Your 2008 Toyota Camry recommends 5w20 or 0w20 and not 5w30. But you are advised to use the 5w30 if the recommended oil is not available and revert immediately to the recommended oil. One thing that I am always curious about is that Toyota started recommending 5w20 ditto Honda 3 years before Range Rover began recommending 5w20 and many more years before they asked us to be using 0w20. When people are using Mobil 1 extended performance 5w20 on a Toyota, it's like using premium unleaded fuel on a 2007 Camry. The 5w20 recommended for Toyota cars in 2007 is not the same 5w20 recommended for a 5.0 V8 engine of a Range Rover. Waste of money. Someone asked why should royal purple API SL be rated higher than Mobil 1 API SN? For Toyota cars that requires API SL and SJ, the royal purple is very suitable for it than Mobil 1 API SN because though it is backward compatible with the lower specifications, it's better to use the one suitable for the car.

I have some 0W20 Mobil 1 available for sale. I can send it across to you in any part of Lagos

It's going to be like 7 out of 10 in the South East

I think I agree with you

Did you change any component in the path of the fan belt? Like compressor etc.

Do you hear any unusual sound/noise?

You should conduct a visual inspection too or get someone qualified to check for you

I may not be able to help due to distance. However, a diagnostics scan should be the first step in order to fix the issues with your vehicle.

afesco:
Where is ur location?

Ajah, Lagos

Run a diagnostics scan first. This will guide you.

I can provide that service for you if you don't mind

Check your brake fluid level. It may be below the threshold since you changed the brake pad. The mechanic may have bled the system and forgot to top up the brake fluid.

One or more of the tyre sensors on the wheels are malfunctioning. You can run a scan to know the exact one that is faulty, then you can replace and the warning light will go off.

Good dey car gurus, please I drive a Honda baby boy, anytime I uses AC in my car enemy if it's just for 30 minutes I mus Ty visit a battery charger the next day. But if I don't use AC my battery last for long. Even if I don't drive the car for days a along as I didn't use AC whenever I crank the engine it will snap to life.
Please what exactly is going on, is it that my AC was connected directly to battery, or is my alternator gone.

Please help

You most likely have an under-charging issue. The alternator is the culprit. I had a similar issue in late 2017

Please get a tyre gauge for personal use. As most vulcanizers will pump above the recommended tyre pressure.

Toyosienna:



But I read somewhere dexron vi

I'll refer you to the vehicle manual. Please check and confirm.

AutoMoTech:
your vehicle is a smart one. there is a module in charge of controlling the AC system. kindly carry out a system scan to see if there is any stored codes.
also a simple visual inspection will really help. check the wiring of the fan and other related systems.
also kindly note not all vehicles act the same way. for some vehicles, the AC fan will never be turned on by the AC module if the whether is cold enough. in some it will. i have a feeling your AC might be working as it should. however get it checked (not scatter scatter o) by a competent technician...

I concur with you AutoMoTech on this.

Your cooling system works as designed.

Please ONLY run a scan and conduct visual inspection if you feel uncomfortable with your cooling system.

Plz house, recommend transmission oil for Mazda mpv 2003

If it is an automatic transmission use a dextron II. Walk into any Total filling Station to get total transmission fluid. It cost about #600 per liter

Hello House,
I need a good panel beater that can help me fix my Silencer/Exhaust once and for all... It makes some embarrassing noise

Where are you located?

martyns200:


You are very much correct. After the first day which I noticed that which made me put up this write up, the radiator later began working perfectly as it should. Thanks for ur advice, I appreciate

You're welcome

martyns200:
Good morning, I jus changed my radiator from single to a new double cell due to leakage from the single cell radiator.
Thermostat is still intact and single fan inclusive(not connected directly) After driving the car on Saturday, Sunday morning I checked the water level in the radiator and saw the water is low, so I opened the coolant plastic and saw that the water there has overfilled more than the FULL level its meant to attain, which means that the excess of the water in the coolant plastic is meant to go back into the radiator when engine is cool and it didn't. Does that mean the car would likely overheat. Would love to hear your advise pls....When I called the mech, he said I would need to remove thermostat and connect far directly which am against.The car is a year old and it's a corolla 05 model..would love your inputs so as to take necessary precaution against the unforseen.

Please do not allow any mechanic remove your thermostat and wire fan directly.

I'll suggest you drive the car and observe the temperature gauge and coolant level in the reservoir. Then let's have the results.

From experience, it will take your car longer time to reach optimal working temperature because of the increased size of your radiator

Quick questions:

1. Did you scan the car when the vehicle stopped working and couldn't start?

2. Have you replaced the pressure control solenoid?

Bonshak:
Pls.help.ibwant to buy a Nigerian used Camry muscles 2010 but I noticed the abs sign on the dashboard is steadily on without blinking.What could that be?

Have you run a diagnostic scan? I can help you do that if you are in Lagos.

In most cases, at least one of the ABS sensors could be the culprit.

Interesting discussion. I'm here to learn

aaking:
The two fans don't suppose to work directly.

You can remove the thermostat .
Where do you stay.
If you stay in Lagos precisely (ojota,ketu) or nearby I can recommend my rewire for you.
I remove the thermostat of my 1st car but the 2nd one I have not remove it since 2yrs now because is working fine

You should not remove the thermostat!!!
Investigate and troubleshoot the cooling system.

Which type engine oil should I use for 2005 Toyota Corolla. I'm a new bee.

Please check the oil cover on the engine of the car or check the car manual if available.

Always stick with the manufacturer recommended fluid specification

Bhugarious:
Hello car gurus, I own a 09 Corolla which I parked yester night in the garage without any inkling of an issue.
This morning I cranked the engine and engaged the gear but the car would not move. What causes this? Please I need your help.

Is the gear stick loose while selecting? If it is, check your shift cable
