Locking on 400k miles here .. stay on top of your fluids ..every 50k miles do a tune up not 100k drive moderately and enjoy the ride
Incredible man! What are you driving!

My 1998 Honda Accord has 411,000 miles. I was just nodding my head every time you pointed to something that needs to be checked, replaced or maintained. Even the best made cars need consistent maintenance. But it you're lucky, and you pick a good car (like my Honda Accord!), it can last for a long time. Thanks for sharing your tips! -Robert
Thanks! Keep up with the videos very informative 👌
my Honda is a standard six speed if yours is a standard also
Is the clutch serviceable "can the Clutch be Adjusted?" in this car it's a 1999 H/A 2.3 motor
160k on my Corolla, I always do my oil changes 3-5k miles depending on what kind of driving I do that cycle. I put fuel additives on my gas tank to keep my engine running smooth. New Air filters every 2 oil changes. Transmission fluid change 30k miles I do the drain and fill method not the flush. I disconnect the battery every 10k miles to clean and condition the terminals and condition the ground. It keeps connections strong and prevents it from having a short somewhere. It’s all love and care to our cars. Our vehicles take us from point A to point B! Really good video!
I had an 06 TSX (176,000 miles), 08 RDX (+210,000 miles), and 11 MDX (155,000 miles) with very similar engine bays. I switched to full syn oil at the first oil change, changed the AT fluid every 30,000 miles, power steering at 100,000 miles, cabin air every year, rotation/balance every oil change, alignments as needed, and engine filter every 2 years, and brake fluid every 3-4 years. I did the 105,000 miles scheduled maintenance of spark plugs, coolant, water pump, serpentine belt kit, and valve adjustment (timing belt only on V-6). I had similar issues of alternators failing, leaky P/S pump/rack, crappy OEM battery failures, cracks in radiator or coolant hose, faulty radiator cap. All three cars were in perfect operating conditions when I either handed them down to a family member.
My 2004 TSX has 251k Miles and still alive! recently replaced Battery, PCV Valve, spark plugs, oil at 4k, rebuild power steering pump, fan motor, fan and ac relays. Engine does not leak any oil and at oil change its down about .75 quarts. from the full mark. 10k miles ago replaced all 4 tires . Brakes should be checked and lubricated Id say once very 2 years.
Power steering always overlooked... I'm on my original ps system at 210k, I've changed the fluid every other year (and brakes). There are also 2 o rings I change at the pump that tend to leak/suck air that can kill your system too.
Timing belt at 100k miles is the most crucial. You didn't really give the impression of how important it is
I have a Honda Accord bought it second hand 2012 with 213,000 miles on it Now I have 347,210 Miles on it Easy to work on Very Very Reliable 2.3 Motor I only paid $900.00 for this car it Never let me down or stranded me anywhere!! Amazing little Car!!
Wow what an incredible story!! Love that ✊🏽 those cars will run forever ! Plus you only for it for $900, what a steal!! Cheers 🍻
Have a 1995 Honda odyssey ex with 415,000 miles. 1st gen the best
I have the same car with the 2.4, and it's so easy to work on!
I drive a Toyota Sprinter 1999 and i have reached 342,450 Km . Tbh i love my car so much so 70% of things you mentioned in this video i already did or am doing them. Most people say the older the car, the more expensive the maintenance . But if you really love your car, regardless of what brand or buildyear you will always take care of it.
2006 Town and Country minivan with 210,000 miles. Synthetic oil change every 3-4 thousand miles. Exchange trans fluid every 40,000 and trans filter change every 100 thousand. Brake fluid flush every 40,000. Engine coolant exchange every 30-40,000. Still has original water pump. Plugs, spark plug wires and coil pack every 100 thousand. Exchange power steering fluid every 30-40 thousand.Burns 200 cc oil every 4 thousand miles. Rust belt van with minimal rust because it gets Fluid Film undercarriage every year in the fall. Lastly, drive conservatively! Don’t accelerate to stop-lights! Don’t accelerate like it’s a drag race. Don’t tail-gate!
