    Hey brother, you have to get this Corolla to 500K. Half a million miles on a Corolla Hybrid might just get Toyota's attention. 👍

    • @vinn283
      @vinn283 Місяць тому +20

      It won’t lol. The only thing that will get their attention is the number of sales for each car. They just look at which models give them the most sales. The higher the number sold, the better potential it has to be kept in the line up. That said 500k on a modern Corolla is great. Most people don’t make it to this high mileage because they aren’t properly taking care of their vehicles.

      Though it might be a milestone - plenty of toyota hybrids get to half a million miles - they're called cabs. Most of them get the battery packs replaced though since cabs don't live an easy life nor typically treated right.

    Hi from Australia. Have owned three Toyota Prius. A ‘2003 gen 2,2010 gen 3 and my current Prius is a 2017 gen 4. Our service interval is 6 months or 6000 miles whichever comes first. Had the fuel pump filter replaced a couple of months ago, and air filter plus oil change and filter. Only one 12volt battery replaced after load testing. Seven years later only a set of tyres with another set coming up. Absolute 100% reliable. Don’t skimp on oil changes and it will repay you tenfold. The economy has continued to improve now sitting on 50 us mpg. Cheers.

    I have priua Gen 2.. bought it from a friend with 50k km, not it has over 350k km on original battery and engine...what i have always been doing with it is .. i have installed after market android head unit(radio) and installed hybrid assist app to control battery temperature not to exceed35°c.. so with this app i have set it that anytime i turn on the car the installed app in the head unit will connect with Bluetooth obd2 device which is always connected via obd2 port. So this app keep regulating the battery temperature proactively by making sure the temperature is not exceeding the set limit.
    Therefore because of that my battey has been always healthy..ie it still has low voltage difference between cells (0.03v to 0.05v), at has 0.00% delta SOC...the internal resistance of battery modules are still low which indicates that the battery is less suffering from thermo stress.
    Note. (For some of us living in hot climate, temperature is the number one killer of these hybrids high voltage battteries.

Before I change oil I also use a fuel system cleaner additive in the gas tank, and when I change oil I always add Liqui Moly MoS2 anti friction additive every time.

Then you have service agents in countries that have fixed price services that don't use what's on the oil cap (0w-16) and ignore that statement in the manual and instead use typically the cheapest out of the 3 recommended like the 5w-30 and off course not fully synthetic as that adds to there fixed price cost. Their engines typically have a 7 year warranty and using any of the recommend oil in the list doesn't invalidate the warranty or make the engine fail sooner. Just slightly less fuel economy and in harsher environments/usage conditions a 5w-30 oil will provide better engine protection than 0w-16.

      @@noname-yb5jt As said read the manual as you will likely see a range of 3 oil weights listed. Saying 5w-30 is too thick and could starve the engine is ridiculous. Cold climates subject to freezing temps go for the lower weight, hotter climates that summer temps with roads over 40c and car under load can see that 0W-16 & 0W-20 oil failing to protect the engine. The first two are designed for best Fuel Economy/Efficiency, I pick engine longevity every time unless of course you intend to churn your car every few years and make it somebody else's problem.

    Is it necessary to have the idle set so high? I do think Hybrids may be the real future. I had a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid, got great mileage, loved the car, but moved out of the country and my family did not start the car for a year. Killed the battery ((((

      A lot of these newer cars do that, my Subaru when I first start it up stays at 1900 Rpms until the blue temp light goes out normally. they say it lowers the emmisons to have the cat converter up to temp quick. It makes me cringe every time when I start it first time. Once its warm it starts normally.

    Yo creo que mi Corolla que es como el del vídeo salvo con el morro diferente, aguantará menos sin averías porque le hago menos km diarios (14 km de ida al trabajo, 15 de vuelta) más trayectos cortos de no más de 5 km. Este tipo de uso no es que sea muy bueno para el coche, las cosas como son.
    Eso sí, adelanto unos km los mantenimientos, pero no creo que sea suficiente

      Nope. The hybrid battery is air cooled with the fan he showed under the rear bench.
      The electric water pump he showed is for the engine coolant circuit which also heats the cabin. There is a second coolant circuit which cools the inverter (basically converting the high voltage to go to the electric motors or the HV battery).
