See if u can see any presence of water / coolant around the cooling system ( radiators and hose ) and if it not visible you will need to visit a technician with special tool to check for u .

Also check your radiator cap/cover, if not good, change it.

Good morning to all Gurus and contributors. My car is 2007 Camry le, Mobil Super 2000 -5w30 has been (2013 till date) my oil till recently when it became scarce.

Hello house,

Please I need your input on what could be responsible for this issue with my Toyota Corolla.

When I leave my car parked for at least two days, when I start it, the engine makes a high pitched noise which stops, when the car is warm as indicated by the temperature gauge.

I have taken the car to different mechanics, changed bearing, crank shaft...to no avail.

My car has been giving me issues recently. One of my engine MOUNTS got bad and I got a new one. In the process of changing it, the mechanic busted the rubber from the top and some fluid that was trapped in it by design splashed out.

I wish to find out the implication of the fluid pouring out. See image attached.

Replace it again.

Good evening everyone...I have Camry pencil light and I use Total Quartz 5000.I went for service yesterday and I couldn't find the Engine oil I normally use.My mechanic adviced that I should use Total Classic since I can't find Quartz 5000 so I changed it.

I want to know if my engine is at risk.How long should I change it and when changing it,should I revert back to Quartz 5000 or there's an engine oil u suggest I should use?
