Read my words carefully. I just alerted you on a cheaper route of achieving about the same goal.

ok,thanks. Will give u a call

[quote author=autotrader2 post=51142999]Use the OEM oil for that. Toyota Motor Oil US Spec.
From the age of the ride, I can tell the engine would have sludge in it. You'll probably need to top it up several times and the Mobil-1 would be a little pricey for you to indulge in that. By the way, the Toyota Oil is made by same ExxonMobil for Toyota in the US.

Price is 2,500 per Quart. You can call me 09086679585 to get it. Are u saying if I use Toyota oil, I will not be topping it and how sure are u that the engine would have sludge inside.

autotrader2:
What vehicle do you want to use it on?

toyota corolla S 2004

Crixie:
The Mobil filling station nearest to you should have,I don't think it costs more than 12-14k

they don't ve that type

Greetings to all members, pls I would like to know the cost of Mobil 5w-30 oil [high mileage ] and where I can get one. It's very urgent. Thanks

greggng:
Have u gone to ladipo? Don't u ve a good mechanic?

my location is Ilorin, my mechanic told me he couldn't find one

I seriously need to replace this in my Toyota corolla o4, I ve searched everywhere in my area but couldn't find. How much would it cost if u can get it for me. Thanks

honmusa:
call my no ,I can put your through some test procedure.

OK thanks, I will call you soon

honmusa:
Depending on the extent of tear and wear damage the 20w50 will have done to your engine piston ring and main bearing. Do a compression test to verify if your cylinder compression is still intact before go ahead to change cos if your piston rings are already worn and you go ahead with the 5w30 which is lighter, your engine will be shorting oil .
Contact my signature if you are in Lagos if you need to conduct this test.

thank you for the response. It's unfortunate that my location is Ilorin. What do you suggest.

Good morning to you all, I was reading a thread on engine oil meant for Toyota corolla, and I found out that the correct engine oil specification is SAE 5W-30. I ve been using total quartz 5000 for servicing for almost a year now which is 20W50. My question is if i revert to the normal oil specification [5W-30],would there be any potential damage or effect on the car engine?.
Note; the car is Toyota corolla S, 04. Thank you, response from the professionals; gazzuz, honmusa and other experienced auto gurus. Anticipating your response.

Without the vital fluids for your Car, the Car would not start. And, even if you did get it started, it would not run for long before
the engine and transmission would self destruct. Even if the powertrain operated long enough to get you underway, you would soon discover
there was no way to bring the vehicle to a stop!Bottom line? The fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids used by your car play a crucial role in your personal safety and your vehicle’s reliability. You should never neglect these liquids nor take them for granted. The best way to make sure vital fluids receive the attention they deserve is to educate yourself and perform some basic checks on a regular basis. When it comes to these liquids, incorrect products, improper maintenance, and inadequate levels can lead to serious problems.

Engine coolant (sometimes called anti-freeze) prevents freeze-up in winter, fights overheating in summer, lubricates the water pump seals,
and protects the cooling system from rust and corrosion year round. Today’s vehicles employ three types of coolant technologies:
• Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT) is traditional green-colored coolant. This coolant provides fast-acting corrosion protection, but its additives deplete quickly so corrosion can result if the coolant is not changed regularly. IAT coolant is used in older vehicles and a declining number of newer vehicles.
• Organic Acid Technology (OAT) coolants are typically red or orange, but may also be purple or yellow. They offer long-life corrosion protection but are not compatible with other types of coolant. These coolants are used in newer General Motors vehicles and some imports.
• Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) coolants are typically yellow or orange. They combine the benefits of IAT and OAT for a very protective and long-life coolant, and are used in newer Ford and Chrysler vehicles and some imports.
Using the proper coolant in your vehicle is vital to long engine life, but color is not an accurate indicator of coolant type. In fact, two models
from the same year and manufacturer may require different coolants. Consult your owner’s manual for details on the coolant type used in
your car, and be sure to use that formulation when servicing the cooling system. Do not mix different types of coolants.

Coolant Change Intervals
Engine coolants never lose their “permanent” antifreeze capability, but their protective additives are depleted over time. This means the
coolant must be changed periodically, but how often depends on the coolant type. Traditional IAT green coolants should be changed every
two years or 24,000 miles, while OAT coolants only need to be replaced on an average of every five years or 50,000 miles. HOAT coolants are the longest lived, with some manufacturers not calling for replacement until 80,000 miles or more. Again, consult your owner’s manual to determine the required service interval for your vehicle.

