    0W-20 Oil

    Semi-synthetic or blend oils are allowed to have as little as 1% synthetic oil in the blend. If the bottle of blend oil doesn't state what the percentage of synthetic oil is in the blend, buyer beware. Adding petroleum oil to a synthetic oil reduces the performance of the synthetic oil.

    0W-20 Oil

    Using the incorrect viscosity of oil can void the engine warranty of a vehicle. An oil that is thicker than the recommended viscosity will also decrease fuel economy, increase emissions, can cause harder cold engine starts, increase engine wear and also increase engine temperatures, which can...

    Anyone Flush Your Transmission Yet?

    Corolla owners may use any brand transmission fluid they wish, as long as it meets the performance specifications recommended by Toyota, which in this case is the Toyota WS performance specification. "Toyota WS" is not a brand, but a performance specification, i.e. like Grade A eggs are not a...

    2002 Corolla NOT Consuming Oil

    Well Zorkiglass, pinching pennies is one of the main reasons to use AMSOIL, because it can save you so much money in reduced maintenance costs and improved fuel economy. Most of my customers save $150 per year and many even more. About how many miles per year do you drive, how often are you...

    2002 Corolla NOT Consuming Oil

    I think that would be very wise to not try to use extended drain intervals with an oil that is not safely capable of it. Engines costs thousands of dollars, but how much does an oil change cost? Oil is the lifeblood of an engine and it makes good sense to use a high quality synthetic oil like...

    2002 Corolla NOT Consuming Oil

    Zork - That all depends on what brand and type of oil you are referring to. Very few oils on the market today are capable of safe extended drain intervals. What kind of oil are you using, (petroleum or synthetic), what brand and what viscosity?

    Free Corolla Owners Manuals and Technical Data

    It was much easier before when stickies were allowed on the forum and you didn't have to wade through page after page after page before finding important information. I feel this has really hurt the forum and it's far less active than it used to be. You can hear a pin drop around here now. :(...

    2014 Corolla - Small Collision

    Use cheap E-bay parts on a leased car and when the dealership discovers the sub-standard replacement parts, they will charge you for removal and replacement with the original Toyota parts.

    1990 Corolla - 64,000 Mile Engine

    Please don't junk a car that only has 64,000 miles on it. :eek: I recommend taking the car to a Toyota dealership and having them diagnose what is wrong. But please, don't throw away such a nice car because of a starting problem. :(

    2005 Corolla LE - Tire Brand and Size From the Factory?

    Tires usually become noisy because of uneven wear pattens on the tires from either an out of alignment condition or lack of regular tire rotations and re-balancing. I have had very good results with the Bridestone Ecopia tires, which are a low rolling resistance tire that deliver improved fuel...

    2005 Corolla LE - Tire Brand and Size From the Factory?

    www.TireRack.com The above website will tell you. Be forewarned that original equipment tires don't tend to be very good at all and I'm being polite.

    2001 Corolla Oil Consumption questions

    The 1998-2002 Corolla's are noted for high oil consumption due to a deficient piston design. There was a thread about this that provided a lot of great in-depth information for everyone, that was a sticky, but sticky's have now been removed and I can no longer find this thread. I spent 20...

    Hello

    Here is an amazing video about a Confederate soldier that wrote a letter to Col.Chamberlain fifty years after the battle. Had Col.Chamberlain been shot and killed, the Confederates would have won that battle of Little Round Top and likely won the war. I do believe the hand of God protected him...
