15y old on original 12V battery is not common , but more than 10y old is not uncommon. Mine and my colleagues original Yuasa AGM lasted more than...
Autozone and Advanced Auto do battery test for free
Just to add and wake old thread up. My battery is made in Oct 2015, so 10y now, 119k miles. It is Yuasa 35Ah for Auris/Corolla station wagon...
The CCA test is often simply load the battery at certain Amps with a giant graphite resistor and see how much voltage drop is.
Yes, Tony said he replaced just the tensioner, not timing chain. It was much easier. He said he heard rattle in a cold starts for split of second...
CCA test is a very good way to test a fully charge battery health. A bad battery won't supply enough current and maintain voltage on high load,...
The low tension piston rings in 1.8L is also observed in regular Corola 2009-2014 models. Toyota indeed redesigned piston and rings for 2ZR-FXE...
Catch Me If You Can = Catch Can. It indeed does something, catching mixed water, fuel, and oil from the blowby. It varies depending on how much...
All chemical degradation accelerate with temp exponentially ~ Exp(const/T) in Kelvin. That's why the dye colors change in the engine is faster and...
Burning rate increase at higher speed significantly. The problem with burning oil to some of the toasted engines are permanent scaring on the...
Good to hear, they are improved over the 3rd gen significantly
I am curious if a new battery pack for gen 3 already used gen4 cells inside.

For Turbo charged car, I won't use thinner than 0w20. Even Toyota recommend 0w20, not 0w16 for their Turbo engines. The 0w8 is a special oil that...
It does not affect much because the 2ZR-FXE engine already has the buffle before the PCV Valve. People like to believe that PCV valve is the...
Changing the engine oil every 5k-7k miles instead of 10k miles with fully synthetic 0w20 or 0w30 is probably the best investment to keep the...
I think blue coolant is Ok. Honda, Subaru, Nissan etc. uses the same exact phosphated HOAT like SLLC but with blue dye instead of pink. It...
Thanks @rjparker, 25% is a great discount. Tire size (width) indeed affects the braking performance a lot more than disc size alone.
