Toyota gives a variation of engine oils to use, based on ambient temperature.

My recommendation is 5w30 and not 0w20.

Good day Gazzuzz and other gurus in the house. I have some issues I need guidance on. I got a Toyota Corolla 2003 in September and drove it for only one month and the transmission started giving me issues. If parked for a while, it delays to pick up when you select Drive. I took it to a mechanic that said the solution was to change the gear oil and correct the setting. I obliged and he did it. The problem stopped temporarily and started again after few days. Please what else can I do to correct this? Thanks

Hello Gazzuzz and other Gurus in the house

The other day I complained of how a kazeem serviced my car and the engine refused to start

Another mechanic came and checked the car, he changed the coil and sealed the intake manifold with gum, it now moves now, albeit not very efficient as I know it still needs some work to be done, and I think I need a professional that will fix all the issues for me

I scanned the car and it brought out the following errors

P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
P0031 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
P0037 - H02S2 Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
P0713 - Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit High Input
P0748 - Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Electrical
P0778 - Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical
P0798 - Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical
P2716 - Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Electrical
P0793 - Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit No signal
P0983 - Shift Solenoid “D” Control Circuit High
P0986 - Shift Solenoid “E” Control Circuit High
P2017 - Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit High Bank
P2610 - ECM/PCM Internal Engine Off Timer Performance
P2770 - Torque Converter Clutch Circuit High

Please advice accordingly

Please I need your advise on some issues on my Toyota corolla 2009 model. Firstly the low tyre gauge indicator just started showing on the dash board since I did alignment and wheel balancing and it has stayed like that for a month even after trying to gauge the tyre and even reset the error.
Secondly P0031 error code has been displaying on the dashboard. Please how can I resolve these issues. Thanks

Just noticed an issue with my car.
Toyota camry 08.
Fan don't come on even after waiting for 45mins unless the air conditioning is powered. Even when it's comes on with the a/c on, it doesn't cut off except slight change in speed.

Fan still in factory settings, no local connection at all. What could be the culprit

I dint wait for that to happen. The reservoir started boiling at some point and letting out steam. It's not normal.
After 30 mins it's usually picks and cut off. Even when ac is on, it picks and cut off.

You didn't mention that.

Monitor temp readings via live scan on a scan tool. With ac off.

Good morning house. I really need you guys input on this. I've been seeing some strange indicators on my dashboard, and even my mechanic told me to ignore it, it'll go on its own, I can't just shake off the feeling that something is wrong somewhere.

I took a picture of the indicators and it's attached below to this post.
