Good day guys

I have a Toyota yaris 1.3 2009 model have it since 132000kms

according to service history online it seems it only skipped 1 service interval.

1) Do you guys think that if i skip 1 it will affect resale value as the books and manuals are gone before i bought the car ?
service 180000kms. or do you recommend i do it at the dealer and keep service history ?

So if i choose to do the service myself these are the Q's

1) Is the Toyota spark plugs the same as 1ns from spare shop? coz i see it take 2or3 services before Toyota change these.

2) Can i use say Castrol or shell 15w40 which is recommended? or must i buy Toyota oil? which will be more expensive.

3) Why is Toyota air-filter so expensive? can i use a spare shops good air-filter etc?


What do you guys recommend here?

I am satisfied with Toyota especially the diagnosis of replacement parts as part of the service experience. You know Check list etc .

I just feel that at this millage it might not be so beneficial especially as dealer workshop service is expensive.

Do you normally opt for a DIY or other cheaper workshop service compared to Toyota dealer service after a certain KM's?

Thanks guys

Cheers