I’ve owned 10+ Hondas/Acuras, and something you really need to watch is on the double wishbone ones, the front end wear parts. Don’t let the upper control arms go until they break and your wheel falls off! They should go 100k or so. Includes lower ball joints, lower control arms, axles, tie rods etc. one of the more frequent things I’ve needed to do. Alternators for sure and on the 90s ones, distributors. Use the blue coolant. And ONLY Honda power steering fluid. Only the ngk spark plugs that came with the car. I always drive manuals and don’t worry about the fluid inside the transmission but clutch fluid can be bled.
Currently own several 'high mileage' Acura vehicles (07 MDX @ 243k, 08 MDX @ 216k, 09 RL @ 211k & 99 TL @ 336k). After 200k consider everything suspect. Meaning most of the movements associated components have most likely exceeded engineered life span. Acuras of my vintage specifically not using premium fuel is very much a short term gain, long term loss (the EGR sys specifically). I stick to the maintenance schedule as close as possible with the only exception is oil. I replace in/around 3k using Mobil Full Syn High Mileage w/Wix filter. Honestly people can debated forever on best oil//filter combo. The key is that as thw engine continues to age it is breaking down - hello physics. So as you cross the 200k plus boundary the factory default of 7k oil change should be ignored. Everything he spoke to in this vid is spot on. PS - transmissions will fail. My 99 TL 4SPD has fianlly thrown in the towel. While it may feel daunting a $30 Honda manual from RockAuto, rent or buy some tools, and set aside the time, you too can rebuild your transmission. I guess biggest takeaway - any vehicle north of 200k dont get mad at its issues- just solve them or anticipate as much as possible. Happy wrenching everyone!
Don’t forget about the other filters! Cabin air is nice for clean smelling air but also the fuel filter which can put extra strain in the fuel pump if it gets super dirty and restricts flow. Worst case scenario, the fuel pump dies or the engine runs too lean.
love it man! Thank you for all the help!
Always appreciate love from homies! Thank YOU for supporting Mann
Great video - 1998 Toyota Sienna 250k miles - Looks and runs brand new!
I forgot to include changing the spark plug coils as part of the high mileage maintenance. The engine on my 2002 CR V starts and runs like new at 400,000 Km (about 250,000 miles) with the old coils so due for replacement.
also make sure to check ALL your hoses. i’ve recently done a timing belt on this exact car and the power steering hose snapped in half. to check simply look for and cracks and give it a squeeze, if you see any cracks or the hose feels stiff you should replace it (this goes for all the hoses)
Nice video and tips. Sometimes we have go rouge and not do what the owners manual recommends. Like some toyotas say " lifetime transmission fluid never needs changing ". Well, if you want your car to last, you better change it. And sometimes earlier than later. For example, I would change my coolant every 75k miles. This way you'll protect your water pump from going bad because coolant is also a lubricant. Also, I would change transmission fluid every 50k miles. Oil changes every 5k miles or 6 months, and brake/clutch fluid every 5 years.
This is the exact plan I am on now. Keep learning.
RQ always bringing in the HEAT
You know it big man!!
Appreciate the love
2005 Acura tl, Just hit 150k, Did the timing belt, transmission fluid change, plugs and etc.. she is running like a dream
My man! Major maintenance but glad you did it! I did mine at around 140k and I’m currently at 230k and she’s still mechanically strong!
Very informative video ty :) I recently got a 1998 nissan maxima and don't know too much about it. It has 153000 miles on it and don't know the maintenance history of the vehicle. I know it was a monthly 2-3 ×a month driver from AZ to Cali so often. Check engine light is on they are 2 sensors that both total around 100 bucks. What would you do before a cross country trip AZ to North Carolina? Ty for your time and would love a reply back as soon as you can:) stay safe and be well
I’ve reached 364,000 miles on my 2008 Dodge Charger but my engine has been going strong and I change my oil frequently. Now going to drive it today from California to Missouri again. I’ll keep it till it hits 500,000
Why stop at 500k?
