Oga Gaz.zuz,

My bank type corolla has been shorting oil recently. To my amazement my mechanic said that's the early sign that the engine is going off.
I need advise, is there a type of oil you'll suggest for me now considering the new 'status' the car want to attain soon ( I use Mobil 1 presently).
Also, are there things I should watch-out for as I'm planning to travel this weekend (my first with the car).

Many thanks.

With all due respect to Gaz.zuzz

So your trip doesn't turn out to be a disaster.

Top up the oil, make sure it is at the maximum.

Buy a 4 or 5 liter can of the same oil put in the car storage compartment

Every time you stop to refuel please check your oil...oh its a corolla so stop to check oil level even if you don't refuel every 200 kilometers

Is it a 2000 to 2002 model?

Best of luck.

Do same to coolant ensure it's at maximum before you leave.

Many thanks sir.

It's a 2007 corolla. Your advice is just same with my mechanic. And thanks to GOD I made the journey yesterday. Check the oil this morning and it's just a little below maximum gauge it was before setting out yesterday.

What will you suggest about ringing sir?

check charging voltage with and without load.
Stop buying substandard bulbs Buy toks they are cheap and last long, in accessories that do not require a lot of illumination you can use led bulbs, , fasten the accessories with faulty bulbs firmly so they don't hang loose. Put the right air pressure in tyres, too much air will mean too much shock on potholes.

my Mitsubishi gallant station wagon 1998 throttled to pick on packing but throttle between 1and 2 on loading. Just bought new throttle sensor and fixed by rewire. Rewire found out that one of the wires of the sensor connector has been detached. Could this be cause of the car problem not being able to throttle on loading or is there other things affecting the car. Please my gurus help. Thanks.

Hello. Please I drive a 2003 Honda accord EOD. I had a problem with its Steering rack which was leaking and made the steering hard. The steering pump was also making noise which I was told was caused by the leaking rack so I took it to Ladipo where it was fixed. After fixing the rack, the steering became soft but the pump was still making noise. After some weeks my mechanic advised to let him go and fix the pump in Ladipo so it wouldn't damage the rack I went to fix and regrettably, I agreed. After fixing the pump, the noise stopped but steering is hard again. Please what can I do?

Replace both parts with new parts and not used parts.

The Boss

1. What's the side effect of changing my corolla headlight to the white halogen type?

2. The hoooooooo sound. I was told that it is the hub that need to be changed. Another mechanic said it is the bearing that should be "nackked" out and replaced only.

Kindly advice Boss.
