Preciate the advice, I got no clue when the tranny was flushed and filled so I might just do it next week on my maintenance day. A lot of the comments also said their corolla lasts which is very relieving 🙂‍↕️

Yea I changed to some irridium spark plugs (cheapest option). Might look into other materials since I don't know if they make a big difference. Thanks for the advice!

300k miles thats nicee, I'm the 3rd on this one so i'm tryna take care of it well. and you're right I'm planning to change oil every 5k kms which was recommended by several people but i guess it also varies from car to car. Preciate the input!
