@Mrford please I've 2000 Camry. The coolant in radiator reduces always but I can't detect any leak but my mechanic asked me to change to double cell. Is that a good advice. I refill the radiator after a short distance.


Your radiator cap is bad, it is leaking as steam through the cap gasket

Radiator is new not toks.

Transmission is standard not CVT, so I used ATF.

Gear isn't dropped. I got the pics on the internet.

I've driven it around, it still slips, jerks sometimes, delays engaging oftentimes, etc.

If water is still in gear changer, how best can I get rid of it?

If it's still slipping then it's either of three things

1. There is still water in there .. if it has a dip stick quage it and check colour.. it should be dark red.. if not Drain transmission oil change filter and put fresh ATF about 5 litres should do.

2. Ensure to use right ATF.. what brand and year is your car.. be sure you are using the right ATF recommend for your car .very crucial wrong ATF can cause issues and lead to current gear slipping

3. It's possible your gear has been compromised or damaged ..get a technician to conduct proper check..

Either way stop driving the car.. with the current slipping the more u drive the more damage it causes

This is the ATF for your vehicle.. if you dint use this recommended DWI ATF for honda..drain oil immediately..and get it.. secondly honda accord 05 gear box is known for its sensor issues.. u might need to consult. A technician. Check all your gear sensors..

Prepare u mind for worst case scenario. A complete gear replacement.. if fault Is neither oil or sensor then gear could be compromised and needs to be replaced.. dnt let anyone tell u they can rebuild it.. it almost never works..

Depends on the gear technician thou..
My gearbox did same as his, went to our mechanic village and was referred to a good technician that handles such cases. He changed my gear fibers, body valve and 2 other components I can't recall their names and changed bottom plate of the gearbox. It's been a year plus and I just did my oil change 2months ago and my car drives soooo cool. Like I said it depends

Sometimes in February my Honda Accord DC overheated, cos Kazeem removed the thermostat and tampered with the engine fan wiring: the rings fried, a connecting rod bent and some bearings damaged.
Most Mechs told me to change engine including our own Gazzuz.
Buh thank goodness, an Engineer from my workplace fixed it.
I bought a premium ring pair and a connecting rod and volla!

My Honda is driving better than before, some mech told me it will go bad after 3 months, it's October already and the car is giving me joy.

I typed all this cos the guy that fixed it told me the same thing you said "All engines can be fixed"

He said he's ringed a countless vehicles that runs good after six years.
Instead of spending 200k on engine, I spent 25k only on everything including workmanship.

I am a Dangote Transport staff and we've got some exceptional technicians.

So basically let us say you change oil every 3months. Meaning you change oil 4times a year....Let us break down your spending for the year......

Mobil xhp 8500k = 34k for the year
Oil change labour 2k = 8k for the year
Oil filter 2k naira. = 8k for the year

So your total spending on oil changes for the is 50k naira.... This is rough estimates, it should be more ..
My point here is that you can save yourself money and time ......

Now the reason why your engine looks clean is that you don't drive that much . I really doubt 20w50 is the recommended oil for your car . now for you to really damage your engine with 20w50 . You have to drive the car long enough ..

All those short trips here and there will not really damage anything regardless how frequent you change ur oil .... I don't want to go into any further details to avoid unnecessary back and fourth .........

I don't understand you dru. I asked you if I could change my oil from 20w50 that I've been using to 5w30 recommended for my Camry 1999 with over 200k miles but you said I should maintain status and now you are advising this guy to switch from 20w50 to mobil 1

Sir u misread the post.. I was asking the young man the break down of his oil usage. I never advice him to switch. He has been using 20w50 for his matrix for a long time. So there is no point switching to factory recommendation .. If he decide to switch it might cause leakage........

And sir I didn't want you to waste money either. Your 1999 camry has been using 20w50 for long time. So just stick to it, and change ur oil about every 4k miles to avoid sludge. I know can it can tedious ...

Once you are able to get a proper maintain or tokunbo car. We give u free engine oil sir ... If u have anymore questions please free to ask
