I'm closing in my 2nd month here.. Still pretty "fresh off the boat" :D Currently in Melbourne

where u from? ← Malaysia :)

Thx, SuiCid3. That's what I thought I'd like to do.. Will check out at K-mart to see how much a 4l pack Mobil 1 cost in Australia. (I am new to Aus actually..) My wife drove the car and hit the road kerb last weekend *ouch* *ouch* :( , I dunno if it caused any damage to the suspension... What do I tell the service guy?

Thx for all replies :) My gearshift problem is with getting from neutral -> 1st. I see you guys use the term 'crunchy' and I think mine feels like that. Abt gear oil... I am just imagining that a new gearbox would have some very tiny metal particles floating in the oil.. dislodged by grinding gears. So, a gear oil change at 1k service might help. Hmm.. after the 1k service, when's next? 15k? If the 2nd service is 10k apart, then I am thinking abt bringing in my own Mobil-1 10W30 than to use the Magnetec, which I believe is mineral

Just got delivery of my new Ascent last week and have been enojoying it ! Got a few Q's to ask: what engine oil do they use during the first 1k service? do we get to opt for synthetics? i know i should be asking my dealer instead but would like to get some feedback from other Corolla owners, and also on the oil suitability. becoz i intend to keep this lil car for long. if gear oil (mine's a manual) change is not included in the first 1k service, do you think it is advisable to request for that? the reason being i find that the gearshift requires some effort (esp. the 1st gear). lastly, do u guys use premium fuel with the car? (i got my car without the user manual becoz of some mess-up by the dealer, anyway, i should be getting it next wk) Thx in advance!

This is bad.. If I get a new corolla this month.. Do you think I will get the 100kw version or the 93kw?
