Recently, I was traveling from Owerri to Lagos with a 2009 Camry Muscle V6. At around Delta, the car started smoking and i noticed it wasn't throttling dowm again.

i managed it for a while till i got to a town where i got a mechanic to check it. He said the gear oil was low so the tramsmission was vomitting oil on the hot emgine causing smoke.

The recommemded oil was not available so we cleaned and topped it with ABRO ATF and i moved.

The gear was shifting smoothly till i got to Okada in Edo State. The smoking started again and gears wasnt changing. i parked and got mechanic again.

Same problem - gear oil was bad. Recommended oil wasnt available. We had to flush the transmission completely and use Dextron III so i could continue my journey.

I drove to Lagos without further trouble but some days later as i was going home, I noticed the car wasnt speeding no matter how much I throttled.

The gear wasnt changing and my car was crawling. Could barely climb a small slope on the road. It had to be pushed to a safe spot for the night.

The next morning, I drove it home without issues then called a mechanic. The guy says I have to buy a new transmission. I really no dey buoyant now.

Please any suggestions on what to do? The car is parked right now but moves well. I suspect the problem might be solved if I use the right oil - WS.

Good afternoon gentlemen. Please, I just got a 2006 Toyota Camry (big daddy). I've been using 1999 toyota Sienna which I sold recently. I have maintenance required and ABS indicators on the dash of big daddy (photo 1). Little online research shows the maint reqd is about oil change. That brings me to my first question.
1- WHAT ENGINE OIL SHOULD I USED FOR THE CAMRY, PLEASE. I intend changing it asap. MEANWHILE I HAVE a spare 4 liter keg of Mobil super.
2- Do all Toyotas use the same oil filter, reason is I have a spare filter which was left of my collection for the Sienna, now sold. I usually buy my filters alongside the oil at Mobil filling stations. Every help and support will be appreciated. Thank you.

kingreign:


Use Mobil 1 (assuming that mileage isn't doctored)
I doubt if the filter is same across board except your engine is a 3MZ which is compatible with your sienna's filter.

Meanwhile, scan that abs system for malfunction.

Hello sir, please my Toyota Camry 07 is telling me maint reqd, I serviced it in March with Mobil 1 5W-20 extended performance high mileage formula and since then I have travelled less than 4000 miles. I notice that when I want start the engine, it signals the main reqd but disappears after sometime.

The engine oil is supposed to go for nothing less than 15000 miles. Kindly assist with this, thanks.

kingreign:


Your car manufacturer specified 5W30 fully synthetic, with an OCI of 5000 miles, why flagrant abuse of these recommendation?

Do the right thing, the use of 5W20 in an engine not tested and recommended for is gonna case accelerated wear and tear and premature damage to the engine.

As for the blinking Maintenance required light, check your owners manual.

Just got a 2000 Camry with 160k miles on it .It is my first Toyota so I do not know much about Toyota what i really want to know now is why does my Camry shift into second gear at 3000 rpm I know if you push the pedal hard on auto trans. they usually shift at higher rpm but mine shift at 3000rpm even if I baby the gas pedal is this normal or could there be something I could look out for?

The oil has been serviced with Mobil ATF so I don't think the problem is oil related please all Toyota users and lovers is this normal for my year and model of Camry?
