I love the Bosch Icon wipers on my Camry. They wipe *so* clear, they're absolutely unbeatable in the rain, but they aren't the best in ice.
Reviews of spare parts for Toyota
My co workers wife had a high mileage Sienna 3.0. Oil leaking from every seal. We started using Castrol high mileage, it stopped leaving spots in his driveway and quit loosing 1.5 qrts between oil changes.
The AS+3s while decent in the snow, are very quiet and smooth, they just soak up mile after mile and have great wet and dry traction.
For oil, if you are changing your oil earlier than the OEM recommended oil change interval of 10k mi / 12 mo, then feel free to use the cheapest GF-6B API-SP certified oil of whatever type it says on your oil cap, along with a Toyota OEM filter, which is almost always cheapest to buy at the dealership's parts counter.
I’m satisfied with the Goodyears I have. Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 tires I use on my Prius in the summer and in the winter I run the Goodyear ultra grip ice wrt. Which is not bad for the price.
My 2006 Prius's original battery went to 150,000 miles before needing replacement.
I have put 50k+ miles on my 09 Highlander Hybrid in the last 2 years. It charges to 76% and provides 27-30mpg depending on conditions. I love it.
My old prius was 16 years old and 370.000km battery was fine
Replaced the heads and head gaskets, exhaust manifolds, timing belt water pump thermostat radiator fuel injectors spark plugs and wires and distributor cap and rotor but the new rotor broke and i put my old one back on.
My 1 year, \~6K miles Aisin WPT-108 pump failure story:
I have a 4A-FE Corolla E11. Changed timing belt, auxiliary belts, tensioner+spring, the whole lot last summer. The waterpump (Aisin WPT-108) was from a reputable online shop here in Europe (Autodoc). Last week I come to find the new pump dripping from the lower weep hole, so its the whole timing belt job all over again pretty much. No wierd bearing sounds. I did 6K miles last year if that.
