Did you check your owners manual? Here in North America we use 0w-20 synthetic oil. Being in a warmer climate I would guess that 5w-30 would be the recommended oil.

I've not heard of people having problems with the AC compressor at all. A few will fail as no part has a 100% perfect record but the AC compressor hasn't been a red flag.

You might want to check on them as they may both fit the 11th gen too. The suspension and chassis are basically the same.

Get the turbo kit like I'm installing on mine form Turbokits.com. Trust me, that will do the trick!

I've used Mobil 1 for most of my cars for the last 35 years. It's always performed well for me on all my cars. I've had engines go 300k miles and more with no issues. Sometimes I'll pick up some Toyota 0w-20 synthetic oil when it's a great price at the dealer. I get 5 quart jugs of Mobil 1 at...

It's been a very long, cold winter which has made it hard to work on my turbo project. After taking a trip to Hawaii, which was awesome, I was able to make some progress on my Corolla. Got the IC all mounted up. View of the IC from above. Inlet to the IC. IC piping from the turbo under...

Mine is a 2009 Corolla S. Not sure of the part number but I'm sure you could find it on the UR website. I bought mine on eBay as did a few others.

Without a 3rd pedal there is no manual mode, just a fake pretend mode! :rolleyes:

Personally I would never rev a cold engine like that. You also drove it pretty hard before letting it warm up which is never a good thing. I had a Borla exhaust on my 09 S and it sounded amazing but still had the low end torque. It also was nice and quite under 3k RPM. With the muffler delete it...

What's wrong with the OEM plugs? They are good for 120k miles. I've not heard of any issues with them as they are iridium plugs. Good stuff.

Some people with 10th gens have had good results with intake, exhaust and tuning the ECU through Orange Virus. I'm turbocharging my 10th gen with the kit from Turbokits.com. They've had very good reliability with people that have run 150k miles and more. They make a kit for the 9th gen & 10th...

Hard to say what that number means if they don't tell you what the scale is. FICO has a max of 850 for their calculation they do.

All FWD cars understeer for safety. What you need to do is add better rear sway bar(s) to a FWD to make it more neutral. I've added many suspension upgrades to my 09 Corolla S and she handles so well it's not even funny. Here is my list. 1. BC Coilovers 2. TRD Rear Sway Bar 3. TRD Front Strut...

I've been looking at buying a Corolla iM too. I love the style of it. I'd be happy if they would just offer a 1.8L turbo and tuned suspension in an iM!

I really like the aggressive look of the car though I wish the grill was a little smaller. Why this tendency to use huge front grills that look odd is beside me.

But in the US it was the Corolla GTS. I've always liked the name better. I loved my 89 Corolla GTS AE92.

This is true of many newer cars with all the air bags and safety equipment. Cheaper to total than repair when air bags deploy.

There are so many variables when it comes to insurance rates. The only negative about the Corolla is the high theft rate. You can help yourself by installing an alarm and some type of tracking device if it were to be stolen. I've found Allstate and State Farm to be 2 of the most expensive...

Interesting since credit scores max out in the 830 range. FICO has the highest number at 850 so nothing is close to 900. Even people with perfect credit rarely hit 830. I've got what is considered perfect credit at 800+ as does my wife.

Are you sure that the level is seen correctly? Not sure how it would be using oil and then not. I'm worried that you overfilled it and thought it was low if it was hard to read. Other than that I have no clue.
