Good evening Boss Gazzuzz. A friend purchased a Nigerian used 2002 Toyota. He just changed the oil and oil filter on Friday but today, the oil is so black. What could be the cause?

Also, The engine is also loud. What causes it?

Good evening Mr. Gazzuz. My Honda Baby Boy was hesitating to enter gear and making a thumping sound on reverse and started blinking D light and I took it to a mechanic. He checked and told me he needed to top up 1 can of transmission oil. No1 mistake: I didn't even know the oil he used. After a 2days, car was still hesitating to enter gear and making a thumping sound on reverse. Took it back to him and he called a gear "expert" who told me the oil is empty as it has drained out due to a bad seal. He fixed the seal and refilled with 2 cans of transmission oil. No2 mistake: I didn't enquire on the type of oil he used. I noticed that D-light is still blinking and all the symptoms are still there. Now, would draining the oil and refilling with recommended oil save me? What is the recommended oil and how much does it cost? Should I first of all scan the car before making any move?

GAZZUZZ:


older transmissions as this are not as sensitive so your worries should not be about the oil for now .

Running a transmission dry can have fatal consequences. If you have the right about of oil in the transmission, consider servicing the solenoids, they can become a bit grumpy with age.

Good morning, Mr. Gazzuzz.
My 2007 Honda Accord V6 has been misbehaving lately. It have a couple of little but weird problems that are driving me crazy. I will try to be as detailed as possible.
When I start it in the morning it has a rough idle. It stays at 1000rpm but occasionally goes up to 1400 for a few seconds and then comes down to 1000. It does that like twice while the car warms up. It also has this very mild rough idle, like a misfire of some sorts, but new plugs and cleaned injectors have failed to make that completely disappear. Warm idle is around 750-800rpm.
Also, before it warms up, there's a mild delay and jerk when shifting from 1 to 2. But it is smooth as butter when warmed up that you barely notice it if you are not checking the rpm.
The most frustrating and dangerous problem is that occasionally when I'm in motion and I want to accelerate a bit harder, maybe to overtake, I will push down on the throttle fast, but the car will not respond accordingly. Instead of downshifting, the RPM will just be rising VERY slowly even when the throttle is all the way down. It does that for like 5sec before it wakes up, downshifts hard and the RPM will rise accordingly. If I downshift manually by putting the gear to D3 or D2, it shift smoothly and rpm rises accordingly. It's almost like the car forgets to downshift whenever I push it hard. This is really dangerous. Note: when I'm in neutral, the car revs normally up to 5000rpm where the rev limiter normally kicks in. Also, if I'm moving off from gear one, it shifts smoothly to the 5th gear as supposed to even if I'm pushing it hard. Slowing down is also smooth down to 1st gear. If I'm cruising and decide to accelerate moderately, it downshifts normally. The problem only comes when I'm cruising and I try to accelerate hard. So basically, there's a dangerously long delay in downshifts during hard acceleration.
Note, in all I've described, there is no error codes and no check engine light. I have a scanner and despite no check light, I have scanned it and no codes.
Please I need help.

GAZZUZZ:


I guess you know what do do now. Solve it and the light will go on its own

Macmilla:

Boss gazzuzz my 2007 Honda Accord has a rough and delayed 1 to 2 shift when cold, which tends to be a bit smoother when warmed up. No slipping. Other gear shifts are smooth.
Oil drained and refilled but no improvement.
Please what could be the cause?

GAZZUZZ:


Clean/service it, if it's still not smooth replace it, if same, replace gear.

callmemikel:
Oga Gazzuzz, pls do you recommend buying South Africa spec Toyota Corolla (2012) that was bought brand new in Nigeria?

Used for about 2 years, mileage is less than 100k.

GAZZUZZ:


Clean/service it, if it's still not smooth replace it, if same, replace gear.

GAZZUZZ:


I am not a fan of the SA models, largely due to abuse by the former owners.


But that last sentence no follow

callmemikel:

Thank you boss. So I got to realize this morning that it has actually been used for exactly 4 years and the mileage is 87k. It was previously used by car lease/hire company. Though, they bought it brand new.

What do you think sir?
Price is 3m last
