I really appreciate the good works you are doing, I noticed coolant loss on my Toyota Highlander 2004, took it to the mechanic and he replaced radiator cap, still had same issues and car got overheated, took it back and noticed a leak on the plastic part on the top of the radiator, he replaced the plastic part and still same issue of coolant loss after driving, while washing the car this morning, I noticed lots of coolant on the rear floor just behind the front passenger seat, the coolant gets so much and also little around the front passenger just along the door side, but that if the rear floor seems so plenty after driving what could be the cause and solution I would appreciate thanks

Morning.

Please I drive a Honda Accord 2004(Automatic transmission). Recently, i have been having issues with the gear. When the gear is on drive, it hesitates and revs before jerking forward, and I notice this is usually occurs between the GEAR 1-2 on the dashboard.

The issue actually started after I took my car for engine wash; then i noticed whenever i changed gears; either from drive to reverse or park, it jerks forward of backwards depending on the direction. I took it to my mechanic, he changed the gear switch and oil. The jerking during the gear change stopped, but the revving and jerking while accelerating didnt. Although, as soon as the speed increases to like 6okm/hr, or above gear2 sign on the dashboard, it doesnt occur anylonger. Until i slow down, and when i try to increase speed, it does so again.

I've tried two seperate mechanics, who have also tried changing the gear switch but problem still persists.

Do you have an idea what could be wrong?

No offense taken at all. I actually wanted to start a discussion. A little background info:

I used 20w 50 oil for donkey years. In fact there was a time when it was the only viscosity available, if I remember correctly.

I then joined NL and some people on here who know quite a bit about cars said 20w 50 oil is simply not suitable for modern engines. The arguments for and against have been on ever since.

I switched to 5w 30 some years ago and have been using it without any issues. The question though is why motor manufacturers would approve certain viscosities only for the Middle east/Africa? What is the reason?

jceesquare:
Absolutely correct.
I'd recommend a 20W50 oil to an old car (especially those with engines that has wide oil passage) and with very high millage (please take note of the bolded and check your cars oil chart ooO to avoid stories that touches the heart biko). I have an antique that I use as my daily driver and when going to remote inter places and I use a 20W50 on it (dem no born me well to switch to the recommended 5W30 ). Some cars modified for drift, track races and other abused high rev purposes use a thicker 20W50 for extra protection. The secret to enjoying your car with that grade of oil is frequent oil change, and please make sure you're easy on the throttle and you do not rev the engine unnecessarily at cold start until you have good oil circulation to the top. But when the oil don flow reach the top and engine reaches optimum temperature, you can fire down till the rev counter breaks.
My antique still purrs and steams till tomorrow with over 300k millage on it from my calculation.

We have fully synthetic 20w50 always in stock
