You can change the engine oil yourself, but for the first maintenance of a new car, it is recommended to have it replaced at a 4S shop. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Four-stroke engine oil: The viscosity grade classification of four-stroke engine oil follows the classification of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The winter oil grades in the SAE lubricant viscosity classification are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The symbol W stands for winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. 2. Two-stroke engine oil: The viscosity grade classification of two-stroke engine oil also follows the SAE classification. Two-stroke gasoline engine oil has two viscosity grades, namely SAE20 and SAE30. Generally, SAE30 is selected. However, for separate lubrication, use in cold regions, or ultra-light-duty two-stroke engines, SAE20 is used.

What Causes the Transmission Noise in a Corolla?

Toyota Corolla transmission noise can be caused by issues such as noise when in neutral or noise at low speeds. Below is an introduction to the causes of transmission noise in a Toyota Corolla: 1. Noise when in neutral: If there is noise from the transmission when in neutral, and the sound disappears when the clutch is depressed, it is usually due to wear or looseness of the front and rear bearings of the transmission's first shaft, or noise from the constant-mesh gears. 2. Transmission noise at low speeds: If the transmission makes noise when the vehicle is moving at low speeds, and the noise persists during acceleration and gear shifting, it may be caused by poor gear meshing within the transmission.
