Love that Japanese quality keep up the good work brother.

[@akseli9]

Wow congrats!

[@guillermoortiz1492]

im really hopefull my 21 avalon makes it this far

[@josebetancourt6064]

Change the Transmission fluid every 33,000 miles engine oil every 4,000 and will last. Brake fluid 50,000 , antifreeze ever 5 years.

[@ElleyElley-et4ky]

Fantastic but doesn't surprise me at all..I've worked the tools since 1986, owned many Toyota / Lexus since 2000, all been amazing cars with no faults other than regular maintenance

[@BMan100]

If you take care of things..they will last.

[@ElleyElley-et4ky]

To a degree. Some products will fail regardless of how careful you are, I've worked the tools since 1986, believe me, literally 99% of other cars will not last this long regardless of good maintenance

[@1976axerhand]

I hope my 23 gas model last that long.

[@Fennec1919]

Because it is made in Japon

[@4.6lexus83]

💯

[@heatherschandera8403]

can you get a scanner and plug it into car and tell us how much hybrid battery is left percentage of degradation after 500k miles

[@Michaellrhodes]

Not sure if that is a parameter, I'll have to research that.

[@SystemHacker23]

5 years? That's an average of ~270 miles a day. How is that possible?

[@thisyoutubechannel3107]

Very possible. I lived in the Midwest and drove 200 miles a day commuting to my job. I had 3 different cars to spread to load of the mileage. Wouldn't recommend it! Invest in subwoofers or atleast a good sound system. The days get very long!!!

[@Michaellrhodes]

700 miles a day I’ll do a video on it it this week

@@livingwithnature-3176 Deliveries, I pick up from the client and take the package to its destination.

[@saulmunoz3731]

This is with Li-Ion battery? Do you know what is battery SOH % at the moment?

[@stayphun6188]

I'd be curious as well

[@akseli9]

It's probably the same Corolla mod.2019 as in Europe so it's NiMH battery.

[@jonathanratliff4780]

@@akseli9 Yes they did not switch to lithium-ion until the 2023 model year with the GEN five hybrid system

What was this Corolla used for to accumulate the mileage?

[@Michaellrhodes]

Deliveries from Manhattan, New York to Virginia five days a week about 700 miles a day

[@indridcold4210]

Can you tell us the average mileage interval for oil changes, what brand oil/filter, ect. you used? I have placed a deposit on a 2025 model of this same car that should be arriving at the dealership sometime in Jan. and I think the engine is exactly the same as your car.

[@Michaellrhodes]

I’ll do a video this week on it

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Engine is the same but yours will have the generation five hybrid system his is gen 4

[@RedCard-007]

What's your opinion about toyota's 1.5 hybrid engine? It's reliable? I have this engine🙊 Thank you!😊

[@Michaellrhodes]

I believe the 1.5 is in the Yaris. I have no experience with them, but I would speculate they are just as good as the 1.8 in the Corolla. I do know they get better, gas mileage, smaller engine, lighter car. Should get around 60 something miles per gallon in the Yaris 1.5 L engine.

[@RedCard-007]

@@Michaellrhodes yaris, yes! Thank you for your answer! Greetings from Romania! Lord Jesus bless and protect you! He is God manifested in flesh 2024 years ago! Please trust in Him! 🤗👋

[@HenssnesyDanis]

Why the engine on but it doesnt charge the battery?

[@Michaellrhodes]

Battery does not need to continually charge once it reaches a certain charge level

[@Goodnightandgoodluck-c7m]

what year is the car?

[@Michaellrhodes]

2020

[@kevinfernando3167]

They should’ve made a PHEV Corolla

[@kevinfernando3167]

When will you get an all electric vehicle?

[@ElleyElley-et4ky]

Hen hell freezes over 😂. Electric car con. Environmental? Producing a full Electric car is 70% worse than a regular gas car. They weigh way more causing more issues for the roads. Until solid state batteries are up and running and tested i ain't buying. UK i live, infrastructure is awful. Way behind

[@Michaellrhodes]

I’m weighing the overall cost and whether it’s worth it, there’s a higher upfront cost for electric cars.

[@mattmurtagh6091]

The petrol mpg should be way higher.

[@connorPiper0]

EPA rating is 48 combined for AWD and 50 combined for FWD. So this is pretty spot on.
