My new Corolla Altis CVT-i Cruisetronic

[ali454]

I know all this.

Why only one parameter has changed whereas rest are well within limits? That is strange.
Results of an authentic lab will be more credible.

[ali454]

All viscosities should change. Rather decrease with use. But by how much? This should be the reason of choosing between oils.

[makhdoom123]

authentic lab will be more credible.

Was tested in Shell Labortories Pakistan

[ali454]

I dont know what % of bias it has.

The overall viscosity index is 111, showing the viscosity per change in temperature is good after 5000km use.

Anyways, expert may know better.
Will wait for LM results.

Eeee, nae btana tha.

[haseeb.basharat]

Taglon users: don’t try to use it aboce 5k
Stick to 5k kms drain intervals sharp

[Thinking]

i think cold start protection is where CERATIC actually adds value.

[haseeb.basharat]

Yes but it protects it at all temperatures.

AsalamuAlaikum Everyone, i was about to start a new thread for this issue, but i hope i will get suggestions here.

i have Altis 1.8- 2010 model - (auto), its mileage is around 105000 KM.
it was giving me 9-10 average before.

Problem
now its giving me average of 6.2 to 6.9 km/l which is not good at all and i feel like selling this but i as i wont get anything in this budget so i need to stick with my car,
the pick of car is not even near to 1.8, i drove 1.6 altis it was much better, economical and quicker then mine.

Maintenance
last time i remember i changed the car plugs 1 year ago from toyota southern motors.
i use caltex havoline oil after every 3500-4000 KM
i use hi-octane after every 1-2 months , else normal fuel

Help
what should i do, can you suggest me any place in karachi where i can take my car which is good and trustworthy as i dont have good mechanical expertise, what things should i change in my car and from where i should get it.

waiting for a detailed reply from experts.

[haseeb.basharat]

I can’t suggest a place in Karachi, does this model have catalytic convertor? When was the last time you changed automatic gear oil and fuel filter/fuel assembly. Which plugs you are using? Which oil filter and airfilter you’re using?

[z06]

i dont remember the plugs - i got it from toyota
no i think catalytic convertor was the next model which is Altis 1.6

i changed the gear oil on 90000 km
oil filter i get it from the oil change shop dont remember the name but it cost around 450 pkr,
air filter, genuine toyota.

[haseeb.basharat]

Bro, please switch to some genuine oil with genuine oil filter. If you cannot remember the name of shop than you probably don’t know authenticity of oil. Do you know which havoline you are using?

[z06]

Oil : Caltex Havoline Formula - Dont remember the oil filter,

so you mean the oil change should be done by Toyota ?

will it effect my fuel average?

OIl change shop : Mohmand Oil Service

[haseeb.basharat]

No, not Toyota, but you should know authenticity of oil you’re using. Get engine tuning and throttle service from Toyota first, than think of changing oil, please share photo of oil box.
When did you change fuel filter or fuel assembly?

[z06]

i will go for Engine tuning & throttle service .
fuel filter? i dont think i have changed that.

[haseeb.basharat]

Change that as well.
