I did an engine Oil change on my 2006 pilot yesterday
then i saw a notice - Oil life 15% and a spanner sign after the change
how do i handle that?
2006-2015 Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. If the engine oil life is not displayed press the SEL/RESET knob in the instrument panel repeatedly until it is. Press and hold the SEL/RESET knob in the instrument panel for about 10 seconds or until the maintenance item code(s) begin to blink.
plan to buy a Camry (03-06) or a Matrix XR (03-06)(both naija-used) though would prefer the Camry cause of space. I've several advice from people to avoid the 05 and 06 Camry because they come with a 13pin transmission and that it gets bad quickly and costly to replace too. I'm in urgent need of your professional advice. thank you
very good advice. Stick with the 02-04 camry. The xr rear suspension parts are hard to come by. You are better off avoiding the XR also.
ABBG: Hello sir,somebody directed me to you,sir I want to know the price of a Nigeria used Toyota yaris,I want to use it for uber business,sir,i want you to know that am new in it,so your advice will be highly appreciated,I look forward to hearing from you thanks
Nigerian used Yaris are usually in a horrible state. You should consider a corrola 03-07 for E-hailing
DukeNija: Ok. Makes sense. My car specifies 5w30 as the oil grade but I used 0w40 at the last oil change(stupid mechanic) I wish to go back to 5w30 at my next service. Is there any reason I shouldn’t?
I drive a 2003 Honda Accord V6. (Note AC compressor is bad) 4 days ago I started noticing water shortage on radiator, depending on usage, sometimes I add as much as one and half litres of water.
Something happened this evening, I noticed my son was complaining of how wet his sandals were, so I decided to check. Lo and behold, lake nyasa was present beneath the passenger side of the car. holy Jesus. And the water was warm too.
It's important to note that the water leakage from the radiator does not drip on the floor. I want to ask, is it possible that the water shortage on the radiator drains into the car??
I will be patronising Keke, till this issue is resolved. professional inputs from the car gurus will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!

DukeNija: But why don’t people just buy from Mobil filling stations though? Aren’t they even cheaper? Or is the oil a different spec? Just asking for information. Thanks
1. These are made in the USA under better quality standards and ratings.
2. There are many oil grades unavailable in the petrol station. Eg is in picture below. The last picture is a can from the petrol station.
Samanthawebb919: PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP CAR GURUS IN THE HOUSE
I drive a 1992 Toyota Camry manual transmission.
Lately the car started having occasional/intermitently sluggish acceleration while in motion. It's would accelerate normal sometimes slowly. I have changed fuel pump, fuel filter in fuel tank and engine bay) Car idles perfectly and raises well when throttle is pressed. Gear box in good condition. Please I need helpful suggestions.
have you checked the sparkplug Wires? What of loose connections on the injectors?
HeavenlyBang: Oil lamp isn't an oil bad warning, it's a low oil pressure warning. If your oil light comes on, stop immediately and get your car towed. Doing otherwise leaves you with a busted engine 95% of the time.
