Авто/Мото
For anyone who has a Corolla 2003 - 2008 you own the greatest car ever built!
mine is over 300,000 miles and running strong ... Below are some great tips to help you maintain yours :)
Here are some things to check on your Corolla because over the years I've noticed these parts on my mine needing to be replaced around 200,000 miles
1. If your Corolla sounds LOUD when it's running it's almost always a Crack in the Exhaust Manifold, Not a big deal easy to replace, and makes the car sound new again,
And just looking at it isn't enough ... You have to remove the Exhaust Manifold to really inspect it because the crack runs along the welded seam in the middle,
Also, a great idea to replace both Pipe Gaskets on the Catalytic Converter .. There's one where the Catalytic Converter connects to the Exhaust Manifold
& another on the end where it connects to your Muffler.
2.If your Corolla is starting to waste more gas than normal it almost always needs a New PCV Valve or a new set of Spark Plugs & Ignition Coils ... Again easy to do!
also as a side note if you are at high mileage clean the Throttle Body, Mass Airflow & change the Air Box Filter Also helps ALOT!
3.Change your oil every time the maintenance light pops on usually it's around 5,000 ... I've always changed mine ZERO hesitation ASAP,
I've used the same Oil & Filter for the past 13 Years! Motor Oil Castrol GTX High Mileage 5W-30 75,000 Green Bottle Synthetic Motor Oil,
The oil filter I used is the OEM Toyota Oil Filter 90915-YZZF2.
4.Again if your Corolla is High Mileage and you Notice your oil getting low faster than normal it's most likely the Timing Chain Tensioner ... And i know that sounds Scary
But, it's literally only two 10mm bolts on the back of the engine to swap it out and you don't have to worry about adjusting anything at all ...
Over time what happens is the O-Ring goes bad on this part and leaks a little oil, So replacing it solves the issue.
5.Another thing that could cause your Corolla to leak some oil is the Valve Cover Gasket, Again EXTREMELY EASY to do and takes like 20 mins tops,
If you look where your Spark Plugs are and you see oil in those Spark Plug holes or drips of oil down the side of your engine it needs a new Valve Cover.
6.Okay, This one will Scare away some of you but, replacing the Catalytic Converter (IF YOU NEED TOO) I cannot stress how EASY IT IS!
omfg easily the easiest Catalytic Converter to replace ... FOUR 14mm BOLTS ... I kid you not ... oh yea and the O2 Sensor but come on so easy!
Side note I've purchased only OEM replacements and my method on getting one was simple, Go onto an app like offer up, etc, and look up Corolla Parts or Corolla Part cars
9 times out of 10 the person is parting their crashed Corolla and selling a perfectly good Catalytic Converter for NOTHING ... I paid $150 for a low mile Catalytic Converter and replaced it myself easy peasy!
7.It really doesn't matter what I tell you the Corolla is just EXTREMELY simple to work on and fix and the parts are extremely cheap ... if you have an issue with your Corolla and cannot figure it out let me know I've done it all to mine and fixed it myself everytime.
Thanks mate this is really helpful, I just bought my first car (corolla 2006 !) with 100000 miles on it. :D
Wow , thank you roller coaster addict for these AWESOME tips! I will definitely pass these on to everyone that owns a 03-08 Corolla! I agree with you and I STRONGLY recommend OEM parts, especially when it comes to sensors; helps keeping the check eng light off. Thank you for watching and all of your amazing tips and comments.

Thanks for all this information! I’m in the process of purchasing a 2012 Corolla LE with 96,900 miles for 10k tomorrow.
Thank you for this! Just bought a 2007 Corolla LE with 81K miles for $4K. I'll keep an eye out for these things!
@@dylanypiano1290 clean tittle? Great deal wont ever find this here im SoCal 😔
Scotty Kilmer approves !
You’re Scotty Kilmer?
@@takcleberry It's a given with corolla's
Scotty!!!!! Hahahahaha
Jejeje...that's funny
So do i
I have the same car (2003 model).
It has 287,000 km (173,000 miles) on it.
My mechanic friend says the thing's just warming up.
I have a 2006 corolla with 310 thousand ks and still going strong
I just bought a silver 2003 Toyota Corolla with 83k miles 🤩 best car yet
2006 with 150k miles, no sweat
This made me chuckle than I accidentally farted, ^o^
I bought my 2003 Corolla S with 140K miles in 2016. It has 215K right now and runs great. There are some must maintenance jobs these cars require if you want to keep it going (replacing intake manifold gasket with new orange one, for example).
I was really fortunate. Four years ago I bought a ten year old Corolla with only 65,000 miles on it for $6950. It had been on a dealer's lot for a month but nobody wanted it because it has a manual transmission, which was exactly what I wanted. Since then I've put on almost 50,000 miles and it has been great. It is by far the most reliable maintenance-free car I have ever owned, and I'm 71 years old so that means something. In 2021 I drove it from Minneapolis to Los Angeles, up to San Francisco, down to Arizona, over to Texas and up to Oklahoma City and then home to Minneapolis, and never had a single problem. At one point I got 41 mpg while driving 75 miles per hour. Wonderful, wonderful car. I'm thinking that this car will be my last.

