How about 1,000,000 miles? With proper maintenance combined with cutting-edge AMSOIL synthetic lubricants, it can be achieved! :)

Regarding maintenance costs, I once had a customer who owned a 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix with bucket seats, console and T-tops. The car was blue with a white interior and had only 38,000 miles. It was gorgeous! The only problem was that the car had been sitting in storage for many years and...

A good Toyota dealerships Service or even Parts Department might be the best place to get correct information on this, and/or maybe contact the company that you purchased this swap kit from. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

By the way, with the fluid registering at the minimum mark on the dipstick, this indicates a leak somewhere in the power steering system. Find that leak before the low power steering fluid leads to a burned out power steering pump or even a burned out rack and pinion unit which usually costs...

Ah, I missed where you mentioned both cars being equipped with standard transmissions. Regardless, standard transmissions also have a lubricant that should be periodically replaced. In the case of the standard transmissions in your Corolla's the lubricant is a 75W-90 gear lube and that should...

By the way, your Corolla requires an automatic transmission fluid that meets or exceeds Toyota T-IV specifications - http://www.amsoil.com/mygarage/vehiclelookup.aspx?url2=2005+TOYOTA+COROLLA+3

It depends a lot on what maintenance has been done already or not, beyond what you have listed. It's a good idea to replace the fuel filter at least every 50,000 miles, along with new transmission fluid and filter at the same mileage. Spark plugs are important as are the spark plug wires, if...

To be sure, check it yourself. If it's really brown, it may not have been changed in that entire 99,000 miles accumulated on your car and if that's the case, transmission damage may have already occurred.

By the way, why did they recommend a transmission flush? What did they base their recommendation on?

"Toyota teams fluid", is not manufactured by Toyota, but an oil company independent of Toyota, to Toyota Type T-III or T-IV specifications, just as is any other transmission fluid that meets those specifications, it merely has a different brand label. The key here is to understand that...

Welcome aboard! :)

If a transmission is already on its last legs, a flush wont help it. Inspect the transmission fluid and see if it looks discolored. Use a clean paper towel, remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it on that paper towel and see how the transmission fluid appears. If it's a nice rosy red/pinkish...

Any brand of transmission fluid is perfectly fine to use as long as it meets or exceeds the Toyota transmission fluid specifications of Toyota Type T-III or T-IV specs. As long as the fluid meets those Toyota specifications, it will do a fine job. No need to pay through the nostrils for...

Fuel economy will go into the toilet.

The Federal Trade Commission has stated that there are not any fuel economy benefits with higher octane fuels. It's a waste of money.

My pleasure to be of assistance. When you'd like to move up to the quality, cost savings and performance of AMSOIL synthetics, let me know and I'll take care of you.

Using E85 fuels, it is particularly beneficial and wise to use a top performing synthetic oil such as AMSOIL Signature Series. Oh, by the way, there's a speck of dust on one of the valve covers on that engine. :D

Considering the bumper is a huge safety item, I recommend sticking with the sturdy, stock bumper and not a lightweight racing bumper that might not be able to provide the impact protection that the original equipment bumper is designed to.

A P195/65R-15 has an overall diameter of 25" and a section width of 7.2". A P205/70R-15 has an overall diameter of 26.3" and a section width of 8.2". A tire 1.3" taller could very well hit the vehicle, will increase its ride height, increase its center of gravity and reduce its handling...
