I just like well built stuff. I like to use it, maintain it, talk about it and relate to people that have experienced similar things.
Whites Fulton 6 month review|| Leather maintenance tips appreciated.
Six months if hard use. I’m having some difficulties maintaining the leather on these. How much conditioning is too little? How much is too much?

Is this the most reliable Toyota ever?|| 2013-2017 Avalon

No oil consumption, never a check engine light, not one single out of pocket repair in 145,000 miles. These might be the most reliable cars Toyota has ever made. Driven hard, used every single day. The thing just gobbles the miles up and asks for more.

Red Wing 8138 Heritage moc toe 3 year/300 mile review.
All of your concepts are solid. However Toyota has really different intervals, like it could be 30,000 per transmission oil change.
Yeah you’re right, they have a HUGE portfolio of vehicles in their lineup, and that’s just the United States, never mind Europe and everywhere else. Every time I go to Canada/Europe/the Caribbean, I see Toyotas I’ve never seen or heard of before. Regarding transmission fluid changes - 25,000- 30,000 miles is my preferred mileage mark, but many will argue that is too soon/too frequent, but I also only prefer drain and fills over flushes and pan removals.
Great video, very good advice. There are teslas model 3s that have done almost 500k miles with just tires and suspension parts, still original brakes and batteries. I’m not sure if I would do that with ice car, it’s expensive, not just maintenance but also fuel in California is not cheap.
I’ve heard the opposite on repairs for Tesla, BUT I personally don’t have experience working on Tesla’s. Good to hear there are instances with the EV’s being reliable and inexpensive to own and operate. Someday I’m sure I will own an EV, but I’m not ready to take that plunge right now. Tesla is a company I’ve been told multiple times to buy stock in, and I haven’t pulled the trigger when I should have. I’ve been told this is a company that has so many other revenue sources that their EV segment won’t be the driving factor…instead it’ll be AI, batteries, charging networks, electric strobe, solar roofs, market share. Next time it drops bellow $200 I’m buying in.
Excellent vid. Well explained and informative 👍🏽
I'm have the seme negative thing's and my boot part
I actually do like these things a lot, but there are a few things I’m concerned with, then again maybe I shouldn’t be? I’ll find out soon enough, I haven’t worn these all summer but in a couple weeks when it gets a little cooler where I am I’ll be wearing these everyday.
I think a lot of people dump their cars when 2 things happen #1 suspensions starts to wear out and the car feels "Old" or #2 the Engine Mounts wear out and the car starts to vibrate and shimmy. These 2 issues are very very easy to fix in most cars but they can be hard to diagnose. Even high quality technicians can fail to figure out vibrations as they have so little time to do so. But a smart car owner can figure it out.
I have to agree. Good points.
I'm a rideshare driver. Therefore, I drive at least 50k miles a year. My last car, VW Jetta, got to 230k miles. Unfortunately, I got into a car accident and was totaled. Now I have 2022 jetta, and it's at 97k miles. I'm hoping this one lasts well over 200k miles. I've kept up with all maintenance. I'm glad this video showed up on my recommendation tab.
The 50,000 mile a year folks always impress me. That’s a lot of driving and a lot of maintenance to keep a car going!
I got a pair of the blacksmiths in the copper and they were comfortable out of the box
My next boot purchase may be the blacksmiths in black. I’m looking for a boot I can wear with a suit and the eyelets being black should be ok wearing a suit. I’ve been wearing my Iron Rangers with suits and yeah, it doesn’t look good. Haha.
Great video. I currently own a 1996 Ford Ranger (bought it new in '96) and I'm a little over 300k miles and running good. I enjoy getting the most out of my vehicles too. Opinion: I have an opportunity to buy a 2014 Lincoln MKZ from a buddy who has taken care of it. 2.0 Ecoboost engine 2WD 177k miles Talked to my mechanic, said he can't think of any major issues with this model. Got offered the friend deal, which is much lower than what I would pay somewhere else. Should I?
That’s a lot of miles for a little four cylinder turbo but supposedly those engines are more reliable than the 1.5 liter. But he took good care of it, and you are getting a good deal. I guess it depends on how long you plan to keep it and how much driving you plan on doing. Will it be your primary vehicle doing 25,000 miles a year? Or will it be a backup vehicle putting 8,000 miles a year?
