    Any ideas on this noisy 2009 Corolla?

    Yeah it was a bit of coin but also included a new belt and it was done correctly and efficiently

    Best/Worst vehicles to change the oil&filter on?

    Dodge 3.6 Penstar, GM 2.2 have cartridge filters mounted on top of the engine, easy peasy The 2 Crosstreks and current Forester all have the filter up top as well. Very weasy changes

    Any ideas on this noisy 2009 Corolla?

    They said they replaced the water pump and also installed a new serpentine belt. Whatever was making the noise must have been replaced because that racket is gone and sounds 100% better and is driving pretty smooth now.

    Dropped it off tonight at a local indy shop. Said they will take a look and give me a ring tomorrow on what they find. This is what it sounds like after running for a bit

    Any ideas on this noisy 2009 Corolla?

    Thanks you for the words so far guys....I def think the car is worth sinking some $$ into as it makes the perfect commuter car (100 miles per day) that I don't have to put on my Subaru. That being said, am I walking a tightrope by continuing to drive the car in the condition it it is in? I am...

    Any ideas on this noisy 2009 Corolla?

    Took ownership on my mother's 2009 Corolla as she does not drive any longer. She was pretty good at keeping up the maintenance when she was driving but for the last year and a half the car pretty much sat. Only thing I have done to it is have the dealership give it an oil change. The car runs...

    Any issues using Rotella 0W20 Gas/Truck in Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo?

    Thanks for the welcome back guys! Yes, I was going to buy PP but saw this for 4.50 a quart and figured why not give it a try. 9 bucks at Wally for the filter and zero tax in the Live Free or Die state

    Any issues using Rotella 0W20 Gas/Truck in Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo?

    Was needing to do a change and found Rotella Gas/Truck at Advance Auto for 4.50 a quart after my military discount. Picked up 4 quarts and a Fram 7317 Ulta filter. Last fill was Castrol 0W20 which I ran til the MM binged yesterday. 9300 miles maybe? In any event, how does this compare with QS...
