I send my Vios for service at Toyota SC and the staff said time to change my stock maintanence free battery after he heard some cranking sound when switching on the engine. Later he uses an electronic device to check the battery and the indicator show as "Replace Battery"

But my car only 1.5 years new and I have not encountered any sign of needing to turn the ignition more than 2 times to start my engine.

How often you guys change your car battery ?

Mine same like yours...2nd gen with FB battery. After changing to new battery, I could feel better performance and engine smoother.

Better get a spare 1st, if not it will be very troublesome.

Currently at the Toyota SC and they told me that replacing the spark plugs outside could very well void the warranty if there are any knocking issues. So I asked them how much are the iridium plugs and they quoted me RM79 each so for a Vios I would need 4, will be above RM300. sweat.gif
*
Which SC you are in now? Cause last couple of weeks ago, the SC that I've been do not recommended to use iridium plugs and claimed that it is for camry use, funny right

currently using denso iridium, acceleration & power definitely improve, better lifespan for the plugs which u will only change it max every 100,000km & save up your $  rclxms.gif

Better change outside as sc will be more ex le...BUT nowadays there was a lot imitation in the market so be kful when buying it  nod.gif

Philips xtreme power is 3400k
PIAA Xtreme force is 3800k
both also yellowish, lower K, more yellowish smile.gif
i think installation the same, plug and play H4...
*
a forumer who is selling Philips Xtreme Vision told me that
PXV is 2500k only, I think it is very yellowish just like those common one
Most probably i am getting this if it is easy to install, haven't check out how to install it
