Best Answer

Your Corolla takes either 0w20 or 5w30.

The reason for the difference is weather; the 0w20 provides better protection in colder climates (and gets slightly better gas mileage), and the 5w30 in warmer weather.

Either way you should use a full synthetic like Mobil 1, Royal Purple, or Castrol Syntec.

Fully synthetic oils provide better wear protection for the parts inside your engine, and are more slippery on a molecular level, reducing friction inside your engine, and improving your gas mileage.
