Welcome to the Corolla Forum! :thumbsup: :yes::):thumbup1::thumbup: Here, recovering gas-a-hogics can find peace.

The engine creating noise only when it's cold is a strong indication of a comparatively poor performing/lubricating petroleum oil being used. As the engine warms up, the oil thins out and begins to flow to metal engine parts starved of lubrication and presto, no more noise. The engine noise is...

The best color light to cut through fog for better and safer visibility is amber/yellow and lights that color are actual fog lights. Any other color is not a fog light.

Very good point! :thumbsup:

Graphite can leave nasty stains on clothes when the seat belt is used. Silicone wont cause that problem.

No brands are, "bad", per-se. Maybe a better question would be, which is the best brand that will save me the most money?

5W-30 is one of the most common oil viscosities of all. Contact the people at the link I left for you. A vehicles engine is worth thousands of dollars. Never select an oil on price, but on its performance. If you go long enough on oil change intervals you will discover that any engine...

No way to know without knowing where the leak is coming from and what is causing it.

By the way, by your description, it sounds like you aren't checking the oil level on the dipstick every few days, but are instead just driving the car waiting for the low oil light to come on. This can cause serious engine damage, because when that oil light comes on it's an indication that...

For your 2005 Toyota Corolla, Toyota engineers prefer the 5W-30 viscosity. Virtually no car in the world comes with the 10W-40 viscosity anymore and it's almost obsolete. A thicker oil like a 10W-40 will reduce fuel economy, reduce power, increase engine wear, increase emissions, reduce throttle...

You could try a silicone spray on it and see if that would help free up the seat belt retracting mechanism.

funrunner - I've been meaning to respond to your post, but with the brutally cold temperatures this winter, I've been very busy with my AMSOIL synthetic lubricants business and I haven't been able to respond. Even now it's 1:30 at night. Sorry. First of all, much of the advice you've been...
