Maintaining a Toyota Wish
Hello Paul, I recently bought a Toyota Wish and would like to know how to maintain it, especially since I will be driving it on the highway. Also, can I raise it a bit for comfortable driving while upcountry?

Hello Kasumba, for proper maintenance, the important considerations include engine and gearbox oil, other fluids, choice of fuel and maintenance of suspension, tyres and brakes. Toyota recommends use of semi synthetic or fully synthetic engine oils for the 1ZZ-FE (1.8L) and 1AZ-FE (2.0L) engines.
These two Toyota engines in the Wish have chain driven camshafts and variable valve timing, which rely a lot on prompt delivery of oil pressure regardless of the weather or performance demand. Mineral multi-grade oils provide good all round performance enhancement through cleanliness and protection against corrosion, dirt, sludge, metal sheer and combustion acids.
