FAQ – Toyota Corolla Engine Oil
Toyota recommends changing your engine oil every 7,500 miles. Still, your driving habits will determine how often you need to do so.
The 2018 Toyota Corolla uses 0W-20 of engine oil. This synthetic oil works between -20 and 100 F. 0W-20 protects against overheating and friction and improves fuel efficiency. Thinner than others, synthetic it’s less likely to be changed as often as conventional oil.
The 1.8-liter engine powering the Toyota Corolla and the oil capacity is 4.4 quarts.
Regarding lubricant selection, Toyota prefers Denso or Purolator. Still, you may use any brand as long as it has the API certification logo. Use either conventional or synthetic oil, but keep in mind that conventional oil is less efficient at lubricating the engine and will need more frequent oil changes.
The new Toyota Corolla is available in a variety of trim levels. The SE, L, LE, LE Eco, XSE, and XLE are all part of this lineup.
So that’s it. It’s pretty simple, you know. If you messed up the first time, just redo it. I hope you have enjoyed this content; you can rate, comment on and share your story of how you reset your maintenance-required light. So thanks for reading!
