    Transmission fluid change

    Interesting... My dealer's front desk person in the Service Department recommended it and then was told by the mechanic that you don't do this on a 2015 with a CVT. Caution - STEALERship practices detected!!

    Tire Recommendations?

    I have been running Continental TrueContacts on my 2015 LE Eco. I have about 62,000 miles on them... They will last until about 70,000 or so. Absolutely a great tire and a very good price point. I will be replacing these with another 4 TrueContacts later this year...

    HIGHEST MILEAGE 11TH GEN.

    Hit 100,000 miles today. Running great. All original, minus tires and wiper blades. Been a great daily commuter that eats the miles.

    HIGHEST MILEAGE 11TH GEN.

    I am a self-proclaimed car guy, having owned over 30 cars since I started turning wrenches back in the mid-1980's. During this time, I've owned and driven everything from air cooled VWs to muscle cars to off roaders. I've been an avid drag racer (on the track) and have logged over a million...

    HIGHEST MILEAGE 11TH GEN.

    Hot damn! I thought I was stacking up mileage fast.... I am expecting to get to 178,000 in about another 3 years, at which point I will be giving the car to my daughter for her to learn to drive and first car (she's 13 now). Glad to hear it's still doing well with that kind of mileage. Keep us...

    HIGHEST MILEAGE 11TH GEN.

    99,000 miles and zero issues on my 2015 LE Eco with a CVT. Aside from tires, everything is original. Will be heading in for the 100k mile service by mid-April.

    How many miles do you have so far??

    I would pass on any extended warranty. Save the money in the event you need it for a repair... You probably won't use the money. Mine is a 2015 with 91,000 miles. The car is rock solid and runs perfectly. The dealership tried to talk me into an expensive extended warranty when the lease was...

    It's all good, Jake. Hope you don't think I'm trying to rattle you or challenge you on this forum; that's not what I'm about. I was simply giving Drew an answer based on generally accepted best practices when it comes to aftermarket upgrades and tuning. You're 100% right, you can do...

    Rims for my 2015 corolla L

    From Tirerack.com, experts in this area: "Plus Sizing rule of thumb is to increase tire width by 10 millimeters and decrease sidewall height by 5 to 10 percent for each 1-inch increase in wheel diameter."...

    Jake, You bring up a good point about fuel economy not changing based on tire diameter, which is true. Where the fuel efficiency is lost is not on tire diameter, but rather the tire width. As you go up in rim size, the footprint of the tire changes, creating a bigger contact patch on the...

    Oh, and gas mileage.... bigger tires will reduce your fuel economy.

    Rims for my 2015 corolla L

    Drew, A lower profile tire will result in a rougher ride, however, it will also result in a more responsive vehicle through turns and in emergency maneuvers. Personally, I find anything with less than a 45 series sidewall tends to be too much for my taste. My car is currently running the...

    Your best bet is to check out www.tirerack.com to see the rim options for your Corolla L. You can enter the details about your car, and they will return a list of rims they sell that will fit. I have 15" on my Eco model and have been considering a rim purchase.
