A relative has a 2011 Camry with 195,000 miles. It uses about 1 quart (Quaker State Snythetic 0 20) every 1,000 miles. Any suggestions on what oil to top up with? I was think of using Quaker State 5 20 high miles oil? Thanks
Did it strip out because you didn't hand thread it in first or because you accidentally over tightened.
^^I was in a hurry and believe I didn't hand thread it properly. A mechanic I trust said I can't use a over sized plug as the original plug is too short or something. I've been changing fluids...
I was doing my last drain and fill on my 2004 Corolla and stripped the pan. I'm quite angry (and feel a bit foolish) with myself but am curious, if as oil and trans pans age, do they become more susceptible to this?
I use the 3 in 1 Meguire's' Cleaner Wax then apply Meguire's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. I was skeptical of the new "ceramic" technology but like the results. In between waxes, I use the Meguire's' Ceramic Detailer.
I think in IL, it's illegal to tint your fronts. But I see plenty of cars with limo tint all around. Sadly, I don't think the Chicago Police do much "traffic enforcement" anymore.
I haven't owned it for that long but I have a 2006 Corolla with 90,000 miles that runs like it's new. Chicago rust is what will probably do this car in.
In Illinois, you are allowed to tint the back windows as dark as you want and the front a certain percentage. Chicago Police will ticket for it because it makes traffic stops more dangerous.