Lol I got a 2003 with 150k miles for 1300
Very informative. I loved your perspective from a Central-American point of view. It really makes sense and changed the way I see high-mileage toyotas. Just got my 07 Carolla LE and I love it! Thank you.
Central America, Africa, India, and every continent in the world that has more backyard mechanics than actual repair shops are all great examples of this reliability of a Corolla and how poorly maintained, they still keep going!

My 2004 corolla has done 325,000 miles and still going great.
That's super impressive, my 2006 corolla has 185 thousand miles and I was Gunna sell it but I think I'll keep it to be honest
My 06 corolla has 264k and still running strong. Might need new shocks soon but that’s about it. How are yalls MPG? Mine isn’t the best. Maybe around 25mpg
@@michaelt9788 my car also gives 25mpg. I'm also going to change the shocks in December. Overall I'm very satisfied with this highly reliable car.
khawar khan a full tank gets me around 240-260 miles. It used to get more 325+. I just cleaned the air filter, hopefully it helps when I drive the car tomorrow
@@michaelt9788 on highways at 80mph I get get around 340 miles with a full tank till the reserves light turns on. City diving gives me very bad mileage at around 240 miles with a full tank.

I bought a 2004 Corolla in 2004. Never had a single issue with it. Just basic maintenance.
What I love about this video is that it’s not only informative, quick and entertaining, it also teaches you what to check for when buying a car. Thanks dude, I just picked up one of these things with 150k on it. here’s to a million miles!
Thank you so much for all your positive comments, it’s truly appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video and your comments. Congratulations on your 150K Corolla. Here’s to your 1,000,000 miles! Cheers 😎
I’m trying to get one with 137K miles on it. Any issues on yours? If any lol
Nothing major whatsoever. A few ac button lights go off sometimes but other than that it’s a perfectly functioning car that is easy to drive and fits into any parking space.
@@lyricsronen Oh yeah I bet. I’m trying to sell my Dodge Charger for one of these bc a needa commuter. They seem to be a lot smaller, reliable and better on gas. Thanks for sharing
I have an '08 Corolla. Aside from routine maintenance, a few simple issues and the starter, it's been trouble free. And whoa bro you're totally buffed out. I hope I can bulk up my arms and chest as much as you did. Good work!!!

When I was dispatched to Kabul, literally 80% of cars were corollas from the 80s and 90s, still going strong. Out of the other 20%, 15% were either Land cruisers, camrys, highlanders, saw a couple or Pruis' and yaris'. The rest of the 4% were usually Afghan government vehicles like a ford pick up. The remaining 1% was everything else

Can u sell this for me ?
Loved that blue color though.
wow thanks for sharing! My sister has always been pressuring me to get another car bc of my high mileage which is 264,000 2005 corolla but i refuse to bc I believe it will take me further to the high 500's but listening to your video is confirmation that it lasts much longer than that. This is great news! I'm just going to invest in redoing the paint and all cosmetic things to bring this old gal into the modern age. Cheers!

Great video.
Just bought a 2007 Corolla with 267,000 miles from a friend. One owner and he did minimal maintenance. I’m slowly starting to tune it up. Just washed the engine and will detail it a little more before I start a complete tune up. I’m thinking of giving it a fresh coat of paint since I have faith that it will be worth the investment.

ive got an 06 CE (with power windows and a spoiler lol) but im keeping an eye out for a nice LE with a sunroof and maybe some ABS brakes lol. Such awesome cars.
You stole that car. I’d say good luck. But you won’t need it
Change the oil every 5,000 miles and you'll get to a million easy. Some things start to break down and need replaced as you get to around 500,000 miles such as wheel bearings, and the alternator.
Another item that I recommend replacing is the air intake manifold gasket. It is a cheap and simple job - just make sure you replace it with the NEW part number. This gasket was notorious for developing air leaks which can cause the engine to run lean.

