With oil there are standards to go by such as GF5 or GF6 that assure a minimum performance level, filters.... no such common standard in place. One reason why Toyota (in my humble opinion) chose to go to the cartridge style. So they would have control over the bypass valving. Fumoto drain valve...

I've got a display in my lab of about 15 spin on filters that I've cut open to show the internal differences. There are actually only a few filter manufacturers. Bosch premium used to be the same thing internally as the Pure1 by Purolator. You can even call the tech line for one filter brand and...

old school filters had an internal bypass valve that prevented filter collapse or oil starvation if the element got too restricted. Depending on the brand of old school filter this was anything from something pretty nice to very cheesey. With the tighter clearances, Toyota wanted to make sure...

you can float the valves with valve springs having that many miles on them, not wise to say the least. old saying "if you're going to get on it.... you're going to get under it"

has anyone installed one on their gen 10 corolla (non JBL)? http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-2010-TOYOTA-PRIUS-USB-iPOD-INTERFACE-KIT-PT233-47100-/151195266909?hash=item2333f0af5d:g:U-EAAOSwSWJXQ6S5&vxp=mtr I've read a reference that seemed to imply it would work and would give the factory...

a thought.... While you have it out to see the numbers, try unplugging the steering wheel controls and see if problem still exist.

probably a good idea to peek at yours first and get the numbers off of it and verify before you buy. I found there was at least 2 different manufacturers from at least 3 different countries and they all looked alike from the faceplate. May be totally interchangeable, but I don't know. Each looks...

When my cd player died (2011 model) I just bought an identical salvaged (fully tested with warranty) unit on ebay for 40$ with shipping included. (non JVC) There was literally dozens to choose from in the 25-45$ price range... I avoided any that looked dirty or scratched up. Removal and...

fwiw, they look just as good and just as snug a year later... ymmv, especially with leather.

if you're looking to "replace" than you need to find a custom auto upholstery shop, be prepared for sticker shock. If you looking for a seat "cover" than I've had good luck with Coverking brand. Here is my custom neoprene This was immediately after installing so you can still see some...

sweet :-) you're welcome

No, never have but that seems like it may be a very simple solution... Have you tried them?.... I do like the stopping power of the TRD pads but geeze they are dusty I've got the Posi-Quiet pads sitting at the house, but not been motivated enough yet to swap them out.

in 2017-2018 many new cars will be going to the new GF6 standard, 0w-16 :)

Car and Driver Magazine November 2000 Synthetic Motor Oil Gets All New Semantics No sprint-car driver in history comes close to matching Steve Synthetic motor oil gets all new semantics. Now that the meaning of "is" has gotten so slippery you need to grab it with both hands, we'd better keep...

I have used mobil1 for years and can find it at the local walmart etc.... I think its a very good oil, and I still use their high milage 5w-30 in my truck due to the higher levels of ZDDP. Used to be Mobil1 was PAO based until castrol started hydrocracking mineral based and calling it...

2014 is the first year of the new "11th generation" Corolla. This will give you some details of the differences: http://toyotanews.pressroom.toyota.com/releases/toyota+reveals+next-generation+corolla+june6.htm As with any new redesign there are usually some issues to be worked out. NHTSA...

assuming no issues, by default it comes on every 5k for oil change reminder put odometer on "A" , hold odometer button in and turn key on but do not start continue to depress odometer button and after a bit (30 secs or so it seems) the maint light will go out light reset and good for another 5k

thanks asherstan, I try to take care of it. I spend a lot of time on the road. I think I had just applied Klasse "all in one" and sealant when that pic was taken.

Image taken a month or so I guess, not much of a glamour shot though. Very late 2011 5 speed, only real add on is some custom fitted neoprene seat covers to dress up the interior just a bit. My daily driver @ 85 miles a day to work and back vroom vroom lol
