Episode notes
What does it take to drive a vehicle beyond 600,000 kilometres ? In today's Motormouth Morning Drive, I share a conversation with my friend Steve, whose 2010 Toyota 4Runner has reached an incredible 644,000km. His advice is simple: change every fluid on schedule - even when someone tells you it doesn't need it.
We'll discuss why engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and differential oils all have an important job to do, why heat causes fluids to break down over time, and why replacing inexpensive fluids is far cheaper than replacing the expensive components they protect.
If you want your vehicle to last longer, perform better and avoid costly repairs, this episode is for you.
