PS. I live inToronto.

Hi, I am trying to determine the key number plate # for my 2011 Corolla. I have two key number plates, one with 4 digits (6941) and one with 5 digits (54309). I believe one of them is for an old Honda I do not have anymore. Which one is most likely for the Corolla? Thank you.

I agree that it could have been more accidental by a technician rather than deliberate. I was angry because I supported that shop for 25 years and expected better treatment. Thanks for you comments. This issue is behind me now. Take care.

If it was not done deliberately, then the assistant (he just started working there) who changed the oil must have twisted the perforated tube using a pair of pliers, believing that he had to do that to remove the filter; similar to what you suggested in the first instance. Of course, they are...

I have been using that shop for 25 years but the original owner passed away a few years ago. His son now runs the business but he is not as good as his dad. Seems to have lost some of his dad's customers.

No, I have had the car for 5 years now. Never had a problem with anything.

No, it is an automotive repair shop. Amazon sells an aluminum cap with the parts separately. The perforated tube is held by pressure by a locking tab. I now suspect that the mechanic deliberately released the pressure to make it appear faulty.

Thanks again. Will change mechanic. Take care.

I examined the old filter housing/cap and realized that the mechanic could not have pulled up the aluminum tube with a screw driver. The base of the aluminum tube was either glued on to the 4 black plastic tabs at the bottom of the housing or attached some other way I still cannot figure out...

Just for my own clarification. Since the metal part on the car ( picA ) is rigid, and the aluminum part on the cap (pic B) fits onto that and is held tightly by a spring in the aluminum tube in the cap ( pic B), should the aluminum tube still shake even though its base is not held down in the...

Thanks for replying and with pictures, too. He showed me the cap and I requested to see how it works, so he showed me the car, also. I suspected that he broke it and I asked politely how it could come loose, but he said it was a common problem with some other cars. I think he said BMW'S and...

I just took my 2011 Corolla for an oil change. The mechanic showed me the silver coloured metal tube inside was shaking. He made me change it at cost of $85? Was that necessary?
