Hey guys,
it's me again! I've recently turned 300,000 miles on my yaris in less than 2 1/2yrs. I'm still running on the original factory equipped brakes, clutch and sensors. I've NEVER had any mechanical problems with the car. The car still runs like a dream. The only things I've done on the car is regular oil changes @ 5000 miles using Wal-mart Super Tech 5w30 Synthetic oil with Toyota OEM oil filters, install new tires every 60,000 - 80,000 miles, replace spark plugs with OEM Denso iridium spark plugs and Toyota OEM drive belt every 100,000 miles, and replaced shocks and struts with Toyota OEM shocks and struts on the car's 2yr anniversary. The brake rotors are still smooth like glass to where you can still see your reflection in it and it has no lip on the edge of it and the brake pads have about 3.5mm remaining on them right now. All the mods on the car were done after 150,000 miles. I have a Weapon R short ram intake with an Arospeed SUS filter, Megan exhaust headers, NST under drive pulley, Tanabe lowering springs and front upper strutbar, TRD rear swaybar, and custom 2 1/4" magnaflow exhaust.

Check my youtube video of the car turning 300,000 miles.

This was a Critic find.

 

[Cutehumor]

in 6.5 years, he should have a million miles. how long is he going to drive that car?

 

[Pablo]

He must have a sore [censored].

 

[cousincletus]

^^^I know I do. Haha. I drive the big truck anywhere between 120 and 160K per year. Gotta have a good seat.

 

[GROUCHO MARX]

The Critic and buster scour the internet like Ajax for gems such as these.

 

[Billy_D]

If you scroll down to read his comments. This is what triniper4mance said

"you may be shocked if I tell you what kinda oil I use. I use Wal-mart Super Tech Synthetic 5w30 oil with OEM Toyota filters which helps maintain the right amount of oil pressure in the motor, unlike the non-oem filters."

 

[Blokey]

Is that an oiled cotton gauze filter he used with his SRI?

 

[exranger06]

Where the heck are these people driving?? I still haven't reached 22k miles on my 06 truck.

 

[Johnny]

It's no wonder the brakes are original, he never stops.

 

[cousincletus]

He's probably a courier. If it's a commute, he must never get any sleep.

I'm sure firemachine69 will love to see this.

 

[Norm Olt]

Sure: I believe him...

As he calmly drives his Yaris at 120 MPH in traffic on the Interstate!

So, 300K miles on a speedo that reads 120 mph = 150K miles on a speedo that (correctly) reads 60 mph

Duh!

p.s. Think he gets paid by the mile, maybe?

At an average of 330 miles/day 7 days a week, I think you are correct.

 

[Norm Olt]

Also, this was done at 9:09 pm in January... Or, sometime around January.

Pretty light out, wouldn't you say?

Cheers!

 

[kkreit01]

What's most impressive is that his engine has lasted ~150k mi on a WeaponR intake.

That's a lot of driving!

 

[Ben99GT]

It would really suck to spend that much time in a Yaris of all things.

 

[Drew99GT]

He's a medical courier.

I like driving and all, but that just sounds painful.
