Bejust4m:
well the mechanic will be coming tomorrow to work on it, hopefully. I will update you once more after the work is done..

Bejust4m:
Good morning, sir.

So, the oil was checked, and the vehicle was parked for 48 hours. The mechanic checked again and said that if the oil level had dropped, then the engine was likely in bad shape. However, since the oil wasn't leaking significantly, just a few drops, he thinks it might be a faulty oil filter.

What do you think about that, sir?

Bejust4m:
Hello everyone, good evening! I just got a used Nigerian Toyota Camry 08 XLE.
It's my first car..

The mechanic checked everything out – engine, gearbox, and catalyst – and gave it a thumbs up. The only thing he mentioned was some work needed on the car's shaft and oil filter because of [b]oil leakage [/b]he spotted..

Could anyone recommend some essential maintenance I should get done now that I have it?

Also, what scan tool would you suggest I get for it? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Highway routes help for sure and 400 miles weekly is a lot. Good to know.

I planned the G35 years ago but didn't go through with it. I'm looking at the Q50 now, hopefully next year.

Do you still intend to keep or upgrade?

laivwire:
I hear these ladies are quite thirsty but I see your engine code is different from the VQ35DE.

Share some of the things you learnt so I can also learn from you.

Good morning,How much is the mobil1 nd also the Pennzoil

I have told him that the oil will not work well for the US spec Mercedes. He said na lie. Even Toyota will never recommend that Mobil ESP oil for any of its cars requiring 5w30. It is not gasoline engine oil only. That's why the starburst logo is not found on the ESP but it is found on the Mobil 1 Extended performance. He is selling his oil based on his old ways of telling people to use Mobil 1 for Kia Rio and the engines started smoking and died subitement.

Biodun1929:
PTSD ke! Crazy

senator2k9:
Pls don't derail the topic. The oil you posted is 229.51 and 229.52 despite it being 5W30. That oil is for diesel engines. Stop destroying people's car because you want to sell.

Always give your car the same attention you would to a baby—it often shows signs before breaking down. Detecting faults early can save you significant money and extend your vehicle's lifespan.

Dangote’s fuel is quite good… not same as the cheap mixture NNPC sells

It is a wrong header. The Audi from the US is not a European car. It's a US spec and everything is US. My client that had an A6 from the US and he needed ECU for the car ànd ordered it from Germany only to be told to get it from the US. The keys for Mercedes cars can only be ordered from the US and not Germany. So as money full your hand, you dey look for car wey you want to spend money on, first thing first, which fuel are you going to use. The dealer has escaped from the country thankfully and you are thinking of strange things.

The Esp Mobil 1 can not work for Mercedes cars. This oil was what Peugeot Kaduna recommended to replace Total for the 508 in 2012. It is a C3 oil which is OK for the Peugeot 508 and also ideal for 2014 Diesel Range Rover engine. Range Rover recommended C1 or C2 engine oil for their diesel engine but it does not exist till now. A US spec of Mobil 1 0w40 comes in SN, SP and not ACEA 1 or 3. The Esp Mobil 1 is from the Egyptian refinery of Mobil and they can never produce oil for US spec of Mercedes. Mercedes came to Nigeria to be destroyed by their proud owners with their money.

autoscandoc:
It's always advisable to use the appropriate recommended engine oil when servicing any car. Another challenge is getting the original cos too many fake ones in the market now.

sooperrescue:
Cylinder misfire is an engine issue coupled with turbo is not advisable. It's fuel related. Maybe Dangote fuel is still limited to Eleko. Mercedes was sent to Nigeria to suffer and die.

senator2k9:
They're not problematic as you think. What is the major problem is poor maintenance culture. I went to fix my Mercedes-Benz the other day and I saw the technician using a 5w30 for a Mercedes-Benz because he feels it's a full synthetic oil. Mercedes-Benz is a high temperature car and using the conventional Toyota oil on your Mercedes-Benz will make it lose its viscosity at a high temperature.

I've driven my turbo charged 4 cylinder 2014 C250 for over 2 years now and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Richhard:
I need Brake pads for 11 Rav4, the ones sold in Nigeria makes noise.

How much Is it?

minista94:
And if you decline my business, I will die?

Abi the product is free?

Your advert picture is always different from what you're selling, how many times have I shown you that?

minista94:
Which one is what I'm scanning? Is there another way of scanning?

minista94:
I don't think it shows the viscosity of the oil, the one i got from you does not show such.