@@bbminetesting6837 because it might not go any further and I want to contact Chrysler to see if they would be willing to swap it for a new one after I post it on FB. But then again, I probably wouldn’t swap it since it holds so many memories.
Volvo V70 1999 with just over 200 k miles. Just changed tranny fluid which had never been done. Was black but not burnt so should be ok. You are so right - as owners it is up to us to stay on top of this type of maintenance bc mechanics won’t give you these kinds of long-interval service reminders.
Good tips! Don't forget to clean the mass air flow sensor occasionally and maybe replace the lambda sensor in the exhaust system (just below your coolant tank) if the readings are no longer responsive on the OBDII computer.
Which sensor is that? Map?
@@justlg3359MAF - mass air flow sensor, immediately after the air filter box. MAP - mass air pressure sensor generally for turbo charged engines. This particular Acura/Honda model in the video may not have a MAP, because it is a naturally aspirated engine, but I could be wrong, as I don't have intimate knowlege of this V6 engine's electronic management system. But it will definitely have a MAF sensor. 🙂 You need MAF sensor cleaner spray to clean the MAF sensor, which the autostore will have. Be careful to use it in a well-ventliated space as it is likely to be a known carcinogen.
Great advice &tips!!!
I have a 2006 Acura TL at 153,000 miles and running great. Only issue at the moment is a need to replace the right side and front motor mounts.
Absolutely great video.

Love my 2006 Silverado 2500HD 6.0 vortec with 200,000 miles and running strong .
SEEING THAT BRAKE FLUID IS CLEAR YOUR BRAKE FLUID IS VERY OVERDUE FOR A FLUSH GREAT VIDEO
I have a TL 07 238k I am dealing with a rough idle misfire but no coil prob or oil in spark well. Misfire on 5&6
Mine got 300,000 miles on it right know :D Thanks for the advices
My man! Your doing something right!! Keep those miles coming!
209k 2007 is250 my highest mileage car. Been fairly reliable only two things that ever really went out were alternator last year (original) and fuel pressure sensor this year (think it was replaced during recall several years ago). Other than that just the basic wear and tear items and oil etc. I did do thermostat, water pump, coolant, and serpentine belt at like 200k just as preventative when I did my alternator since I was already in there.
Thanks for sharing. I want to buy Toyota Sienna 2012 with 198,000 mileage but the car look very neat. It was parked for sometime, now they're selling it to me, the engine is making noise. The mechanic said its top gasket that cut. Please advise
Im looking at a 2013 F150 4x4 5.0 v8, with 140k miles, if I get it, what are the first couple of things you would prioritize changing, or looking at? I feel like suspension might be one of the higher ones?? Or maybe the transfer case?? Also any thing specific i should look for when test driving??
Honestly if you have the time to make a list of what you would check and have changed if you were getting this truck, I would greatly appreciate!
Check the trans fluid, check the diff fluid, brake fluid, PS fluid if it’s not electric. Carfax will give you a history of maintenance. Remember suspension parts are relatively cheap compared to engine, trans, diff, etc.
If I change the engine to a new engine will that influence the mileage?
I have a '12 Murano with 157k miles. I get all the recommended maintenance done and have only had a few things fixed from being worn/old like the control arms and axles.
284k on 09 sonata 2.4l engine, just got new coolant and other fluids replaced, serpentine belt might be next idk maybe spark plugs, if I want to get the most out of the engine
;)what should I prioritize?
I have 2007 yaris bought it new now has 362k I changed my own oil tranny oil spark plugs etc drives like a champ
honda civic. almost 250k. she was a little worse for wear when i got her 7 months ago. 2 new tires, one repaired, full service done including oil change. new brakes front and back. brake fluid change. new stereo put in. new serpentine belt, replacement front fog light and an air box pipe that cracked.
upcoming: coolant change, replacement of broken air con pump & associated condensor.
just going to keep it going.
same engine as my old honda pilot. great motor!!!!
