dont be leaving your cars for kazeems. Most of them are criminals

What if it's not a kazeem but a workshop that does not grant customers access to work area?
And how did your jump to the conclusion that his sensor was stolen?

Well i am just assuming because same thing happened to my neighbour. Her battery was changed. Another's CAT was stolen and many other news we have heard.

Any mechanic that won't allow me access to workshop must fix any issue noticed on my car

Good day house. After good observation every morning for some days, I noticed my radiator reservoir water level drops significantly if i spend long hours in traffic on previous day, and whenever i have a free drive, it drops just a little. This is already giving me serious concern. All components still intact, Fans work on thermostat, car has never overheated and factory compressor still working. what can be the cause of this water level drop? car is Camry 2012.

There are several reasons coolant is used instead of water. It is easy to trace and smell leaks if any.

Yes I I said smell leaks.

Interestingly, I use only water for my glass washer and it works fine. I don't like the aftermath stains.

lets say, the chemical is to discourage survival of organisms/animals in there

GAZZUZZ and other Senior bros,

I got a Nigerian Used Hyundai Tucson 08 and changed the engine oil with Toyota Quartz 5000 on the 16/6/23.

I travelled just around Ibadan (Daily use), Abeokuta and Ilesha on a single to and fro trip.

Currently the oil is very black and is calling for replacement. Kindly advise

Thanks once again. I would be changing the oil again on 15/7/23.

Would you recommend, I use any oil treatment, to aid the recovery faster, cos I also noticed little black soots from the exhaust?

Best regards,

For me fuel Consumption is still fair for my 4cyl engine even with A/C on, from Ibadan to Ilorin and back (just about 1 full tank (about 65ltr) ).

What do you think?
