    2000 Corolla VE Maintenance

    Keep in mind, Toyota now uses synthetic motor oils right from the factory assembly lines in the engines of all their vehicles and specifies that synthetic oils be used with all future oil changes.

    2004 Corolla - Steering Wheel Lock

    Welcome to the Corolla Forum! :thumbup1::clap::thumbup::):thumbsup::party: Something sure isn't right, because with the steering wheel locked the transmission shifter should not be able to be moved out of park. I'm guessing a linkage problem, or some kind of sensor problem with the...

    Remember then the engine will need to be beefed up, including having the engine block o-ringed, a high volume oil pump, high quality synthetic oil like AMSOIL so the oil can withstand the very high temperatures a turbocharger creates, forged steel connecting rods and crankshaft would be a very...

    2007 Corolla LE

    I hear you though. Sometimes I try to edit my posts for a spelling or typographical error and once in a great while the forum software wont let me do it. I think it's just a glitch in the software.

    2001 Corolla Rough Idle/Stalling

    Don't request, demand. "I want a refund for the repairs you did on my car that didn't fix the problem I brought it to you for".
