30K throttle service - Toyota Yaris Forums

Toyota Technician · 08-17-2007, 09:20 PM

P.S. the worst a dirty air filter will do is give you crappy gas milage...the dirt is staying in the filter, its not gonna magicaly get through the filter and attach to the MAF sensor...its just gonna give you bad gas milage and make the car run like crap. its a good idea to keep up with vehicle maintanence, just let the buyer beware.

change the air filter out every 30k miles(you can do it yourself, it isnt hard,only one way these air filters fit in and you dont need any tools),the fuel filter 15k-30k miles depending on how cheap of gas you buy. for the rest of the maintanence, follow what your cars owners manual says, and call reputable dealerships and private shops when you need a service and get prices on it BEFORE you walk in.[/QUOTE]

your right dirt will not magicaly get through your a/f,particulant matter WILL pass through ur a/f ,ANY a/f will have some particulant matter pass through af's only filter down so far just like oil filters, c'mon u guys dont really think that a a/f that filters down to 10-15 microns is going to catch particulant matter that is 5 microns (same for oil filters). if u can go 30k befor u change
ur af u must be in some clean air,here where i live if u get 10-12 k ur lucky so alot of this has to do with where u live.

also i wouldnt always go by ur manual, the yaris surrpost to be 100k coolent well i have tested coolent at 50-60 k and only have 0 degree protection it is a must to have at lest -32 degree protection WHERE I LIVE everywhere will be different.

good quality throttal body cleaner(bg) will not harm ur catalist in any way.

NOT all dealers are their to take every cent u have if i sell something at work i can walk u to ur car and directly show y u need this and the conditions this will cause etc.

and since were throwing out numbers how about ase certified, toyota certified, ford certified, nashville auto deisel college grad-associates degree and numerous other certifications in auto and deisel (actually over 100)

so i know what i am talking about
