Guys, I want to change engine oil in my cuore on my own for the first time.
Can anyone help me with the pictures of the whole process with the draining out procedure as well. And which oil shall I use?

Thanks in advance!

ok, first of all get total/shell/caltex 20w-50 oil. after a trip when engine is hot, remove oil drain plug and drain. remove old filter, remove cap from new pack of oil. fill cap with oil. from cap apply oil to filter's rubber seal and pour rest inside new filter. clean filter's place with cloth.(mechanics dont do it) place filter and tighten with hand. pour new oil inside and its done.(pour only 2.25 and check level and make it till F mark) mechanics pour 2.8 which is too much)
take lot of care when draining. i got it spilled on floor twice and it was a pain to clean.
i dont have photos for now but if anything is not clear i will make it clear with photo.

Sir, Its so nice of you to explain in detail. But as I told you I am doing it for the first time If I can get the pictures of the oil filter and place of drain plug. I would be really grateful.

And one more query, actually I have auto cuore, I usually drive it alone. But when sometimes my family or friends came along and If the car has 4 people, Its soo heavy to drive. Its on CNG.
What could be the reason and how can it be resolved?

its normal for a small car to be bit heavy when there r 4-5 people. Also on CNG car has less power. but if it is too much, ensure CNG kit is tuned, engine is tuned, timing is proper, all wheels roll smoothly and get alignment done.

better would be if u first observe someone doing it before you try to do it yourself.

Switched on headlights caused rpm down around 40% and more force required for initial start
Its generator prob or some things else

generator or wiring probably. very strange although.
normally headlights and radiator have almost no effect on rpm.

Don't know about coure but I remember that carby cultus use to have a vaccum advancer just to accommodate the rpm with alternator load (head light etc)

Can somebody guide me on where the Cuore's coolant overflow pipe is? I can see only 1 pipe that cycles coolant from the reservoir to radiator but there is no pipe coming back from radiator towards overflow tank

a small pipe starts from right side of radiator and goes down (and disappears). then it connects to reserve tank's bottom. anyway there is difference in models.

Coolant reservoir has no marking of Min and Max - how much do you guys suggest the reservoir should be filled on a Cold engine and cold coolant? I am asking this question as there is no Full mark visible to me on the reservoir

The max. Mark is there on the reservoir tank.
Bit downward, at approx half of its height.

Looking down the reservoir I can see a constricted rectangular part when it ends above it is a more roomy boxy part and above it is the reservoir CAP. currently iam keeping the level of coolant only up to the constricted part. Is that ok or do I need to fill more to occupy the boxy upper part in some proportion as well?

Recommendation(Name and price) for good coolant for Cuore 2007 Model ?

Caltex 700/ ltr., cuore will consume 2 ltr.
I used Zic, it was I think 2000 for a four ltr. bottle. Shared it with a friend.
Toyota long life coolant is about 2600 for a four ltr.

if you can find original caltex in lahore, go for it. Also share here from where you buy it.
Best of luck.

the rates i mentioned above may vary, since I had such survey two years back when I was willing to change coolant.

Yes caltex coolant is good but don't dilute it with water use distilled water

I recently measured my mileage which hasn't changed after 1 year - method is as below;
Topped up my tank from PSO Islamabad express highway and did following journey.
During this journey I revved up smaller gears lots of time. Avg speed was between 90-115kmph.
Also blasted to 140kmph 3 times for short intervals(my poor cuore)

(Islamabad to Wazirabad) 191km
(Wazirabad to Sialkot) 41km
(Sialkot intra-city commute) 15km
(Sialkot to Gujranwala) 54km
Total: 301km

Had a topup again;
15.66 L
Milage: 301/15.66 = 19.22 Km/L
