Nor saying you are wrong, I experienced the same thing until my mechanic had to revert to the oil I was using. [b]The mistake I made them was that I didn't ask the former owner the engine oil he was using to service the car, [/b]but lots of people here then suggested the engine oil i uses then because of the high mileage.

TO the bolded, never do that, the information is online free of charge and I know in Toyota this weight is written on the oil fill CAP.I have a sienna and its written in the oil fill cap in this case its 5W30.What I am advocating for is for owners of cars should spend a least 5 hours of their life to know about their cars, ie Fluids, service intervals, proper battery you need, Imagine putting a 70amps battery in a 100amp car. Your car will be showing symptoms of HIV lol.SO the crox is, Guys got to do a little bit of research about their car and have a basic idea, Mechanics don't do this and to them one size fits all. Some of them do not upgrade. If your car is from 2013 and you have a fault in your car you take it to a mechanic they do not have a basic Scan tool, don't let them touch your car, no xcuse.

sunnymighty:
Stick to what you are using since it is working for you. You will eventually kill that engine if you keep changing the oil. Be guided.

This is how Oil pump fails, when you use a higher viscosity grade oil. The bores of the oil path are streamlined to take certain weight ,puting overweight oils puts a strain on the Oil pump which will fail eventually, it might take 10 years but it will happen. It wil create unnecessary pressure and your seals will fail. As you know now the pressure is already causing Oil and water to mix, hats one symptom of using wrong weight. If you are mechanically clued up you know if your oil pump fails in motion you def need a new Engine.

No. They have fixed that. The car was worked on for two days this week. The creamy tea like substance only came once. I did not see it when I check the oil this morning. It was normal. Also the water was not short. Will check it again tomorrow morning.

Ok cool, there are two places water can mix with your oil,One via the gear box oil cooler,this does not get into the Engine, or if you head gasket is gone, number two yu will see the creamy bit inside your Engine oil sump, the 1st yu will see the creamy bit inside your gear box, so did they tell you which one was it?cos as we speak, I have same problem with my RRS but its the Gear box oil heat xchange unit, Its not serviceable and oh there is also an Oil cooler right under or by your oil filter too .So keep checking your radiator for oil in water or check your oil deep stick for water in oil. Monitor it for a week or two, I bet you any money that's where your problem lays, it has to do with oil.

NL1960:
Thanks for this key information. I avoid roadside mechanics for servicing because of this. I expect that Total servicing in Total filling stations will know and that is why I have been doing it there for more than 10years. I will adjust appropriately during the next service or do you suggest I drain out the present oil and switch to the 5W30 immediately?.

Ok nxt service switch to 5W30.I once went to a service station to change my OIl cos my o wn car uses same 5W30, but my car is Diesel so I brought my own oil,I swear, I saw these guys using same oil for every car

NL1960:
They said that it goes to the oil.

OK we getting somewhere, how does it get to the Oil? Did they tell you?B4 now could you see oil or creamy tea like substance inside your expansion tank ??

sharpwriter:
So do you get there and spend naira? Or how many people there have enough pounds to convert to naira and spend anyhow here?

Foreigners I know who spend more cash are Yankee people and a few from Canada. 1k pounds is 1k pounds and it is limited to the power of what it can do in the UK.

1k pounds here has value just like you said, but how many Londoners have that in savings to come spend here frivolously? They don't save such money at once over there except you into some kind of exceptional jobs or illegal biz. It takes time to accumulate it too.

Monthly billings wey dey take money for oyinbo land no be any body's mate. Most money made, after tax are only available for basic needs, firstly over there where they are living, before even thinking of enjoyment or investments here in their homeland.

aha Yankee, Bro no need to boaast, the Uk people are the only ones who can go anywhere and change thier money
People live here and save,Look I came to the Uk as a teenager and have ben here 25 years, so Im not gonna go xplain, but if life give u chance to come here, nor reason am, take off sharp

You did not invite your Best friend to the UK after 17yrs, you did not bring your brother over to the UK........All you can bring is your wife despite the series of News of how the wife's lacadaisical attitude in the UK fast track the deportation of husbands back to square one in Naija......Upon say he dey commit taboo, he even d shed emotional tears, I laff in Chinese......wonder shall never end.

The car has been shorting water but was fixed yesterday. Despite the heavy traffic yesterday evening, this morning when i check, the water was not short

Did they find out where the water goes?

NL1960:
The car is Toyota Corrolla(Bank Type). I have been using that grade since as it was recommended at Total as i have been doing the servicing there for many years now.

