    I’m currently at 125,000 on my 21 6cyl xse without any issues. Haven’t even done breaks and I was told they’re still good on my last oil change. Can’t wait to make 300K as well

    Dude massive respect for you making these videos. I have a 2020 pearl white XSE 4cyl that I’ve done some basic modding to (cool air intake, muffler deletes, strut bar, etc) and I too put a ridiculous amount on mine. So these videos have brought me a little peace of mind to the longevity. Keep em coming boss and I look forward to 400k on up to a milli!

      Those mods will only shorten the life of your engine. The Camry 4cyl is not a race car, it's a get around town, grocery getter. For people thinking of modifying their 4cyl Camry, don't do it. These engines are made for longevity, not to race. Any racing mods will just put strain on it. Oh and change your oil every 5k, regardless of what the dealer tells you.

    I bought a 2018 Lexus ES350 about 7 months ago. It has 25k miles. I’ve changed out the coolant and transmission fluid. I’m looking forward to many years of ownership. Please don’t forget to change coolant every 5 years or so…it gets really acidic and will destroy pretty much everything. Our son has an ‘08 ES350 and my wife drives an ‘18 IS300 AWD and we love them. New subscriber and look forward to more videos.

    Congratulations on 300k. I was wondering about how expensive the lyft accident was. Did you have to pay $2,500 deductible and much down time no driving or did you rent to drive?
    I just got a 2024 LE and uber on weekends will do ~33k miles per year. I worried about the softex leather and more expensive tires on the SE. I also heard that thise tires/wheels are more easily damaged. I just have black fabric interior so im trying out a seat cover when i drive saturday nights. I was really torn between SE & LE. I also never drove SE and wondered if it felt nearly as smooth a ride as LE. If i ever get another camry ill probably get an SE now that I see how well your interior has held up.

    • @stevenfedorov
      @stevenfedorov  8 місяців тому +4

      Well, my accident happened in a way that Lyft didn’t know. I didn’t report anything so I payed for it out of pocket. My insurance wouldn’t cover the transmission accident. I didn’t drive when the car was in the shop for a week.
      I have tried the LE before when I got T boned the first year of ownership and I would say that the LE is way more comfortable with the cloth seats and softer suspension. That accident was the other guys fault and his insurance covered the incident and I got a rental which was the LE Camry.

Oxygen Sensors? Check Engine lights? etc.

      Basically what he says is WS fluid needs to be changed every 60k or 6 years. Also he says the EARLIEST you should change WS fluid is 30k miles. That’s where I got the interval 30k-60k miles.

    In the end if you are doing Uber an Lyft then it's best to change the oil 3k-5k. 10k works for people who are doing highway driving primarily. Because you're doing stop and go traffic a lot it's better to change it more often than not, especially if your trying to reach a mil on miles.

    The exterior appears to be well-kept compared to the interior. Then again, with all those customers - people - and family members in and out you can expect a lot of wear and tear to the interior. Yeah! CVT replaced after 200K miles ... acceptable but costly. [$3,000 +] Just 1 wheel bearing ..should replace both sides at the same time. [$600 for both] Probably on the 6th set of above-average quality tires [$5,400]. Alternator + Belt [$600], Brakes [$2,500] Oil Changes x 32, Trans Flush x 2, Coolant Flush x2, and Air Filters x 16, [$2,500]. That is like $15K to keep the Camry up and running. I would worry about the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, catalytic converters, emission, and exhaust system ... time for a new car. Last! CONGRATULATIONS Steven on being a safe driver and still having a functional Camry.

    • @stevenfedorov
      @stevenfedorov  8 місяців тому +7

      Thanks! The exterior has rock chips on the front. You can’t see it in the video but it’s there. Also a used alternator is only $142 minus $35 core charge. Brand new one cost $400.
      Tires would cost about $200+ at discount tire but you can buy tires on Amazon/eBay for cheaper and just as good quality. Also, a good local shop will install it for you for only $20/tire. Not too expensive if you know the right people and places to shop at.
      I have a KnN engine filter that I don’t have to replace and I only replaced the cabin air filter like 2x in its life 😂
      Also, this is a regular automatic transmission, not CVT. This is not a Hybrid.
      As far as wheel bearing, yes I agree. I should have replaced both and probably should have got OEM ones. I’m trying to keep cost down because everything is expensive. Life is expensive lol.
      I did make it a goal to hit 1 million miles, with God’s help, I will stick to it. Considering getting a spare car along the way just in case this one fails on me.
