It is Registered

2007 Toyota Camry

I don't know the service history, but I want to change the Oil, please provide an oil reccommendation

GAZZUZZ:


What engine size?

richforever123:


It is a Toyota 2.7-liter engine, someone recommended I use Total Quartz 5000

Here is some more info I found about the engine

Engine oil weight 0W-20 (5W-20)
Engine oil capacity, liter 5.8 (6.1 qt)
Oil change interval, mile 6,000 (10,000 km) or 12 month

Thanks for your response

GAZZUZZ:


If you do not have the engines oil change history. Safest thing to do is 20w50 . Total quarts 5000 is a good brand. 2000miles is safe oil drain interval for that oil type

GAZZUZZ:


Every engine either bad or good will produce steam/vapour at the tail pipe, which will be more obvious early in the morning because of the ambient temp and humidity.




Steam or water vapour is not a sign of a good engine.

If you compress humid air, you will get water vapour

Reminds me of my former car. Steamed today, started smoking tomorrow. Meanwhile my mechanic told me steam was a sign of good engine.��

I need an advice.
I'm a female and I'm thinking of getting a car and signing up with Uber/bolt. What do I need to know, what's the best car to use, and how lucrative is the business, and what's the total money I'm to invest in it?

P.s I'll be driving the car myself.

Hello GAZZUZZ,

Thanks for your recommendation the other day,

I finally changed my engine oil and spark plus, it was done by a Kazeem

However, after he made the change, the car has not been the same, it refuses to start most of the time, even when it starts, it moves a few centimetres and stops and does not accelerate properly most of the time, I am so furious with this Kazeem because I just bought the car and have been using it for weeks without any single problems until he came to change the spark plugs and oil, I called him immediately and when he came, he was asking for 5000 to change the fuel pump, I had to order him out of my compound, I am looking to go DIY for now

Please what do you think the problem is

Maybe he didn't change the Spark Plug properly (please consider the fact that the car was working properly before the fool came to change the spark plugs) or the fuel pump is actually bad, where do I start this investigation from

Your suggestion will be appreciated
