No bẹ the same 1ZZ-FE dey the car?

If your dipstick has not been changed at any time, your Corolla must use nothing less than 4 litres.

Mobil 1 10W-30 High Mileage Advance Full Synthetic Motor Oil-1 Quart. How many of these 1 Quart do i need for my Toyota corolla 2005 to be gauge in when doing service?

You actually need a little over 4 litres (4.4quartz or 4.2 litres). Buying 5 * 1 Quartz is not cost effective. Save money, buy a single 5 Quartz keg.

Good day guys, please guys, is there any timeframe for one to refill or top up car Air Conditioner gas irrespective of perfomance? I have been using mine for about one year running now, and it's the one that came with the car as I am yet to top up the gas or anything, although, I feel my other car that I topped up seems to 'chill' more than this one.

It's a closed loop system, ẹ no need top up if e no dey leak. Ask your car wash to blow the condenser and change your cabin filter then report back on the chill.

Hello Guys, I am thinking of changing my 2005 Corolla tyres from 195/65 r15 to 205/70 r15 or 195/70r15 or 215/65 r16

The aim is mainly to achieve a higher ground clearance. Is this recommended or is there a better alternative? and is it safe . Please. Current tires are bad.

Thanks for the response

Smaller wheel wells, Corolla no be SUV. Very big tyres won't allow you turn properly àbí make e kuku commot your front bumper. 205/65/15 or 205/60/16 to be safe.

Hi everyone,

Please, is it necessary to change oil filter every time there’s an oil change? My mechanic changed my oil few days ago and I asked why didn’t he change the oil filter too, he told me it’s not necessary for now, that it can be changed on the next service. Could that be true?

Thanks

PS: I own Es 350 2013 Model and the oil was the filter I guess came with it, because it’s a tokunbo car...


Ahhh

Change Mechanic first.

Then we'll ask which oil you used to change before you'll now change both oil and filter properly.

Good morning gurus, I got a Lexus gs300 last decemeber, I didn't know the car will be that low, the road that leads to my house was very bad and the car has been constantly hitting the floor. So i want to ask, can this damage anything in one month? The road has been repaired now but my car now makes a rattle sound anytime i start it, it is worse if it's the first start of the day.

Check if your belt is tight, or a worn out pulley or belt tensioner. Not necessarily a function of bad roads

Second question, the two back tyre rims have black residue on them, it even leaves the black dust on the ground, someone suggests i need to change the brake pad? Is that the case?

Brake pads, yes. Get a quality replacement and get it cleaned thoroughly with a brake cleaner before reinstalling

Third Question, I want to service my car, previous seller was using Toyota SL SAE 20w/50 ( black keg) but i can't find that same exact one here in ibadan, the closest i found is Toyota SJ SAE 20w/50 ( red keg) can i use that instead? Or can i use another oil ( your recommendation?)

Your car actually requires up to 6 litres of 5W30 oil, not 20W/50. If the previous seller has been using it for a long while though, just get a good brand and stick to that. Total Quartz 5000, Castrol GTX

Fourth Question, I did wheel alignment a month ago and since then my afs light has been on, it seems i have to make adjustments to the afs sensor? But most mech here don't really know what that is, what do i tell them to check and where? Or can someone recommend to me a good mechanic in ibadan? Thank you

Go back to the alignment pit. Locate the Lighting/Height Control Sensor (refer to attached image) and be sure nothing is broken or out of place. Na this one I feel the bad roads might have affected.

If you want to fix it right, you need to have the sensor arm at the middle of its range when the car is neutral and at normal ride height.

What's the best advice? Should I continue using water?


If there's no leak, no overheating and you don't top up the radiator everyday, and your fuel consumption is okay by you, stick to water.

Your car probably runs the fans directly, so the engine will definitely not reach operating temperature.

Reverting to coolant will mean you have to replace radiator, thermostat and some pipes or you may be lucky.

Boss, please can you recommend a coolant for my 1998 Honda CRV. I'm removing the water for coolant. The water is too brownish

Brownish water may be from rust in the cooling system. Be prepared for leaks after changing to coolant.

You can replace with Honda Type 2 coolant or any ethylene glycol based product. Drain the system properly (raditior and engine) to get the bad stuff out.

Good day every one.. I need help with a 2001 Toyota Camry..

I bought this vehicle two months back from a friend. Vehicle is still very okay and drives fine. But then, when I ever start the vehicle in the mornings or throttle it down while idle there is this rattling sound coming from the engine.

Note It doesn't affect the performance of the vehicle in anyway, it drives fine.

So I had my mechanic check it out and he said the engine top had been tampered with before. I called my friend and he confirmed this. My mechanic suggested we get another engine top for the vehicle.. I sourced for it myself and brought it to him, which he confirmed before installation. After everything I still hear the same noise, though it reduced. And there are no warning lights on the dashboard.

Definitely not your Valve cover (if that's what you are referring to as engine cover)

You'll have to listen properly to ascertain where the noise is coming from. It could be anything from a worn belt, bad bearings, pulleys or belt tensioner.

A personal experience on two different cars have two different culprits; 1MZ was a bad alternator bearing (replaced the alternator and it went away)

1ZZ was a bad pulley + Belt tensioner. The sounds come up at cold start and go away after a while, pressing down on the throttle pulled the pulley and caused the whining sound.

Not sure the 5S engine has vvti, so that one is eliminated. It's knock sensor too can be a culprit.

GAZZUZZ:




If you were to put coolant on your finger, you'll notice it has an oily feeling to it, but not like engine oil, more like soap and it rinses off easily, unlike engine oil.

When coolant turns brown from pink, it should be drained and refilled.

Same coolant that protects the cooling system , can become a catalyst for accelerated corrosion when overdue in a cooling system.







Thanks, will do a flush and replace.

Good day, could coolant/antifreeze be oily? Like it's slippery and won't wash off with water. It smokes when it touches the hot exhaust.

Same content is in overflow tank and same at the radiator drain plug. Color is brownish, for a car that supposed to be pink/red.

Car drives fine without any overheating.