102,000
34.1 mpg winter
35.2 mpg summer
Good idea to change the transmission filter and drain and fill
Surprisingly good in the snow with half decent all season tires,
From Pennsylvania!
Do a European tune up once in a while, you will notice an improvement! 70-80 mph for at least 16 minutes on a good highway
The key to longevity is maintenance and is very important to keep up on oil changes
Great Video!! I Still Have My 04 Corolla S it's My Baby!! It Just Needs A New Paint Job!! I Noticed One Of The Things You Might Have Forgot To Mention is The Motor Mounts Wear Out And Need To Be Replaced But Are Very Expensive Parts And Labor. If Not Replaced The Stering Wheel Will Shake And Vibrate.
I agree with you Raymond about the motor mounts; yes they are expensive to replace when they need to be done. There are some aftermarket Motor mounts out there that are decent, but if someone can afford OEM it’s better to use them. Thanks for watching in your comments.

Does anyone else think the XRS out of the factory came with a lighter / maybe minimalist interior? If you notice the backseats in these LE’s were able to fold down. Which as the back seat in the XRS was just a big piece of foam that is bolted the chassis as well as the x brace once backseat is removed.
Another part that wasn’t on lower trims is the anti roll bar in the front. I know it’s nothing crazy but I just want to know if the x brace and roll bar even function in any way to benefit the chassis or was it just a selling point at the dealership?
front bucket seats from the xrs kinda look the same as the lower trims side by side but with bolsters which are slightly larger so you’re more secure. obviously they aren’t recaros but it’s a nice look with the blue hexagon shaped clothing trimming which match the door panels on all 4 XRS doors.
Very Rare Corolla you have! I worked for Toyota for almost 20 years and I could count on one hand how many XRS Corolla‘s we sold. A great car but just very low production in Toyotas mix of inventory. The brace in the back seat is truly for performance. Thank you for watching and your comments. Please be sure to subscribe for the latest content. Here’s to 1,000,000 miles on your Corolla, cheers! 😎

I've always been a firm believer in Toyota products; especially the Corolla. I own a 2016 Scion iM which is basically a Corolla. 41K when I got her, now I'm at 74k and I've had zero issues. My girlfriends mom has an 07 Matrix with 160k miles on it and it still runs like a champ with no problems other than the stock speakers crapping out. My coworker has an 08 has Corolla with 305,000 miles and he's had no issues with it. He's doesn't drive it much anymore because now he's semi retired but he wants to make it last at least 500,000 miles. His local mechanic assured him thats their goal.
What about Honda Civic?
That car is exactly like mine. I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla that I bought brand new. I just hit 200,000 miles on it. I just did a RUclips search to see if anyone else had had such a reliable car. I just have to say that this car has got me through thick and thin. It has been the most stable thing in my life. I would never get rid of it. And I've had several offers and turn them down.

My neighbors 244xxx mile Corolla was running strong when she hit a deer. I picked it up for $450 and ive been driving it as my personal car since. Just replaced the hood, grille, and radiator. The A/C and tire pressure monitor system are the only thing that have stopped working on it.

Got a 06'corolla with 241k miles rn too! Family keeps telling me to get new car but i love my rolla too much! Every mile it goes up i kinda take pride in seeing odomoter go up lol. Drain and fill tran fluid and oil changes every 3k. Lets see how long it lasts! :)
While I completely agree that Corollas are super reliable and well built, this particular model has been very well maintained and cared for. It looks like it was owned by someone who actually LIKES cars vs the people who simply see cars as a tool. I've lived in Florida 34 years and you're right, the sun can do some serious damage. Consistent maintenance on a car goes a long way. Great video! 👍🏼👍🏼

@@realcarreviews6021 What about Honda Civic reliability?
Welp, you certainly convinced me to keep mine! LOL. i only have about 130000miles on mine, however it is still an older car at 16years. I'll just do the brakes this winter and see how i feel next year :). Unfortunately I wont replace it with another corolla until they go back to the previous transmissions and not those CVT. I cannot stand how they sound when on a highway

