Thank you so much sir, the Tech guy didn't use any fancy equipment ..he just rolled and rolled the compressor , he said it shouldn't be rolling that way , that's the culprit, he was like no matter the amount of gas I put , it will still lead to changing the compressor , he checked the condenser and said that it needs replacing since the compressor will be replaced... There is no AC Tech people around here with any fancy equipment ... I'm in the east
A VDC , variable displacement compressor will roll freely when turned with the pressure line blocked. Manual will not. That game was just to make you feel it was defective

You can come back.

As a people we are an international disgrace, we give and accept bribes for covid tests, it's known world wide. Ghana is only protecting it's reputation so it does not get blacklisted because of nigerians with fake test results .

You can always fly back and use another country if you are in a hurry.

Pls I will like to also know what engine oil is the recommended oil for Corolla 2004
Remove the tyre, you will find the leak.


Recommended oil is what you have been using, just get a good brand

Car was parked for 10 months toyota camry 2009 XLE V6 .. the first day I drove it, noticed the AC is blowing hot air ... I immediately went for a refill , after the refill, the Cold air wasn't top notch, also the drivers vent was blowing warm air , but the other vents was blowing cold air ... The AC guy suggested my valve wasn't good , he suggested I should drive it around for a day and give him feedback, a day later all the vents started blowing hot air , I went back to his garage he removed the radiator and Condenser , he checked the Compressor , from his diagnosis he said the compressor is bad .. that it's turning almost at will ( free will) ... He suggested I should change the compressor and condenser also the valve. .. he suggested manual Compressor , that the Automatic compressor will pack up real soon .... When we went to buy the Automatic compressor like I insisted , on getting to the Tokunbo shop , the sellers said they won't give me any warranty for the compressor, it's at owners risk ... Please what's you guys suggestions What happened to my Ac is it a packed up Compressor Should I go about getting the manual Compressor fitted
You parked a functional vehicle for 10 months and the AC was not working when you came back ( a leak), refilled and all vents were not as cold as should be and became warm next day (a leak) At this point find leak. 3 possibilities .

Compressor shaft seal ( can be checked manually without any equipment)

Pipes ( visual inspection can be used and soap suds)

Evaporator unit. ( You can actually smell refrigerant in the cabin if leak is that fast)

Standard I would use a vacuum machine and my digital pressure gauge to find the leak very easily, but not every one has fancy equipment.

I do not think your compressor is bad. Find the leak, fix, oil the compressor , replace the O rings, joints, vacuum and recharge properly (0.7-0.8kg of refrigerant)

You said you used the same hardex oil before without issues right? Changed it out at October and then parked it for a while before finding out that it’s puffing out blue smoke?

I’d hazard a guess that one or more of your piston rings is stuck or your pcv valve is bad. To rule out the rings sticking you will have to perform a leak down test on all the cylinders just before you perform your next oil change

Do not change to a higher weight of engine oil until you’ve pinpointed a bad cylinder wall as the actual cause of your oil burn.
Your thoughts?

Pls house, I need advice.
1. Does changing brand of engine oil affects the engine?
I want to change my car engine oil. The car is Honda Pilot. I used Mobil 1 5W-20 Advance Full Synthetic motor oil, but intend to change to another brand with the same 5W-20 but relatively cheaper.
2. Or must I stick to Mobil 1that's currently in the engine?
3. Which genuine brand do you recommend? Cheaper than mobil 1.
4. The price and where to buy in Lagos?

Thanks

easysunny post=91386516:
1. No top up in-between. Only changed the oil 6 months ago.

2. No leakage of engine oil from the engine.

3. Interval of 6 months. Only changed it once since I bought the car ie about 6 months ago.

4. About 3000 + miles.

5. The present mileage is 160,315.

I don't use the car often. This will be my 2nd change of oil since I bought tokunbo.
I just notice that blue like smoke comes out from the exhaust when I raise the accelerator. It doesn't happen before like that.
Then I checked the oil percentage and it's 30%.
That's the reason i intend to change the oil since it's over 6 months now i changed the oil.

What's your advice based on these information?

Thanks
July 2020

easysunny:
Okay. Thanks for the advice.
Now, what do you suggest for me. Can I change to another brand other than mobil 1 but same 5W-20? Or must stick to the mobil 1?
I'm looking at the cost.
Any one to recommend to me?

Thanks

Greetings Gazzuz & other Ogas in the house.

Pls I need help. My 2008 Honda Pilot develop some problems.
The radiator fans stopped working unless I turn AC on. If the AC is on the fans will be working okay, but once AC is off, the fans will not spin.
This problem started when car AC worked on it. The AC man damaged the radiator when trying to remove compressor coil which he said spoiled. In order to remove the coil, he brought out the radiator & other parts. The opening that connect the gear oil hose was damaged. Without telling me he block the gear oil from entering the radiator. This resulted to car jerking & transmission overheating. It was discovered and the radiator was repaired and reconnected back properly.
Now, 2 days ago, I noticed that the fans are not working unless AC is On. If I on the engine without AC, the engine + radiator will be hot & bring out smoke as fan is not working. However, the temperature reading is still normal at middle.
I approached a Rewire at my area, after checking told me that the Thermostat has spoiled. That I've to REMOVE THE THERMOSTAT & RUN THE FAN DIRECTLY. But I refused because I've read that it's not advisable to remove Thermostat.
Now, for me to use the car, the AC must be On so that the fans can work.

Pls, what could be the problem & how to fix it?

Thanks

Yes. I've used mobile 1 5w20. Then used Stallion 1 5w20. But I'm thinking of changing to Hardex 5w20. I heard it's Okay. Mobile 1 price is high & most often scarce. Hardex is relatively cheaper to mobile 1

Pls house help! My car, 2008 Honda Pilot recently brings out blue smoke from exhaust when I accelerate. I recently changed engine oil, that was on October. I used Hardex 5w20.
However, I didn't use the car often because I wasn't around. It was mostly packed.
NB: I used the same Hardex 5W20 earlier & didn't have any such issue.
Aside the blue smoke coming out from the exhaust, no other issue seen.

What could cause the blue smoke coming out?
Do I need to change the oil again?
What should I do?

Thanks

Can I use 20w50 against the recommended oil 5w20 written on the seal? Will 20w50 be OK for Honda pilot?
Recommended has left the chat. You are currently sitting with salvage, and discussing present situations.


You can still check the PCV if it is blocked, but not very likely
