Car Maintenance Tips For Toyota Cars. by thegame(m): 9:22am On Jul 24, 2012
I use a toyota camry 2000 model,its my first buy though not my first car. I pamper this car though I know a car will always be a car. Anyway, I got to read this article on honda maintenance tips and I saw some people saying abro atf isn't so good for transmission. Meanwhile I use abro for gear n steering while I use total N2700(sw50 or so) oil for my engine. Anyway, I don't have a problem with my engine or transmission but any recommendations on how to maintain this car better for me and other toyota users would be welcomed.

Never used 1 before. but the ones I had opportunity to drive is so boring. Feels as if I am driving a box. How long have you been using the car? Stop using abro atf if you want your gear to last specially if you drive long distance all the time. It does not just spoil immediately when you use abro atf. It is a gradual thing.

With all †ђξ gear talks, I plan to service my gear on monday though. Any recommended gear oil n hw many bottles would be needed cos I buy my engine oil n gear oil from filling stations myself. I usually do not give mechanics money to buy them for me.don't trust them that much. I've been using d car for a year now though not extensive use but service is service jare. I keep my car clean

This thread died unlike the Honda thread because Toyota Cars are more suited for Nigeria.

The best engine oil to use for your car is indicated in the manual.
The best gear oil to use is written on the gear rod/stick under the hood used to gauge. Just pull it out, clean it to clearly see what is written on it. Funny thing is, I opened this thread without knowing it was me that even created it.

Car in question is long sold off but served me well as I used dexron II bought from Total. My other camry uses type T-IV transmission oil which is what I stick to. U

Lack of govt regulations and poverty affect the the way we manage cars here in Nigeria.

Imagine getting a worthiness (MOT)certificate with a check engine light on?

I want govt to stop 3rd party insurance... it is a scam.

As nigerians refuse to manufacture 5w 30 engine oil so they refuse to manufacture dexron t iv gear oil.

Honda has glass gears, Toyota has glass engines.

Use wrong fluids on Honda gear, you are roasted.

Use wrong oil on Toyota engines, you are toast.
