Car was parked for 10 months toyota camry 2009 XLE V6 .. the first day I drove it, noticed the AC is blowing hot air ... I immediately went for a refill , after the refill, the Cold air wasn't top notch, also the drivers vent was blowing warm air , but the other vents was blowing cold air ... The AC guy suggested my valve wasn't good , he suggested I should drive it around for a day and give him feedback, a day later all the vents started blowing hot air , I went back to his garage he removed the radiator and Condenser , he checked the Compressor , from his diagnosis he said the compressor is bad .. that it's turning almost at will ( free will) ... He suggested I should change the compressor and condenser also the valve. .. he suggested manual Compressor , that the Automatic compressor will pack up real soon .... When we went to buy the Automatic compressor like I insisted , on getting to the Tokunbo shop , the sellers said they won't give me any warranty for the compressor, it's at owners risk ... Please what's you guys suggestions What happened to my Ac is it a packed up Compressor Should I go about getting the manual Compressor fitted

Pls house help! My car, 2008 Honda Pilot recently brings out blue smoke from exhaust when I accelerate. I recently changed engine oil, that was on October. I used Hardex 5w20.
However, I didn't use the car often because I wasn't around. It was mostly packed.
NB: I used the same Hardex 5W20 earlier & didn't have any such issue.
Aside the blue smoke coming out from the exhaust, no other issue seen.

What could cause the blue smoke coming out?
Do I need to change the oil again?
What should I do?

Thanks

GAZZUZZ:
20w50 will reduce the smoke

easysunny:
Can I use 20w50 against the recommended oil 5w20 written on the seal? Will 20w50 be OK for Honda pilot?

Some one pls help before my village people finally succeed on this car, I drive a 2005 Honda Accord. The problem is I remove the battery whenever travelling to places in which the roads are quite bad. When I return and start fixing the battery, the car attempts to and sometimes start on its own with the key in my pocket! What could warrant this

poor diagnosis.

Very poor

Seek second opinion from another ac tech. Those sellers don't give guarantee on automatic compressor due to some reasons best known to them.

Conner44:
Your car might have been installed with a remote engine starter by its previous oyibo owners. You can either remove it totally or reconnect it properly if you wish to utilize it again

k2kay:
Any idea how it can be removed or connected properly? Thanks.

Conner44:
You said you used the same hardex oil before without issues right? Changed it out at October and then parked it for a while before finding out that it’s puffing out blue smoke?

I’d hazard a guess that one or more of your piston rings is stuck or your pcv valve is bad. To rule out the rings sticking you will have to perform a leak down test on all the cylinders just before you perform your next oil change

Do not change to a higher weight of engine oil until you’ve pinpointed a bad cylinder wall as the actual cause of your oil burn.

Pls house, I need advice.
1. Does changing brand of engine oil affects the engine?
I want to change my car engine oil. The car is Honda Pilot. I used Mobil 1 5W-20 Advance Full Synthetic motor oil, but intend to change to another brand with the same 5W-20 but relatively cheaper.
2. Or must I stick to Mobil 1that's currently in the engine?
3. Which genuine brand do you recommend? Cheaper than mobil 1.
4. The price and where to buy in Lagos?

Thanks

July 2020

[quote author=easysunny post=91386516]1. No top up in-between. Only changed the oil 6 months ago.

2. No leakage of engine oil from the engine.

3. Interval of 6 months. Only changed it once since I bought the car ie about 6 months ago.

4. About 3000 + miles.

5. The present mileage is 160,315.

I don't use the car often. This will be my 2nd change of oil since I bought tokunbo.
I just notice that blue like smoke comes out from the exhaust when I raise the accelerator. It doesn't happen before like that.
Then I checked the oil percentage and it's 30%.
That's the reason i intend to change the oil since it's over 6 months now i changed the oil.

What's your advice based on these information?

Thanks

easysunny:
Okay. Thanks for the advice.
Now, what do you suggest for me. Can I change to another brand other than mobil 1 but same 5W-20? Or must stick to the mobil 1?
I'm looking at the cost.
Any one to recommend to me?

Thanks

Greetings Gazzuz & other Ogas in the house.

Pls I need help. My 2008 Honda Pilot develop some problems.
The radiator fans stopped working unless I turn AC on. If the AC is on the fans will be working okay, but once AC is off, the fans will not spin.
This problem started when car AC worked on it. The AC man damaged the radiator when trying to remove compressor coil which he said spoiled. In order to remove the coil, he brought out the radiator & other parts. The opening that connect the gear oil hose was damaged. Without telling me he block the gear oil from entering the radiator. This resulted to car jerking & transmission overheating. It was discovered and the radiator was repaired and reconnected back properly.
Now, 2 days ago, I noticed that the fans are not working unless AC is On. If I on the engine without AC, the engine + radiator will be hot & bring out smoke as fan is not working. However, the temperature reading is still normal at middle.
I approached a Rewire at my area, after checking told me that the Thermostat has spoiled. That I've to REMOVE THE THERMOSTAT & RUN THE FAN DIRECTLY. But I refused because I've read that it's not advisable to remove Thermostat.
Now, for me to use the car, the AC must be On so that the fans can work.

Pls, what could be the problem & how to fix it?

Thanks

easysunny:
Yes. I've used mobile 1 5w20. Then used Stallion 1 5w20. But I'm thinking of changing to Hardex 5w20. I heard it's Okay. Mobile 1 price is high & most often scarce. Hardex is relatively cheaper to mobile 1

Low Freon or weak compressor

Conner44:
Ahhh easysunny na wah oh. As at a year and a half ago you once posted of seeing same blue smoke exiting your exhaust system. Why didn’t you mention this information before?

If truly you’ve only been using the 5w20 weight of whatever oils you buy on your engine since purchase then I’d advise you to switch to a well known synthetic 5w30 brand and then add a can of liquimoly MoS2 anti-friction engine oil treatment in your next oil change and observe your exhaust and oil levels too.

I suggest you rule out any cylinder wall damages or subtle oil leaks by running your engine with the liquimoly additive first before thinking of using heavier weight oils or attempting an engine rebuild or swap


Gazzuzz thanks for the exposè
