Good Morning Guys, I was asked to consider changing my oil from Mobil 5w-30 Super 2000 to Mobil XHP. The reason is mainly because its kind of difficult getting the 5w-30 here. It isn't readily available probably due to high demand or just scarcity of some reason. What do you guys think? Is there another recommendation I could consider? I use a Toyota Camry 2005 v6 Car. Thanks for your suggestion. |

PrinceFola:I had this challenge in March, as it turned out, I learnt the oil I bought for servicing was adulterated and I haven't driven more than 2k miles. I had to change my oil. |

Hello Oga Gazzuzz, Good day and Happy Sunday. I recently changed three of the tires in my Toyota Camry 2011, it’s not been up to a week. Everything has been fine until I drove out to the express today and the low pressure light came on in the dashboard. I drove to a nearby vulcanizer who confirmed all the tires are full, I asked him what pressure is in them he said 45(I guess he means 45 psi) in all the tires. We tried to figure what the issue is to no avail, I asked him to reduce the pressure to 40psi which he did on all 4 wheels yet the light didn’t go. I checked online and the recommended pressure is 32PSI for the tire(215/60R16), so I asked him to reduce it further, he said it will be very low, so I left it like that. Could his be a tire issue? is the pressure too much? could this be a pressure sensor issue? Or could it be the replacement tires (tokunbo) were not fixed properly? I would highly appreciate your input please Oga Gazzuzz. Thanks a lot. 1 Like |

GAZZUZZ: Thanks bro, I will take it for a proper scan soon. I hope it is not an issue that needs urgent attention. Radautoworks, I bought this scan tool at your office this year, can I add money and get a better one or will you give me a free scan |

Good evening chief Gazzuzz, I have a Camry 2007 Le. It recently brought up the check engine light and I did a scan with the following result. P0139, P0136 and C1241. Below is the pics attached. Pls what's the possible solutions. Also pls is it okay for me to use the Mobil 5w-30 oil for servicing?

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:19pm On May 17, 2021 |
Musabua: Ignore the C code. Replace the O2 sensor . 5w30 can be used if that is what you have been using . If you have not been using 5w30, kindly pour 20w50. Drain intervals 2-3k miles |
