as for the oil i suggest you keep the oil changes every 5,000 kms even with fully synthetic. we might be risking oil sludge for our DVVT-i engines.

+1 on this. we still don't know if the 1.6 ZR engines is as sludge sensitive as the ZZ. I'm guessing it's not. But we don't want to find out the hard and painful way. For my ZZ engine, aside from the every 5k kms oil change, I suck and replace around 1.5-2 liters of oil every 2.5k kms in between oil changes. I've used only TGMO mineral oil since the beginning. Here's how I "suck" the oil hehehehe.

yeah I have the same gut-feel on this engine.

another way of preventing oil sludge is to have shorter interval for oil change. i know someone who is having his altis oil changed every 3K km using mineral oil. another alternative would be is to do oil change using fully synthetic oil every 5K km, but change oil filter every 2.5K km. just top up with fully synthetic oil to maintain optimal level. this can be done DIY.

Marami akong narinig na problems about dun sa whisteling sound ha.. Mayroon din akong problem na ganito nung bago palang ung altis ko, ang solution inalis ko ung sticker na white na nakakabit dun sa magkabilang side mirror, nawala na ung pumipito after nun.. kumokontra ata sa hangin kaya pag mabilis ang takbo, nag crecreate ng whisteling sound..

Anyway, may question lang ako regarding sa altis natin mga bro.. Possible ba ipa facelift ko ung 3rd gen altis ko to 3.5 gen like ung mga bagong altis ngayon? Medyo type ko kasi ung itsura, at bitter ako nung nabili ko ung 3rd gen ko nung 2010 kasi after a month lumabas na ung bagong facelift ng altis. Hehehe pahingi naman ng advice mga bro

[<smash>]

smash magkano inabot pa retrofit ng altis mo? 2011 model ba yung syo?

yes 2011 model ung altis ko. I'll pm the cost but best to have garyq give a quote.

Bro do you mean the 10th gen? you'll need new head lights, tail lights, front bumpers with new fog lamps, new rear bumpers, and the new trunk chrome. probably worth around 50k. just my estimate.

Hi Corolla users!

Any of you guys own a 1.6 MT Corolla? I'm just curious what RPM the engine runs when cruising along on the highway at about 100km/h? At 6th gear.

I've driven a 1.6e 6speed m/t. at 100kph rpm is around 2.5k rpm.

I've driven a 1.6e 6speed m/t. at 100kph rpm is around 2.5k rpm.

nice! significant difference from the 5speed M/T, 100kph is at 3K rpm. how's the fuel consumption of the 6speed variant?

[JACKSON]

based on our computation, 15-16km per liter. This is on highway driving. I didn't get a chance to compute it for city driving

wow that's pretty good sir...
