    Weird/moldy smell from AC 2015 Corolla

    After driving for a good time with the air conditioning on park and see if you get water dripping under the car, you should . If not your drain could be clogged causing your problem . It`s usually a quick 10 minute fix to clear it out .

    Wax/Polishes/Cleaners

    Nu Finish is all I ever use . Don`t let it dry too long and stay out of the sun when you use it. I`m careful not to get it on rubber and I sprayed some Plasti-Cote stripes on the sides of my 14 Corolla and I avoided those also . I`ve found it comes off easier than anything else I ever used...

    Hi

    PS Jan , check your oil level often to see if you are running low on oil and keep it topped up to the fill mark on the dip stick , but don`t overfill . Jim

    Hi

    Any name brand 0-20 w oil should be just fine . You will probably get a lot of opinions . I personally use either Pennzoil Ultra or Mobil in 0-20w but would not be afraid to use other brands.The key is to change at or before recommended oil change requirements .

    2016 Scion iA

    rk97 , I would consider it but my 14 Corolla is only 2 years old and 21k miles so a new car is not in the plans for some time . I too have a motorcycle . Not a speed demon sport bike but it moves and rides to my liking and has a track record of reliability , a 2013 Yamaha Road Star 1700 . I...

    2016 Scion iA

    Love my 14 Corolla but would like to take that new Scion for a spin. If I were buying new today the Im would be strong contender for me also.

    Body Side Moldings

    I don`t think they look bad . And the most likely ding s your ever going to get are in parking lots from others car doors .

    New cars first oil change to remove metal from break in worth it?

    I do change my oil at 5k miles intervals using a 0-20w oil , but that may be a little overkill . I don`t think it`s needed at 500 miles on a new engine even though that was somewhat common to do many years ago . Nothing wrong with Mobil 1 oil . I`m not sure what change interval is on the tranny...

    Steering wheel vibrations at high speeds

    I would rotate the front tires to the back. That would narrow it down to see if one of those current front tires is bad or just out of balance. If it still did it then I would then do a alignment check .

    engine air filter and cabin air filter lifespan?

    Got my filters on Ebay both cabin and air filter I believe both for $10.99 . I changed the at 20k miles and the air filter was still quite clean while the cabin filter was getting kind of gunky .

    scion

    If the IM were available when I bought my 2014 Corolla It would have been a tough choice to make . I like a hatchback and I like the looks of the IM . Really like my Corolla though and trading in would take a beating likely .

    Why did you choose your Corolla over the Civic?

    Rolla more roomy . Great back seat leg room , best in class. Good resale . Good reliability. Good looks. Great fuel economy , my mpg avg. on the guage currently with a 3 k mile since last reset is 39.1 mpg avg. .. Got a friend with a not very old Civic and the tranny went out and since then I...
