Guys please I need your advise. My Camry 2005 is shorting oil rapidly. It doesn't smoke, no visible oil leakage in the engine bay. Just did oil change last Saturday and I've done about 150 miles since then and the oil is already below the guage. I use synthetic oil 5w-30.

Where else can the oil possibly be leaking from please.

If you know obi-wali road, Rumuigbo in portharcourt...opposite redbull supermarket, there's a mechanic by name Paul.
He is very very good

Kpele. Use thicker oil. Your engine is a notorious oil guzzler.

Pls where can I scan (and possibly repair) a 2012 Rav 4 at a good rate, at Sangotedo area of Lagos ? The “maintenance required” light has been coming up whenever we start the car for the past four days
Oil , filter and fuel pump was changed recently by a road side mechanic.

It’s my mums car. She changed oil and filter as advised by her mechanic. As for fuel pump, she changed it because the car stopped on the road, she called her mechanic and he said it’s fuel pump and changed it and next day, maintenance required light has been blinking once she starts the car.

Do not be sarcastic because if I knew, I would not be here asking.

Go on youtube and watch videos on how to reset the maintenance light.. It is easy to do.

Turn on the ignition to allow all the instrument panel lift come on, then locate the odometer toggle button and toggle it till Trip A, keep the button pressed down turn off the ignition and then turn on the ignition whilst still holding the odometer button. You should notice series of dashes (- - - - - -) on the odometer when it clears, the odometer should go to (0 0 0 0 0 ) then return the mileage display. This shows you’ve reset the maintenance required warning.

I am not with her to do that. Are u saying the maintenance required is not a sign of any problem? That’s all I need to know.

You should have scanned the vehicle to ascertain what the issue was before changing the oil.

The old oil, if e never turn black, would have been better than this new oil you put. Hyundai recommends Sp-4, alternatively if you find original Dextron VI.
And na 7 litres you need, so bad oil wey no even Guage fit land you extra wàhálà.

I’ll, but it has been done already what do u suggest i do?. Btw the issue has been there before i changed the oil, I cleaned my seals while changing the oil. Most of the time i have to hold on to the break tight before shifting gear (if no jack sound heard) it will work from one, thats how i used it yesterday
