My car engine start getting very hot hot immediately you start it, even without you moving the car out. Please what can be the problem...

Note the fans are working perfectly(electricians has confirmed it)

I serviced the car 1week ago,after I packed it for almost a year because I traveled.

Note the car is Toyota camry 2001.

Done that still same, the mechanic says I should change the front disk, that its worn, want to be sure before I change. Don't like guess work

Mrford:



Check if the thermostat is stucked close, and also for any restriction in the coolant channel.

Promxy94:


The thermostat has been removed for long, by our naija mechs.

Mrford:

That means they also connected the fans direct?

When you start the engine in the morning how long does it take to over heat without driving it?

1. While the engine is running, and the cooling fans on, touch the upper and lower radiator hose. The upper radiator hose should be hotter than the lower one. If there is no much noticeable difference in temperature, your cooling fans is not working efficiently or your radiator has been clogged up with dirt or a restriction inside.


Thanks, I just flushed my radiator today, let me. Observe it again

Hello, Is It possible to change brands of synthetic oil? When my car came as toks have serviced twice using a full synthetic engine oil brand but I intend to stop using that and use another synthetic brand on next service, is it advisable and any side effects aftermath?

Hello everyone, this is a wonderful thread. Please my Pontiac Vibe 2003 just stopped three weeks ago and my mechanic said it was a faulty oil pump. But he has changed 4 oil pumps but says its still faulty and he is advising me to buy a new engine, please is there another option for me?

I have even seen a video where someone mixed different brands of synthetic oils and nothing out of the ordinary happened.

You should be fine sir

thebigkendo:


Video? I have been doing it.. Synthetic, Semi-Synthetic, mineral & back to synthetic like that.. I just ensure it's the recommended oil weight

martyns200:



Pls when u talk of oil weight, what specifically do u refer to, u mean the 5w?

frebor:


Experience varies for different people, oil burning and fuel mileage should be monitored too.

thebigkendo:



Well I gave my own experience not other people's.. As for your friends experience.. What he or she has is engine problem..the mobil super was not the problem.. Toyota did not even recommend synthetic oil for a 2001 car

KINGreignn:

It did. It recommended 5W30 synthetic oil.

thebigkendo:


5w-20, 5w-30 etc

martyns200:
