It’s a very sad day for me. Paying for the consequence of someone’s negligence. Please do you have an idea of how much the engine would likely cost and where to get a good one?

Good evening Engineers.
My wife went for a routine service of our 2010 Highlander with i4 engine yesterday. The mechanic assigned one of his apprentices to handle it. So, today, she wasn’t observing anything wrong in the suv until it failed accelerate well while on speed. She said it was difficult to stop along the route, for her own safety so she kept moving, until it eventually stopped. Then she noticed that there were traces oil spillage trailing along her path. When a helping hand arrived, they noticed that the oil filter was no longer in place. They put another oil and the oil filter, there was no oil remaining in the engine as at the time it stopped. It didn’t start despite replacing the oil. The mechanic that inspected it said that the engine is damaged.
Please how best can I fix the vehicle? It’s in ogun state. Thank you.

Please recommend a good oil for Toyota Matrix 2010. My mechanic has been using Total 20w50 oil for the 3 oil change so far. Is it advisable to switch now to 5w20?

Check the cover of the engine for the recommended oil

Oil Level or Oil Pressure

Good evening peeps. Few days ago I noticed this light attached on my Lexus es 300 as I was driving. It has been 2 months since the last oil change and I use hardex fully synthetic SAE 5W 30. I moved to my mech straight and he felt the oil in dipstick with his sense of touch and said it's light and dye for change. I told him I was more worried about that light on dashboard. I changed the oil, drove it for that day and the next but this light is still there. Am I dealing with oil level or oil pressure? My dipstick level is max even before oil change and after. How can I solve this light problem?

kingreign:


Three things are involved.
1. Either your oil pressure switch is disconnected or cut
2. Your Engine oil pump isn't pumping adequately/anything at all.
3. Your oil filter is blocked

Don't pray it's #2 or 3 shaaa.

proclinician:


Pls, I changed oil bought new filter you're saying it's blocked how's that possible?

Oil pump will be examined tomorrow anyways

9icetoo:

Do the less invasive check first.
Check the oil pressure switch and it's wiring before going into oil pump.

Good evening all, plz I'm having an impossible untraceable problem with my 2004 Toyota Corolla, it all started from a pothole I mistakenly entered.
I noticed my car vibrates vigorously at 40km-60km but when I speed over 80km it becomes very smooth , hv changed all 4 tyres, hv done wheel balance twice, hv done alignment uncountable times, hv changed hub bearings 2 times, the last mechanic in my area I went to change all 2 front hubs and shaft to tokunbo and the problem still persist.
The thing is it only happens when I accelerate, but when I remove my foot from acceleration pedal it becomes smooth, if I hold to acceleration pedal it vibrates roughly again, they all said they Don't know what else to do again, it's so embarrassing plz help

My mechanic has been using Total 20w50 oil for the 3 oil change so far on my Toyota Matrix 2010. Is it advisable to switch now to 5w20? What are the implications if i continue with 20w50 oil. Please i am a lady and don’t know much about Cars. Also when i start up my car after close of work in the evening or early in the morning i hear a screeching sound what could be the cause?

Car smoking after service.

Hello please my car was fine then I decided to go service it, I changed my oil from my usual Total Quartz 5000 20w50 and decided to go for Emadeb 20w50, also changed oil filter and plugs, now the car has suddenly started smoking. I immediately used engine flush to flush out the oil and bought my normal Total oil. But the car still smokes heavily to the point that the oil is almost finished already. My mechanic is telling me he needs to bring down my engine and change my rings. Please advice me, what should I do?

Emadeb

Which one is emadeb again....naso I saw one duxxxx something 0w 20 5l at the junction of my house. The packaging was neat like with foreign logo on it. The man called the price 8k, I was confused. I said u mean the whole 5l or just the 1l bottle, the man insisted that the 5l goes for 8k last. Naso I flee for my life. I stick to Total 5w 30. Anything that is too cheap is a red flag. Secondly always go for trusted brands. My car smoked for sometime and it was ringed, now it's doing well. You might need to take that route eventually
