    2011 Camry Using 1 Quart Every 1,000 Miles

    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

    I Destroyed My Transmission Pan

    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?

    Purolator One Air Filter And OId Stock?

    Perhaps a silly question but I just bought air filter for my 2005 Corolla. I bought a Purolater One air filter off of Amazon and just noticed that it was produced in 2017? Is it safe to use? It seems the build quality is a little better than the cheap Fram one I will replace. Thanks

    Westlake Tires?

    I only drive about 6,000 miles per year. My tires were approaching the 9 year mark on my 80,000 mile, 2004 Corolla. They seemed to have some major cracks from the harsh Winter and Summers of Chicago. I've been a little strapped for cash so I bought new Westlake tires f rom Discount Tires. It...

    Driving With The The Low Fuel Light On......

    I figure with the record gas prices some folks may be struggling to fill their tanks. I have a 2005 Corolla with 90,000 miles. Chicago gas prices have hit over $5 a gallon. I'm curious just how damaging this is to the fuel pump? I imagine running out of gas repeatedly could be damaging? Thanks

    Time Verses Mileage On Oil Filters........

    I don't drive too much anymore. I recently put only 1,500 miles in the last 6 months on my 2005 Toyota Corolla. I just changed the oil and left the, new version, Super Tech filter on. I will change it 6 months from now. So will this filter be okay with 5,000 miles on it and 1 year of use? Does...

    Low Gas Light Indicator Issue

    I have a 2005 Corolla with 80,000 miles on it. It was previously owned by a priest who rarely drove it. Due to the high cost of gas at the moment and my financial situation, I find myself driving with the "low gas" light indicator on. Does anyone know how many miles I have left to drive when it...

    2004 Toyota Corolla Transmission Drain & Fill?

    So I changed my oil today using QS High Mileage 5 30 and a supertech filter. I also did a "drain and fill" on the transmission using the proper Valvoline Max Life Fluid and sucked out 1 quart from the dipstick. The drain and fill itself got about 3.5 quarts out. Does anyone know how much more is...

    Purolater Premium Red Ones???

    So I have $5 worth of Menard's credit and wondering if the Purolater Premium (Red Box) still has the tearing issues. Have they finally fixed the tearing issues? My other option is the $3 Supertech filter. Money is tight right now. This will be a 6 month and 3,000 mile OCI. Thank You

    Does anyone know if Purolater still makes the Menard Quaker State oil filters that are like less than $3 bucks? I was thinking of using one for a 4,000 mile or 6 month OCI. Thanks

    The Mods Are Cowards Here....

    Instead of being a real man you guys let me post the last few weeks. You are such cowards that you cannot tell me to my face what you deem is necessary? You guys are pathetic and I laugh. Get a better anti-virus. But like Gen. MacArthur said, "I shall return". You're censorship is a bit like...

    2001 Toyota Corolla Question.

    I inherited a 2001 Corolla with 175,000 miles on it. It burns about 1 quart every 3,000 miles. Is Lucas Oil Stabilizer something that can work. I'm skeptical of all those high milage stuff.