My 2015 base model still came with the 4 speed automatic. I bought it 5 months ago with 90,000 miles. Paid $6,800 get one of those.
I’m so happy to have caught this video, just got rid of my Hyundai Sonata Hybrid limited edition, it ran great but, it was going through a battery every 3 months and was unreliable. I will be inheriting a 2003 Corolla with 30,000 miles on it and was well kept. I am so relieved knowing I will be driving the Corolla with cranking windows this next year wen I move! It looks like I will be very lucky to get it. It’s almost impossible to find a good transportation car now and the prices are crazy as of 11-21! Please everyone be careful this next year, the market will be flooded with flooded and salvage titles cars due to so much flooding here in the states as well as Canada, buyer beware and do a car fax report on any cars you are thinking of buying!

@@realcarreviews6021 Yes the OD did stop at 299,999 ... It's funny because i watched a youtube video about the OD doing that on corollas so when the time came & me and my GF were driving I looked and it was at 298,995 and I literally watched in hit the threshold and stop lol Also, i recently bought a 2007 Corolla S used with 198,000 on it ... So now I got two of them.
It’s crazy what the odometers just in those years of Corollas does that! Congrats on having 2 Corollas! Best cars ever built! Thanks foe your comments and sharing! 👍🏼🙏🏼😎

I wonder what's common problems like any misfires or anything like that? Or fuel injectors problems my Corolla I had gotten 185000. It's now just going on 200000. The only reason why I'm asking is because I don't see very many people posting videos on 06. By all means I'm not doing well at all financially I've had my car parked in a garage since. I've had number 4. Cylinder missing. I think ? BUTI was told it's the fuel injector. I have not yet been able to buy the part to fix it. But yes wonderful video I love my car drives really nice I mean it runs good still I hope I just don't have the money to fix it anyways I hope to look forward to the future seeing people put more videos out on these cars
Cleaning the injectors is definitely that about every 60K needs to be done. Glad you liked the video and your comments. Please be sure to subscribe for the latest content. Cheers 😎
One caveat: Take into consideration location where care is from. I am original owner of a 2003 Toyota Corolla (40,000 miles) yes just 40,000 in NYC. this place really tough on cars. The weather wreaks havoc on fittings and the streets are soooo bad. Pot holes everywhere, unavoidable tore up streets, stop and go traffic. and the dings and bumps when people park next to you. I am currently having the motor mounts and ball joints replaced because of failure due to the streets. Even with all that, it has been a very reliable and safe car and much cheaper to own and operate than replacing with new one. That is why we continue to repair and use the ol' fella.
My girlfriend just bought a 2019 Corolla SE with the 6 speed Manual. Guess shes a keeper.

My 2007 needed a new intake manifold gasket at around 100 k. $10 and maybe 30 minutes. At 180 k l replaced the belt tensioner pulley. $30 and 20 minutes work. Replaced the still working alternator just due to mileage.Also did a spill and fill twice on the transmission. That's it since new.

I used to own this car. 2004 Toyota Corolla at 340k miles. She was hit by some tourist in their rental car. Totaled! So sad. I replaced her with a 2008 Lexus IS 250 because I wanted an upgrade lol. Scotty Kilmer also really loves that Lexus IS model. One thing I miss about my Corolla? Gas mileage! It doesn’t use as much fuel as the Lexus I have now. Regular too, not premium.
The IS250 is also a great car too. I do agree with about the gas mileage and that it has to use premium fuel. My wife had one for years and she loved it. The Corolla is a awesome vehicle until some negligent driver decides to hit you. Thanks for watching and your comments. Please be sure to choose subscribe for the latest content. Cheers 😎

We are the original owner’s of a 2007 Corolla w/ 251,000 miles. The oil has been changed every 5,000 miles and routine maintenance has been done when recommended by mechanic. No major repairs other than replacing the belts and hoses last year.
We hope to get another 100-150k miles out of it!