2024 Corolla 2.0 liter in USA and Canada calls for 0W8 (water). 2024 Corolla 2.0 liter in Mexico calls for 5W30. Just use 0W30 it is superior oil that meets the strikest European standards that we do not even have in North America. 0W30 is thicker than 5W30 at operating temp (100 Celsius) but flows much better in colder temp than 5W30. So better hot and better cold.
Sounds like you’re a fan of the Mobil1 0W30 ESP…some PAO and Mercedes 229.5 certification. Better HTHS than their regular 0W30
2010 Chrysler town and country 3.3 427.555
I don’t want to sound rude, but I’ve owned one of those before, you must have put a couple transmissions in that thing, right? I had an earlier model, I sold it at around 75,000 miles - it served me well up till that point but it was horrible in the snow/winters. The balance of weight wasn’t great on the front wheels for traction, I wish I had the AWD. The transmission blew a year after I sold it. What repairs have you done to yours?
I have a 2016 Kia Soul 1.6L Base with 333,333 miles that averaged 48k per year doing Uber and it has the original factory transmission fluid and still shifts like butter. It’s clearly an exception not the rule. I recently just changed the front suspension at 320k and rear struts. That’s it. Same exhaust just 1 different catalytic converter at 80ish-k miles under Kia recall. She’s truly a champion ❤
Seems everyone has different experiences with sizing and breaking in. I have some amber harness rangers. My brannock is 10.5 d-e (depending). I wear an 11e in sneakers. I had to go 9.5ee in my iron rangers, a full size and a half lower than my sneakers. I tried 10ee, but they were too long. As far a break in, they were comfortable on my carpet, decent on hard floors. It took a couple of days to really get used to hard floors with them; never had any real pain, just hardish feeling soles for a bit. I do wear boots for a living, and stand for up to 13 hours a day, so maybe my feet are a little more accustomed to boots/pain/standing. Who knows.
These just didn’t agree with me initially. It’s funny because I do wear boots for work in harsh conditions all day long…cement floors, lot of standing, lot of walking/working. I can’t wear these things for what I do (automotive), there isn’t enough separating me from the floor. I wear Thorogoods, Whites, Red Wing work boots, Duradero, for that stuff. The Iron Rangers are strictly casual boots for me, I’ll never be able to work in these things. But I do love them!
Amazing engine ! I have the same 2GR-FE in my 07' camry and still running smooth and strong, no complaints. Toyota reliability stands by its reputation. There are Lexus vehicles with over 500,000 miles with this same engine. I change my oil every 3k miles or every 3 months (mobil 1 5w-30) and used only TRD oil filter. However, I'm back to using the original factory oem oil filter. It seems lately they don't sell the TRD oil filter anymore for 2GR-FE. It's was a premium filter and had better filtration properties.
I love this engine! Most reliable engine I’ve owned. I’ve used a number of different filters since I’ve owned it…Fram Ultra synthetic, Toyota OE, Super Tech, Carquest. I haven’t had any issues with any of them. And I’ve experimented with maybe 10 different brands of oil, this engine just doesn’t care, it always performs flawlessly with excellent used oil analysis.
207k on an 06 Silverado and the only times I’ve had to fix anything have been my fault (don’t hoon in a hooptie kids) only problem I’m having now after all this time has been the alternator is starting to not hold charge anymore.
Nice! I don’t see many 2006’s in one piece in my area anymore. All rotted out. Dodge Rams even worse
@@doublebase6509 very true if you live up north, I still see some second gen RAMs here some times in South Florida. One of the better states to keep your car in due to lack of road salt lol. Ima drive my Silverado till the bearings fall off tho 🤣
334k 07 tacoma, only did 34k myself. Some of the high mileage cars still run the best. Like they were built extra better-er from the factory
Good video! Also, don’t drive like an idiot. Helps.
Big part of it, agree 100%
Brake fluid is not supposed to be topped off man, fluid levels go down with brake pad wear and fills a chamber behind the caliper pistons. Just change ur brakes or inspect for leaks.
I’ve never not topped off brake fluid, I’m more concerned with the level going too low and allowing air into the master cylinder. I’ll siphon some out if I’m doing a brake job. You’ve never had the level drop enough to cause problems? If you haven’t, maybe I’ll stop topping off…no use doing it if it’s not needed.
How do you check how many labor hours does it take?
Paid software programs… Mitchell On Demand, Alldata. There may be a few others. They’ll give the labor times on every repair on every vehicle. You could probably google a repair to get a rough estimate but it may not be accurate.
I broke mine in in a week. All day everyday I wore them. But my feet are used to breaking in tough leather boots from the military.
I’m not able to wear these things everyday, all day. I have work boots I have to do that in. Work boots I can usually break-in in a week, unless they’re Pacific Northwest loggers, those take me a good month. I can only go a few hours a day at first in those types of boots.
@@doublebase6509 Red Wing states the iron rangers take 80 hours to break in. I’d recommend making your own boot stretch liquid (1 part isopropyl alcohol and 3 parts water). Soak em down and go cut the grass. Then condition em. Will help you immensely.
I did have an issue with brake fluid after about 10 years. Made the brake pedal squeak in the summer. Apparently boiling in the line…
My daily is a ‘99 Camry (5S-FE) almost 347,000, original engine/transmission, cold AC. Southern car all its life, no rust.
Got to love those rust free southern Toyotas!
Great video! Love the Avalon…have one just like it (2017)!
Amazing cars!
💯 fluids and maintenance is the key to a high mileage vehicle. Also, if you have a car garage at home, invest in tools. Become competent and DYI. The savings add up after years of ownership and the satisfaction of acknowledging that it was all because of YOU! It’s not rocket science. Great video.
Well said! Thank you!
Hi! In the video you said that you used 5w30 but the cap recommends 0w20. I've seen other videos where people have said that the 2GR-FE did not change internally after Toyota started to recommend 0w20. Does this mean we can still use 5w30 with no risks of engine wear or other repercussions?
I wouldn’t recommend anyone to do anything against the owners manual, but essentially yes, there doesn’t appear to be many internal changes to the 2GRFE in those years, and I have been running 5W30 for 50,000 miles now with oil analysis tests showing virtually no difference in wear (and so have many other people). But I will say that the 0W20 seemed to test out just as well in oil analysis too. I made the switch at higher mileage figuring a slight increase in viscosity and high temperature high shear, oil would help.
5:09 If you want to go half a million miles, get a Toyota Hybrid. This V6 Camry is not a hybrid, so this wouldn't be my choice of drivetrain.
I’d worry about the hybrid battery going if I’m trying to reach 500,000 miles. Then again Toyota does make some of the best, if not THE BEST, hybrids on the market. I’m averaging 27.5 mpg with the V6 in a large car…with plenty of useful power and acceleration, but you probably are right…the hybrid Toyota might be a better choice.
@@doublebase6509 OEM hybrid batteries don't cost that much. The median working-age American spends around $10k a year to drive. $4k for a hybrid battery replacement ($400 per year, if done every 10 years) is chump-change compared to that. And hybrid batteries can last far longer than 10 years with proper care and maintenance (need to keep it cool, which means keeping the fan clean). Fuel-cost is not the only reason to go hybrid. Reliability is my #1 reason. You have a ton of maintenance items in your V6 Camry which simply don't exist in my 2016 Prius c. A caveat is that my car has two coolant loops (the 2nd one is for the inverter). But my car has no belts. All accessories are electric, including the AC, power steering, and power brakes. There's no alternator. Regen braking means my brakes last forever. The list goes on and on. Toyota Hybrid is the only sane choice today for a half-million-mile vehicle investment.
A ton of maintenance on a V6 Toyota Avalon/Camry? Two oil changes per year, a transmission service every 50,000 miles and a coolant change the first 100,000 miles. Spark plugs at 120,000 miles and air filters every 30,000-45,000 miles. This is not a ton of maintenance, this isn’t a Ferrari we’re talking about here. 🤣🤣
I bought an 89 camry for 575 at auction in LA. 296k. The first owners must have maintained it. The last owners did not. It had no installed starter when i got it. Burned out one in trunk. Installed a new one. Turn signal didnt work on left, made a loud noise. Got that whole assembly thing at the junkyard and fixed that. Almost of the bulbs were burned somehow. Replaced those. AC i havent figured out yet. No air at vent. I have the evaporator removed. Windows werent working. Wasnt motors or switches and im not great with a multimeter. So i got 4 manual regulators off a base model 89 and the door panels and took a hodge podge of pieces to nake these super cool looking two tone door panels out of stock parts. Im delivering amazon packages in this car. I also like high mileage cars and take pride in having the oldest car and possibly the highest mileage car at most warehouses. Im currently installing an aisin timing belt water pump kit Also doing front struts with kyb inserts and waiting on injectors that i mailed out to a guy who rebuilds them perfectly. Oh yeah, i installed a rack and pinion cause the old one wasnt holding fluid. Im at 304k. Pulled the cover today when i started the tear down for the timing belt injectors and other atuff. Cam lobes are discolored. Ive done two oil changes so far and ran a flush both tines. Gonna do another flush when im wrapping up this slew of maintenance and repairs I hope yo get to 400k in my 575 dollar 296k mile toyota
Love this! That’s a lot of work, do you have a lift at home? If not, that power steering rack must have been a royal pain to do. Nice job on the car. The no airflow to the AC vents makes me wonder if a mode door is stuck or something.
best advice if you want high mileage - don't buy any GM product except commercial grade work trucks or full size work vans. they've had planned obsolescence built into them since 1923 and are virtually guaranteed to turn to shit in about 7 years regardless of maintenance or driving habits.
I agree 1,000%. Absolute biggest mistake I’ve made was buying a newer Silverado with the 5.3 with AFM and direct injection. Barely made it to 30,000 miles before I started having problems.
207K and still going strong
Toyota is king of high mileage. Everything you said is true. If you're rich, you can deal with the Merc. Cost over the life of the car is almost nothing. My oldest Toyota is 33 years young. No payment for 30 years.
33 year old Toyota!!?? Wow, how many miles?
I do 3000 mile oil changes
I don’t.
I have 252,000 miles and all I have replaced is the alternator
What kind of vehicle? That’s very rare to only repair one thing. Wow.
5-7k mile oil change? lol yea ok buddy SKIP
I think it’s probably a good idea that you do skip, grandpa.
I'm trying to go 10 k using full synthetic and only need the vehicle 3 - 5 years and 100 k miles ,,, I paid 5 k for the vehicle and normally buy a new 5 k vehicle every 5 ish years , my last vehicle lasted 7 years 320 k on the odometer changed the oil when I bought it at 172 k and never again just topped it off about a quart a month it leaked from the rear main seal ..😂
Honestly, doesn’t sound like a bad idea if it’s working for you. I have run 10,000 Mike intervals using a high quality oil/filter, with oil analysis. I also did it in the right engine, with the right driving conditions. I’m doing it right now actually (and I’m the guy that made the video).
I have 160,000 on my 2nd gen chevy cruze and I plan on taking it to 500,000k and I'm modding it with better quality parts. It has a stock turbocharger but I got a better Waistegate. I also am getting a PCV reroute and a Oil Catch Can. I change the oil every 5,000 and I plan on changing the transmission fluid soon.
Have had any issues with it yet?
@@doublebase6509 I had to replace a couple bad sensors which only costed me a couple bucks to replace. I just make sure to baby the turbo. Not revving it up that much and giving the car a minute after starting before driving.
@@ninjadeamon nice! Sounds like you have a plan. I ran a catch can in a newer Silverado for a year until I sold it…winter time I got a lot of condensation and I had to be careful to empty it more frequently because if you’re not careful they’ll freeze and stop the PCV system from working. But I liked having a catch can. Good idea to baby the turbo too.
Start with a Honda or a Toyota. That’s the key.
For me I want to go to 500k but I also like to replace things on the car before it goes out because I take long drives to the mountains, etc and I don't want to experience a problem during a trip. I'd rather deal with it at home. Anything made in Japan I trust (Mazda, Toyota)
Yeah, mountain driving is interesting, isn’t it? A lot of strain on the transmission going up and down. I’ve watched my tranny temp just climb and climb going up smaller mountain roads in the summer. My brake rotors have been ruined going down some mountain roads before too. Weather has also turned on a dime on me in winter…from bright and sunny to a complete white out in a matter of minutes, dumping three inches of blinding snow on the ground. That was scary. Drove through a few hail storms before too (had to pull over). Seen a few horrific deaths too over the years…cars going over cliffs, lot of motorcycle fatalities. I would want my vehicle to be in very good condition if I were driving mountain roads.
I got a ford Taurus 2011, 165 on the dash, Plan on having this car for the rest of my life 😂
Hopefully that will be a long time! 🤣🤣
Great video... I appreciate the rundown. What about manual transmission vehicle (i have sedan car and lite 4x4) ? The owners manual says change preictally-never, but I don't believe that.
