Its strange, the oil never shorts. Remains at level.

codemaster2much:
Did you buy the car as toks or Nigria used and how long have use been using that oil on it? When does the blue smoke come out - morning or night?

Leonyluiz:
Naija Used. Been using the oil since January. However, the smoke only comes out when I raise the car while warming. Although the smoke only come out at that first raise. It doesn’t come out while continuously raising or while driving.

I plan to take it for a scan this weekend.

And are you sure your engine isn't overfilled? Oil can find it's way through your seals down if engine is overfilled and then it burns out as blue smoke when it is first started up.
Check your gauge properly and then reduce the oil if it is too much.

Your piston rings are stuck...I can send you the solution to it once and for all,but don't let any mechanic chop u. The solution is B12 chemtool....aka piston soaking,removing all spark plugs and pouring the solution inside the piston heads,aka spark plugs hole. The solution would take about 24 hrs. Pour in the liquid inside all the plug holes and allow them soak for 6hrs,then turn the crankcase bolt where u have the pulley and all connected.turn 5times every 6hrs. By rhe end of 24hrs,hard start the engine maybe 4 times b4 it picks,the engine would blow out all the smoke....then drain oil, do new oil change, filter,and watch the car outlive its purpose. But if u got he piston rings way ,just know that your car will start overheating ........blue smoke will come back after 2months.

I would appreciate if other professionals here verify this recommendation so I don't give myself false hope.

Camry 010 Transmission.. slips at lower rpm . Expecially during hard acceleration. What could be the cause?

sundayerhun:
I have a Toyota Camry 2008. The gear delays before it shifts. When I am trying to accelerate beyond 40 KM/hr, the gear delays and the car makes a loud noise.

The gear was a 13 pin converted to a 10 pin, and my mechanic says that's the problem.

Please, I need suggestions on what could be wrong.

Good day, Chiefs

My car AC takes time to pick if at all it does. Some time, I start feeling the coolness only when I drive fast. Note: the filter is new and gas is filled. It cools well when it turns on

Please, what could be the cause and possible solution. Thank you

kingreign:
He's right.

sundayerhun:
Thank you. He's asking we get another brain box for the 10 pin. Is this advisable?

chideodiba:
Good morning great minds, my 2004 Corolla is burning out oil very fast or shorting oil, I top the engine oil with 1litre almost every two weeks, the engine sounds great and it does not smoke,though all this started after I started using it for this hustle, my mechanic said the top has to be grinded, please what could the problem and possible solution be? I will appreciate honest opinions and suggestions from experience drivers here. thanks

kingreign:
It's either leaking oil from the seals, or its smoking but you can't see it or its PCV valve is bad.

Hello chief
I got this camry hybrid 2007 Nigeria used with almost all d light shows which my engineer confirmed it's due to one or 2 cells of d hybrid battery being bad.
The check hybrid system and VSC system error keep popping up. The brake,ABS light were on and d braking system was not good enough.

After replacing d faulty single hybrid cell, the car started switching to hybrid normally and Car run smoothly.
All the ABS light went off and d braking system became so superb again but the lights comes up at intervals and when it does, d brake won't be sharp as it should.

The previous owner claimed to have been driving it like that since it's not giving him issues but I can't drive a car with intermittent failed braking system. My engineer said it will get better with time that i should just be driving it like that. My mind is always there whenever I'm driving because there's this loud and annoying alarm sound that comes up whenever d lights are On and d brake won't catch much but it will disappear on it's own after driving for sometimes only for it to come up again and d alarm will start making noise again

Pls what is d way forward?

My Kia Sorento 2004 model is not starting. It has been diagnosed but no fault detected. The ignition coil does not spark light on normal connect. But when direct current is passed to it, t will spark. The service guy is suggesting brain box. Does any one has idea about this? It's manual and 4plugs
