Have a 2008 local nze doing 140k mileage. I see everybody reccs the 10w30 as the oil of choice but my mech says that the 10w30 is ok for mileage under 100k, but over 100k, the 20w50 is better.

that 20W50 is too thick for these engine, assuming that its the 1NZFE engine.

I had used 10w40 on my 1NZFE engine without any problems for a good few years and it had over 220,000km's on it

Also, if ur from south, Bel Air Store in Marabella has Shell Helix HX7 fully synthetic 10w40 for under $220.00

The toyota manual i red recommended valvoline oils

The toyota manual i red recommended valvoline oils

Which toyota manual? For what engine?

And where you got this manual if its for the 1.5?

[ADONI]

That Shell Helix HX7 sounding decent Rajiv. Going try that next.

can a 121 transmission work efficiently in a 141?

[MarkMohammed]

If the 141 uses cvt, u would not get the 121 tranny to work good because of different control strategies.

Have 3 nzes all doing 160k+ and all running 10/30 still

It is the basic model without the rpm gauge, I am not sure if it came cvt,but the mechanic used back the bell housing from my transmission on the older 121 transmission ,its is working ok,but moving lazy on hills,also only getting 400km per tank of gas. Has anyone done this before and is the original transmission locatable? Looking for some advice please.

drove my nze this morning, car is sputtering when accelerating any ideas wht might cause this? stops sputtering at high speeds, but lower speeds it sputters when accelerating

[MarkMohammed]

First guess is something to do with spark plug. Check connector on coil packs. Check condition of connector between coil and plug. Look for moisture or cracks. Check condition of spark plug. Look for cracks in ceramic. Good luck.

[konartis]

Bought spark plugs so going and change later and take a drive, hoping it is solved.

[toyota2nr]

I encountered that before. I changed fuel filter and could but problem remained. It only went away when I cleaned the throttle body and intake with power foam and throttle body cleaner.

[ADONI]

What about velocity joints (NZE121)? I need to change my two outer. I have changed to FU axles. After that, I changed the two outer joint as well on both side. Any particular brand of joint? Thanks!

[Esedess]

Hey guys, recently got an Axio 2009 NZE141, i have noticed that when slowing down in traffic, for instance on highway etc, when going back to accelerate i get a buck, it seems to happen frequently when slowing down and going back to accelerate. Is this a problem or normal with the NZE141 CVT tranny?

[eXamin]

It is normal

Fellow nze'ers,Purchased the factory hid headlights from the hid X model but the male connector from the oem halogen lights are larger than the hid headlamp female input.Any idea where i can get the correct connector? ( besides looking through the entire bamboo)

[fds-fx]

Anybody know of aftermarket mirrors that work on the 121?

[rjaggs]

Did a quick search but didn't find any related posts/info...

My A/C blower motor is nearing the end of its life. I own a 2003 Singapore NZE121R with the 1NZ-FE (1500cc) engine. I located a used blower motor in the U.S. (the U.S. version of the 2003 corolla is similar to the Altis, except with a 1800cc engine and some minor interior differences...carries the same NZE121 designation), however the part number differs - My#: 87103-12050 | U.S. part#:87103 -02050. Buying a used blower motor locally will cost me twice the price of buying in the U.S., so it would be great if they are interchangeable.

I tried to do a comparison of both blower motors using the schematics on the toyodiy site, and they seem to be different (assuming the diagrams are accurate), but I could be wrong. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

[trini mk5]

My assumption is that it will be different. Usually US parts differ from Japanese and Singapore models in most cars, and if you say the schematics look different then it probably is different.

[cinco]

With the differing layout rhd vs lhd I would assume the mounting locations would be different at minimum .

[X_Factor]

can anyone give an average price to change the A/C compressor in a 121 with the 1z engine?
or recommend someone ine st augustine and environs?

[JayyXXII]

The AC place just after the grand bazaar exit to the westbound lane of the highway charges around $2900

^^Yea that guy is expensive though...