Checking Coolant
Cooling systems occasionally need topping up due to fluid loss from evaporation. However, having to add coolant frequently may indicate an
external leak in the cooling system or an internal leak in the engine that should to be investigated by a qualified technician.
• Check the engine coolant with the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine cold and not running.
• Most cars today have a translucent plastic coolant reservoir with molded-in HOT and COLD (or similar) markings that makes it easy to visually check the coolant level. With the engine cold, the level should be at or above the COLD (lower) mark on the tank. If not, top it up to that level with a 50/50 mixture of water and the proper coolant.
• A reservoir check is generally sufficient to ensure a proper level of coolant in the system. However, if the reservoir was dry or there have been recent indications of unusual engine temperatures, you should also check the coolant level in the radiator.
NOTE: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot; the system is under pressure, hot coolant will be expelled and severe burns could result!
• Remove the radiator cap and inspect the coolant level. In a modern sealed system the radiator should be completely filled. If it is not, top it up with a 50/50 mixture of water and the proper coolant. If the radiator level is low, but there was coolant in the reservoir, the radiator cap may be defective and should be tested by a qualified repair shop. In a properly maintained cooling system, the coolant will retain most of
its original color over time. Coolant that becomes dirty and discolored, or shows traces of rust, should be replaced. The most accurate indication of coolant condition is acid content, which can be checked using simple test strips available at most auto parts stores. At least once a
year, preferably before the onset of winter, the coolant should be checked to determine its level of antifreeze protection.

.thanks for the compliment. I want to suggest that our universities start teaching our youth Marriage counseling.

I am kinda passive when it comes to making comments here on nairaland but ur post seems to attract me. However, talking from similar experience , I ve observed that most ladies nowadays seems to forget the fact that they ve to be submissive and portray good character /attitude to their husband even though you re partners but not equal. I want to believe that ur husband will not be happy to be doing such things without any flaws emanating from u. My question is what causes most of ur misunderstanding in the first place? If u can address the causes,do Wat pleases him, and feed him regularly in food n sex, then u will definitely have ur husband back.

My polo vivo fails to start when it's cold but starts after kick starting it. The battery reads at 14V+ when car is on and 13V+ when car is off.
After kick starting it the car revs up then dies unless I press the throttle 20% for a minute then car stays on but when I press the throttle it drops the rev's as if its going to switch off. When driving the car after leaving it to warm up I'm at 4000RPM then put the car in neutral the rev's stay at 4000RPM unless I put it into gear then all is okay. When the car is idling it idles below 1000RPM but then drops even lower causing the car then automatically rev up just passed the 1000RPM mark then comes down again then will rev again over 1000RPM then come down because it drops very low. Any suggestions as to what it is? I was thinking the temp sensor because my citi golf started to do the same thing and I unplugged the temp sensor then started the golf and perfect. My Polo injectors were checked as well as the compression and all fuses. Please help?

your English is something else, I can't comprehend. However, go and scan your vehicle.

Rather than opening this thread and waiting for someone to tell you about the stock mpg for your car.
That time and effort of waiting . You'd input your search on Google and get your result in 0.02seconds .
Note that factory mpg differs from real life.
Some factors also affect your mpg like:
Under inflated tyres ,
Load
Type of Gas
Condition of Your vehicle
Catalytic converter
O2sensor e.t.c.

I don't think 21mpg is bad for city in your corolla.

I get like 15-16mpg or less In the venza sometimes

I just want to know the average mpg most people usually get since the car is not brand new.

Hello auto gurus, I am getting 20-21 MPG for city driving with AC sometimes on depending on situation. Pls is the car consuming fuel?

AutoJoshNG:
Hello Geovidal,

Gazzuzz has given you the answer. The noise is caused by substandard parts. I will just go get the original parts from him if I were you. Also wondering why the brake disc was changed? Was it properly inspected? Did you consider skimming them?

Autojoshng

thanks. the problem is my location, I am not based in Lagos, the disc was changed cos I also noticed shaking of the steering when applying break, though it has stopped

GAZZUZZ:
doubt installed parts were original

thanks, Pls how do I get original break pad

GAZZUZZ:
front pads OEM toyota 16,000 rear shoes 19k what did it cost you?

are u saying the cost of front break pad is 16k and the rear 19k?. It cost me 14k to change the front break disc and the pad. I don't know if they re original.

klassykute:
break pad

ok,pls what type of break pad do you recommend

klassykute:
its cos there is water on d break ..it happened to mi i was worried also.. its either water or d break pad or d shock..

water on the break? I just changed the pad and the shocks are quite good.

Hello everyone, I am using a Toyota corolla S 04, I observed that whenever I apply little break, there is a sound that emanate from the wheels, both at d front and back. The sound is so annoying that I feel reluctant to apply breaks when needed. I ve changed the break pad and break disc but no changes. Pls car gurus, I need ur suggestions. This is my first ever post on auto section.
