Do not wait till your transmission oil gets dark before drain and refill. It's safer to drain and refill when it is borderline than when it goes black/dark.


If you don't have the records, drain your oil and refill with Toyota W.S .

Honestly i don't have the records
What is the recommended intervals to carry out this change?
Monthly, yearly or by km covered?

Regarding the black colour
I couldn'tascertain but i took some pics and also kazeem suggested if i finally decides to change it.. that he would equally loose the oil filter for the gear, wash n rinse with fuel...then refill with the new gear oil.. Please is this recommended too?
Many thanks...
He dey vex say, i dey ask google everything ni

Remote diagnosis not available. Make a YouTube video with the bonnet open.


P.s I have a feeling you now have a manual compressor

Thanks a lot boss, Here is the video

Things I noticed when I popped the hood that I had not noticed before
The Rattling noise comes up when the car is at a stop after a long (say 30 minute drive) It seems to be coming from the Radiator and triggered when the radiator fan goes into High RPM. It comes and goes and stops when the Radiator fan is in low RPM.

When the Radiator fan is on high rpm the frontal side of the car vibrates against the body and it cause the rattling noise.. at least from what I have observed.

Buy a good brand of 20w50 and use, drain oil every 3000miles.


And yes I said 20w50.

Same 20w 50 you were fighting some people here for when they were using it is what you are recommending? shocked grin

Okay, it's due for a change from the last picture. Make sure to use the right fluid. I posted an online tool in some places to help you figure out the right fluid.

@radautoworks what fuel treatments do you have and how much is it?
so many, my favorite are Lucas, Glen's are gumout and we both like marvel mystery oil. Check my thread. I posted a username and login for you to check inventory and pricing.

Sometimes you talk without thinking. Was your engine defective before you poured 20w50 inside?

Your car is calibrated in miles, replace it every 30,000 miles. (I am not going by the factory manual)

Impressive to see your compressor is still factory. Now to the koko of the matter.


Replace your fan (inspect the holder), it's about to fall apart.

Thanks gazzuzz you are spot on. Decided to inspect the fan and I noticed a screw lodged in one of the blades. I don't know how it got there, it wasn't there to wedge just seem totally random.. The screw was wedged to the edge of one of the fan blade and I had to remove it. After removing it I drove around for some time and idled but the noise did not come back. Even when the fan kicked into high rev (something that usuallytrigher the rattling) it was all quiet. I am still observing sha. Thanks for the pointer.

more than one thing can cause this issue . Kindly look into scanning vehicle first with a high end scanner.

Contact dicsonadams, he's into scanning and programming of this vehicle .

This matter get as e be. But with this explanation I suspect an intake leak.

You might have a hissing sound when your engine is running, try to confirm this, search for the leak fix it and I am 99per certain problem will be solved .

Hi guys. My 2014 toyota corolla makes some rattling noise after I have driven the car for some time and I am in traffic. The noise is particularly much when the AC is on and goes off when I turn off the AC (for some time) but the rattling noise comes up even when AC is off. It seems to only happen when the car has been driven for about an 1 or 2 and usually when in traffic or when the car is idling.

It doesn't show any other symptoms, drives well accelerates well, gear selection is fine and no issues with over heating. The noise can be loud and annoying though.
It usually goes away once I start driving and or after a couple of minutes it kinda goes and comes.

Always learn to mind your business because gazzuzz I was even remembering what he said back then about using 50w 20 has given up.

You can continue blabbing as usual while I keep watching and laughing at you without wasting my time responding to you.

car was scanned and the only result was knock sensor malfunction as shown on the obd machine

Timing sequence will be distorted if the knock sensor is not present. For that model the knock sensor seldom goes bad, so check it's connections and do what needs to be done
