    Prices of engine oil @ Can. Tire

    Your dollar isn't "weak" as far as its value is concerned on the currency trading floors around the world. Against other currencies it's not weak.

    Prices of engine oil @ Can. Tire

    It's not our currency, we've been paying a lot more than US consumers have as long as I can remember. Our dollar right now is trading around 83 cents to the US dollar mostly due to the lower price of oil traded on the NY exchange & perhaps also Brent Crude prices. When oil was trading at or...

    I live in Canada and Toyota doesn't consider Canada severe service. I've never been told that by a dealer..I just had the oil changed and the next oil service sticker says Nov 14 roughly on the windshield. Our owners manuals give both options as far as service goes just like you folks...

    Good morning, the appointment went well. They did perform the service and there wasn't any charge. I watched the mechanic drain the oil, remove the filter etc & he went over the underside of the car looking for any problems, checked the tire pressure. They said it doesn't matter to them that I...

    First oil change?

    Evening to everyone that responded & thanks a lot for furthering my knowledge. I hate the idea of wasting oil, but I can't seem to get that old way of thinking out of my head about making the first oil change a lot sooner rather than later.

    First oil change?

    Morning folks, we bought a 2015 corolla at the end of March & included was 4 years of "free" oil lube & filters. My question is simple enough for a lot of you but we're getting up there & I haven't kept up with the times when it comes to oil changes. I set up an appointment for tomorrow...

    Is it too late to change tranny fluid?

    2010 Corolla Automatic. 33,000 miles on it. The car went into service the end of October 2010 so that's 3 years & 8 months. Someone mentioned if it hasn't been changed every two years or 24,000 kilometres or around 15,000 miles, transmission fluid shouldn't be changed because it could cause...
