Your city mileage does not seem right. I keep meticulous mpg records as a delivery driver. I top off my tank to the brim. I consistently get true 26-29mpg in suburban traffic. This is taking odometer/tripmeter reading divided by exact gallons to refil. My onboard computer is off by ~= 5%...

I run 15k m1 ep and I like it. For real. 4 vehicles, no issues. Oil is very clean thru it's 15k lifecycle. I don't get black oil. I run m1 cartrige and spin ons. Ymmv. See a pic under the 2014-2016 forum....I posted about a week ago. Both sticks show over 6k. I change the oil at 10k for...

Well, my stealer ship must be out of date. Took my Corolla in for code 0442 before Labor Day and they charged me a diag fee, told me they couldn't find the cause, offered to smoke test the gas tank for another"fee" which I declined,and then said they would change the gas cap. My only blunder was...

With respect to dk, yes your dealer can and should resolve it. But....my experiences have been very 'temperature dependent' rattles. Depends on sun factor, time of day, speed, pavement etc. I do delivery and courier work and I doubt the service techs have enough time to shake out or recreate...

Another observation regarding rattles and squeaks....I'm not discounting the tire tread/ply construction influence. My S+ came with oem Firestone 740's. These tires ride very soft and luxurious imo, but the handling and wet traction was poor in my eyes. I changed to a full set of continental...

Clarify...my upgrade above was on a 2004 LE front rotors. Going to redstuff on all four corners of 2014-2016 would be a hoot....

Agree with dk. We installed redstuff on stock rotors and saw big improvement..better initial bite but what is most impressive is the endless pedal. The more you step, the quicker you stop. The pads have a seemingly endless reserve for regular street use. Very confidence inspiring. FWIW...

"Far bettere ..." Thanks dk, now I know. Sounds like I'll stick with red. Wife loves them on her 2004 LE and so do I, but curious whether to upgrade my 2015 S+ to yellow. I do like the ultra low dust of 2015 oem, but willing to trade off low dust of red for better all around performance...

The dipstick in the 2015 is less beefy than the 2004.

And here is 2000 words on my 2015...both sides of stick

In a perfect world it would look like my 2004 LE seen here...no disputing the reading.

Can't decipher...

It's part of the master plan to take the enthusiast out of the loop....(sarc). When joe blow runs his engine out of oil t(cause he decipher the dipstick) then Toyota gets a new car sale. Nice twist on planned obsolescence....

Yea when it works like millions of other cars before it....it is more challenging for sure, and perhaps related to the thinner 0W-20 oil vs 5W-30 I'm accustomed to.

Jolly, u might have helped me with your last comment above. Disable 'for real' would solve my displeasure. Will look into that avenue. I read owner manual when new but maybe I should go back and read it again. I just want the damn vent temp to stay constant...instead of wavering per the two...

Manual or auto trans?

U r Correct phyre3 as the resistor pack failure is indicated by blower only working on high. Conversely, if the lower speeds work ok, but high speed is sluggish or wavering, the circuit is resistive. I solved my wavering problem by replacing the blower motor relay. It had breached and spilled...

I got this problem too. I'll let u know if I solve it...

Try removing the plastic cover over the stalk and reseat the electrical plug going to it. Look for any type of corrosion. If that doesn't fix it, I suspect a defective stalk. About $80 for a new one.
