Hey Jojo, in regards to draining on ramps shouldn't be too much of an issue. However when filling up and checking the fluid it is important to have it on level ground because you can sometimes affect it by quite a bit. What I would suggest doing is getting a cheap scanner but if that's not possible you can also use a temperature reader to know what the temperature is of the engine on the upper red hose. Now if you don't have that you can also just gauge the temperature by touching the operator holes when it feels hot to the touch it's roughly between 60 to 80 degrees Celsius once you pass. Once you pass I'd say 80°, it gets pretty hot to hold on to so you can kind of gauge what the temperature is by what the radiator hose feels like but of course I would recommend getting a cheap scanner. Also in order to get the car off of the ramps I would throw in a little bit less fluid than what you drained out. Drive it off the ramps and then check the fluid on the floor. Definitely shooting for the lower temperature won't harm anything. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out. Thanks for watching:-).

Hey my friend. The best thing to do would be to take a heat gun put it on its lowest setting and just heat up the steel of the dipstick tube. You definitely don't want to get it too hot because you can melt the plastic. Most times what causes this issue is there will be rust in the area where the O-ring is that seals the dipstick tube. What you can do is at the same time as you heat up the tube try to twist the dipstick once it starts to move then you can attempt pulling it out while twisting. As long as you get it out without breaking it you don't need to replace it you can just clean up the dipstick lubricate the O-ring or replace it with a new one if it is tore up and clean out the dipstick tube. Definitely lubricate it and you should be fine. If it doesn't up breaking the best place to get one is the dealership if you want brand new or a scrapyard. Just make sure it is exactly the same engine and you'll be good to go. I hope that helps my friend. Good luck

@@JimmysAutoClinic Thanks for the reply. I thought maybe some rust. Any recommends for lubricating the o-ring & how would you suggest cleaning out the dipstick tube ? (sandpaper) Thanks

For the O-ring just engine oil is fine. As for the dipstick tube really once you get it free the best thing is to use engine oil and just shove the dipstick in and out of the tube. Usually with the dipstick tube there's no way to really clean it because any of this rust that you clear away will fall into the engine unless you remove the dipstick to then you can use a little bit of sandpaper but it's quite a bit of work and I'm not sure if it's press fit on that engine or bolt on. So I suggest just using oil once you get the dipstick out and that should keep things okay just pull the dipstick out regularly and it will help with it not getting stuck again.

In terms of the Crush Washer it is important to make sure that you do not have any indented surface on the portion of the washer where it should be flat. If you're talking about the rounded Edge it doesn't really matter either side is fine to mate with the pan or Bolt. Just make sure that both sides of the washer are completely flat and do not have any creasing or indentations on them as it will lead to a leak.

They are one of the best build cars on the road.

So generally the older Corollas are a torque converter for an automatic transmission. And the newer ones are cvt. The absolute best way to find out would be to call the dealership with your VIN number to determine what's in the car. Sometime depending upon the country you're in there may be identifying tags or number tags on the transmission and you might be able to Source the information online.

Hey Rolando, I don't usually replace those components unless someone has put something like a stop leak or some sort of additive to the cooling system that I may think is harmful. Generally the water pump really never gets replaced unless it's really high mileage and is making noise or leaking. As for the thermostat generally only when there is something new introduced to the system like a stop leak or there is an issue with it. Otherwise I just replace them on their own as needed. Of course if there was a issue with the cooling system relating to overheating or whatnot then I would ask them to check those components but it may cost you more.

Hey Rolando, I would definitely do both the ATF and coolant. It is quite a bit of mileage. Even if it looks nice and clean it doesn't hurt and will definitely add to the life of your car. Don't worry about using miles. In Canada we're kind of confused our speedometers are in kilometers but the tire pressures are PSI and all of our building materials are still in inches if you're a contractor. Yay Canada half Imperial half metric LOL. Thanks for watching I hope that helps.

Hey rolando, with regards to the fluid disappearing from the reservoir have you topped up the reservoir at all? If you have added any coolant to the reservoir and it is disappearing then there is an issue. If you haven't added any coolant and the level is just fluctuating that is normal. It should of course not go below the minimum line and preferably not exceed the maximum. With the temperature change of the engine going from hot to cold it will affect the level of the coolant in the reservoir. The only way I would be concerned is if the coolant is disappearing after topping it up.

@@JimmysAutoClinic yeah so after they put in the new radiator & topped it off, the next day the reservoir was missing half the coolant!

That is normal. They should have told you to top it off when they gave it to you or held it for another day to do that work. As long as it's in between the minimum and max line it is okay. I hope everything worked out with the car so far.

So it all depends on the code that you got and the diagnosis that was done to figure out whether you need the canister. The canister doesn't usually fail. It's usually the valve on the canister but if you are in the Rust Belt you'll end up replacing the canister because you usually can't get the valve separated without breaking the canister. However there are two common problems that cause event leaks that are much cheaper and should be checked thoroughly first. The gas cap number one. Buy it from the dealer. Secondly there is a evap purge solenoid under the hood. The solenoid doesn't usually fail but the whole is can crack and leak. And then you can also have a smoke test performed on the system to figure out what's wrong with the canister. I would not replace the canister first I would take a look at the other two problems and then replace the canister if the system persist with an issue.

@@JimmysAutoClinic I was wondering if you would get the same code whether if it was the gas cap or evap canister..or if they’re different codes for each?

Like I say it all depends on the code. Most times you just get two codes that are generic and indicate a largely or small leak. The gas cap and Purge hose leak that as referring to are usually small but can be large sometimes. The evap canister also makes the same codes. Very seldomly if you have a EVAP code for an electrical solenoid it will indicate either Purge or evap canister solenoid. If you're in the Toronto area you can come on by and we can help you out.

@@JimmysAutoClinic wish I was. I’m in US..thanks man I appreciate it.

No problem

Yeah I think it's better mixing stuff to be honest it's just easier with certain measurements for certain things.

If you put a Time reference to what sound it is I might be able to identify it.

LOL is that seinfeld?

I think you mean driving habits and environment?

@@JimmysAutoClinic No he means if you're a better driver, you can do a longer interval :p

Manual says 30k km - 50

I mean I guess.

Hey look at that I think that's what the recommendation was in the video that I made. I usually say 3 years or 50,000. Thank you for looking it up.

LOL thank you
