This is a poor job at PRO/advertising. Your use of "dangerous" to generalise your bad investment choice is highly uncalled for.

Hello Autosupport, please my Toyota Camry 07 is telling me maint reqd, I serviced it in March with Mobil 1 5W-20 extended performance high mileage formula and since then I have travelled less than 4000 miles. I notice that when I want start the engine, it signals the main reqd but disappears after sometime.

The engine oil is supposed to go for nothing less than 15000 miles. Kindly assist with this, thanks.

You need to reset the Maintenance required light.

Here is how to:

1. Switch of car, open ignition but engine off.

2. On your dashboard (instrument cluster). You will see one long black knob. Press it to toggle between mileage, Trip A and Trip B.

3. Press down, till trip A resets to Zero.

4. Press again and hold the knob down on trip A.

5. Switch off ignition and switch back on. You will see something like the this. : - - - - -

6. Hold down till the lines go off.

That's it. You have reset your maintenance required light.

Nb:

1. You might to try out at trip B, or odometer reading if hold down at A doesn't work.

2. The maintenance interval for your camry should be 5,000 miles (when recommended oil is used, you can confirm this from your manual) , not 15,000 miles. Whoever sold that oil will claim it will do 15,000 miles. Most oil sold in Nigerian market are not any different from groundnut oil. Quality synthetic oil formulated to do that mileage will actually go 15,000 miles. But don't take the chance. Change your oil every 5,000 miles.

Here is a video on how to reset your maintenance required light.

AutoSupport:

Neil0072009:


Please where can I see the miles my Toyota Camry has travel to know when to change oil please

Cause I am just changing oil when I think it’s a bit black

AutoSupport:


I have attached two images with this post.

The first is a sample of an odometer reading.

The second is a knob you can press, till you see ODO. It will toggle between Trip A, Trip B, ODO. The ODO reading is your cars millage.

That black long knob, press it till you see ODO.

Let me know if I could help further

Regards

AutoSupport:


Let's say the ODO is 145,650 when you did your last oil change. Add 5000, that means your next oil change is 150,650

Btw, your camry will pop out maintenance required warning when your car is due for oil change. The algorithm used in determining this has just the recommended oil factored.

Using your 5,000 addition is most reliable.. The 5000 miles also apply when you use recommended oil. The recommended oil viscosity and API rating is written on the engine oil cap.

I guess this is for engine oil, does same miles apply to 04 corolla or just Camry? What about gear oil, when is it recommended for change? Thanks for ur help sir.

AutoSupport:


Yes it does, if you are using 5w30

The Transmission fluid should be be changed every two years, or 50,000 km , which ever comes first(this is standard recommendation). Though the 04 corolla has around the transmission dipstick written lifelong fluid. Albeit for normal usage.

Your owners manual is your best bet for routine service information and specifications.

Bros, don't go and ruin people's gears of. 15k miles or one year is the standard recommendation for transmission fluid changes.. I have seen those cars that the manufacturer claims does not need fluid changes but we find out that the oil is dirty and less than 3 litres out of 8.
