Toyota parts reviews

I run the extended performance Mobil 1 in my Toyotas at 15k mile intervals, with an oil filter change every 5k miles.

This is what mine looked like after being changed at a little over 200k miles.

I've heard some awesome things about the continental extreme contact tire in snowy conditions.

Our '11 Yaris came with the almost universally-hated Bridgestone RE92s. At 18k miles/two years we were ready to replace them since we were getting lots of ABS and traction control action (wheelspin galore) on wet roads as well as occasional stability control intervention during quick-ish maneuvers in normal driving. Since this is my wife's car, I put a priority on traction, excellent braking and grip on wet roads and quietness/smooth ride over outright handling (she's a calm driver) -- so I had a set of Defenders put on her car today while Costco is having $70 off a set this month. They are really excellent and have transformed the car. Before, with the Bridgestones, it was difficult to carry on a conversation, especially with anyone in the back seat. Now, you can do it -- there's more engine and wind noise than road noise (previously it was the opposite). Minor impacts like potholes and reflectors are much less noticeable, too. Handling is just adequate since it's a standard touring tire, but steering response is decent (but not super quick, either) and there's a lot of ultimate grip there (definitely not all roly-poly). Braking seems much better, too. I stomped the brakes going down a bumpy hill leaving my neighborhood (ABS would always go off in this spot with the old tires) and the car just stopped without any drama, which was refreshing. Give them a shot if you're looking for a competent, quiet, smooth tire that lasts a long time (90k warranty!) if you have a vehicle in your household that doesn't require a sporty tire.

my Yaris came with H-rated Goodyear Assurance FuelMax tires. They aren't terribly sporty but the handling is competent, they're very quiet, ride well, do well in the wet and -- despite my best efforts -- seem to be very slow wearing. The car also gets 3-4 more MPG than our '11 Yaris which has an identical powertrain but normal tires (horrible Bridgestone RE92s).

Highly recommend Bridgestone ecopia tires had 2 sets on the Prius lasted 60k each,handled well,and gave good efficiency

Wix. In 2003 Corolla and 2006 Rav4 + cheapest synthetic oil on sale every 5000km. Engine runs smoother. So smooth it feels like I can coast and maintain speed a lot of times. Which doesn't happen in my Subaru Outback with OEM filter and Mobil1 synthetic.

I have the Hankook iPikes on my Prius and am very happy with them. I've run Michelin Arctic Alpins, Cooper Weathermasters (twice), Firestone Winterforce, Gislaved, and Nokian Haka2's. Each had very minor pros and cons but honestly I didn't find much of a real difference between any of them including the Hakka's which cost twice what the others costs.

A few days ago I put Bosch Excel+ on my sister's 2006 Corolla and they were like 13 bucks each. It was $30 including tax for both of them.

I go for the best, Optima Yellow Top group size 35 from Johnson Controls. I have owned them before, loved their batteries, a lot of In car Electronics, lights, Sound systems. I prefer Optima Yellow Tops. I installed the new battery, idle issue went away instantly. Driving home that night from work, fire started shooting out from under the hood scoop. Both the fire department and insurance company stated the fire started from the acid in the battery, originating from a single point on the battery. Wiring harness and vacuum lines were toast. Insurance company declared it a total loss.
