Help Needed by elijah101(m): 6:11pm On Sep 23, 2017 |
I need help .. I noticed that there was no oil at all in my toyota camry 012 model .. and i serviced not quite long .. towards the ending of Last month .. what can i do ..what do you think the problem could be .. i am thinking maybe the guys that did the servicing at the Fuel station did not tight the oil place well .. that was what made it leak .. and i poured the little oil remaining from the servicing .. and it just leaked a little and has not since then as i am checking .. but i have stopped driving the car though .. |

What oil was in the car before service. Was the previous oil level normal. What oil and filter was it replaced with? If there is no sign of oil leakage, If they poured that 20w50 poison in your engine... Start praying. |

elijah101:If you car is leaking oil externally,you don't even need a guru to check that for u cos you will see the oil leak under where the car is parked or sign of oil leaking around the engine area but if there no sign of such then you need to if the leak is internal . And to check rev the car to almost redline while you tell an assistant to help your check the colour of exhaust coming out of the tailpipe, if you have white smoke then that indicate internal leak due to worn piston ring or worn valve assembly. Also patronizing low quality oil that evaporate easily can also make you to lose oil unnecessarily. |

elijah101: Obviousl, it's either the mechanic didn't tight the filter housing or the drain plug properly. What weight of Mobil 1 are u using? I guess you are using the wrong oil. The recommended engine oil for your car is 0w-20. The fact that you are using Mobil 1 does not make it right. The recommended engine oil is written on the engine cap cover through which oil is poured into the engine. |
