which of these is best in terms of maintenance?

The Camry or the corolla. But you’ll need to keep up with maintenance. That said, 7m naira won’t land you a good Nigerian used of both models sir

Budget… 7M-10M.

Drop what you have with your contact, I will reach out if cool with it..

I’ve got the 2010 ZDX, preowned unit @ 10.2m

Still available let’s deal today asap ….

Clean ride, let’s deal today she’s still available

Now the rear diff is fairly simple, it’s takes approximately half a liter.
- important thing to note is to always loosen oil fill bolt before drain bolt or else you’re in for a long thing 😹
- jack rear axle up, loosed drain and fill plug with the number 10 hex key ( always tap it so as not to round off the plug)
- after a drain, I tightened the drain plug and filled the diff through the fill plug. I made sure I filled till I could see a steady drip from the diff basically showing that it’s full.

- After allowing a complete drain for 15mins, I tightened drain plug and installed new seals on my oil filter canister housing.
- oil filter housing was installed back to the vehicle
- Vehicle was Jacked down in order to appropriately gauge engine oil level
- Vehicle was allowed to run for few mins after which the engine oil was gauged again. ( the truck takes about 5 and half liters of oil )
- lastly I did my oil maintenance reset, service interval at 3500km ( owner prefers to change at shorter intervals)

First thing first was an oil change, started by taking off oil filler cap and dipstick
- next loosening of drain bolt to allow engine oil drain
- next was removal of oil filter housing with the appropriate tool set required.

Without wasting of time l I’ll give a brief.
- Vehicle in question is a 2019 Toyota Highlander AWD
Engine oil used - Liquimoly Full synthetic 0w20
Oil filter - Fram oil filter
Diff oil used - Liquimoly Hydraulic oil (75w90)
Tools required - 14mm wrench, oil filter removal tool set, size 10 hex key, a oil catchcan and a little rag

Hello my Cartalk Family, it’s been a while we’ve had people upload their diy escapades here and I thought to revive that through my brief maintenance service on this Toyota Highlander

Or i will just go for Kia rio LX 2012 Hatchback.....

That’s another option, I think that comes with the 1.6l gamma engine, which I feel is still better compared to your former choice. I’ll advise to just keep up with maintenance. Goodluck

Sorry I forgot , it's Honda crV 2007

Hope this helps , thanks

I doubt that, but judging the car I don’t think it’ll be too expensive to procure since you are considering an android screen. I tell you what, I’ll be heading to Ladipo spare part market tomorrow and try and get a price mark for you

Thanks for your input, when you talk about potential rod bearing failure, is because of the material used or type of lub oil being used?

Which of the model year was this rectified? or was this recall applicable to only the 2.0L engines?

Which other car can you recommend, i don't need a sedan, just a subcompact SUV like kia soul... My budget is 13 million for Foreign used

Judging from your budget and preference why not go for
• 2011-2013 Toyota Matrix
• 2014-15 Toyota Yaris
• 2016 Ford Fiesta ( might not be so easy to come by)
• Scion tc 2011 ( also not so easy to come by )

I would liken the failure to a flaw in oil passage design. because, from the codes that might show up, it’s suggest rod bearing wear which would most likely be caused by oil starvation.
Hyundai has issued a recall on that particular engine but how does one know if former users answered that call and what hyundai would do at the end is put in a new engine so how does one determine the engines integrity.

Thank you so much for your input.
We will address that today.

Hello sir, so what happened to the engine

fashrola:
Any thoughts on Hyundai Elantra GT (2016) .... I wanna replace madam's car as soon as possible....

I've been hearing lot of bad reviews about GDi engines (I've never driven one before) so I would like to get advice from professional auto mechanics here... Na only diesel engines I sabi lol

So my options is between Kia Soul 2015 and Hyundai Elantra GT 2016

I'm buying foreign used

Honestly, I’ll advise against getting both of them especially the Kia soul. The rumors you heard are true also. The Elantra gt has a potential rod bearing failure from my experience they’ll most likely need a new engine and they are quite expensive ( I’ve purchased a few) same thing goes for the soul
If you still feel like getting any take the Elantra gt preferably one with low miles. I also carry out vehicle inspection and procurement also.

Please I have a question my dashboard speed cluster is showing gibberish and Flickers most of the time , and I think it's expensive to replace ,


so I want to know if there is any Android Radio ,that will display fuel gauge and temperature for me , I want to changed the radio to android

So that I can monitor my fuel gauge and temperature from the android screen of the radio

Your description is quite vague, no car brand, model and model year. I doubt though, most will only just show you the speedometer as well as rpm reading

Engine would need to be opened up to ascertain damage, but from your description it’s sounds like it threw a rod