Quick question glad this was a TL in this video I have a 2005 accord v6 the J30A4 basically the same setup there’s oil leaking on to my front catylic converter and the exhaust manifold and you can see very light smoke what you think could cause this issue ??
You'll have to see where the oil is coming from, but I would guess the valve cover gasket. Don't take my word for it though.
294,000 and counting. Services up to date. Its looks rough, but goes like a new car. A 2004 Kia Rio 1.6 LS sedan.
Amazing bro!! Keep it up
2016 Chevy Cruze at 113000 km
Flushed Automatic Transmission Fuid
Replaced Spark Plugs
Flushed Brake Fluid
Coolant was flushed around 107k km
Around 115k km, I will be doing an engine flush using Liqui Moly and will use Liqui Moly 5W-30 as well.
Around 130k km, hope to replace my rotors and brake pads.
Hope to have no worries about major repairs in the future by keeping up😆
I appreciate you posting this about maintenance in high mileage cars. I have long been an advocate of regular maintenance throughout the life of a vehicle. My 2002 CR V has 400,000 Km or about 250,000 miles on it and I do oil and filter changes every 5000 Km or 3000 miles in Canada. Most fluids have been changed starting in 2022 with manual transmission and differential to coolant in 2023. The battery was replaced in May 2023. The only things left are brake fluid, power steering (done 3 years ago) and the serpentine belt. The spark plugs were done in Feb 22 which is an easy job but if not installed with antiseize very difficult to remove. Use copper type antiseize and NGK Laser iridium plugs which are pre-gapped. It has also had the starter and catalytic converter replaced in 2022. Seems like a lot of money but worth it. I keep a log of all services done by date, mileage, part or fluid and file the receipts or invoices separately. You might want to recommend a careful cleaning of the engine bay before starting. I would a recommend a brake cleaning and adjustment at least once a year at home or at a brake shop. The air cleaner is hard to change in the CR V but I do it at home with a Honda filter. I go by appearance of the filter for frequency. Still have to do the cabin filter. See The CAR NUT CARE GUY video for removal of leaves and debris from the cowling and cleaning of the moon roof tracks. Thanks!
Impressive
I have a 2012 Honda Accord with the 4 cyl automatic with 275K. It's been a wonderful car and plan on keeping it for many more years.
Love that!! Keep up with it because those miles are SO impressive
I have a 07' Elantra and it's at 135k. I had an egr valve go. One of my cv boots exploded. Had to replace the axle. Did the alternator when I got the timing belt replaced. I had to replace the module for the climate controls, cost 30 bucks pick and pull I just did it myself. Though I don't generally DIY the daily driver It's a very light car so the tires and breaks last a long time. I fairly regularly do fluids. Oil whenever the tag says. My mechanics tell me it runs very well.
Ones in Korea are much better than those made in USA. Here in Australia hyundai is up there obv not as good as toyota or honda or even mazda but they are a solid option if they are cheaper than those 3. U see many go over 200k miles with relative ease
TWO very simple but practical practices for older cars (and new ones too but not as critical):
When you start the car wait 20 seconds before you place it in gear giving the time needed to get all the fluids moving and performing their purposes.
If you drive in hot weather using the AC (or long distances) when you get home raise the hood of the car and allow the engine to breathe.
This gives longer life to all the hoses and plastics under the hood but do so ONLY if your car will be in the garage.
Now you see, I used to think that. Vehicles run at high temperatures for as long as you are driving it - after it's warmed up of course. After you stop the car, where exactly is the "extra" heat coming from to "damage" the plastic parts under the bonnet?
As soon as you stop your car, temperatures can only drop because the heat-producing process has stopped. I also don't understand why you suggest to do it in garages only?
If you raise the hood to allow for engine cooling outside a garage, particularly in colder environments, you will likely have a warming facility for small animals.
