My Corolla 2008 model of late does not select gears beyond gear 2 (automatic gear). About a week ago it was not selecting beyond gear 3 and the transmission gear oil was changed as recommended by a mechanic. Now it does not select beyond gear 2 and does not speed more than 50km/h. Is automatic gear serviceable or repairable or do I need outright replacement. Please advise.

Why not scan

I drive a 2005 Toyota Corolla and I noticed the rpm doesn't go above 3, what could be the problem and I hope it wont affect my gear.

Dear @Gazzuzz & other car enthusiasts. I drive a Toyota Matrix 2006. Got it as a Nigeria used 2yrs ago. The previous owner was using mobile 20w50 for servicing which I used just once b4 prices of oil skyrocketed. I then switched to seahorse 20w50 routinely changed after every 2000miles.

I went to service again yesterday & I saw a guy servicing his Toyota Corolla 06 with total quartz 7000 10w40 & he said his car has been fine with it over d years.

I am currently having a second thought of switching permanently to that total quartz 7000 10w40 & extend servicing time to about 4000miles. Though price is around 16k.

Will there be any harm to my engine doing this?

4000 miles on mineral? There will be a buildup of sludge.

Hi guys

Lexus Rx 350 2011 is showing P0420 and P0430.

The VSC light came on and later the check engine light. The mechanics are saying it’s the catalyst. What could be wrong? The check AWD system warning is also on. Cc Kingreign and all the other gurus in the house
hahahahaha the catalyst is up to 600k

I must have missed it because I contacted all the numbers given, one Tosin even did more damage than good to the car. Pls can I have your number again? L
I’m not a mechanic/rewire. So I’m not asking for patronage like the “Tosin”.
It’s just good to have people who drive the same with you around, trust me useful information and their help can come in handy especially in situations such as this that you currently face. Thereby, saving you from spending unnecessarily cos mechs don’t give a fvck about what you are going through, they just give quotes and bills based on their own current financial needs.

Quartz 7000 is fine. Buy from total filling station.

You can service at 4000 miles.

But monitor for sludge buildup.
If you sense any sludge buildup, drop to 3k miles change interval.

Temp has never been an issue in transmission oil change, the major issue is contamination .

As long as it's 30-40k it's China, just buy a recent one and hope for the best.

Good afternoon, I drive a toyota camry 2004 model.
I noticed that whenever I drive the car for long with Ac on or I drive in the afternoon under the hot sun with Ac on, the engine temperature gauge passes slightly above the middle and my engine oil pressure light comes on and starts blinking.
If I shut the car or I put off my Ac the engine temperature comes down and the engine oil light pressure comes off. Please what could be wrong I need help
