Good to hear! FYI, I will be changing the auto trans fluid once a year as well, as it only needs 3 quarts, and I pretty much drive my cars like I've stolen them

I currently have 235,728 miles on my Yaris. I had the spark plugs replaced at just over 208,000 miles for the first time (amazingly, a Toyota dealer was the cheapest place I found). When I picked the car up, the service writer at the dealership told me they tried to find things to recommend that I do re service, and the only thing they could come up with was to change the air filter (I had a new one waiting in the wings t put in myself after the spark plug change). He said the engine is in great shape and is not burning any oil.