@@mikejohn0088 they will make their way in from underneath. Leaving a bonnet open for 15 mins or so in the environment you describe is probably useless anyway, ambient temperature will cool the engine off extremely quickly even with it closed.
Very helpful, just hit over 200,000 on my 07 accord
Thank you! And that’s an AMAZING milestone on your Honda! Keep up with the maintenance & it should last you another 200,000!!! Cheers man 🫡
I have a 2002 Acura TL type S with 221k
Its an awesome and reliable car.
Replaced rack and pinion, radiator x2 and rebulid transmission recently .
Not bad for a 23 yr old car.
Hopefully I can drive it up to 400k 🙏🏿
251k on my 2007 Accord v6, same engine as yours! Ive had it since 72k in 2011. I’ve done two radiators, break fluid flushes, three alternators, a thermostat, brakes and brakes, and more, much more….and I am still always feeling behind on what I think the car needs. Valve adjustments? New control arms and ball joints, shocks, struts? I probably should just focus on the oil leak for now. Thanks for the great videos.
I bought used 2011 Toyota Corolla with 130K miles, changed the transmission fluid and filter, engine oil change and filter... I`m planning to change the coolant, spark plug, brake pads, rotor and brake fluid soon...
268,678 and my starter just went out on my LS460. Can’t tap this one like I could back in the day on my LS400.
I have a 2008 Acura TL with 180,000 miles on it. I don't know the last time the transmission fluid was changed should I change it? I heard changing it on an old car that hasn't had the fluid changed can cause it to start slipping.
Great question! In your case, since you don’t recall ever changing the transmission fluid it may not be the best option because of potential slipping. So your 100% right!
In your case, you should check your transmission fluid every 6 months and make sure you have enough fluid to reach the minimum full line & the red color is still there!
Any more questions please feel free to ask! Thanks for the comment 💪🏽
What you’re referring to is a fluid flush, not a fluid change.
Change the fluid 3x and install new shift solenoids
Whats your take on transmisssion fluid changes . ? My old camry over 300k orig fluid so is my buddy ford van and v6 camry orig fluid over 300k 20 years . Why change it ?
Would you use 10 year old oil in your car that has been sitting on a shelf in you're garage? Of course not. I have a Chevy truck 2005 with 170,000 and a Ford car 2004 with 165,000 . I change every fluid ( brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant power steering, differentual) and brake pads every 80,000. Drive them easy most of the time. And change oil every 5,000. The only repair required was a water pump replacement in the truck at 165,000 and struts in the ford at 163,000.
For such an old car, there may be a risk of transmission failure if you now do a first time fluid change after 20 years. As no fluid lasts forever due to heat and pressure, I would take the risk and drain out only the oil in the transmission sump, and refill with genuine Toyota fluid, which is likely to be the Type IV fluid, not the WS fluid - check your owners manual for the exact fluid, and do not substitute with aftermarket. And Toyota Type IV is different to Toyota WS fluid, so use only what the manual says. A simple drain and refill will only change out 1/3 of the total fluid in the transmission as there will be lots of leftover old fluid in the torque converter and the oil cooler lines which will not drain out via the sump.
I would let the new fluid mix with the old fluid and hope for the best. At worse, you will need a new transmission eventually, and at best, this old gearbox will enjoy some freshness in the fluid and last for a long while yet.
I'd repeat the process after another 12 months, to get the fluid cleaner still and then if it's still running, chances are, it will be fine for a long time to come. I certainly would not recommend flushing the transmission so that all of the fluid is 100% fresh in one go, as it may result in transmission failure very soon after.
i changed my water pump, radiator cap (critical and often overlooked), coolant thermostat, alternator, serpentine belt at 256,000 kilometers..eventhough they worked ok.
Thank you bro for educating us all a little bit more 👌
What is that a TSX? I recognize that motor, I had one in my 6-6 Accord
Where does the blinker fluid go?
