Our Engine Oil Dipstick is differentiated by its long-lasting handle. Does soot up the tailpipe though. I have yet to uncover the issue at hand, but i do know the motor is the normal 1,8 V4, and it came out of a 2000. Best to start with the factory recommendations, then experiment for yourself afterwards. Its expensive and time consuming to keep adding oil to this thing.
Hope that helps you guys in the future. Based on what I've been reading, it seems a waste of money to have a garage repair or replace the engine because the problem will just happen again. So filled and i will keep an eye on it from this point. With the oil drained from the sump, plug still removed, I positioned the pistons all half way up in the cylinders and poured some of the chem dip into each spark plug hole overnight, some rocking of the crank. You never know what could be dripping down from the engine, battery acid, engine coolant, brake fluid, etc.
When you change your own oil, you know that you are putting quality oil in your Corolla and that the filter is being changed too. The part number for the redesigned pistons is Toyota part 13101-22142. That said - engine oil consumption, especially with high mileage motors, is considered normal operation. I have put 1k miles on the car. I see a post that thicker oil isn't the best idea.
Although I had the slight embarrassment of the wife finding the filter for me when I was scrabbling around under the car trying to find it. I only notice the car slightly smokin on startup. And then they act like you dropped your pork burrito in the Golden Mosque. Is it bad for the engine or simply it eats more of it while operates? The car now has 120,000 miles and oil usage varies between 1000-1500 miles per quart. I see here that this type of oil is not recommended for this engine.
The compression has been restored to 165 across all, up from 135 - 155. Its the porting holes on the piston itself. After a compression test confirmed my suspicions, I had my wife pick up some Chem-Dip carburetor soaking solution and some atf on her next trip to Walmart. Right now the run is running smoother since doing that. It got cross threaded so it won't seal. Thirdly, pour in oil additives upset the delicate chemical balance of a motor oil and can have unplanned and negative affects.
Vvtenfine and aluminum air intake. Have someone else do this for you, or vice versa and watch the tailpipe closely for blue smoke pouring out. Thanks Is it a repair shop who change ur oil or some kinda lube oil change service franchise.

So i went ahead with a full motor transplant - personally participated in- then the trans went on it, so 3000 grand in parts and all she has a new motor and trans with only 50,000K each. I have 4 cars from toyota, my family is toyota heads.
The serpentine belt is still in good shape! After about 2 weeks, my oil light came on and i checked my oil to find it was low. Bought this 1998 Corolla brand new, has less than 55,000 miles and now suddenly has no oil reading on the dip stick. In some climates and driving conditions, you will benefit from synthetic motor oils - for all others, very little gain. The exhaust has a leak up front, most likely the doughnut gasket. This spring I have made it a point to replace the belt, spark plugs, and water pump. This cleans up a lot of the carbon buildup in the throttle body and intake.
I am not seeing afterwards. Hello, I've noticed that almost all of the oil is gone from my 2000 Corolla 1. To verify if your Corolla has this problem, quickly rev the engine up to 4,000+ rpm, release the accelerator and back several times and then look to see if a blue cloud of smoke has been created from the tailpipe of the car. I couldn't believe the oil stick was completely dry until I read all the complaints. Every two weeks it got low so i knew it was burning oil. After few hours the drops are dried out in the ground. Bought the car the 1st week of this month Sept 2014.
I'm buying oil almost like I'm buying gas. I also used a can of the seafoam cleaner and lub in the throttle body. We done tons of this repair after some1 stripped the threads. This is also little towards the passenger side. Oil additives can have unplanned and negative affects, like potentially damaging the catalytic converter , and upset the delicate chemical balance of a motor oil. So I will put in the oil it asks for.
Pour in oil additives are not recommended, as they upset the delicate chemical balance of the motor oil and can have unplanned and negative affects. Any information will be highly appreciated. Additionally, Ive been through a starter and brakes, understandable repairs. If we are in the car when it happens we let it go to the next position in the firing order and step on the brake pedal and it stays there. When i filled it, I did put in some Engine Restore and Lubricant. Personally I would use a semi synthetic such a grade as 10W 40, 5W 40, 10W 50 or 5W 30 as parts chap said. Each manufacturer has their own proprietary recipe for the additive package, but they accomplish basically the same thing.
