Avoid: Free forums with "one weird trick" videos. A top manual is an investment. A blown engine is a liability.

The glovebox manual tells you when to change oil (every 5,000 miles) and what grade (5W-30). The 1SZ-FE Engine Manual Top tells you why the oil pump relief valve opens at 4.5 bar, or how to measure crankshaft end play (0.02–0.22 mm). If you plan to keep your Yaris or Vitz for 200,000+ miles, the repair manual is your bible. Avoid: Free forums with "one weird trick" videos
