nairaandkobo:
Today, my oil light came up; I checked the dip stick oil was gagged started the engine and continued, later the light flashed and hasn't come up again. Any idea, with whats wrong?

Car is Toyota corolla 2003.

Always serviced with full synthetic oil after 3,000 miles because of long journeys.

If you have a scanner once the light comes on and stays on scan for error codes related to oil issues.

If not, it could be your oil sensor playing tricks on you, could be faulty or bridged wire.

Also ensure the full synthetic oil you are using is of good quality, if light still behaves like that and the oil sensor is okay, then you have to open the sump and check for sludge. If sludge is found then that is where the issue is.

8 years down the line,I ran away without solving the issue I now have another one with a similar issue,the security is tied to the remote ,how do I program it, it's the euro spec 433mhz , manual method will not work like the American spec

8years after you will still need to run, you may have lost the battle on this one but you still have a war yo win with others.

My Aunt Alero am sure must have rot away it's almost 15years now she bought a very beautiful LEMON

ipobcannibals:
Best advice so far, that is if theOP will listen. I don’t why some people will change their ATF as if they’re changing engine oil? Transmission fluid can last for 150,000km and need no changing for the next 15yrs.

You people should stop misleading people and rather read up on manuals.

For brandnew vehicle manufacturer would peg transmission oil change at 100k km after exceeding 100k km next change may be half then next would be every 30k km.

Nigeria environmental is the reason we adviced people to change regularly 2 to 3 years or less for cars that are sensitive and known to be defective.

Buy a tokunbo car and check the colour of the transmission after 3 years it's likely black already and when you decide to change nah wahala be that. I personally change my ATF every 2years because I don't want what happened in 2015 to occur again.

phantom:
Hey guys, good day. Please, i need advise on best ATF for my pilot.
The DW1 readily available in PH is the adulterated Chinese version. The original product is also available but very expensive.
I need a cheaper solution even if its another brand as long as its okay for my tranny.

Someone suggested the mobil atf dexron 2. I don't want to take chances and I have decided to seek for advise. I need a good, original alternative product. I can go as much as 3,500/4000 per litre. I am replacing all the 8litres of the gearbox.

Thank you and God bless.

Honda DW1 ATF 7000x8L = 56,000

Honda pilot replacement gear (used) 250k

Don't be penny wise pound foolish.

Good evening,my oga in the house.pls how reliable is Mitsubishi Galant 2009 model.

Not too popular, buy something else if you can though.

Transcosojr:
Hello Folks!
Between 06/07 Mercedes c230/280 and 07 Accord V6 which is better in terms of
1. Reliability
2. Spare parts
3. Maintenance
4. Cost of running.
Thanks

Tricky one, I would pick the 07 C280 because of the minimal luxury, refinement.

For speed, the V6 accord is bae as long as you take care of the ball joints and change the timing belt as at when due.

udemzyudex:
You're very stupid for using that word illiteracy on me,I asked a simple question, where's your evidence and you're saying nonsense,are you daft and can't see that I want to learn?

Oga get out.

Oga no vex ooo, in physics we learnt all this jargon wey we dey talk, read up on scalar and vector quantities.

Qtsnow:
Boss i think it the EX edition, as it comes with Alloy wheels, Subwoofer 6 + 1 speaker (the 1 being the subwoofer) and CD player that can read mp3 CDs and Fenders are painted car color

You cannot convert an element SC to ordinary element because the front end is different, the headlamps can't fit and the bumper are different. SC (street custom) is fitted with 18inch alloy wheel and same colour all through bumper and body, only available in front wheel drive.

ZIMDRILL:
your last statement is misleading

how many secs does ir take a buggati to reach 200kmh ? thats were the micra loses

remember he asked which is quicker manual or automatic

funny indeed if my statement isn't true then acceleration and speed are samething according to you.

Qtsnow:
Thought SC is usually written along side th Element for the SC model

Could have fallen off. First give away of SC is the special headlamps

Not just an Element but honda Element SC

DesireV:
Pls, can you recommend Acura MDX 2008/09?

Yes if you can afford to fuel it

enigmatique:
Hello. I'm a first-time car owner, and I have a budget of 1-1.5M for a car. Not looking for anything flashy. Just looking for something durable, fuel efficient, not expensive to maintain, and advisable for first-timers. What cars do y'all suggest? I have seen you say Toyota and Honda are advisable, but what models?

Also, what do you ladies and gentlemen think about the 2007 Volkswagen Jetta?

Cc nurey et al

Honda civic 2002 to 2005 or 2006 to 2009 naija used any model year that catches your fancy.

