Maintaining 97 Toyota corolla car

[znehdsky]

I'd suggest sticking to regular mineral oil (20W-40) and just change your oil every 5,000kms. The thicker oil is suggested for older car as there are lesser chances it will leak out through the old gaskets in your engine.

As a matter of precaution, change your timing belt (use an original timing belt then for the tensioner bearings, go for the Koyo brand). Change all your fluids (brake, coolant, gear, PS) and your fuel and air filters as well, clean the brakes, check the belts, hoses, underchassis, etc. A compression test can also help to check of your engine is in a healthy state.

*VinJ - with regards to Compression test? Pano ba yan? Could you describe plainly if ano ginagawa dyan? I'm handling kasi a 13 years old na 4AFE engine, baka need ko na din magpa compression test. Sensya na, newbie lang Thanks

Hi, am new here... just want to know kung ano gas type ba pwede for AE101 engine 96 toyota corolla gli? 93% or 95 % ba na mixture or unleaded lang? thank you very much...

Pards,

We have the same car type/model. I've been using SHELL Unleaded since nakuha ko yung car 8 months ago, 3rd owner ako. As per previous owner, yun lang din gamit nya since nakuha nila nung 2001. But I did try SHELL Premium twice, nung mabasa ko yung thread about E10 issues. Pero binalik ko din sa Unleaded given na oks naman pala E10 sa EFI engine. So far smooth pa din naman ride ko.
Just sharing some info...Thanks

Tawagan mo na lang ito Toyocars Motor Parts
Banawe Ave. QC.
712-0030
Mas mura presyo nila rito kaysa sa Casa
Hindi baling mahal ng konti kaysa naman pagagawa mo ulit at bayad labor ka na naman.
