Replying to: rrojas1 (Jun 01, 2008 5:43 pm) I'm not sure of the Corolla's fuel tank design, but a floater in a fuel tank (which will send information to the gauge as to how full the tank is) may be at the highest point of travel (indicating full) while there is actually fuel above the top of the floater's travel (in the filler neck, et cetera). I drove 60 miles in my Accord before my needle dropped off of full. In the next 60 miles, I was close to 1/4 tank down.   This is normal.

Replying to: thegraduate (Jun 02, 2008 9:55 am) I've found on every car I've owned, there's anywhere from 1-2.5 gallons "above the float" so that I can drive quite a ways, sometimes as much as 100+ miles depending on the car and how full I fill the tank, before the needle crosses "F". Sometimes I make a game out of it: how far can I go on a "full" tank? On the Corolla, that could be pretty far! Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jun 05, 2008 6:08 am)

Replying to: backy (Jun 05, 2008 3:49 am) I usually get 70-80 miles in my old '96 Honda with the type of gauge that doesn't drop to E when the car is turned off. In my '06, I typically see the needle start dropping at the 30 mile mark, crossing F around 40mi.

Replying to: rrojas1 (Jun 16, 2008 5:57 am) When changing transmission fluid, you have to drain it, fill it, drive it, drain it, fill it, drive it, etc... a few times to actually change out all of the fluid. There is much more fluid still in the transmission than in the reservoir from which you are draining it.   A standard transmission fluid change is typically 3 drain and fills, with a short drive in between each drain and fill, to mix the fluid.   Most cars, like my Honda, need new transmission fluid every 90k-120k miles. This is why transmission fluid changes are recommended every 30k miles, so that by the time you have change it at 90k miles, you've actually drained it and filled it 3 times, and are running relatively fresh fluid.
#3967 of 3978 2007 orolla headrest by dmulford Jul 27, 2008 (9:09 am)
Hello!      I am trying to help my girlfriend shop for a car and she has found a 2007 corolla she really like. However, she finds the head rest very uncomfortable (too far forward) just like in my '08 RAV4. They seem to have changed it around 05 or 06 to increase the whiplash safety. Does anyone know if you can replace the 07 head rests with one from an older model? Or do you have any other suggestions? Any help would be great!   Peace, Doug Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Jul 28, 2008 4:41 am)

Replying to: dmulford (Jul 27, 2008 9:09 am) Maybe adjust the seat back to lean further back? I would NOT want to put a different head rest on it, because it could affect safety performance.   I have heard a few people complain about this, but the answer is always live with it, get used to it, or lean the seat back more.
