Buying Toshi and preparing for the vacation! - Toyota Corolla, 1.6 L, 2005
Hello everyone ! )
The purchase history is in my personal blog, so I will not repeat myself, (I will write briefly that the registration was successful, I did everything in one day, the registration cost 1,800 rubles, the next day, the technical inspection coupon of 300 rubles was also promptly changed. forgetting the insurance at RESO cost 3088 rubles plus 1080 rubles plus 5191 rubles!)… the car was bought with the expectation of a trip on vacation… and before a long journey the car must be prepared)!
There is a chain in the engine! one less concern, the belt of the attachments seems to be still alive, and so it must walk up to 100 thousand km, the pads are in good condition, the camber decided not to make the condition of the tires does not raise any questions, I checked the level of antifreeze, brake fluid! But the oil level in the box cannot be checked there is no dipstick! I had to trust the quality and not worry about the box) but at the oil change I looked for leaks from the box)!
As a result, I decided to change and make ...
1. Of course, Castrol 5W-30 oil 1700 rubles, a filter of 240 rubles, plus a change of 500 rubles (no garage!)
2. I went to check the pressure in the wheels and found a screw in the front wheel! hello tire service and 270 rubles!
3. It was decided to go on a long journey in a sparkling clean car, so we washed ourselves for 270 rubles with rugs!
4. Yes, I also bought a low-beam lamp in reserve, just in case, I probably don't remember 200 rubles))! (she never got it)
! I also want to remind everyone, do not forget to check the compression of the wheels ... which I did, too, extended all the nuts)!
Well, that's all ... now we sat down on the track and forward ... and I am already writing this blog from the end point of the trip ...))
In existe, Toyota oil SM 5W30 in iron cans of 1,400 hazel grouses - I recommend it, I have already made three shifts, there is less chance of a fake, we had a 3-year-old liner on our Saab, I took it to St. Petersburg for repairs, it turned out to be Mobil oil - a fake , took in the auto parts store!
Yes thank you! I just took them from them only decided not to change Castrol so as not to flush the engine when switching to a new oil, but I do not exclude that in the future I will switch to Toyota oil.
Was the level of antifreeze only checked? Mine is 2 years old in October, has to go to +35, should I change it? The level is normal, topped up only once 100 milliliters probably, it doesn't seem to get very hot, mm
I only checked the level, since I have a Toyota branded antifreeze designed for 160 thousand km. mileage, so you need to look at the recommendations of your manufacturer! As for whether it will be heated, as far as I know, it will not be heated even on a bad one ... there it seems like it just starts to corrode and corrode just a liquid with everything you can? )
