    Brake pads and how-to

    The video links weren't any good - can you repost?

    Brake pads and how-to

    Those links aren't valid. They just take me to my YouTube home page.

    Brake pads and how-to

    Does anyone know what kind of brake pads to get for a 2015 Corolla S? Most of what I see are ceramic, and I thought that those were for heavy-duty use (like in a pickup truck). Wouldn't I be looking for semi-metallics? And does anyone know of any YouTube videos that show how to do this? It is...

    Radar detector

    I bought the Escort Passport Max 2, it works great. The app is easy to read and the text and buttons are big. My only criticism is that the included suction cup mount is horrible. It broke and Escort sent me a replacement. Well, that one broke too. :(

    HELP: HIGH RPM & slow speed while driving Downhill

    I have a 2015 Corolla S. I've noticed if I have cruise control engaged while going downhill that I'll get high RPMs as well. I've just gotten into the habit of turning it off at those times. The problem went away.

    Wiring in radar detector

    The Max II works great, I have my iPhone to the left of the steering wheel, so it is easy to train it to recognize false positives (and there haven't been many at all). I have a live wire on a 20A fuse that I am going to connect to the fuse adapter when I get it. It is for the sunroof, but I...

    Coolant capacity

    Ok, many thanks. Believe it or not, my OM doesn't have that in it. All I have is a maintenance manual, which doesn't (again, believe it or not) have that info. I called my dealer, they are going to get me an OM for free. But thank you -

    Coolant capacity

    What is the coolant capacity for the 2015 Toyota Corolla S? I am sure it is the same for all 2014-2016 models, but I want to do a flush and need to know how much coolant to buy.

    Fuel filter and transmission filter/fluid changes

    I have a 2015 Toyota Corolla S. How often does the fuel filter and CVT transmission fluid and filter need to be changed? From what I can tell, the transmission fluid is a "lifetime" fluid, whatever that means. But wouldn't the filter still need to be changed? And the same for the fuel filter...

    Location of fuse panel in passenger compartment

    No - the only things on the black plastic panel is the hood release latch on the lower left, and the knee airbag in the middle. The fuse box is behind the hood latch, and sits up behind the base of the panel about an inch. It's why I couldn't see it. Odd place to put it though. The only downside...

    Wiring in radar detector

    I bought a Escort Passport Max II radar detector, and it comes with a fuse wiring cord for power. But no instructions for what fuse to connect it to. The power port (cigarette lighter) is on a 15A fuse, if I connected it to that fuse, would that prevent sufficient power from going out to charge...

    Location of fuse panel in passenger compartment

    I found the panel, there isn't a black panel. It is a thin white one that sits at the left edge, just behind the hood release lever.

    Location of fuse panel in passenger compartment

    Where is the location of the fuse panel inside the passenger compartment in the 2015 Toyota Corolla S? I have looked but there isn't any panel that can be removed to expose it, if it is under the driver's side dash.
