Problems I Dont Understand

[RUNXZ]

Ok so i was due to service my car, its on 68000 km now and its 6 years old. I purchased it second hand 6 months ago. Since last time i changed my oil i found the 5-30 oil was going down a bit so i decided to try 10-30. Anyway so i drop my car in to change my oil, i used Redline 10-30, i also changed my coolant from the green ***** to redline water wetter, which u just add to water. I also changed my transmission fluid, to redline MT-90. So i get my car back and it feels reel dead, lift feels almost non existent except when its cold at night. Any ideas WTF is goin on. I have ordered the lift bolts so i should get those soon. I dno if the slightly heavier oil causes more friction and so makes the car feel dead and maybe impacted on the allready dying bolts causing them to die. Im just fishing for answers here. I also have a pully making noise but i havnt figured out which one so i dno if that could be it. Helpppppppp! :) All i know is when i dropped off the car it was running like a !Removed!, now its not.

Hmm. i know the corolla engine doesn't like heat, the hotter it gets the less power you get out. So maybe the oil you are using and the coolant is just not cooling/working properly? When you said the lift works better when it's cold. So could well be the cause.

I'm no expert on these things, so maybe somebody else might be more helpful.

Did u change the filters (oil and air)? That can make a big difference.

Overfilling with oil can have that effect as well