Belts and hoses not major repair. Expected at 14 years old and should prevent a possible breakdown and will likely last another 14 years. Congratulations on a great vehicle.
241,000 miles means that engine has just broken in..I got a 1999 Toyota solara and I smile when I pass newer model domestic on the road break down 😁

Direct ignition? Spark plugless system? What does that mean? There's no spark plugs? Or did you mean there's no distributor cap with mechanical rotor?
This was my VERY first car.
Obviously as a first car it wasnt treated very nicely 😅.
I went into a ditch at decent speeds, I went over curbs a handful of times, I dinged and scratched it a few times and maintance as a broke Highschool and College Student was often done a little late or went unnoticed.
I had a timing belt snap on the highway, I waited SO LONG to do a Spark Plug replacement, Coolant was flushed once at 100,000 miles.
I put my 05 Corolla through hell and it took all of it like a champ!
I can't necessarily say I loved my car, but I sure can say I appreciated how strong and good it was.
Now Im older, I finally understajd maintence better and I've moved on to better/bigger cars but my Corolla will always hold lots of memoires!
Hit it hard!

I bought a 05 Camry almost a month ago. It has two check engine lights. I need a new gas cap and I need a new speed odometer thing. But really I don’t need those. The car will continue to run. First time I got these hilarious codes for any car I’ve owned. It’s truly amazing that all the car needs is a full detail and a full tune up. Just regular maintenance. Literally everything works on the car! Everything! No problems with the car at all. I’m falling in love with the car and it has 225,000 miles on it. But I want better. I love my car though! I paid 1500 bucks for it!
Addison Tharpe -They day life starts at age 40; I say the life of a Toyota starts 250K. The check engine light codes are most likely what you said for a fuel cap just, got to tighten that or get a new one. The other check engine light for the O2 sensor just an emissions thing which most likely none of us really need. Thank you for watching and your comments. Please subscribe for the latest content.

I read that at high mileage, the rings wear out and they start burning oil really bad; is this true or not? i ask cause i'm looking to buy one now. thanks
Kevin S. - I used to work for Toyota for 20 years as a General Sales Manager. I have seen hundreds of 200K + miles vehicles come in for service and that were traded. My experience has been that those vehicles that had regular oil changes and Basic Maintance didn’t have ring issues. If you are looking at one to purchase, be sure to go to the seller and have them do a “Cold Start” (a completely cold engine) . If a puff of white smoke 💨 comes out of the exhaust, then you have a oil burning issue. If no smoke, be sure to run a CARFAX to look at the intervals of maintenance and be sure the oil was done every 5,000 miles or 10K for synthetic.

It's true depending on the year. I had a 2001 that was junk. Burned 1 liter of oil a week. Engine only had 152000 km on it. My 2007 has currently 450000 km and doesn't burn any oil.
Gen 8s might do this (1997-2001). Problem was fixed w/ the Gen 9s (2002-2008).

@@realcarreviews6021 what part if Florida are you at?
@@slayerkid7 Home of Tom Brady and The Buccaneers, Tampa Bay!
Mechanic checking in from the south Pacific. Toyotas are bulletproof reliable. It all comes down to the philosophy they employ in the production process which is called "Kaizen" which means always improving and striving to be better. Just cant beat a toyota for long term reliability, especially there cast iron block diesel Landcruiser or Hilux. Those things will run to the moon and back
Taylor Livingston - Taylor, I love to brag about mechanics like yourself because you are the real expert on what is quality and what is garbage. Toyota has the Kaizen process down to a Art & Science. When people say that they have had “Good Luck” with a Toyota, I was correct them... “It’s not luck, it’s quality”.

If you buy a new $30,000 car you are destroyed financially when your car gets rear-ended at a traffic light. But if you buy an old 15-25 year Corolla for $2,000 to $4,000 there is no problems when your car gets hit, you just laugh, and go out and get yourself another 20-year old Corolla and drive it for another 5 trouble-free years.

Got my ‘05 Corolla S in Feb 2019 with 197k on it, currently at 217k all I’ve had to do besides fluids is front wheel bearings and a new starter. Car runs and sounds great and even is fairly peppy (I have the 5 speed) and this is coming from someone who has owned a WRX, S2000, and a Miata. Easily one of the best most solid cars I’ve had. Burning oil is common on this particular engine especially high miles and mine does, but maybe a 1/2qt per month nothing major just check it once a week at least.
Typical wear and tear, but not common with the oil burning 🔥. I have had a few oil leaks , but not burning. Could be a simple or quick fix. Thanks for watching and your comments. Please be sure to subscribe for the latest content. Cheers.😎
