Yeah I bought it from amazon, I had to buy the starter lock seperate though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TCMF9TH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Yeah I used the TDC pin on the crank and also pulled the starter out and put the starter lock on it to make life easier.

Just done done changing the timing belt on my 2013 ford fiesta. Oil was always walmart supertech (not the synthetic) and was changed between 5K and 10K, car has about 110K on it right now. Thought someone might be interested in seeing the pictures.

They do for the "Normal" service interval. This one because of the exceptions to "normal" falls outside of the definition, as defined in the manual anyway.

Its a Fram Ultra oil filter, though after perusing the oil filter section that particular filter seems to have fallen out of favor for the Endurance model. Not 100% why, I may end up changing to that if I can find the details.

Pretty happy with the report overall, may increase the interval to 7500 and then hold there.

After being stranded when the start/stop in my company F-150 decided it would stop but not start, I disabled it in my corolla cross ( pull microswitch connector on hood latch). Everyone may have better experiences with it and thats fine but mine was horrible. Ended up having to replace a starter...

I figured I would come in and say what I've finally decided to do. I'm gonna be using the pennzoil ultra 0w20 and I'll put in pennzoil 0w16 when the price comes down. I had to take my mothers 2022 rav4 into the dealership collision center ( lady backed into the front bumper, minor damage but...

There is the first 9 digits of the Vin, I believe it was built in Alabama.

It begins with a 7.

I love the car, its been great, admittingly I've not been driving it a ton thanks to work. Its nice to drive though, its not got a ton of power by any means but its enough. I've had bad back problems now for a few years (after caring for my father with Parkinsons) and with this car it doesn't...

There is a Copy out of the owners manual. Looks like I can use the 0w20 as long as I flip flop from oil change to oil change with it. The comment about higher viscosity being better when operated under/at "high speeds or under extreme load conditions" is interesting. Thanks to where I live it...

Just purchased a 2022 Corolla Cross (had it for two months actually but only has 500 miles thanks to being away from home so much), and was debating whether or not to use the 0w16 or use 0w20. I can get the pennzoil platinum 0w16 here but its almost $50 for 6 quarts, or I can get Pennzoil Ultra...

I don't think you'll have any issues with using a 5w30 in my opinion. I've used 0w20 and 5w20 supertech in my 2013 fiesta throughout its entire life (115,000 so far) and the underside of the valve cover is still pristine and wear is minimal (expect the transmission to be what takes this car...
