    new corolla owner

    Hello Max , I also have a 2014 with around 23k miles that I bought new. Toyota recommends 0-20w oil at 10k mile changes but I don`t go that long although I think you would be ok doing that . I do go 5k mile changes and all 0-20w oil is synthetic . Bridgestone Blizzaks for snow tires are highly...

    Hitting 5000 miles

    Any Toyota dealer can do the free service intervals if you have another one in the area to take it to. I had no problem with my dealer which is a good thing since they are only about 6 blocks from my house.

    Aftermarket Horns Thoughts and Opinions

    I can`t comment on those , but I`m glad that they started putting regular horns in the Corolla instead of those Japanese meepmeep horns of yesteryear :)

    Hitting 5000 miles

    Also since you are doing 5k oil changes any 0-20 oil will be fine . 0-20w is only made in synthetic and will go 5k miles with ease since Toyota is ok with 10k mile changes .

    Hitting 5000 miles

    Wow , you don`t trust the dealer to do something as simple as an oil change ? I took my car in for every free 5k check . They only will do the free changes at the 10k interval . But I did the in between ones at 5 and 15 k . They also rotated tires every 5k and do a multi-point inspection that...

    Toyota Corolla 2003 oil change for a first timer

    I would recommend car ramps over a jack.Put a block behind the back wheels also and car in gear and parking brake . That should eliminate any possibility of it rolling backward. I have a 2014 Corolla so don`t know what`s recommended for a 03 with quite a few miles.I buy 0-20 synthetic for my...

    2015 Corolla LE replacement tires

    I`ve got OEM Michelin tires on my 2014 Corolla. They seem ok . Maybe it`s just getting extra bite on the pavement with the snows.

    Gas cap won't click

    I never paid attention to mine. I snug it up but I don`t think it`s clicking. I`m going to have to check that out on my next fill-up.

    Weird/moldy smell from AC 2015 Corolla

    After driving for a good time with the air conditioning on park and see if you get water dripping under the car, you should . If not your drain could be clogged causing your problem . It`s usually a quick 10 minute fix to clear it out .

    Wax/Polishes/Cleaners

    Nu Finish is all I ever use . Don`t let it dry too long and stay out of the sun when you use it. I`m careful not to get it on rubber and I sprayed some Plasti-Cote stripes on the sides of my 14 Corolla and I avoided those also . I`ve found it comes off easier than anything else I ever used...

    Hi

    PS Jan , check your oil level often to see if you are running low on oil and keep it topped up to the fill mark on the dip stick , but don`t overfill . Jim

    Hi

    Any name brand 0-20 w oil should be just fine . You will probably get a lot of opinions . I personally use either Pennzoil Ultra or Mobil in 0-20w but would not be afraid to use other brands.The key is to change at or before recommended oil change requirements .

    2016 Scion iA

    rk97 , I would consider it but my 14 Corolla is only 2 years old and 21k miles so a new car is not in the plans for some time . I too have a motorcycle . Not a speed demon sport bike but it moves and rides to my liking and has a track record of reliability , a 2013 Yamaha Road Star 1700 . I...

    2016 Scion iA

    Love my 14 Corolla but would like to take that new Scion for a spin. If I were buying new today the Im would be strong contender for me also.

    Absolutely not needed . NO benefit to using high octane whatsoever.
