My car is quite low and I use it for Uber., I have lost one fog light, broken bumper and my exhaust pulled. Is it advisable to raise a corolla sport a little bit? I love the balance of this car when I'm driving 120km/h. I hope it won't affect the balance if raised a bit?
Buy tire 205/70/R15 and u will be okay and thank me later
sooperrescue: As you can see, these 3 engine oils quoted are European oils and the fourth oil is Favoil from the Uk which I have tested on both a Range Rover and a Toyota. On a Rangerover, It dried up after a month while on the Sienna, six months after , no shortage. The sienna is a 3.5 engine while the Rangerover is a 4.4 engine. I have used addinol for all brands and it’s still the same level. Liqui Molly is now SN plus but I am yet to access it properly
2006 Toyota corolla u mentioned, Toyota didnt say we shd use synthetic oil but 5w30. Addinol German oil u stated here are not in US and if d oil is good as u stated American we buy them. I will only advised to use what's good for your engine. U stated u recommended Mobil 1 to 2013 Toyota camry owner but d oil dried up after 2 months but not all 2013 Camry dried up after six months but depend on wears and tear in d engine. In conclusion use what's good for u and most important is d viscosity of d oil if d oil is genuine and that's my opinion.
nurey: My Boss own is 2 years and still kicking, I guess you can buy the Auto if the individual is not ready to use manual especially if it would be driven in Lagos
@Oga Nurey, Pls I need your mobile no but I have check your signature here but I didn't see it, Pls say hi to me on WhatsApp no 08038636424
Grupo: One thing you have to know is that almost every car of that age will burn oil to an extent.
My car is a 2007 corolla. And I observed that it burns about a liter of oil every 1,500 miles.
This means if I change oil now, before I cover 1,500 miles, the oil will be nearing the lower end of the dipstick.
They said I'd have to change my valve oil seals. But I'm not ready to tamper with my perfectly running engine for now. So I let it be.
The oil consumption is not that drastic in my case.
If your own oil burn is not that drastic, I'd advise you to leave it and top off the oil when needed.
Moving from mechanic to mechanic may be counter productive.
And even if you buy a tokunbo engine now, there's no guarantee it will not burn oil simply due to the age of the engine.
Problem no dey finish. Learn to manage and live with some. Instead of trying to solve them.
Its a good advice if you can still manage it cos if u buy new engine, it may still short but my Toyota corolla 2006 doesn't short oil even with Mobil 1 EP at 5000 miles and I have gone up to 6500miles without adding a single engine oil b4 I change it but d car have gone to Ondo from Lagos during this period. Car history report is very important whenever u want to purchase car and always go for low actual mileage

BarrSly: Yea but I’d rather waste my money on QUALITY than having to consider full engine replacement because I wanted something cheaper..
I mean even Castrol is damn expensive so what are you then suggesting?
Those selling quality engine oil, we tell u if your car is tokunbo then buy expensive or foreign quality oil but if u have been using Naija 20w50 for long just continue using d oil cos u have abuse d engine already. To my main point, the engine is shortened oil but Mobil 1 is not d solution to short of oil cos I still repeat that d engine will still short oil with Mobil 1 of 25K, y wasting money on that, its better to continued using d previous oil until d engine is pack off or if he can rebuilt d engine, he or she can start using d quality oil u talked abt.
OfficialSam: What is this one saying? Which Corolla of 2006 isn't a high mileage vehicle in 2019, as at when i bought it? And what's so special about Corollas aside fuel economy? Is it the unending bad shocks? Or the bland and boring handling on highways?
I disagreed with u bro, Corolla is a bad market for all mechanics, u can confirm my statement from any mechanics in your area. All those faults u stated above not meant for good corolla unless u bought lemon or junk car
Pls don't waste your money on Mobil 1 cos I'm 100% sure that your engine will still short oil but just fix d code and continue using your previous oil.
grandlexuz: Your write up is biased and totally leaning towards the female gender. I don't see how kids living with their dad amounts to being abandoned by their mum. When my wife abandoned me three years ago I Iived with my kids for two years in a different town, taking care of their every needs even with deteriorating health condition. The had a phone of their own through their mum could reach them directly. During holidays I made sure the visited her..
When parents separate it is very important both parties get involved in the upbringing of the kids. Getting involve doesn't just mean financially but by spending time and guiding the kids too. From the write up the lady wouldn't let the man be with the kids because of rumours that he plans to runoff with them. Why should a father not have his kids over?
The lady and the dad of the kids need to work out an amicable settlement irrespective of their differences for the betterment of the kids. Whatever the settlement both parties spending time with the kids should be a guiding factor. It is the responsibility of the man to pay his kids school fees and put the lady on an upkeep allowance for the kids if the settle for the kids to be with her. The man also deseves acess to his kids.
In Cameroon most well to do men stay with their kids after a separation especially if the woman eventually remarries. For a year now my kids have been with their mum because I have been very mobile. I pay their fees and buy their personal effects, I put their mum on a 300 US Dollars equivalent monthly allowance for their upkeep. I'm not wealthy and its an enormous sacrifice I do for my kids offcourse... Oops I forgot this story wasnt about me...Lol
The man write up is good idea. I supported d kids to b with d mother. Though it depend on d age of d kids, if their age is BTW 3-7 years and u expect d father to take d custodian of d kids which is totally wrong. As u said both parties need to settle in upbringing of those kids. Not all men is as good as u, There are some men, immediately she released d kids, d mother will never set her eye on them again. I know a woman that does what u said, its going to 15 years now, she never set her eye on her children. All their family have relocated to abroad. The family d woman know have relocated to Bayelsa and d woman doesn't know their family house in Balyesa.