I’d change it, no harm can come from changing it and keeping up with it. Albeit probably less maintenance frequency than an automatic, but that wouldn’t stop me from even over maintaining it. It’s pretty a Inexpensive fluid.
Hahaha I saw the plates blocked and you said you are from Northern area, I just figured MA, RI, NH or maybe even VT and then you said New England
Yeah it’s hard to hide my accent. Boston heavy…pahk the cah. I’ve tried to tame It but it usually wins every time. 🤣🤣👍
You can get a half size up and put insoles in them and they are way more comfortable
Yeah I just won’t have any room in the toe box area to add an insole in virtually any size with these things. But I get what you’re saying and I’m sure it works for some people. The boots do feel a lot better now than before - I just haven’t worn them much of lately because of summer - but as soon as fall rolls around I’ll have these on a lot.
@doublebase6509 maybe after you wear them in a bit you could fit them in
Mine is 09 accord euro 2.4. It’s on 220,000 km. Drives very smooth.
370k on 2001 honda accord
I put 289,000 on a 1999 Honda Accord before the rust took over (and oil consumption). Loved that car though!
Got an 04 sequoia thats been in the family since new. 14 states and almost 250k miles so half way there! 2UZ's are tough as nails.
Those things are indestructible!
I work for a large organization, and we have a lot of 4x4 trucks, fleet vehicles. A chevy truck I was driving one day with the 5.3 had a low oil warning come on and I took it to our garage to get some oil for it. The truck ended up being more than 2 quarts low, the mechanic in our garage that put more oil in it told me he had recently did his certification training from GM. They told him at his training, and these were guys from GM he told me, to NOT to use 0w-20, but to use 5w30 because the engines will often consume the lighter weight oil. This mechanic told me that all the guys in the garage pretty much stopped using 0w-20 in many of the trucks because the engines don't seem to do as well. We have about 50 of the "Big three" domestic made trucks at our location. It would seem most of the engines in use today were originally engineered to run on 5w-30. These lighter oils are meant to save a few pennies on gas more than anything.
Agree, and depending on what year Chevy truck you have with that 5.3, that will have displacement on demand or AFM, which have been known for oil consumption (among other things). I would run the 5W30 in those without a second thought…might help a little bit, not much but a bit. I’d be more concerned with the transmissions in those things. Torque converters specifically. They just don’t seem to make it much further than 120,000 miles paired with that 5.3 AFM. Too much shifting going on when it drops down to 4 cylinders. I owned one in 2018…didn’t have great luck with it, and a I babied that thing while maintaining it meticulously
I know somebody that has 60K miles on his vehicle & it is ten year old. He hasn’t changed his antifreeze yet. I think it should have been changed three times by now. With antifreeze change interval it is not just miles. It is time to.
Yeah I agree, time matters too. Some of the new coolants supposedly can go up to ten years, but that seems excessive to me.
My pathfinder hit 196k and I’ve had it 8 plus years but it had about 120k and it’s been good so far fuel pump and rad coolant over haul so far
nice vid, I would love to see half a mil on my gx460
Nice vehicle! I’d say you picked the right one to try it in. I owned a Lexus LS460 for years, loved that thing!
I used ow-20 on my 2nd gen 2 (2009)she has 300k miles still run good till now and i for gotten to turn off the car 4 times the car do fine 😢😮
Yeah, honestly from the lab reports I think the 0W20 is fine for typical driving conditions in these things. I prefer the 5W30 but that’s just me.
How I wish someone told me this sooner😢
Don’t feel bad, we’ve all been there!
I am torn on what to do with my Transmission, GM 10L80 2021 Suburban with 40K miles..pan drop is labor expensive cause exhaust has to be moved. flush is reasonable at about $400 but the dealer uses BG flushes and IDK if I want that.
I’m trying to remember if I’ve done a pan on a suburban…I know I’ve done them on the Silverados…and the exhaust removal is no big deal, it’s just a disconnect so you can squeeze the pan out of there. On some you don’t even have to disconnect the exhaust, just a tranny mount and a pry bar. What I would do is take it somewhere else and get the exchange done without the BG flush. And make a point to mention/demand that you want OE GM fluid, NOT a universal fluid with an additive. That’s sometimes the problem with places that use those transmission flush machines - they only want to use one universal fluid, with an additive, and then sell you a cleaner additive to go with it. To just get someone to hook a machine up and use factory fluid can take some research and effort. I have a video on tranny services, check it out, I talk about the benefits and drawbacks of those machines.
