WS? Omo take it easy o! How did you read the manual? Your engine oil should be 0W20 if you can't find it buy 5W20. WS is transmission oil for the gearbox. |

Your Toyota Corolla requires 5w30 viscosity grade oil. API rating SN, 5 litres. This kind of oil ensures minimal harmful emissions from your vehicle, drastically improves gas mileage, makes your engine run smoother and protects your engine by keeping it clean and reducing sludge deposits.

That may not be the cause of maintenance light on ur dash board. If you change the oil ' it persist, you then need to check your car using the machine. It is an accurate way of knowing what exactly is the problem. My landlord has same challenge sometimes ago, the story wasn't a funny one. He has committed so much fund following his mechanic's advice. Change brain box, bought/import pedal switch, etc. I got wind of it unexpectedly and I told him that he is wasting his time and resources. I collected the car, went to Elukuhia Mechanics village in Port Harcourt. Guess what was the problem? "Bulb" which cost less than 500# was bought by him sometimes back caused it. Wrong bulb was used 'n because the car is so sensitive, it affected the car's efficiency seriously. |

keyman0007: Your recommended oil is the 5w 30 and you are wrong, you will find it in Abuja. Go to the Gudu market and search the toyota shops there, you will get the OEM Toyota oil. Then you can google how to reset the maintenance required indicator. |

The maintenance required light is programmed to come on every 5000km, so all you need do is reset it. You don't even need to change the oil if you did full servicing when you bought the car. 1. Put yOur key in the ignition 2. Turn it on. without starting the engine 3. Press and hold the trip indicator knob on the right side of your control panel. Wait till it shows 000 4. Turn off car. 5. The maintenance required light should be cleared when you turn on again 2 Likes |
