  • The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is truly a special car from Toyota! In this video we perform the first service on a 2023 Toyota GR Corolla core model and explore some of it's unique technical features.
    This is the first 2023 Toyota GR Corolla that comes to the shop for a break in oil change and the owner was very nice to let us film it and share it with you. Thank you Ethan for trusting us with your beautiful GR Corolla.
    We look at the exterior then the engine. Then we start the service and take a tour underneath it.

The 2022 is the last year Toyota will make the manual in the Corolla except the GR. Flew from Michigan picked it up on Sept 30th 2022 broke the motor in driving it back. 2022 is the last year Toyota will make the Corolla in a manual except for the GR which you may know.

We have 2RX'S 2000 & 2006 and a 2002 LS 430 With just over 129,000 miles. So that is a total of 4 Toyota's! My first Lexus was a SC300 1993. My husband said NO WAY! He was under the impression they were expensive to maintenence LOL! He "WAS" a Buick man, I converted him as you can see! We will be coming to you with the LS430 This summer from Michigan.

You just showed it when inquiring at the dealer about the full spec of the provided engine oil. I know other professionals wouldn’t have questioned the suitability of the provided oil by Toyota wich is scary specially when we are talking about a new never worked on before engine!
    As a fellow mechanic I wish there were more professionals like you in our field my friend.

    The 0W-20 Toyota SP oil is a more wear control oil then the MobileOne AFE 0W-20. I have done a VOA on both of these oils. The Toyota oil is a special blend manufactured by ExxonMobile. The Toyota oil has a great anti-wear additive package: Moly - 697, Boron - 203, Zinc - 739, Calcium - 1287, Magnesium - 426, Phosphorous - 684 with a TBN of 6.8. That being said one of the key features of the ILSAC GF-6 oils is the protection they offer in helping prevent LSPI in engines with the TGDI technology. Combining turbochargers with GDI presents a unique set of problems, including an abnormal combustion phenomenon known as low speed pre-ignition (LSPI). LSPI is an uncontrolled combustion event that takes place prior to spark ignition, often resulting in knock, and has been known to cause catastrophic engine damage. The MobileOne ILSAC GF-6 AFE 0W-20 additive package is very different: Moly - 60, Boron - 73, Zinc - 548, Calcium - 844, Magnesium - 629, Phosphorous - 543 with a TBN of 8.0. Where the Toyota oil is blended for wear control and to support Toyota's 10K OCI - the MobileOne oil is blended to help control LSPI.

      @dadgarage7966 Рік тому

      Many dealer parts counter people and lube techs aren't fledged mechanics and by now, no doubt some Toyota 0W20 has found its way into these cars so it's probably okay. Probably. How does oil help with pre-ignition -- cools the piston bottoms by wicking heat and hot spots away? Or fewer minerals keeps the PCV system clean?

    • @joeythedime1838
      @joeythedime1838 Рік тому

      @@dadgarage7966 It's the chemistry of the additive package. Calcium and magnesium sulfonate are the most commonly used detergent additives in motor oils. Although calcium had been favored for decades, industry research has shown fewer incidents of LSPI occurred by re-balancing detergent chemistry to reduce the level of calcium and increase the level of magnesium sulfonate in the additive package. Calcium has been shown to promote LSPI, while magnesium has little impact good or bad. As for the anti-wear additives moly, zinc and boron they add to the price of the oil. The Toyota oil has higher levels of these additives because they help support the 10k OCI and Toyota isn't selling on price - you need to buy it from a dealership. On the other hand MobileOne is completing on price with all the other oils on the shelves of retailers.

      It's a Toyota. And it is using the homologation engine from the GR Yaris (superior chassis). 500hp and no issues with just some valve springs, past this the head will start to lift without better head studs. Long term will depend on use case and maintenance, but so far no premature failures that weren't user error.

      They are pushing a lot of HP and Torque out of these tiny engines but if they are sturdy and build with strong internal components they will hold up.
