Most Nigerians don't take care of thier vehicles, they only wait till it doesn't move anymore.

I[b] sent my driver to change oil and he looked at it and said "Oga, it doesn't need to be changed, it's not too black yet[/b]" shocked[/b]

Preventative maintenance is not in their dictionary.

When I say he's stalking me he will say I'm lying. grin he can dish it but he can't take it lol

There is a reason why Carquest is the second biggest seller in the US. We don't need Amazon. Carquest oil is made by Amalie. Google them wink

Anyways, you're obviously capable of independent thought. I'm not worried about where you get your oil and filter, just that you get the right ones for your car and dru23 gets a taste of his own medicine cool

He recommends prestone because that's all he has to sell. Just like he recommends Mobil extended oil and Fram filters for all cars because that's what he has to sell.

While prestone can be used, Asian cars are different and the coolant best suited to them is Zerex http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=ANT&partNumber=675130

I've also included all your other fluids recommendations for your car below.
Thank you ma. I saw Dextron 111 for Automatic transmission. My question is, can I use any Dextron 111? I have been using only Toyota type IV since I bought the car and did a complete ATF, only once since then. Any time it gets low, I just top it off with 1 lite of Toyota type IV.

Yes. You can use Dexron 3. To help, these are some of the options you have. These are not your only options, just the ones in my database.

The issue you should be concerned with is why your transmission oil is getting low..

People need to start doing their own findings.. All the information you are giving him is readily avaliable on line.. Why don't you guys preach that ...he can always get a second opinion too ..." Teach a man how to fish, not give him fish " .. .
Most of the things I learn here ,I research them online.. We need to be at times self educated ... I can recall a link was posted to help those looking for the right weight of oil for their car.... Encourage people to self sufficient, that is how you help people...

Ok no problem better that way... the only reason I said that ..Is that quite often people will ask in the from. Oga I have 07 camry, what type of oil do I need for my car... and I think to myself can't you just Google it ? And few times we put up a link that can help you identify the weight of oil you need like going to mobiloil.com ..

And also I like to commend you, for your calm response to my criticism.. It seems I was a bit harsh , but I meant no harm in any way

Don't engage him. Look around car talk and you'll see why.