Would you recommend changing the transmission fluid on an F150 that's close to 150k? I dont know if it was ever changed.
That’s a great question! And yes I would, I’d highly recommend changing the transmission fluid at that interval. Just check online what Ford recommends but the general rule of thumb is every 100,000 miles!
@rammiq Great opinion. Thank you, sir!
I put 488K miles on my 78 Toyota Corolla.
Correct, maintenance is key. Be proactive rather than reactive. I have a 2007 Mitsubishi Galant 2.4L. ORIGINAL engine and transaxle. I purchased it with 57,345 miles in 2009. Today, November 3rd 2023 it has 296,911 miles on the clock. It runs perfect. It has NO leaks of any kind. The engine idles as quiet as a church mouse. No noise of ANY kind. It DOSEN'T BURN a drop of oil. Transaxle runs and shifts perfectly. My maintenance routine is:
1).oil change: every 2 months or 2,000 miles.(Castrol Full Synthetic Extended Performance 5w20).
2).Transaxle drain and fill every 15,000 miles.
3). Coolant flush and NEW thermostat every 2 years.
4). Flush power steering system 15,000 miles.
5).Flush the brake system every 2 years.
6). Replace engine and cabin air filters as needed.
7). Rotate tires every other oil change( 4,000 miles).
8). Replace plugs AND coils every 80,00 miles(NGK Iridium plugs and coils).
9). New timing belt,balance shaft belt,crankshaft and camshaft seals, timing belt tensioner and idler pulleys,water pump(which is driven by the timing belt) every 80,000 miles.
10).fuel injection/air induction system cleaning every 6 months. I'm an ASE master certified mechanic. I perform all my own maintenance. However IF you take care of your car,your car will take care of you.
Bro you got a Mitsubishi to 300,000 miles! Yes, you definitely know what you’re doing
1) Yes. 2) to 4) No,every 4yrs 6) Yes. 7) Mmm,yeah 8) Yeah,fair enough. 9) Yeah,i agree. 10) OVERKILL 🙆 2yrs. I look after my car 2015 Yaris fairly well even at 100,000m,only do 5,000m a year & change my oil every 6 months,last year i did my CVT fluid twice as it takes 2.2L each drain,the fluid came in a 5L bottle at £72. Will do others every 4yrs like my old Yaris as i'll explained here ......Had a 2002 1.3L Yaris 1.3L 4sp auto in 2008 (Had 65,000m when i got it & 90,000m when i sold it on to a friend) here in the UK for nearly 15yrs, changed the oil on that yearly at 5,000m, did P/S,coolant (Prestone) ,plugs,air filter every 4 yrs. Brake fluid just the once 10yrs in when i had it about 2017. Did spray underneath everywhere front to back 3x yearly with WD40, many of these Yaris's goes to car heaven with rust in the UK. Rear beam in great cond. only failed it's MOT (Yearly inspection) TWICE & that's on wiper blades/windshield wiper blades. MOT means Ministry of Transport here. It's an overkill for your coolant & thermostat.
I wish you were in PA my Mitsubishi needs help
Different cars have different maintenance requirements. Everybody should refer to the owners manual for recommendations about your specific car. Almost no car needs an oil change, “every couple of months.” Doing it that often would be wasteful, unless you are driving a LOT of miles. And I suggest you polish those yellowed headlights to ensure that you have adequate illumination to drive safely at night.
Change oil roughly every 6 months dude, stop acting like you know it all.
@@thegreat9481 You are the one presenting yourself on RUclips as an authority on the subject, and your flippant recommendation about when to change oil is just plain wrong. Six months is not right either; it may be more or less than that depending upon mileage driven, the type of driving and other factors. You are absolutely right that I don’t know it all, and I apologize if my comment came across that way.

Can you do drive a high mileage car if we're going to move to another state?
It’s all going to depend on how well maintained your vehicle is!!
Have you serviced it enough to have confidence in its reliability?
Are the major components still working normally?
How many miles & how old is the vehicle?
