I think that a 17" wheel with a 225/45R17 tire is the best combination for looks, ride and handling. A 15" or 16" wheel looks a little small and the tire sidewall looks too big. An 18" wheel makes the tire sidewall too short and the ride suffers as well as handling. The 18" wheel is also heavier...

I realize that but I've also had Toyotas that had 300k miles and had no oil usage. My point was that it won't hurt anything to change it but it could hurt if you didn't. Why people are so defiant when it comes to changing oil more often I'll never understand. You only have a new car with a new...

I followed up with a question to the company and got this reply. This is nothing like the thick STP type oil treatments used in the past. Hello, AR9100 will not increase the viscocity of 0w20 oil. The SUS viscocity of AR9100 at 210F is 49.9, and the cSt viscocity of AR9100 at 100C is 7.25...

I think that is the case with a lot of additives but may not be with all of them.Oil additives from years ago were a lot different than some of the high tech ones they are developing today. I'm always open to learning about new products to see if they are really something amazing or not. I'm...

As you said you can believe if you want too. I've asked a lot of Toyota master mechanics and others that I know and they have all told me to still do it. It doesn't hurt anything and can only help. It's only about $25 to do the oil change myself so why not play it safe? To each there own though...

I'm intrigued with this new product I learned about from Jay Leno. He's such a perfectionist when it comes to his cars. It's call Archoil and it needs just a few ounces added to the oil. It sure sounds promising and his mechanics sure swear by it with all of his cars...

I've got 8 Toyotas in the family. 1989 Supercharged MR2 5MT - 143k miles 1994 Corolla DX 5MT - 296k miles 1995 Supercharged Previa DX - 160k miles 2006 Scion xB 5MT - 105k miles 2007 Corolla CE 5MT - 103k miles 2008 Yaris HB 5MT - 62k miles 2009 Corolla S 5MT - 96k miles 2010 Prius III - 72k...

I use Redline MT-90 synthetic gear oil in my MT cars. It's worked great in my 94 Corolla, 06 xB, 07 Corolla and 09 Corolla. I change it every 30k-35k miles. My 09 Corolla I bought new and it still shifts like butter at 96k miles. The others were all bought used and one of the first things I did...

Every new car I've bought I changed the oil at 1k miles, to me it's just cheap insurance and won't hurt anything but can only help. On my 09 Corolla I changed it at 1k, 5k and every 5k miles after that as on the 09 you had to change it every 5k miles to stay in warranty no matter if you used...

Do you have an original Toyota owners manual for the car? Every one will list the fluid specifications for type and quantity. Have you asked a local Toyota dealer? My odds are with it using 0w-20 just like the extremely hot areas of the US still use. Maybe look on the underside of the hood too.

This was a pretty rare issue with some of the first Corollas produced in the first half of 2008 as 2009 models. It was actually fixed with a firmware update on the ECU. My Corolla was produced in 11/08 and I've had no oil burning issues. On my 9400 mile trip last fall I had no noticeable drop in...

I had to extend the wires for my oil pressure gauge and finish running all the wires up behind the stereo and to the top of the dash. My wife thought it would look really cool if I had the gauge holder hydrodipped in a carbon fiber look so I dropped it off today to be done. It will take a week...

I'm shocked that your manual doesn't list what is recommended. What about on your oil cap? If you look again and still can't find the answer check with a local dealer. The 2ZR-FE is designed here to use 0w-20 and it's no different in Arizona where it can hit 120F so I would guess that 0w-20...

I haven't seen those around for decades! Just get your windows tinted and leave the louvers back in the 80's! ;)

They do make CAI and SRI for the Corolla. I had a Takeda SRI for many years along with a Borla exhaust and throttle controller it sure felt more responsive but the total HP I saw was 126HP at the wheels from 132 at the crank before mods so I did gain some power back. If you really want more...

If you are using standard oil then change it every 5k miles. If you are using synthetic 0w-20 then you can go to 7500 miles. I would never push a standard oil past 5k miles as you are asking for trouble with the possibility of sludge starting to build up. Change it and play it safe. I've used...

Not sure what tank is there. I looked on my car and there is nothing there. It may be a part of the intake system for the air filter box. I added a Takeda SRI many years ago and took out all of the OEM parts so I don't remember what it looked like. Here is the area and as you can see there is...

I was able to get all of the wire harnesses for my 3 gauges pulled through the firewall today! I'm so very excited. Hoping to get them finished off tomorrow. I can then get the AEM FIC hooked up and start checking all of my connections and bolts before I fire it up for the first time! Oh so...

Not sure as our Corollas in NA didn't have that option in the back seat.

When I first started looking at clutch options I was told numerous times that the 9th gen clutches were different from the 10th gen clutches. I'm not sure about the flywheel but since the engine is different I would bet they don't fit. I would list them in the 9th gen forums to sell them.
