When to change plus on 2012 Yaris w 30k miles
I am not sure, but I think my mechanic wants to change my spark plugs at 30k miles.
I thought they were good for 100k miles. Also, do I need to clean out my glove compartment for him to replace the cabin air filter? |

Do not allow mechanic to go anywhere near your plugs!!!!!!!!!!
What is he, like 82 years old and has never heard of iridium?

Lol @ weeyari but I agree. I have 102k on my 2010. Other than a bunch of oil changes and a few wiper blades I have only replaced the engine air filter twice and two tires. I like the car so much I just purchased a 2016 so I can give the other to a grandchild. Unless you think there is a problem leave it be.

How to change your cabin air filter in under a minute: http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/T...ide/index.html Don't bother "inspecting" the air filter. Simply changing it requires the same amount of work. Repeat once or twice a year or so. |

At 30K miles, the plugs DON'T need to be changed.
You can buy an OEM quality cabin filter on ebay for under $5 (including shipping), and change it yourself in about a minute. You don't need to empty your glovebox. Kar98 has given you a good DIY link above. http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Fiber-...5XfOSL&vxp=mtr I bought this combo pack and received it in just 2 days: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Engine-Cabin...RUY76u&vxp=mtr |
