My Matrix was red, dig the blue far more.

Autozone had a cheap oil, with a warning label that said "Not to be used in internal combustion engines manufactured after 1986". I haven't seen it in a few years though, but I always snickered when I saw it.

I agree, get a leak test performed on it. Shops can easily do this with a special dye and UV light. The compressor is a solid piece of machinery, and the only way they get trashed is by running it completely out of oil (oil is mixed in with the Freon to keep the compressor and seals...

Lol

I watched your YouTube video on that. That is definitely an odd click. Weird that the connectors would get loose like that.

You can use an allen key or an allen head socket with a ratchet. Not sure of the size but if fishy says 10 mm then it is probably 10 mm. Transmission and even oil pans nowaday typically contain magnets. Odd they didn't magnetize the drain pan plug but I guess that makes catching metal more...

What about a change of clothes? We have uniforms at my work so I don't have to worry about coolant and aluminum nitride getting on my seats because my street clothes stay clean.

I changed it at 300 miles just to verify the engine was fine (and yes, I'm still the old school change after break-in type). If you want them to change the oil early, even with Toyota Care, you'll be charged for it but you may be able to get a discount (and the dealer always has the option of...

Do yourself a favor and take a torque wrench to them. That might be your headache the entire time (especially if it is now starting to vibrate at lower speeds).

What Tiger said. The default is 3, but at freeway speeds 3 is way too little. I'm going for 7, just because I do mostly freeway, and if I only need three blinks, I can hold it there for 3 and release it. My appointment is this Saturday. Going to make sure my stereo is updated to the latest...

Wow ... they actually do make them. Yeah I'm not getting the look either, but to each their own.

Toyota's website is full of broken links (again), but it looks like you are right. The final version will have red gauges but other lighting will be blue. The all-red I saw was the concept model so it looks like they changed their mind on the production version.

Another interesting thing. The manual states to verify the proper torque at 1000 miles following a tire rotation.

I remember when I could fill up my Mustang, from empty, with premium, for $20, and that was a measly 13 years ago. Now it costs me $45 to fill up the Corolla from empty with regular >.< I remember after the crash when gas dropped way down to $1.89, that was awesome.

Plans for his trade in most likely. It actually may work out better. Get replacement Corolla, drive home, pull off old tires/wheels, put on new ones, and you get to sell them as new as long as they have under 10 miles (or was it 15?).

Hmmmm ... like a bigger sidewall? If you drop it 1" and maybe do a 235/50r17 it may work ... may. Chances are with all three of those things together, you'd rub on steering lock.

Get the 17 x 17.5 in the 38 mm offset. The 45 mm offset is a touch too high. What size tire are you thinking? 235/40r17?

Lol!

I don't think she understands that the 2014 is an entirely different car.

Ah alright. Yeah the Enkies look good if they come as a 17 x 7 or 7.5
