As a diehard Toyota guy I'm positive that the reason we Honda and Toyota owners are more responsible as far as maintenance is concerned is because we buy these cars specifically for their reliability and longevity. Therefore, we are going to do our part to make them last. If we weren't planning on keeping our cars for as long as possible, we wouldn't bother buying brands known for lasting up to 300,000 miles or more with minimal issues.

@alohamark3025 Год назад

My own personal experience is that a sloppy driver can kill a Toyota faster than a Honda. Case in point: the stepdaughter in the family ruined her Toyota Camry by allowing the engine to seize without enough oil. She is about to destroy her RAV4 by driving it around with engine maintenance lights blinking like a Christmas tree. Even though I am far more careful in maintaining cars than the women in my family, I did own a Civic 4WD wagon that needed a head gasket. It could not tolerate five hours in a typical east coast traffic jam. What makes a person choose a Honda over a Toyota, or vice versa? I'd say it is the handling. Steering is more responsive on most Hondas. Honda has been a F1 constructor champion, while Toyota has shied away from most top level competitions. Nevertheless, as people age, the reliability of a car ascends in importance, making Toyota a good choice for conservative drivers.

When I purchase my 05 Sienna last year the previous owner said the A/C didn't work but that he didn't know why. That made me wonder if it needed a new compressor but he just didn't want to tell me because of the costly repair? Anyway, I was determined to figure out why the A/C wasn't working. Watched youtube videos, purchased manifold gauges & some dye. I found two leaks. The High and Low shrader valves needed replaced & Auto Zone gave me two for free. Charged it up and it's holding pressure & blowing cold. This 70 year old gal is feeling pretty accomplished. I learned a lot, had fun & saved $$. We own 4 Toyota's currently. Just sold an 07 FJ Cruiser. Loved the car but just didn't drive it much and had too many vehicles: The other Toyota's: 91 T100 pick up, 05 Sienna van, 07 Toyota Yaris & 08 Prius. Love them all!

Staying up to date on your PMs is imperative! Especially the PMs involving fluids. I have a 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser that recently hit 420k miles. I do my fluids at half intervals (I.g. center transfer case, front and rear diffs every 30k miles vs 60k miles). My biggest repairs or maintenance occurs around the 90k and 100k-mile mark. Recently I’ve been doing a lot more repairs due to age and mileage. These parts are original factory parts and were the first time they had to be replaced: fuel pump, head gasket, starter coils, alternator, catalytic converter,all hoses, heater T’s, and a few other items.

I would think the reason Honda and Toyota owners are more knowledgeable about maintinence is because if someone cared about it enough about reliability to research it and factor it into purchasing decisions they are going to come out with those two brands as their primary choices. It’s a positive feedback loop that building a reliable car will attract the people willing to invest time and money to keep a car reliable.

I have a German background and grew up in German vehicles because my family were proud Germans. After owning several German cars, VW and BMW, I just got fed up with there lack of reliability. I ended up switching to toyota/lexus and have been so happy ever since. One of my main reason with going with toyota over honda was because most of the new toyota's have their 4ds system which solves the carbon build up issues. This was a big issue with the German cars I've owned. I just don't trust an engine that can't clean itself with regular maintenance.

Great video. I truly believe older Toyotas and Hondas were overall more reliable. I also believe the new maintenance intervals are making newer Hondas and Toyotas look worse than they are.

@paullinkins8121 Год назад

Something about the statistics he provided: none of it specifies the frequency of repairs. He only stated the cost of each repair. One brand having a lot fewer repairs per vehicle could make their total cost of repairs much lower (or if they are bad then much higher). He also stated that the Ford and Chevy AROs were for trucks -- you should not compare cost of repairing trucks against the overall fleet of Hondas and Toyotas. He stated this in the video. We could assume, for example, that because trucks are physically larger with more powerful engines they have a larger ARO than a typical vehicle.

@Hodenkat Год назад

A few Honda dealers in my area love to do what I call "clip-boarding". With under 50K miles, you bring it to them for an oil change and tire rotation, but while you're in the waiting area they come strolling up to you holding a clip-board and rattle off $1400 worth of things "the manufacturer recommends having done" at your specific mileage. It sometimes has me thinking that they price the jobs so by the time you reach 100K miles you're looking at replacements that will cost as much as a down payment on a new vehicle.

With fully synthetic oil not breaking down like the old oils, therefore in theory retaining viscosity, how come engines are wearing ou faster? Is it because of reving higher or weaker components perhaps? Have read that if oil is replaced every 5000 miles instead of say 10,000 to 12,000 miles engine will last double the miles going from an average of 150k to 300k. Have you experience of customers who carry out this practice and if so what conclusions have you come to? Interested to know...

No turbocharger to cause issues in the future, D4S instead of DI only which should keep the intake valves much cleaner and Honda was having considerable issues with oil dilution and things on the newer high compression small displacement engines. The Toyo also had a conventional AT which is well proven. Just do some googling and you will see what I mean. Anyway absolutely love the Toyota. Hope Honda gets it back together in the future.
