The 2016 Toyota Corolla is equipped with a timing chain, but there are multiple potential issues that may occur with the engine. Problems such as a spark plug coming loose can lead to engine malfunctions. It's important to ensure that any loose gaskets are properly tightened. Another critical issue to watch out for is engine overheating, as it can result in car fires and even the vehicle exploding. You might also experience excessive oil consumption, necessitating prompt oil changes. It's recommended to replace the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, change the coolant every 60,000 miles, and replace the spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless they are copper. For copper spark plugs, replacement is advised every 30,000 miles or so.
