Good evening Nairalanders. Please I need candid advice and quick one I think that my dealer is trying to reap me . He said I’m to pay for the car wash please how much does it cost to wash a Toyota engine and body like a complete wash . He is telling me that it is 8k please Nairalanders I need your advice . I paid 3.5 million naira for the car after which he told me I’m going to give him 100k for the car that his hotel bills and the amount he used to bring the car is 40k and plus the paint job they will do on the car everything is inside the 100k and now he is now telling me the 8k for the car and engine wash is not included in the 100k I have paid him 90k already but I feel he is trying to cheat me because it is my first time and I don’t really have experience. Nairalanders please help with your advice and suggestions.

It is really funny how this place works you ask for opinions or advice you can't get any and you say it is a Toyota user and lovers club . So many views but none could provide advice or suggestions for one without experience.
Re: Thread For Toyota Users And Lovers by realphatphem: 11:15pm On Sep 08, 2021
Bros, dont allow your dealer chop you finish.. maximum charge for car wash (both interior and exterior including engine bay) shouldn't exceed 3k.

You bought tokunbo or naija used? Meanwhile, the recommended engine oil is supposed to be in the car manual. Some of these car uses 5w-20 either mobile 1 full synthetic or other full synthetic oil

The normal rpm for a car should be around 700-900rpm at idle. I don't think your car have any issue

1. Toyota Camry v4 I believe from 2007 to 2010 came with a manufacture defect.. They short oil and many of them had a recall.. Hopefully yours is not a v4 ....but the v6 had no recall of engine oil shorten....

2. Pic below .......The recommended oil is 5w30 , check the oil cap of the engine .. This is very easy this are basic things that car owners should be able to do without asking questions.. This is how mechanics take advantage of car owners .. Because they fail to know the basics of car maintenance


3. Cost of imported engine oil has gone up and also scarce now .. Check my signature for more details

You should be fine.. Early morning start up usually brings out smoke and a bit of water from tail pipe.. Once the car warms up . it clears up

Recommended oil should be 5w30... Any good well know brand is ok

That's normal, the engine is steaming.

There's a button by your left below the steering wheel, you'll see a traction button, hold for a bit while car is on... Should go off.

Regarding the check engine light, have your car scanned. Don't let road side mechanics touch anything without you doing a scan first.