Wrong OIL,if your car was made B4 2008 the correct weight is 5W30 after 2009 it is 0W20,
On your Engine Oil cover it should be written on it.So you have been using the wrong oil ever since, who ever told you to use that Oil had no clue, just like so many self acclaimed Engineers aka road side. This is why I advocate for owners of cars to at least invest 1 to 2 hours of thier life to familiarize themselves with the kind of fluids and what the correct measure of it is to their car so that they can make informed decisions. People always want to sell what they have in Nigeria no one is honest when it comes to selling what they have and don't have.

NL1960:
Total QUARTZ 5000 20W50. Most times, i go back to service once the car has done 3000km.

was that what your manufacturer specifies?what car is it again? cos al you need do in google is type what Engine Oil do I need for toyota blah bla 19 da dadada or 20 dadadada

NL1960:
"Do you gauge your Oil in the morning?". Every morning before i leave the house.

I have been on the issue. The electrician that now worked on it this week said that it is the oil gauge sensor and will need to change it instead of repairing. The mechanic that even repaired it this week also change the oil. The mechanic and electrician were both on it.

You do not need to gauge your oil daily, but since its an issue you should monitor it.Regards the sensor, make sure you buy a brand new one.Also ask them to check to see that your oil pump is working proper,.Do not change your oil,this is waste of money
Let me ask, what is the weight of Oil used? do you know? is it something like 5W30?thickness

NL1960:
Well, i read a lot on it as i always do my service and information was that it can be tricky sometimes and not necessary an oil issue. The car moves very well and does not even make any sound. It only begins to show when iam in traffic for a long period and the temperature gets to middle. once i begin to drive and the temperature gauge drops, it disappears. Btw, i do not use roadside oil to service as i service from the filling station of one of the major marketers. My alarm started triggering when it started occurring during traffic.

That sign shows up with something to do with the level of your OIL
Could be
Oil gauge sensor malfunction
Oil shortage
Sign your Oil pump is failing.
Either of that is Dangerous.
Do you gauge your Oil in the morning?

NL1960:
Leave that one. How many people go to driving school?. You can even get a driver's license without going to a driving school.

This has nothing to do with satisfying the Authority rather to save your pocket, How on earth can someone be driving and they do not know the Engine Oil symbol? just How ? and that Symbol is the worse one to ever show up in motion it is usually accompanied by catastrophic Engine failure.

Hello, please I need help with my car,

My car was flooded last year and it affected my gear. I took it to a gear specialist and it was fixed and started working.

Last month I noticed that when I am increasing my speed from 40 to 60, my car does not respond immediately. It drags or jerks.

I took it back to my mechanic and I was told there was issues switching from gear 2 to gear 3 and that it skips gear 3 and goes to gear 4.

What could be the cause of this and what next steps should I take.

Car Model - 2011 Camry
Gear - 22 pin

you took it to a road side mechanic who does not
1 have the tool to re program the gear box as I suspect he performed a gear box flush which now means your car gear will function in an erratic way
2,Wrong cheap fluid.
3 wrong sequence in performing the fluid change and learning process.

NL1960:
Goodday Car gurus,

I noticed that this red light comes on my Toyota Corolla(Bank Type) once the temperature gauge gets to centre of the gauge especially when iam in traffic but once i rev, it disappears and also when i leave traffic and the temperature gauge drops below the centre, it disappears.

Please what could be the issue?.

You mean to tell us you do not know what that sign means? Really? and you have a driving licence
This situation is like being a banker and do not know what a calculator is

Hello Gurus in the house, please I need your help with my brothers 2011 Lexus ES350
Vehicle looses power while in motion.
Car has been scanned and it showed an error relating to the throttle pedal.
Throttle pedal was changed, yet issue persists.

Issue:
Vehicle looses power while in motion but engine is still running, just doesn't rev.
Sometimes when you want to overtake, pedal doesn't respond to acceleration.
While in motion, even when the gear is pushed to neutral, pressing the throttle, car doesn't rev then suddenly, it picks again

Things Done:
Fuel pump and filter checked and changed
Throttle pedal changed
Throttle body (Ejector mouth) changed
Plugs and nozzles checked, all fine.

What the possible cause of the issue?

you are dealing with road side mechanics
What need to be done is simple, Buy a new throttle body not used one, then they need a Dealer level tool to reprogram the throttle body actuator to learning mood, No matter what anyone does without the re programming of the throttle body, it wont work, At least the scan tool told you guys what the problem is. Also if the throttle pedal you fited was a working one, you need to follow a procedure to re learn it.I know the process for my range rover not Toyota, but Im sure you can look it up on line. its about putting on the ignition and depressing the pedal all the way to the floor, or ignition break and trottle pedal all the way to the floor for 10 to 20 mins,
