Default Re: Welcome to TundraSolutions.com! - New Members/Corolla Owners Introduce Yourself H

I have an 07' tundra sr5 double cab and just bought an 09 Corolla LE. With 120 miles on it am averaging only 32.2 mpg and hopefully averages 35-36 mpg once broken in in 1-2,000 miles. Interesting to note a lot of 09' Corolla owners are having oil consumption above average with the now recommended 0w-20 oil where I think last years 1.8L was rated at 5w-30 with very little oil consumption. It is sights like this that are valuable where owners report issues with their vehicles for all to know to help others. I will be religiously checking my oil every 500 miles or so to make sure I am not losing a quart every oil change. If so, I will switch to 5w-30 and if still oil consumption-corolla is gone but lets hope not-so far great little car with just enough power and room to be adequate. Nothing fancy, just good enough to be a commuter car and nothing more.
