Ask Your Mechanic..

I drive a V6 2004 Toyota Camry Big for nothing and the servicing was done on Saturday last week. I noticed that the engine oil light was showing on Friday night before doing the servicing.
The oil again showed after the servicing. On Sunday morning, the oil didn't show at all. I decided to travel with the car but the engine packed up.
Can I replace the engine with a Sienna V6 engine? Someone is offering me this. Though I would be adding some money, he is also taking my engine.

Hi. I drive a corolla 03. Its running smoothly but the issue I have is that it makes this loud, rumbling sound when I'm doing say 50 km/h and above. My mechanic said it was the shocks. I changed all 4 yet the noise persists. I don't know if its and engine problem but the engine runs smoothly when I start the car and no issues while driving at high speeds. The sound is like a high rumbling sound. It disappears when I decelerate and comes back when I'm doing those high speeds again. Any ideas how I can go about this pls?
Go and check the wheel bearings, u might need to replace them

I have a problem with my honda accord 2003 transmission. When engaged in drive, the D light blinks on the dashboard. Immediately the oil was changed from the brownish one in it to a dw1 oil with red cap. The problem still persists with vehicle not even moving forward now backward. Vehicle was then scanned and returned P0756 as result (Shift Solenoid B performance stuck off). The issue at hand now is I need a reliable seller of the Solenoid and possibly the person that can fix it trusted by the seller.

Pls on d thread of adding thinner to car fuel..i once did it few months ago, felt like it worked as it seems my my engine's performance was improved, i also advised a friend to do same(feeling cool on my latest discovery)..
So this morning i was about to do it again& was only looking for right quantity to use when i stumbled on this thread & alas! a scary revelation about this practice that "your dashbord will light up like xmas tree"- due to thinner's effect on your 'oxygen sensors'.�
Walahi my dashboard has enough lights to brightening inside@ night ,my speedometer,fuelguage, odometer,horns,etc suddenly stopped working...pls what can i do to rectify this and did all tis happened as a result of my 'wonderful discovery '�
