3kay945: The vehicle is Rav4 ' 02. Bought naija used last year. I was told by a guy at Ladipo that I have manual brain box installed.
I was Surprise cos I didnt believe such could be possible. But looking at the BrainBox housing, it clearly shows that it's has been tampered with.
I will appreciate if gurus in the house help in determining if actually I have manual or automatic BrainBox.
It's my first car and still a learner. Thanks in advance.
PS. This the number on the BrainBox body
275000-2010 12V 89666-28021 Denso Toyota your original engine ecu was thrown out because it was about to desroy your tranmsission. Sadly the Original ECU can be fixed in a couple of minutes.
Presently you have a 2az engine ecu, car starts, but temp guage and AC controls do not function. Wires have been by passed to make it work.
To solve your present issues. You will need.
1. Your original engine ecu
2. A new instrument cluster
3. Factory re-wiring on all present connections.
It will cost you almost ~100k or more to get it done right.

VolvoS60: The oil 'question' still remains...
2008 RAV4 (Auto Transmission): Used 20w 50 motor oil (20w 50 oil is one of the oils recommended in the owners manual that came with the car) every 5000km since the vehicle was bought in 2008. No engine problems whatsoever in 9 years except for a leaking valve cover seal, replaced in 2016. After going through what's been said in so many auto forums over the years, I switched to 5w 30 (expensive ) this year. Still no problems so far. No smoking and oil consumption has remained unchanged - no oil needed between services.
Have done two transmission drain & refills in 8 years, with the most recent being 2 months ago. No major transmission issues except a stiffness (which comes and goes) and which we have learned to live with.
2012 Camry A/T): Also used 20w 50 motor oil since the vehicle was bought in 2012. Again no engine problems whatsoever till I switched to 5w 30 this year. And still no problems so far. (And again, 20w 50 is recommended in the owners manual that came with the car). Have never done a transmission drain & refill. No transmission problems so far.
Fuel economy is definitely much better in both vehicles with the 5w 30 motor oil - i guess that offsets part of the high cost of the motor oil. The big question is this: why does Toyota recommend 20w 50 oil if (according to so many people) its no good? I need to see the manual |

gbolly707: Sir Gazzuzz,
Car is a toyota camry 2000 I changed my engine oil to manufacturer's specification(5W30) but unfortunately there is a leak from the engine oil drain plug and when i checked underneath the car, it was soiled with engine oil . I used the 20W50 for about 2 years and I always changed the oil every 3 months (less than 2000 Miles) religiously and I never had issues as regards leakage from the engine oil drain plug but underneath the engine was still soiled with engine oil.
Question now is; Do i revert to the 20W50 oil and then how to i stop the engine from being soiled with oil. if your mechanic cannot solve a drain plug leak, replace mechanic. |
Car Talk › Re: Need Help On The Type Of Mobile Oil To Use On My Avalon 2002 by GAZZUZZ(m): 1:55pm On Oct 30, 2017 |
If you started with full synthetic engine oil (5w-20/5w30/0w-40/15w30 etc...) stick with it, but if you ave straYed from the manufacturer path and you are using 20w50, dont come back, engine will burn oil. Stick with your 20w50, just get a good brand and use responsible oil change intervals to avoid problems. |

GAZZUZZ: you currently have a clogged transmission strainer.
Clean/replace and car will work fine.
BUT
You have bits of metal filings blocking strainer presently.
Gear will continue to fail at intervals.
Each time you clean strainer it will work.
Replace gear.
