Good morning house. I just bought a tokunbo engine for my Honda 2007. The engine came with engine oil inside that look clean and new. After mounting the engine mechanic advised me to drive d car for at least one week before changing the oil while someone else advised me to drain the oil and put new one immediately. Which should I follow plz.

Cc Gazzuzz

Fuel economy

Balance due to change of center of gravity

Wind resistance change which can cause wobbling on speed and drag coefficient something something (ask physics students) grin

Kai Bros why you go that far na.....Kai! I hope you returned back to the previous brain box though. I had cylinder 2 misfire on my HL when it came in toks, swapped coils, plugs and injector to confirm that all those are fine. The valve was the culprit, so engine had to be opened to change the valve for cylinder 2. I am not a guru but am close to believe that is the issue you have as well.

Good evening my Ogas in the house. Please sir's i urgently need a clarification on something as i am confused. Please, can CHECK MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (Sorry if i dont get the real name) showing on my toyota corolla 06 model dashboard make it to consume my fuel too much?

The light shows that you need to scan your car. The result will determine if the cause of fuel consumption is from there.

So you mean a 2005 is okay? And would I get a match in terms of performance coming from the 2010 Camry?

Engine oil maintenance; after every 5000 km or 3000 miles.
Transmission oil maintenance; after 150,000 km or 80,000 miles.
5000km bawo are you using Mobil xhp? Or total quartz 5000?

P0420 is a catalytic converter code

i took it to diagnostic center, when it has a misfiring issue and comprehensive scan was carried out using (ednutalo automotive services ibadan, oyo state)

everything was fine but they noted that pump pressure was low, i was advised to change it but i did not that time.

02 sensors and the catalyst was tested that time and it was ok, this P0420 was there too that time
