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.

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 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.

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!

[avedanut]

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!

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
