Toyota Corolla 0W-20 oil - What's this about?

  • Re: Toyota 0W-20 - $9.50/quart? - What did you pay? [maarnold1775]

    Written by: mcdawgg on Mar 10, 2013 8:03:52 AM

    No, Toyota recommends a oil change every 10,000 miles with ow-20! NO. Only on the model year 2011 and newer Corollas. Yes, it would probably be fine, but since Toyota did not say it, they could deny a warranty claim.

    The pumps were bad in the 2009's. I had mine replaced under warranty in 2011 with 15,000 miles on then car. In fact, I didn't even ask, my Corolla was in for routine service when they replaced it, no questions asked. I don't believe it was a recall but there was a TSB issued for the 2009 water pumps.

    Hi econfused and sabdul, Your 2012 Toyota Corolas do not have auto headlights. Starting the engine will turn your daytime running lights on; however, your headlights will not turn on automatically at dark space. Look at the switch on your steering wheel, and you will see no auto option. Toyota stopped installing auto headlights with 2011 Toyota Corolla. 2010 Corolla has them, but not 2011-12 Corollas.

    You might not be right about that! Toyota changes the design of its cars on the second year after refresh, so I believe they will have 2012 Toyota Corolla in August 2011, and later on introduce completely new design 2013 Toyota Corolla in January-April 2012. This is just a guess; however, they have to do it, if they want to be competitive to new Focus, Elantra, Civic....
