Results from 100,000 maintenance
Since my thread got zapped in The Great Crash of '09 I thought I'd post the results from my 100,000 maintenance. Even I was amazed. He did a radiator flush, tire rotation, alignment, checked the brakes and basically anything and everything else. The only thing that was worn and in need of replacing was my windshield wipers. He said the brakes looked good and didn't need changing but he did adjust them a little. I figured the brake pads needed changing at the least.
It's ready for the next 100,000 miles!

I recall reading this pre 10/18. While it is good to hear your 100,000 mile results, it does need to be noted that the average individual will require atleast 6 to 8 years to achieve this kind of milage.
The wear and tear conditions drastically differ between achieving 100,000 in short order, compared to 'normal' racking up of the miles. |

I would still change the spark plugs at 100k even if they look like they have a tiny bit of life left. I dont like leaving plugs in for excessive milage as they have a chance of seizing up in the cylinder head.

+1 on spark plug change ...
even if they are iridium , you'll get deposits on the tips from additives , motor oil ( blow by past rings ) , etc.. They will wear and gap becomes larger making for pour firing . These conditions will decrease power and mileage . Had them change the iridium sparks in the 2000 Chevy PRIZM ( Corolla ) at around 90,000 miles and there was a noticeable increase in mileage and pickup . They do say 120,000 mile change , but that's stretching it a bit in my opinion .

30 years ago 100,000 miles was a huge milestone. Now it's nothing for a well built car.

I drive my yaris very very hard. I dont plan on my brakes making it to 40k. My tires ill be lucky to get 10k miles. But im a mechanic and i get all parts wholesale from dealer or even cheaper aftermarket so dosnt bother me much. May plan to put on some performance pads and rotors when the time comes.
