Hi Car Guru in the house

I bought a naija used camry 2008 with 110000mileage. I used 5w30 mobile 1 and is burning oil. At about 1000mileage i add two liters to keep the stick full. i understand from this thread that it as a recall issue.
1. Please can i change to higher weight oil to reduce the consumption and what oil weight would you recommend.
2. Would you recommend any addictive to reduce the oil burn.

I wish I could use it a little bit before a rebuild or engine change

Thanks

I use a 2010 venza

whenever i park under the sun for hours and i start car, the AC vents on driver side will blow only fan (even when set to max cooling) but all other vents starts cooling immediately.
I'll need to drive the car around for at least 20mins before the 2 driver side vents picks up and start cooling.

Pls who has experience with this..i dont want to be scammed by these AC technicians. one is already saying i'll have to replace condenser and compressor.Thats ridiculous

Please what's the solution for leaky bottom plate and crank shaft oil seal(inner one).? My oil dries up rapidly when I drive the car. It's a toyota camry orobo. Please help. The mechanic have changed it and it's still the same problem.

Worn threads

You will need to take it to a machine shop for the threads to be fixed.

About the oil seal I have no idea what inner seal is.

You have the back seal (flywheel) and the one under the harmonic balancer (pulley)

I want to top up gear fluid oil automatic transmission, must I use the previous product , like I used oando product befor ,can I use another product gear if I want to top up .  Thanks

Realistically , run 20w50, drain oil every 2-3k miles.

The books will tell you to rebuild.

The reason why the car runs smoothly is less friction .. The 5w30 oil is able to easily get into the engine running parts and lubricate easier and faster. This will allow your car to respond faster when you put ur foot on the petal . less friction= faster response

Unlike 20w50 thicker oil, takes longer to lubricate all moving parts of the engine . The reason why it consumes more fuel than 5w30. This is due to thickness of the oil , the oil pump is working harder than its suppose to . this allowing it to consume more fuel . continue using the recommended oil and u will enjoy the car .

Hello, please help me solve this issue. My 2005 Toyota Corolla will not start. All the electrical components come up when I turn the key but only the engine would not start.

Previously, once I clean the battery terminal and make a tight contact the engine will come up and work perfectly.

Now it does not even come up again at all, but the electrical come up. I have cleaned the deposits in the electrodes and make a tight contact with the electrodes yet same thing .

I am suspecting the terminal cable or maybe the battery is weak now and no longer able to carry the engine.

What is your take on this eng. GAUZ.

Thanks

There is a lot of fake stuff out there including Toyota coolant. I myself can't tell the difference...


Choose between the two. Prestone or Supertec coolant . Good for all cars and I import them myself

Since I import them myself rest assured of the authenticity of the product.......

Good morning everyone

Whenever I start my camry sport 2007, it has to warm/work for 20mins before moving if not the ignition will off when I press the gas. Though after some time on the road, the engine work will balance.

Is it normal to start an engine and wait for 10mins and above before moving (daily use) or is there a problem with the car?
