ThatIgboBoy:60 to 80 on the highway is not the sweet spot for fuel economy on most cars. 80 to 100 is. Your daily drive is good since it's devoid of traffic and it's short. Have a look at your brakes. They may be binding. Inflate your tyres properly to 36psi at least. Check your alignment both front and rear. If this continues, you may want to check if your cat is plugged up. |

9icetoo: Alright. I forgot to mention I even inflated my tire to the manufacturers specification on Friday. 32psi for front tires and 30psi for the rear tires. As for the brakes, I am seeing a check brake system info on my dash. Should be two weeks now. Since then I have checked my brake fluid and it is still OK. I have also changed the two brake pads in front cause the were beginning to squeak when i stepped on the brakes. And the check brake system warning still comes up. |

ThatIgboBoy: You have another bad O2 sensor 1 Like |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ThatIgboBoy: 10:19am On Aug 02, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ:One last question please. Which O2 sensor is this? The one at the engine area or the one at the exhaust? Because the one I changed earlier was the one at the engine area. |

good day oga Gazzuzz and other car guru in the house, pls I need your help. I bought this 2006 model corolla in April this year ( the car was 2- years used in Nigeria before I bought it ), i serviced the engine with Mobil 5w- 30 ( 4litres ) in may this year and as at 30th of July the oil has reduced to minimum mark on the dip stick, though the oil is still very clean. I am in Abeokuta, and mainly using the car from home to work and to take my children to and from school, all within the same area. I only travel to and fro of shagamu once during the period in review. pls sir, what can I do? the car moves well and did not smoke. but the rate at which the oil reduced gives me concern. pls help |

Good evening Gurus in the house. I scanned my car Corolla 2009 and got the following codes. P0128 P0138 Any idea how to explain to mechanic to fix it and the possible cost of the sensor?

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:46am On Aug 04, 2022 |
ATPx: No Thermostat in the housing . But the 2nd code is usually associated with catalyst theft it's a disconnected or damaged rear O2 sensor under the car. Meanwhile if you have a mechanic that cannot understand these basic codes wahala de sha. |

Good morning Gazzuzz et al. I noticed I can't accelerate my car above 3500rpm, once at 3500rpm it starts to jerks (softly) and I will have to free the throttle a bit. Honda Civic 2007. Current error code found this morning: 0522. Please see pic below for previous error codes but they didn’t show up this morning. Thanks.

Hi guys, Good afternoon My favorite car has always been Lexus RX350 2011 model precisely. But with the daily increase in car prices, it is kind of difficult to get one. So I am looking at other options. I want an SUV. Do you think a Toyota Venza can be a good substitute? Another other options will be appreciated. |
