    Automatic Transmission Fuid - When to Change?

    Chilton's or Hayne's oughta have a manual out by now for these years. Typically the filter is behind the pan though. I haven't seen any other automatic transmission that deviates from this.

    2003-2008 Corolla HID Options

    HID retrofits are illegal, but at least by using a projector lens that is designed for HID (and not one designed for halogen), then you won't blind people. If you live in an area that does visual inspections, don't waste your time or money. Otherwise, you can do it. Just remember that you pay...

    Cruise Control

    It is hard to work things out online and it does take longer. Just how it is.

    Cruise Control

    Or any shop, LOL! There are a ton of reasons why cruise control may not work. Faulty brake switch, bad wiring, a faulty throttle modulator, bad vehicle speed sensor. If you're brake light bulbs function (not tail light, brake light), then we can rule that out as well as a brake like switch...

    2ZR-FE Turbo Kit

    Yup, if they use a rubber belt I wouldn't chance it. Metal belt ... probably can handle a little extra power.

    Automatic Transmission Fuid - When to Change?

    The filter is generally covered by the transmission oil pan, held on by three bolts. Gotta remove the pan to change it. I believe the manual uses gear oil but I would verify that in the manual. Manual transmissions don't need changes, so fortunately you only gotta drain and fill when you are...

    Automatic Transmission Fuid - When to Change?

    Won't be in the owners manual. It will be in the Scheduled Service Guide which is a separate book from the Owner's Manual.

    A Find 4x 194 AMBER Led Light Bulbs Turn Signal

    And a quick Google search shows that CANBUS "compatible" LED bulbs often times doesn't eliminate the NO BULB error on certain cars (the eBay ones anyway), nor eliminate hyperflashing.

    A Find 4x 194 AMBER Led Light Bulbs Turn Signal

    CANBUS is for computers that alert you to a bulb being burned out. CANBUS bulbs should not be used on non-CANBUS vehicles.

    Automatic Transmission Fuid - When to Change?

    That's right, 10,000 mile changes on the 2ZZ. If I'm not mistaken, the full automatic change includes the torque converter. That oil tends to last longer than the oil cycling through the transmission itself. Most places just do fluid and filter changes. I haven't touched an automatic in...

    Some racecars have CVT engines but I imagine they are built up.

    Automatic Transmission Fuid - When to Change?

    Even every third is a lot. Most manufacturers recommend 30,000 miles unless you tow or do a lot of city driving.

    Seatbelt Warning Light Staying On

    Odd they have on the retractor instead of the buckle.

    Cruise Control

    I think those Corollas were the GM venture era Corollas. Check the brake light bulbs and make sure they all work. If they are working, it may need to go to a dealer, as it would be difficult to diagnose online.

    Timing Belt or Timing Chain?

    The chain itself only gets loose when the tensioner fails. The chain itself is indestructible. You'd replace the tensioners and the rollers and guides. It is an involved process that involves removing all accessories from the front of the engine. If you haven't done one yourself already, it'll...

    Automatic Transmission Fuid - When to Change?

    It is worth it. Fluid and filter change is cheap compared to a trashed transmission. You could also do it yourself relatively cheaper. If you are interested there are probably several YouTube videos that cover it. If the fluid is brown, then that means friction material is beginning to...