How far is your trip from state to state?
Lots of questions need to be answered before you go on our voyage! Only you will have confidence in your car before doing this trip!

How many miles should a 2019 chevy equinox should go ?
The average US driver drives 15,000 miles a year. So on that math, it should be around 60k. But still 100k isn’t bad! I just use that math whenever I gauge a card ago to mileage
I am way over my millage for a 2019
What maintenance should I do on a 302,000 mile honda civic?
A Honda Civic can last for many miles if it is properly maintained throughout the years!
However, at 302,000 miles, your Honda Civic is likely to have undergone most of its regular maintenance and service. It is recommended that you continue to follow the regular maintenance schedule for your Honda Civic, which includes oil changes and tire rotation every 7,500 miles 2. Additionally, the braking
system and other replacements should happen every 30,000 miles and transmission fluid replacement should happen every 60,000 miles. It is also a good idea to have your vehicle inspected by a mechanic to ensure that all components are in good working order. You may also want to consider finding and using a Honda service center!! Hope this helps
Timing belt?
I buy new and do very little maintenance. I dump them at 10 years old and 250k miles and never have any major issues. I only have to change tires, brakes, wipers, air filters, oil filter, and oil. At 250k miles cars become unsafe as the body starts breaking down, suspension is wearing out, the drivers seat starts falling apart, the seat belts wear out, and the air bags stop working correctly.
Right on🎉✊🏽
Very smart choice bought lots of used cars yes things wear out. Bought a cheap new car and did fluid changes on everything right away . Drove it everywhere 308k miles no big repairs only normal stuff tires brakes struts shocks battery o2 sensor. They say only about 23% of cars are taken care of .. Car might look great but it don't mean anything. Used cars end up being quite expensive sometimes. Buying new is better way to go. Is much cheaper in long run.
@@halaheleu7013 It’s still cheaper to drive older cars. But the incremental savings aren’t worth it to me.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q it's cheap and economical to buy used cars ( out of warranty) if one know how to fix it ,like me am a mechanic so buying used cars is very convenient and great deal for me.
That's a good summary and I believe accurate.
Got 205k miles on my 2004 Honda Accord v6, she runs like brand new & she still gapping everybody 😂💪
Just did the 100k Mile Maintenance on my 97 Lexus LS400. It has 333,000 miles on it and it runs and handles amazing. (Did redo suspension myself 30k ago)
Save so much money doing the work yourself.
Beside changing all kind of fluids check for MAP MAF EGR VALVE VVT SYTEM should be cleaned or replaced with new one your vehicle will love you when you have new sensors . Power will come back in engine
my 2009 honda accord 2.2 i-dtec 221HP remapped has 298,000 miles now.
*So when do you replace your blinker fluid?* 🤔
Video coming soon 👀👀

Be careful when servicing it past 100k miles. You can possibly make the transmission slip. If you have a car with less than 100k miles, I would recommend doing it. I’m about to lose the transmission on my Jetta due to lack of service history.
221k on my 2012 Subaru Legacy. Watching this video as I’m taking it into the shop tomorrow for preventative maintenance.
Absolutely incredible my man! Keep it up!! That’s an amazing milage number!
96k, 110k, 130k, and 194k all regularly maintained
221k on my 06 Accord Baby! :)
Incredible!!!
My Toyota corolla is now 104kmiles, yr 2012. Never had any maintenance except oil change
Absolutely incredible 👏🏽👏🏽 that thing still has 300,000 more miles to go, easy!!!
That's a low mileage toyota, but it does not mean that it does not need maintenance. I would change these fluids: radiator coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, the spark plugs need changing. Water pumps usually go bad because of not changing the coolant. Oil changes should be every 5k miles or 6 months. I would highly direct you to the car care nut channel. He is a toyota master mechanic that gives great tips and information. If you want your toyota to last, i would check that channel out. I have a 2013 highlander with 130k miles and all those fluids have been changed and still running like new. Good luck. 👍
@@saulreynoso4371 how long should I change the oil if I use synthetic oil?
