Hello everyone, I am using a 2006 Toyota corolla, I observed that whenever I apply little brake,there is a sound that emanate from the wheel at d front of the driver side. The sound is so annoying that I feel reluctant to apply brakes when needed. I've changed the brake pad and brake disc but no changes. Pls car gurus, I need ur suggestions.

CC. Oga Gazzuzz and other car gurus..

Your responses would be highly appreciated sir

There is a metal like a pan at the brake disc. Tell ur kazeem to check and align it well. Likely it rubs on the disc.
My little contribution o. Wait for Gazzuzz to advice further.

Good evening House.
Can someone please recommend a "Good quality" oil filter for my Honda Odyssey 2001?

The ones I saw yesterday(Honda brand) in the market are sold for just 1k and I know it's not original so I didn't buy.

I need to service my car ASAP!

If you're in Lagos, you can find Radautowork's location on Google Maps and purchase the parts from there. Alternatively, you can visit www.myparts.com, both of them sell genuine car parts.

Not bad, but Ceratec is a ceramic-based engine oil additive that claims to improve engine performance and prolong engine life. Users have reported mixed results, with some experiencing improved performance and reduced engine noise, while others have not. Experts have raised concerns about potential damage to engine parts from ceramic particles and clogged oil filters.

That's some quite impressive angle. I never thought about the ceramic deposit causing issues in the long run

There are many big shops you can find them. Ask the sellers to tell you.
