Toyota Corolla Grande 2018 steering hard

[pwuser151585164418]

Hi Arcane,
Thanks for the detailed reply
I agree with your feedback 100%
Changed to Continental UC6 with 215/55/16 profile and steering is much much better now.
Since you own both, how do you rate fuel efficiency comparison of both cars? Mine FL gives me around 12 in city and 13.7 to 14 on Lahore Islamabad trip at 130
Also, how much the Thai wheel cost you and from where?
Thanks in advance

Pre FL 12.5/13.5 km per litre on 129/hr km daiti ha n in city 10.5 /11.5 daiti ha with 205/65/15. This is mixed drive small 30percent hard n mostly light foot on high speeds. N FL s more fuel efficient. But pick wise pre FL ziada maza krati ha jabka FL ka sports on krain tu maza ata ha warna gutti gutti c chalti ha. As I v both that's why I feel that. But some ppl don't feel such as drive only FL. N might be due to more engine running of pre FL it's flow is smooth.
I purchased these alloys from haq traders Walton road Lahore . A very good shop owner with proper guidance.
Pak genuine Altis alloys price is myth. Dealership demand is 80k per alloy. But these imported Thai version Corolla genuine replacement part cost me 85 k for 4 pieces one year ago. Or if u v any tyre shop owner as friend then in new condition used alloys of grande can be purchased Upto 50/60 k . As some dudes don like these Alloys n they come to shop from show room directly to change with some other profile. It's luck. I sold my old alloys genuine of FL 50k so Thai version costed me only 35 k. Handle becomes so smooth .

Hi Arcane,

Thanks for the reply again

Thats a good deal for the Thai version. I will visit them sometime and see if i can exchange mine for a better deal or not

Btw which engine oil you use for FL Grande? I went to Toyota for 35k change and they changed Taglon 5W50 to Petrol 10W30

before Grande FL i have always been using 5W30 in my Hondas. This was quite strange for me that at 1st its 5W50 and then 10W30

I will spare some time today/tomorrow to read threads on Lube Oil for this car

stop trusting idiots for oil recommendation, Toyota has published the oil requirement for this engine already - and its not anything xw50.

[Xulfiqar]

so you would like modify it such that you should not apply any effort? - as in redesign the EPS?

IMO, 5w-30 engine oil grade is best suited for your ride.

trusting idiots for oil recommendation,

Flippancy has no border limits till gory lesson.

[arcane3888936656]

Bro thanks. If ur car is in warranty then stick to 5w 30 Toyota taglon. Otherwise use 5w 30 lukoil fully synthetic premium good results oil and it's distribution is in Pakistan and it's not so much expensive as liquomoli n Mobil.
Iv used shell havoline zic liquomoli Mobil Toyota for almost 22 years n lastly I ve become fan of lukoil due to its characteristics when compare to it's price.

You will love that.

Please share your reviews about Grande 1.8 6 fwd Manual?

[Xulfiqar]

yes, truer words never spoken.

[aamir.ch93]

Yeah thats why i will switch 10W30 to 5W30 in next oil change. I have read and understand that oil flush is not required, please let me know if otherwise

[aamir.ch93]

No, just asking for opinion from users that is it normal or i have to look for something wrong in the mechanical system of car

[aamir.ch93]

Hi Arcane,

Thanks for the detailed reply

Have you used Total 9000 Quartz also? How do you rate it in comparison with Lukoil. I receive 17% GST cashback on Total thats why its beneficial for me

[aamir.ch93]

Hi,

I havent used Grande Manual nor have seen it with any close friends/family so unable to share any feedback. Overall 2017 facelift is worth buying in my opinion
For manual variant if you are buying used, then you will find great VOM due to low resale. If going for new one, keep in mind the loss in case you have to sale it

[arcane3888936656]

In ma bros gli I used to drive off n on, but can't comment enough but I'm dam sure u will forget shell,total,havoline if u once use lukeoil .. rest is ur choice u can anytime switch from 5w 30 lukoil to total 5w 30 or total 5w 30 to lukoil. Use lukoil from their pump so might be tax ma be returnable as well.

[aamir.ch93]

Bought Total 5W30 from their pump and is much better than the Petron Mineral oil or Taglon which had been used earlier
Yes, i get it from fuel card so tax is reimbursed

[hammad_hey]

which pump? and city?

[aziz.rehan]

What is cost of 5w30?

[aamir.ch93]

I got 4 litre + 1 litre for 5150 PKR inclusive of 17% GST. Due to company GST gets refunded back to us
