Car Talk › Re: MY TOYOTA Corrola Give Strange Sound After Servicing Up Till This Moment by dru23(m): 2:19pm On Sep 11, 2021 |
Grupo: Wow. This is truly scary!
If I were you, I would have drained the oil immediately I heard the sound for the first time.
1. I think the previous owner of that car was using 20W 50 oil for an extended period. But wasn't changing the oil regularly, hence sludge built up inside the engine.
2. You now poured synthetic oil into the engine which washed off all the built up sludge, causing engine components to grind against each other.
Check if the car is smoking.
3. It's likely the oil you bought is fake.
If I were you, I'd drain the oil immediately and pour Mobil 20W 50 into the car and observe.
That sound appears like there is no oil at all inside the engine.
Remember, all I have just said are mere conjectures.
I really wish you luck because that engine sounds like it's gone. You are assessment is on point ..... COROLLA are 1 of the most abuse cars especially when bought naija used.. There is these mentality that since it is a Toyota the car can take abuse and you don't need much maintenance and thereby neglecting basic maintenance.. This is why people buy Toyota........ |

engrfaruq: I cam see the positive axis stopping at 100°F, but here in Nigeria, my car records up to 105°F. I believe it's safer to use oil with higher viscosity, as indicate in the last sentence of the chart you posted up there. Kindly compare the two charts and tempt range.. The 5w20 has the same tempt range on the chart as the 5w30. So in that case should we move up to 5w40 or 5w50 ........... If u keeping moving up to higher viscosity u end up damaging ur oil pump and engine ... The oil will be too thick to circulate enough at the beginning of engine start up ..... Engine damage usually occurs at start up ......... engine oil has improve over the years with advance technology ...... Car owners should try and follow manufacture advice all the time .... When these oil were been formulated the engineers factor in highest tempt to coldest tempt that those oil can operate in ..... Let us be guided so as not to lead the public astray of their earn hard money..... The engineer and manufacture know best....... Ps .. You stated that your car sometimes records up to 105 F outside tempt It has hard to believe and if it is so how frequently those that occurred to justify using higher weight oil

engrfaruq: 0W20 was indicated on my car but I use 5W30, and I encounter no issue at all. 0W20 is quite light for our wheatear, my candid opinion. Plz look at the chart below and see what temperature Nigeria weather falls under....... Good quality oil will do well under extreme tempt

engrfaruq: Two things happended with the 5W20 you used.
1. It's viscosity is low, so it's not recommended for use in got wheatear areas like Nigeria, cos once the oil gets hot, it will be too light and cannot lubricate the engine. [/b]
2. You even used more than the required quantity, so the engine compartment was quite chaotic, because there was light oil and plenty of it for that matter. .. Car owners should do their research and read owners manual The correct oil for that 2010 corolla is 5w20 or 0w20 ... .. Either oil weight will give best protection under extreme heat ........ If you buy quality oil the additives will lubricate the engine well enough under extreme temperatures... The chart below illustrates that.... Simple as 1, 2, 3 Nigerian Temperature falls under that chat....... 1. I will agree with u 1000% that too much oil was put inside the engine.. From the looks of things it seems the mechanic empty out the whole 5liter of oil.. Corolla engine are small and that engine should take no more than 3liters at most....maybe 2.5liters .. Too much engine oil can cause damage to the oil........
The best bet like u said is for the guy to empty out the oil and have someone that knows what they are doing to properly gauge the oil Modify and point of correction. Oil capacity is listed below on the chart.. Corolla takes about 4.1liters...

A semi educated black African migrant menial worker over “there in the USA” who their society tramples upon daily both physically and mentally to the extent that the only place he can feel superior in any way is to look back towards his home country’s citizens on a faceless forum and try to project an image of competition and accomplishment in every single opportunity he gets just to feel better about himself?
Leave that guy. His issues are heavy upon his shoulders. When someone can’t write a single paragraph without putting the statement ‘here in the USA’, you should know that person considers the fact that he could afford a one way plane ticket at a particular time in his past to be the greatest achievement of his life till date.
His character will never change. We will manage him like that. Being ‘in the usa’ has really made him the greatest man from his village and we should commend him for that.

Dovehorizon: You are too quick to broke shame people who are working hard to earn a living legitimately. A lot of people were not privileged to enjoy certain luxuries of life hence the reason they have to work their fingers to the bones to get their daily bread. Meanwhile, there is no shortcut to success, the day you plant a seed isn't the day you will harvest, you will have to nurture and watch it grow. He is not trying to live life on a fast lane that's why he gat keep his "gloves dirty but his hands clean" or you think a lot of people whom you have broke shamed haven't bin pitched a narrative of get rich quick (diabolic ways) but they decide to uphold a moral standard.
