http://CaComplaints.com <-- Isn't known by every Corolla owner. The point is that compared to other cars on the road that are reported on that website, 896 complaints, (and hundreds more submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), is quite a lot.

There are ten recalls for this Corolla. Did you have them taken care of yet?

I keep finding the trunk on my Toyota 2010 open. Not fully opened, but just maybe a crack open. Have had it for almost 3 years now, and didn't have this problem before. I was thinking what I may be doing is accidentally hitting the "open trunk" button on my remote as I carry my car keys in my hand getting in/out of my car. Or could it be another problem? Thanks.
i have a 2010 corolla with 49k. i tried mobil1 0w20 and my mpg went down 2 mpg from the castrol dino oil that i used to use. ive gotten the best mpg using castrol syntex 5w20. i put in a k/n oil filter. i bought the filter socket #2465 from CTA using their guide and it didnt fit. i feel like i wasted $55 on this oil change between the tool/mobil1. also, i want to get new tires and i was thinking of continental pure contacts which i have on my 98 corolla. also was considering general rt43. the bf goodrich advantage ta didnt do well in snow according to tirerack reviews..what replacement tires did you buy?...AND... ive had toyota batteries last 7 yrs or more in othe toyotas, but this 4 yo panasonic that it came with new is starting to crank slow.

Everything you've mentioned are things which everyone seems to have strong personal opinions about but since you asked and I have the same car you do I'll give you my take on the questions you've asked:
As far as oil and filters go, currently I'm also running Mobil-1 5/20 in my Corolla. I have no idea what was in it before I got it; it might have been synthetic, but I doubt it. FWIW Toyota specs synthetic oil for these engines. When it's due for a change again I'll probably switch it to Amsoil synthetic. I'm running a Fram filter.
I've had good luck with Kumho Solaris KR21 tires on another car, similar to a Corolla. The PO of my car put tires on it just before I bought it, and they threw some cheap no-name's on it which I hate. When their worn-out I'll likely put the KR21's on.
I'm still running the stock battery in my car, although once in a while it seems to take a little longer to crank-over my car does tend to sit for a week or more at a time. However it sounds like you get snow where you are and colder temps tend to kill batteries. Extreme heat can as well. Where I'm at here in So.Cal. are temps are on the mild side, plus I don't have anything aftermarket installed.
