200,000 Mile Club

[usbseawolf2000]

With overwhelming numbers of Priuses reaching 100,000 miles, I thought it is time to do a 200,000 mile club.

My 2006 Prius (purchase on May 2006) has not make 100,000 miles yet (approaching 85k miles now). At this rate, it should reach 100k around the third anniversary.

For those that reached 200,000 miles, please post information about your ownership experience. Some questions to think of...

1) Did you replace the HV battery pack?
2) Did you replace the 12v lead-acid battery?
3) Did you replace the hybrid transaxle fluid?
4) Did you replace the brake pads?
5) Your lifetime MPG (if available)?
6) How often do you change your oil? What brand / product did you use?
7) How about post a picture of 200,000 miles on ODO?

200,000 miles is no big deal for a Toyota. If a Ford hits that mileage Henry sends a letter of congratulations I hear. I also hear he is still using the same pen to write those letters.
I don't get the paranoia regarding the battery, question 1.
I doubt too many lead acid batteries will last much longer than 5 years regardless of mileage and make or model of vehicle. Failure at less than 3 years is normally through neglect or carelessness. Sometimes people claim a longer life because they forgot changing it.

I can't post for him but I can congratulate an ocassional poster herein, Carbot, for reaching 220,000 miles on the 5th birthday of his '04.

I'll ask him to post his experiences when he finally dismounts..

Its not my Prius, but had to go and pick up a Tv so had to take my truck. On the way home it turned over 600,000 miles so I pulled over on the interstate and took a few pics .. I have had the truck for 14 years and drove it everyday until I got my Prius to and from work .I only drive it once a week now(on trash day) and when ever I need to pick something up . Its a Toyota truck with a 5-speed and the 22re motor I have changed oil every 10,000 miles and it still runs great.. I hope to make it to 700,000..

What a machine! What year /model Toyota truck?

Speaking of old Toyotas my 35+ year old Corolla is still running, but only has a mere 250K miles. A real low mileage creampuff.

What year /model Toyota truck?

Its a 1992 Toyota extra cab truck.. Here is a pic of it..

What kind of maintenances or repairs you had on the engine and transmission?

Sandman that Hilux is a credit to you and Toyota. That is a beautifully kept ute even if it had just half the miles..

Its the original 4cyl motor and transmission.. I have never had to do any work to either. I have had to replace the clutch twice at 270,000 and at 520,000.. I also had to replace a fuel injector at about 500,000 and little stuff like water pump, hoses and alternator . Still has the original starter on it.. My AC quit on me last year,and its the compressor don't know if I will fix that or not. I hope I can get that many miles out of my Prius.. People always ask me what type of oil I use in it.. I have always put just 10W-30 Pennsoil in it..It gets about 27MPG and if I hypermile it can get about 30MPG with it..