Among the line up of the fluids that needed to be changed, which one is the priority as I could not afford to do all the fluids at once?
Thank you for taking time to respond to my questions.
@HOOKEY POOH2 HI there. I change my oil every 5k miles or 6 months, and I use synthetic oil. I feel that oil is a lot cheaper than an engine. In the car care nut channel, he had to change the short block (the bottom part of the engine with the pistons) of a 15 camry with 170k miles because it was burning a lot of oil. And the oil was changed every 10k miles, as per the manufacturers recommendations. That is why I do 5k mile oil changes. Somewhat cheap insurance. But for your car, I would probably do the coolant. It's a very easy job that you can do at home. All you would need is probably 2 gallons of coolant (get them from toyota pls) drain it and fill it up. I am sure u can find a lot of videos on how to do it. Then, I would do the transmission fluid. Probably the same process as the coolant. Drain it and fill it up. And again, pls buy toyota transmission fluid. Hope this helps. 😊
@@saulreynoso4371 thank you so much for taking time to responds. It helps a lot for people like me who doesn’t know much about car care. I will recommend you to my daughters to tune in to your website. I will be asking you more later. I got to do my fluids. TTYL
I had a 95 Volvo 940 with 470k miles on it. Nobody could believe it.
You forgot to say most newer cars don't even have dipsticks
2007 Honda Accord V6 with 46,300 thank you for your nice video. 😊😊😊
Mileage and coolant does not correlate. Coolant can be tested with a tester. Definitely don’t wait until 100k miles. Also oil does not need changing every few months. Plenty of scientific vlogs on here on oil performance. I have never changed power steering fluid and a Quick Look at brake fluid is a reason to change. Belts need changing and incorrect tension will wreck an alternator. Why are 100 or 200the markers? Just maintain it.
High quality synthetic and 5-6K or 1 year, whichever comes first. Car wont die because of oil related issues. Dumping oil every 3-4 months is a waste..
For a high mileage Honda, spend the $ and get a Valve Adjustment
What happens if you don’t get a valve adjustment?
@@discipline3318some times the valves with tighten or loosen and it will cause rough idle and can overheat as well. Overall it is needed to help the engine run efficiently at peak
Hmm!...I drive an 07 acura RL 140k owner's manual states, adjust valves only if engine is noisy (ticking) at idle!
Or just have em' adjusted at next timing belt change!
How much did you spend on it please must reply
@@saimasarwat3925 are you in the U.S?
I got a 2006 dodge Magnum nearing 230k
running on 230k miles on my 2011 3.7L mustang
Some cars didn't have a transmission dipstick at all.
230,000km that is an equivalent of 140,000miles. Toyota Mark X with a 2.5l 4GR-FSE
I'm no mechanic, but it seems to me that if your coolant is bad and your engine is getting too hot, that would show up on your temp gauges.
If my gauge says it's good, it's good. I ain't wasting no money on no damn fluid cuz a guy on RUclips says so
Son, is that a Komboskini i see.
Maybeeee 👀👀👀👀

Absolutely insane man! Keep going strong 💪🏽
Manual or Automatic?
Your timing belt is 100% a extreme concern in maintaining. If it break in the wrong engine you're done!
Clean those headlights
My man. We are working on it 😂😂

410000 miles. what else can I do. I am going to 600000
2009 Ford Focus - 280,000. full synthetic oil change every 5,000 miles
Amazing mileage for your Ford!! Approaching 300,000!!
@@rammiq Yes, bought a brand new off the lot. It's a dealership.
Religiously change the oil every 5000 or less. Anything that needed to be repaired I repaired ASAP
Sorry talking into a microphone saw I butchered my message
I bought a brand new off the lot at the Ford dealership in 2009.
264k on my 2004 Trailblazer.
Tires after 5 years regardless of mileage, if u want to roll smoothly and be safe.
