wonderful soul.
I had a 2005 4 Runner SRV 6 cylinder that was the best vehicle I've ever owned! I loved that truck and bought it new. It had surprising acceleration! The body was still clean in 2015 with 75,000 miles on it when I discovered holes in the frame! I wound up trading it in for way more than I expected to get. I got a 2015 Rav-4 which is just not anywhere near as good as that 4 Runner was! The new one's in 2015 seemed much too big for what I needed so I got the RAV-4..
Been buying Ford new since 1988. Last one is my 2014 F150. Best truck for me.
Just bought a 2023 4Runner lol. I’m in Love with this thing!
I have a 2021, and I'm in love with mine too. They had to give me a rental when they put on new tires because they didn't balance them right the first time, they gave me a 2023, and literally nothing is different. They were supposed to get a redesign in 2022 but I guess that got pushed back. I drove a lot of very nice cars before I bought the 4Runner, and now I wouldn't trade it for a Mercedes.
@@huwhitecavebeast1972 i believe the 2023 has a lot more tech standard than the 21 but overall yes it is the same car.
Bought a 2005 Pilot with 167,000 miles on it with a broken timing belt for $1200. South Carolina car from day one. Replaced the timing belt and water pump and HOLY MOLY the dang thing ran on all six cylinders with no bent valves! Got really lucky on it. Over 200,000 on it now with zero issues.
Looking at a toyota rav 4 there's a few I've seen between 2010 and 2012... 100k miles and cheap as can be would you say go for this or is there anything in that age better? Has to be a SUV though.... Great vids as usual man
I had a Toyota Highland 2001 I had 480,000 kilometers it had no rust and was still going strong.
Scotty, I have a 1996 Toyota 4runner 3.4l 4wd. The front passenger brake caliper keeps seizing up on the rotor so snug that I can barely turn the wheel with my hands. The pistons in the caliper will not retract. I have replaced the caliper several times and it keeps doing the same thing. I replaced the ABS module and master cylinder, that didnt help either. It is also building up pressure inside of the valve covers and blowing lots of oil out from the gaskets. Could the seized caliper be causing the extreme pressureto build inside the valve covers when I drive? Do you have any suggestions on what could be causing the caliper to keep seizing.
Yep it’s from 96 that’s why.
Replace the hose
@@edwardhalpin7503 false
The clip on the hose may have rusted and prevent fluid going back
Change your brake lines from your master cylinder to your calipers I had the same problem and fixed it
Bought a new 2019 MDX and a 2019 RDX still drives like New...💯❤️ Them both.
WriteMe☝️
I've been driving 2004 Honda Pilot AWD reach over 2,000,000 miles👈👍. The engine is still good and strong 👍
2002 Acura MDX with 430K. Running strong. First gen MDX notorious for transmission issues so I guess I got lucky.
Oh yeah… I have the sam car. 3 hundred thousand miles on it.. but I’m on my second transmission !!
Did you get it new? Check if the recall was done on it. You will see an oil cooler line on the fill plug.
@@kayjay4060 no. I brought it. Used.
@@harveyhankerson8359 Make sure to keep upon the fluids. Acura/honda fluid only. Call your local dealers and see if they have a discounted website. My local Honda and Acura dealers both have websites that you can buy online cheaper, and pick up from them. Saves a good amount of money too. I have had good luck getting deals on cases from my local Acura dealer.
Scotty I've never seen or heard any MDX or Acura reach 500k miles but many 4runners sequoia tundra lx470 gx470 land cruiser...
course you haven't Toyota makes around 8 million each year cars, on the other hand Acura makes less 150 thousand each year
next time get a better comparison like honda and Toyota that is a real competition
Have 326,000 on my MDX ‘06. Black on black. Seems like it has no signs of quitting.
I still love my 2006 4Runner.
He's from Niagara Falls, NY. I am too. Living near family in Virginia these days. Better for jobs here. I have a Lexus SUV and I love it!
I have 2021 Pilot EXL. V6 gets 27.5 city and 30-31 hwy. Has most of the stuff the MDX has for $20,000 less. Been good so far.
That’s hard to believe to be honest. I don’t believe you.
15-19 mpg for City
24-28mpg on Highway
This sounds more logic
Yea I have the same one 21 highway 19 city
2015 Mazda CX-5 Sport. Great SUV
Scotty what about the RX350 or Highlander platform? Read many reports but can you do one on those (looking to buy a used one). Also would love to see you cover the Lexus LS430 platform since I just bought a babied one
MDX transmissions used to grenade all the time when I worked at an Acura dealership. What year did they fix it?
Good evening Scotty! I've got a 17 Corolla with 68k miles, got a squeaking noise (not very loud) coming from the engine when it's in drive but not when it's in neutral or park, any idea what that could be?
When did you change you oil? Make check for errors
@@RomaKTLlll oil changed less than 3k miles at the dealership supposedly, i checked it the other day it still is at good level and good color to it
I have a 2018 Corolla that made the same noise. I took it to Toyota and they said it was the alternator that needs to be replaced. Apparently some cars of those years came with bad alternators. They replaced under warranty and haven’t a problem since. I recommend you get it checked right away.
I love how Scotty asked the vehicle owner to film him.
