The 2010 Toyota Corolla comes with two engine options: a 1.8 liter 4Cylinder and a 2.4 liter 4Cylinder. The smaller engine requires 4.4 US quarts of 0W-20 oil along with a filter, while the larger engine needs 4 US quarts of either 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months for those using fully synthetic lubricants, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months for those using conventional oil. Synthetic oil offers better lubrication, longer service intervals, and improved performance in extreme weather. Thinner oil like 0W-20 flows more easily in cold weather, protecting engine parts and reducing friction and corrosion. The average cost for an oil and filter change for the Toyota Corolla is about $100-$115, including materials and labor.
The oil capacity for a 2010 Toyota Corolla with a 1.8L engine is 4.4 quarts (or 4.2 liters), while the 2.4L engine requires 4 quarts (or 3.8 liters) of oil. It's best to use Toyota Genuine Motor Oil or an equivalent that meets the ILSAC multigrade engine oil grade and has an SAE 5W-20 viscosity.
