GAZZUZZ: Now to what finally killed the camry 2003 engine. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7631382_15351915827381570955335_jpeg69189f8f3156997bf3aae2349c4e7e9a www.nairaland.com/attachments/7631383_15351916496312041153151_jpegdf61473f08f43dda1a8c39eb33f50a78 I pulled this pic from this thread https://www.nairaland.com/4683700/toyota-4runner-2007-1gr-fe-fix/1 this is a typical example of why you should not pour full synthetic oil into an engine that has been abused. remember we talked about how sludge gradually builds up in the engine, well sludge if left alone, does not cause any immediate harm,in most cases engine death is slow but sure. Now this is what happens when you pour synthetic oil into an engine with a great amount of sludge. Full synthetic engine oils have cleaning additives, they work like detergents, and are able to break down accumulated sludge in the engine very quickly. The ability of full synthetic oils to keep an engine clean, in a healthy engine is harmless, the particles get trapped in the oil filter and after an oil (oil and filter change) drain the process is repeated again. sadly in an abused engine it is not the same. You have rapid breakdown of sludge, it overwhelms the oil filter, clogs up the strainer at the pickup screen of the oil pump, on and no time the engine is running on low oil pressure (which explains why the oil light started flickering in traffic) ultimately from low oil pressure the engine gets starved of lubrication, becomes noisy, rattles and finally freezes up. full synthetic oil should never be used on an engine with long term abuse. Regular and shorter oil changes with mineral oil after returning temperature settings will be a better approach, to maintaining an abused engine, if you are not ready for a replacement or a rebuild. As to what killed the honda V6 engine. That particular model has a very sensitive catalytic converter system. In most toyota's, with age and mileage the catalytic converter gets burnt out, but in Honda, with age mileage and abuse the converter gets blocked, a blocked converter means exhaust fumes on that particular bank do not get to leave the exhaust system with ease, the exhaust system is narrowed down to a smaller diameter, a typical example would be drinking water from a cup VS sipping water from a straw. The effect of a blocked catalytic converter results in overburdened connecting rods, excessive heat in Cylinder head, excessive wear to valve stem seals, and a general loss of power. It is typical to find such cars smoking excessively (white/blue smoke). Continuous Use of engine in that state leads to a catastrophic end for said engine. With this last post I have finally ended this story. I trust it was beneficial to many, and I hope you are not learning the hard way. I want to re-appreciate to The nairalander who gifted me this phone that helps me type volumes in a few minutes. One love every one. 28 Likes 3 Shares |

In earnest, Dipo shouldn't have changed to synthetic oil. The change led to a swift dearth of the camry, I guess. |

This is a racing narrative of how we gladly destroy our cars and happily offload the wahala to 54 jars and then to Nigerians. It shows how wicked and shallow our mentality is. Someone buys a 2005 Camry in 2018, (13) years old car and everything is still in pristine condition and 5 months later, we start to tropicalise the vehicle. Where's the pastor in the house? Please come and pray for us all to repent from our evil ways. 1 Like |

Sir, Gazzuzz, you are a blessing indeed, I appreciate other experienced car techs in the house, pls, could u give us some examples of mineral lubrication oils that will be effective as per cars? e.g, I use a Honda accord 2005 model, I am.presently bringing it back to factory order, but skeptical about the lubrication oil to use, something within was actually telling me not to use d manufacturer's recommended oil Second question sir, what if the oil strainer is cleaned out and sludge removed from the engine, will it be able to accommodate d manufacturer's recommended lubricating oil? Third question sir, forgive me of my inquisitive nature, will it be wise to flush d engine to get rid of sludge? GAZZUZZ: |
Re: When It Is Time To Return To Factory Specs. by kcbaba007: 2:32am On Sep 30, 2018 |
And yes! The car was heavily kazeemized, d IACV was blocked just as u has posited, it caused unnecessary vibrations, kazeem had used d thermostat for lunch, and had also taken d catalytic converter for breakfast, I just had to order for a new IACV, knock sensor, TPS, the upstream and down stream O2 sensors, engine air filter, cabin air filter, thermistor, thermostat, and an O2 spacer, I just hope after doing all this, the engine will bounce back. kcbaba007: |

GAZZUZZ: In advanced countries, people do not instinctively visit manufacturer - approved dealerships to service or repair their vehicles. They generally stick to credible information in books. Unlike in the developing world where we don't know how many people live in Nigeria and how much crude oil NNPC sells in a year, these countries have a sacred belief in proper documentation. A Nigerian purchasing a brand new vehicle doesn't give a shit about documentation such as service manuals and owner's manuals. We tend to rely more on experience and the wisdom of elders. That is why a professor will chide a student for quoting a credible text rather than the note he delivered to the class, full of experiential info. When a used vehicle is being sold in the US, entire maintenance history is documented and made available to new owner, and if you're buying a salvaged vehicle the facts are well documented. I remember when I bought my first car, a camry 2005 V6 in 2013. Before the vehicle arrived I had read tons of material including vehicle manuals downloaded from the Internet. I always used 5W30 oil and Toyota Long Life Coolant (Toyota red). Most people buy and drive, literally, while leaving the rest to their ignorant mechanic in coal camp and elsewhere. They keep adding water and telling us the car is not overheating, as if smoking a pack of cigarettes kills overnight. Buying a foreign used vehicle can only give peace of mind to people who are informed, and it takes no more than reading the owner's manual and similar documents which of course would be available on the Internet 6 Likes |

I successfully quoted a Nairaland comment. I have to celebrate this incredible feat. |

Toyota Super Long Life Coolant is excellent for newer model Toyota cars manufactured from 2004, but I discovered this OEM concentrate which meets the specs and costs a bit less. The premixed Toyota coolant costs about 11k in my area but this one is a concentrate requiring mixing with an equal volume of distilled water, so yields 8Litres and costs 8K
