My Toyota Sienna 2000 model. For the people that av knowledge of destination I want to describe .
Travel from Gbagada to ibafo and from ibafo straight to ikorodu, ON A/C from Ketu down to ikorodu with free and clear road .
But when coming back from ikorodu to Gbagada I face traffic from Ajegunle to ketu which lasted for 2to3 hours with full A/C.
All these for #4000 fuel ...pls help me if it normal or consuming much fuel,So to kn what I Can do.
Pls save your brother.

Divide the miles traveled by the amount of gallons it took to refill the tank. The result will be your car's average Miles Per Gallon yield for that driving period. You can repeat this procedure every time you refill your tank to continue to monitor, and attempt to improve, your gas mileage. Source: eartheasy.com/article_gas_mileage.htm

wiring issues. just put everything right again. replaced alternator.

Inception:
You can have expensive tools and diagnostic machines and still mess things up. Understanding how systems work from first principles is the most invaluable tool any technician can ever own. In fact a 5 dollar 'Chinese' scanner will give me the same result you are explaining here: It will simply not power up!

kniru:
bros any show, might be in abuja soon to see you ooo

GAZZUZZ:

plz I want to know how true this is cos is ur word I'll take. I have a 99 siena. Jus last week the exhaust started making some noise, not a bad noise tho so I took it to a panel beating workshop for them to check it out. I was told the exhaust is leaking fuel. He demonstrated an act to prove to me. He start my siena and the engine was steaming, he then put foam to block that place that smoke comes out from the exhaust and then he forcefully removed the foam there was no sound.
He start another toyota camry and as the engine engine was steaming he repeated the same process he did on my siena he then forcefully removed the foam and their was a blow sound which never happened on mine. This he did to prove to me mine was leaking fuel.
He says he will loose the exhaust and work on it n everythn will be fine.
Please I want to know if anybody have an idea of this cos I need diverse opinion b4 I commit d guy to work on it 2mao morning.
Tnx
Please pardon my unorganized writing.

Mazdaenginepart:
I'm sorry to hear all this from you
But as my bro told me that its now working perfect

So sorry

@AutoElectNG

Kindly help out. P0725 and P0448 DTCs on a 2008 Nissan Sentra Se-R.

Any advice or referral to a reputable auto electrician would be helpful.

thanks

seunoresco:
Thanks bro. Recommended oil in the car manual is 10w30 or 5w30... Which brand can be easily purchased around. Thanks bro I appreciate

seunoresco:
Thanks @AutoElectNG . The similar car is also a v6 mazda millennia 2001 car, right?... Yes I know it doesn't have a sludge problem. Engine surely more tolerable to Toyota's . Just need to be sure before I change the oil to a 5w30 for next service date.

Olisa4all:
What did they do?

GAZZUZZ:
seems he even did not stop to buy palmwine

honmusa:
If you are open to the the challenge and like some adventures ,do you mind bringing this wonderful car to my workshop .I like experiment and knowledge ,i wont mind sparing some minute to see if it true there are some exception to the rules of lubrication(sludge prone or not ) , i will like to check up this car myself with my trusty diagnostics equipment to see if engine has not suffer any compression wear beyond reasonable threshold as you claim .

honmusa:
I also respectively disagree about that statement of somebody using that crude and wrong oil for 5 years and switch to 5w30 without any issues.
Let try to be near objectives in our conclusion about issues not to cause confusion to people that come to the forum to learn and get educated .
What scientific facts and figures did you come to arrive at such conclusion that the car is OK ?? cos in more than one decade of engineering practice I am yet to witness such feat.
I will advice you not be be forming analysis based on customer perspective alone so as not be led astray .

timifakay:
Just continue with your 20w50. You risk pushing out all the built up sludge in the engine if you change to 5w20 at this stage. This will lead to a smokey engine and oil shortage.
