Ok Boss.

I gave someone your number 2 weeks ago to help him get Highlander or RX in Onitsha.

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.

Please help!!!
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.

Probably one of the 4 tpms is faulty,a scanner capable of communicating with tpms would reveal the defective pressure sensor.

You will need a scan tool to measure air pressure battery levels and transmitter signal.

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 grin wink

Spiral clock spring bad. Don't attempt giving this job to a quack or else, your SRS airbag could deploy or some other electrical malfunction could occur.

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
