Well, that's probably debatable. Toyota's OW20 synthetic is a very good oil, and 10k is probably sufficient unless you are doing a lot of "severe" driving - short trips, all stop and go, dusty or dirt roads, extreme temperatures. But I would add that many people aren't confident running ANY...

As stated in the manual, if using synthetic 0W20, oil change interval is 10k miles. If 5w20 is used, the interval is shortened to 5k miles. You, of course, can change the synthetic 0W20 at 5k intervals, but it will only be free at 10k and 20k miles.

It looks like a step backward. Away from the clean sporty look to a cluttered faux-chrome cluttered and dated design. I like the dash cluster though. That new look isn't gonna inspire a lot of new sales. Too generic and dated.

Generally like the changes, but too much chrome, especially the wide strip in the back. Oddly, the new front end kind of reminds me of the previous generation Camry, while the new Camry mimics the 2014-2015 Corolla front. Nice dash cluster.

I'm in Pennsylvania too. My corolla is garaged for the winter, and I'm driving my beater Civic with winter tires. And it absolutely rides MUCH rougher in this stupid cold weather, even with tires that are supposed to remain soft even in cold temps. You need to check the manual or placard in...

That's disturbing that it failed at that mileage. I really hope we don't start seeing a pattern of this. I'm a little confused about the PSI readings. It looks to me like those readings were taken after the CVT replacement? Is it indicating there is still a problem?

The tires should be filled to whatever it says in your manual. There may also be a placard on your door or in glove box telling you the correct pressure. Definitely do NOT set to the maximum pressure indicated on your tires. Also, where are you located? Are you in a part of the US or Canada...

Yes those are one of the standard tires for the LE, and the LE has 16 inch wheels as standard, I believe. Or at least as an option. Toyo is a pretty well-known ad well-regarded Asian tire company. I have an ECO with 15 inch wheels and Hankook low rolling resistance tires. Ride is pretty...

I imagine its normal. There is probably a difference in the exhaust tuning between the 04 and the 15 models. Which model and type of transmission do you have?

That seems reasonable. It never hurts to get a couple estimates just to make sure they are in line.

My guess would be 1500-2000, minimum. But you look like you may have structural damage to the bumper so likely going to be higher than that, needing more than jus ta bumper skin. Don't be surprised if you get in the 2500-3000 range. You'll still need paint blending work with your fender and...

Yes, that's been my experience, but this vehicle, and a 2004 Subaru Forester I owned, did it all the time in any gear. Extremely annoying, actually one of the biggest reasons the civic was traded for the corolla.

That info about the oil pressure alone would mean no way I would ever do it. Plus anything that puts any extra strain on the CVT is a bad long-term idea. Plus Toyota recommends against it. The corolla's CVT is designed for fuel economy, the appropriate use of an economy small sedan

Obviously, with such a vague description and no pictures, it's impossible to even guess. But a minimum would be 1000 dollars. The headlight module is quite expensive, I thought I remembered seeing about 400. ANY kind of painting, refinishing or replacing the bumper skin, assuming no other...

While its sitting there warming up, it is getting exactly 0 mpg. Do that for 5 or 10 minutesand you're definitely gonna take a hit mpg wise.

Several of the places that sell hitches put in a disclaimer that Toyota says not to tow with the corolla, and you risk your warranty (or at least part of it) if you do. Of course, they'l still sell you the hitch, lol.

There was a brief period of time in late nineties and early 2000's when Toyota had several motors that burned oil and could build sludge easily without proper care and a good oil. I unfortunately had an 01 Corolla and it was burning a quart every thousand miles when I traded it at 135k miles...

Looks like the link for the download has been taken down. This is definitely something I would let the dealer do, when it goes in for 10k maintenance, if it even needs the update. Mine is working fine, so I don't think I'll bother with it unless I start having problems.

I see this a lot too. I think it comes down to a couple things. People have poor night vision (then should they be driving???), and people are just selfish and inconsiderate. Like the truck driver who can go 19 mph up the mountain so he gets in the passing lane to pass the truck who can only...