Romanoff: To those telling him to let the father take his kids, if you were one of those kids, won't you resent your mother for abandoning you?
Wouldn't you ask that "what type of mother will abandon her kids?"
@Op, you knew she had kids when you married her, I know it's not easy, but you both will have to double your hustle. Get other side businesses, cut your coat according to your material.
If you'll need to downgrade their school, do so, if you'll need to move to a cheaper area, do so.
Do all you can to cut cost.
Those kids will never understand or forgive their mum in the future.
Use two side look the matter.
Another thing your wife can do is to take him to court, especially for child support.
Let her get a good lawyer if she wants him to care for his children.
MODIFIED
She can go through FIDA to sort out Co-parenting and child support agreement.
For those coming for me, if you're not capable of talking like a homosapien, don't mention me, cause I no well. I will drag you from here to Timbuktu. So come correct
God bless this man that wrote all this. From few I have read here. Pls take this advice and its a good advice. Mother of d kids shd not return d kids if she does, she's not a good mother in d future, cos thats what d man family will tell their kids in future that their mother follow man and abandon them.

I have a battery that came with my Toyota corolla in 2015 called Toyota Truestarter battery with 84 months warranty written on d battery and I'm still using it in this year 2021. Battery still good.
Samafroxy22: I was on my way home yesterday when i got a low oil pressure warning light on my dashboard. Since i was 2miles away, i kept on driving knowing when i must add or change the oil next...
When I got down to open up the gate i noticed a "knocking sound" from the engine haaa!...
I managed to park it parked the vehicle and noticed that oil had been draining. I tried checking where the drainage was coming from but i couldn't; was already to dark and the oil splashed all over the bottom engine parts including the front passenger side tire.... all the oil drained there cus when i dipped the guage stick in the engine no oil in it anymore...
I have called my mechanic, but couldn't sleep...
How bad can it get to drive a mile or 2 without oil?
And what could have caused the sudden leak?
You may have knock your engine but anytime oil sign trigger on dashboard, u shd stop d car and park well, then call your mechanic for proper examination in order to b on a safer side
obembet: Ogun state fire service department was seen using Jerry cans to refill their water truck as there was fire outbreak from a gas explosion on a bridge.
How could such a big Water tender of about 5500 liters be rifiled with just 25 liter keg? This video was taken during the fire outbreak that occurred on Tuesday 22nd June at ogere area of Lagos Ibadan express way.
The type of fire that is burning here is CLASS B & C FIRE which involves flammable liquid like, PMS, Diesel, LPG etc. These two classes of fire can't be fought or extinguish with ORDINARY WATER. As such, a chemical known as FOAM COMPOUND needs to be added to the water in order to fight the fire effectively.
And that is what the Firemen were doing before this quack journalist took their video shot.
THE WRITER IS A QUACK SENSATIONAL JOURNALIST DISHING OUT WRONG INFORMATION TO THE SOCIETY.
okoroemeka: ppg has computerized paint mixing office at agbani road, opposite police detective college,enugu,just ask anybody of chidi PPG,yes they use the paint code on the door to mix the paint,don't allow the panel beater to convince you,they may tell you to but original paint and China Gardner or varnish, don't listen to them,buy everything from there,for an average sedan budget #75-80k,I have used China paint before and swore never again,if I don't have money for original paint I will leave the car,imagine car paint scratches by tiny sand particles while just washing it with rag,
ramzylipi: Bro, I don't deal with Nigerian used Micra. I deal with Tokunbo and I will advise you go with tokunbo for your own sanity and rest of mind
Pls advice, which model of the Micra Automatic is very good for e- hailing business. Pls what is d best engine capacity shd I go for or common on foreign one
okoroemeka: if you want a very good car paint finish negotiate with the panel beater for smoothing and sanding only go and buy paint yourself,if you give a worker #200k he will go and still buy #40k China and Ghana paint product,I painted my Honda last 2 months the panel beater charged #35k and I bought paint and accessories for #76k at ppg,and the day he will spray I brought the paint and paid #5k to use an oven booth for 2 hrs,I was there until he finished painting I can't trust those guys they are mischievous,China paint will scratch if you just wash it with rag ,and fade in months.
Where did u get ppg quality paint. Pls can u give me their location and probably their fone number. Pls did you use car code on d car door to purchase d paint there? Thank you in advance.
OduduaDefender: I am experiencing the same with my 2007 Corolla. I just noticed since last month that my car has been consuming fuel more than it used to. I don't know what the problem is although my check engine light is on on my dashboard.
When last did you service your corolla b4 u notice car is consuming fuel, if d car has been service for long, Pls service d machine, your car will b okay to your normal fuel consumption.
DanielsParker: Will auto ease get the matching color? The panel beater that sprayed it told me it would match with time after severe exposure to sunlight etc. is that possible ?
He's right with time but don't just waste your money
Some1 requested for solution and u are advising him to sell d car. Corolla may b thieves magnet, Is it all d people using corolla thieves touch their car? Olorun maa se eru wa leru Ole .... Buy either spacer or catalytic converter. They are selling in Ladipo
