All maintenance requirements based on mileage intervals

I am hopeful swidd was joking.(?) Dumping coolant into the environment is NOT a good idea. Ethylene Glycol is extremely toxic and a relatively small amount can kill a child or small animal who may be attracted by it's sweetness. Who knows where it will end up. Collect it and recycle it. It doesn't take much more effort to be responsible.

I lost a pet cat as a result of my dad not covering up the antifreeze he drained into an oil catch in our driveway. He went into the house to get something and the cat must have smelled it and lapped some up while he was inside.

Dead cat.

"Power is from the 1NZ-FE 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine familiar from the Scions and the Prius. Here is makes 106 horsepower at 6000 rpm, with 103 lb-ft of torque at 4200 rpm, and drives the front wheels through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Like most current Toyota engines, it is an aluminum alloy unit with dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, VVT-i variable valve timing, coil-on-plug direct ignition, and electronic throttle control. There is a timing chain, not a belt, for lower maintenance. "

Yup, timing chain likely good for the life of the car.

Saves about $800-$900 every 100K.
