    engine air filter and cabin air filter lifespan?

    Yep, once a year. I drive about 27,000 miles a year, so that seems to work for me.

    How Many Miles Do You Have?

    2015 with 37,000 miles. Averaging about 2,300 miles per month. Keeping about a 41mpg average. Very pleased with this car!

    Windshield Wiper Replacement

    I just put on a set of Bosch Icon wipers today. No rain in the forecast for several days, but I will report back once I have the chance to test them.

    20,000 miles Hum/Drone

    I don't know about everyone on the board, but I really do not like the stock Hankook Optimo H426 tires that came on my car. They are sub-par in every way. Seems crazy that a car manufacturer would spend years and billions to develop and build a new model, and then equip it with crappy, $62...

    2016 Toyota Corolla Lease

    I am leasing it for 36 months. Will end up buying it at the end of the lease - that was my intent all along. I am 16 months into the lease and already at 36,000 miles (my total allotment of miles for the entire duration of the lease). I think the buyout is like $7,800. In the end, I will...

    oil change

    I am at 35,000 miles and following the Toyota recommended interval of 10,000 miles. Easy to do, don't with modern synthetic oil, totally doable. Anything more frequent in normal driving conditions is a waste of money.

    2016 Toyota Corolla Lease

    I got mine last year - a 2015. Gave my old Volvo as down payment and walked out at $138/month.

    Trade In Value

    Respectfully disagree on this one... A CPO has to pass a rigorous inspection and any worn or suspect parts replaced. Vehicle must never have been in an accident and all service records verifiable and done by dealership. These vehicles will often carry a warranty that rival a new car from that...

    What to mod

    I think I am going to do a simple window tint, probably 35% all around. I was also thinking about the side window rain guards, but not sure what they might do to overall mpg.... but I do like the way they look on a car with tinted windows. Down the road, I'd like to do a remote engine start...

    Oil change

    Thanks for the info, Matthew and HanSolo! I do a lot of driving, about 10,000 miles every 4 months.... so a high quality synthetic that will let me run 10,000 miles between changes is ideal. Definitely will check out the Eneos and the TRD filters.

    Oil change

    I just had my first oil change done at the dealer with 9,953 miles on the car. Once I am done with the free dealer maintenance, I will switch to Mobile 1. I ran this in my last car... https://mobiloil.com/en/motor-oils/mobil-1/mobil-1-extended-performance Supposed to be good for up to 15,000...

    I want to increase my New Corolla 1.8 HP...

    Maybe this is the path forward for Corolla speed! http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1026803_jdm-toyota-corolla-gets-280hp-v6

    I want to increase my New Corolla 1.8 HP...

    Not sure if this is even possible.... but it would be AWESOME..... Imagine a Camry V6 installed in a Corolla! 268HP in a Corolla would be one amazingly speedy vehicle, but I would imagine a lot of custom fabrication would be involved and the driving dynamics would be an issue with the added...

    MPG

    I love this car! Almost 9,000 miles and averaging OVER the manufacturer's highway rating of 42mpg! It is comfortable, economical and practical... a great, small family sedan and an awesome commuter vehicle. I drive about 90 mIles a day for work, so the miles really add up quickly. I am...

    New cars first oil change to remove metal from break in worth it?

    I am at 8,400 miles on my 2015 LE Eco... going to go to the dealer for the first oil change when the car hits the 10,000 mile mark.... probably will be about 3 weeks from now.

    I am also having this problem, although intermittently, in my 2015 Le Eco. I don't know what the fix is....
