1988 Toyota Corolla DLX review from North America
"Use Royal Purple in your cars engine and it will last forever!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator had to be replaced twice.
Needed almost the entire brake system to be rebuilt.
Rebuilt engine.
Rebuilt radiator.
General comments?
Awesome car once Royal Purple is added to the engine. Purrs like a kitten, can't stop driving it at all!!!
Expensive repairs, however damaged the first engine by going into a carwash with an undercarriage wash and somehow got water seepage into the engine. New engine works great with a high quality synthetic engine oil.
