So for two months now sakpa haven’t let me change my engine oils for my Toyota Sienna, which I usually change every 3weeks ~ one month

Its been two month now and I’m beginning to experience overheat,

Fan is okay,

I have change my rediator cover

I having a feeling it’s oil shortage, it’s somewhere 40 percent in the the dipstick gauge

You oil should not have short to that extent..40% but with that it doesn'tsuppose to overheat..maybe your radiator is dirty..go for intense cleaning with car wash..remain bless

Why change oil every three weeks unless the car is used for interstate, where you cover like 3000 to 5000 miles.?


Go and check the cooling system of the car to fix the overheating cause if it's the sienna that has 2GR engine, you may be playing with fire

Yes I use it for inter state transport.

Thanks for all your inputs, I noticed water dripping from under the hood, I’m suspecting the water pump, I’ll go check it out today

You don't think so for radiator? Bad radiator = overheating.

What I mean is, I recently serviced my radiator(blowing and washing)

Reason why I least suspect it