Nissan sentra 2002 yo 2005 also good

Probably you can get toyota yaris or Echo less than 2005 for that price. They are good though a bit cramped

Musty4ahmed1:
. My car is Auto tranny, I made a research what the guy was referring to is the differential oil. What is the recommended fluid for the differential gear? Thank you

I researched and found out the 97 to 2001 auto FWD camry indeed has a differential oil that is around 1.6L, the recommended oil is still dextron III same as transmission oil.

Musty4ahmed1:
Please I went to do my Alinghment after my mechanic did some work on my Toyota camry 2001, I was told that my manual gear oil is short. I never knew that a Transmission car like my car uses manual gear oil. The guy told me to buy the oil else my gear may pack up in no distant time. Please I want to know if it is true that their is manual transmission oil for Toyota camry 2001 and what is the recommended manual oil. I need your advice before I get back to the
Alignment guy tomorrow. Thank you.

Yes manual transmission uses transmission oil nah only that the oil can last years without changing.

As for recommended give the mechanic to buy the oil or enter any spare part seller and ask for gear oil for transmission anyone available would do but recommended is 75W80

natedroid:
There’s a weird cranking noise that sometimes emanate from the engine of my few months old RX 350 (2009) Lexus. Bought the car directs Tok and engine is still very sound . I usually notice this weird engine noise whenever the vehicle is parked for a few hour’s especially on hot afternoons


My mechanic said it happens due to oil circulation when you start a car and its normal.

Another mechanic told me it could be that the filter under bottom plate is dusty or it could be that the chains in the engine need to be adjusted. That I should bring it for him to access it .

A friend who uses ES 350 is also experiencing similar issues and his mechanic said it’s the oil circulation when a car parked for a few hours starts

I’m still not satisfied with the mechanics response

I use the normal Mobil sold 9500 at Mobil stations and I’m thinking of switching to Mobil 1 hoping that would correct the noise. A colleague using RX350 uses Mobil 1 and has never encountered issues like this with his car



Please I need the views of experts/engineers in the house

Anybody here experienced a similar issues before ?

Read the post and start from the op fix first before opening engine

saysugar:
If manual v6 vs auto v6 happen to be on highway which one is more faster and speedy,same engine different transmission??

If it was before that's 90s to early 2000, it would be manual transmission from stop to quater mile back then most manual always lift off than auto, manual also always have a better 0 to 62mph than auto.

But currently it would be a Tie also depending on driver, the automatic transmission may have a edge here because the computers became more effective and responsive, so if the manual driver isn't timely, he would drop back.

Above all a Bugatti at 200km/h has same speed as a micra doing 200km/h, if both were side by side, they would finish at same time.

Jaapu:
What is your take on Opel Zafira for same purpose. thank you.

Very good vehicle especially when used in the north

DesireV:
How about RX330 pls?

RX330 3.3L V6 3mzfe steel engine, comes with timing belt 240hp

RX350 07-09 3.5L V6 2grfe engine, comes with timing chain 270hp aluminum engine.

2gr is more expensive than 3mz, 3mz can absord issues from overheating, 2gr will get damaged if overheating occurs.

DesireV:
Thanks boss

If I can increase the budget, Is 07-09 RX 350 a good car pls?

Yes a cert solid luxurious reliable vehicle

Rinoxy:
Good morning sir, this would be my second car, the first was an auto tranny Honda. I reside in Kaduna sir.

Okay, good to go then

Weirdcamila:
This is the product right ?

Yes if bought from reputable retail outlets.

Rinoxy:
Thanks for your useful response sir. From all I've gathered so far I see that the manual transmission is better. But I don't understand your second paragraph; what is with getting into a serious traffic jam sir?
Is it something I should bother about?

Seems you are new to driving. During heavy traffic (move and stop) driving manual comes with leg cramps nah lagos drivers using manual transmission fit explain am well.

Weirdcamila:
What should I do now ? already put in oando ?

Stop driving vehicle for now ro avoid further damage, buy toyota WS drain the former and put in the Toyota WS transmission fluid.

If the transmission hasn't started slipping or high revs before change then you are okay

Weirdcamila:
They said it’s the best
What do you suggest ? And can you please attach the pictures of the Toyota Ws?

That transmission is sensitive toyota WS is best call @ gazzuzz to buy original

Worldwyde:
Toyota gear oil and oando are the same dextron IV. Those that don't own okada or even afford spare tyre will be making you waste money. Toyota is just branding.so do u want to tell me if there is no mobil 5w 30,u won't source for another reliable brand aside mobil. Don't waste money

Load of crap

Oando is dextron II and III

there is no dextron IV and V, from 3 we now have dextron VI stop misleading people

DesireV:

Camry 2007 to 2011

Accord 2013 below

Rx350 07 to 09 I above your budget

Time to start manufacturing power steering for toyota and sell see better business

Weirdcamila:
