Toyota Corolla uses engine oil with specifications of 0W20, 5W20, and 5W30. Among them, 0W20 and 5W20 oils have better fluidity and stronger lubrication capabilities, making them suitable for most environments. If the vehicle is older, 5W30 oil can also be used to ensure better engine performance. The Toyota Corolla is a compact car launched by FAW Toyota, with dimensions of 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 85kW, paired with a CVT (simulated 10-speed) transmission.

As a long-time Corolla driver, I always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Typically, the newer Corolla models perform best with 0W-20 synthetic oil, which improves fuel efficiency and engine protection. But don't just focus on the viscosity rating—check the manual for year-specific differences, as pre-2015 models sometimes use 5W-20. I've tried several brands and found Mobil or Castrol oils meeting ILSAC GF-6 standards work well, ensuring smooth cold starts and stable lubrication at high temperatures. Regular oil changes every 5,000 km are crucial, and I always inspect the oil quality to prevent dust from clogging the filter. If you live in a cold region, 0W grades are better; in tropical areas, a slightly thicker oil may be suitable, but never switch grades arbitrarily. Ultimately, trusting the manual helps avoid engine damage and saves on repair costs—good oil keeps your car running farther and smoother.

What is the difference between Toyota Prado H4 and L4?

"H4" stands for High-speed 4WD, while "L4" stands for Low-speed 4WD. Here are the relevant details: 1. Usage Difference: High-speed 4WD is suitable for driving on gravel roads, muddy surfaces, snow, and sandy terrain. The maximum speed is generally limited to within 80 km/h. Low-speed 4WD provides higher torque, making it more powerful, and is suitable for off-roading, climbing steep slopes, descending steep inclines, and escaping difficult situations. It is rarely used for continuous driving. When using 4L, it's best to start in 1st gear and avoid shifting to gears higher than 2nd, while also keeping the speed relatively low. 2. Four-Wheel Drive (4WD): "4WD" refers to a vehicle that maintains four-wheel drive throughout its operation, with the engine's output torque distributed to the front and rear wheels at a fixed ratio. This drive mode ensures good off-road and handling performance at all times but cannot adjust torque distribution based on road conditions and tends to have higher fuel consumption.

Why doesn't the electric vehicle light up after inserting the key?

Here are some reasons why the electric vehicle lights may not turn on: Relay failure: If all the lights do not turn on, there is a high probability of a wiring issue or a problem with the relay switch. If only one light does not turn on while the other does, it is most likely a bulb failure or poor contact. Fuse damage: When the headlights fail to turn on, it could also be due to a blown fuse causing an open circuit. Insufficient battery power: Turn the ignition key to the 'on' position; for one-button start models, press the start button twice without stepping on the brake. Turn on the headlights, and if the light noticeably dims or does not turn on at all, and the horn sounds significantly weaker than usual or does not sound at all, it can be judged as insufficient battery power. In such cases, you can seek help from nearby vehicle owners for emergency measures such as jump-starting, borrowing fuel, or towing.
