My car, Nissan maxima 2002 gle, v6 3.5L consumes lot of fuel especially in the city. Just few moving around the city with no traffic, I used up to 20 litres in 2 days. Please what can I do to resolve the issue.
Moreover, the sound changes from quiet to a bit loud when I engage the gear to either R or D while idle but goes quiet again when I'm in motion I.e high sound when I apply brakes but low/normal in motion

Secondly, please can you recommend a very suitable and efficient engine oil, gear oil and oil filter for the car as I am scared of buying just any.

Thanks in anticipation

My car Toyota Rav 4 2006 V6 is showing CEL, VSC and 4WD lights on the dash board. I ordered for this multi system scanner for toyota cars and used it for the diagnosis the result is P0420 and P0430. just as seen in the pix.
I feel the car consumes fuel although the everything seems to be ok since its just 3months old.


Please where can i buy the original catalyst system for the car?
Can i get other advice based on this from guys with similar experience.

Thanks Gazuzz for the reply. although I have already reposted it on your thread.
How reliable are the toks from ladipo. Are there new ones? how affordable are they?

Can this issue be responsible for poor fuel economy?

What can I get swapping with a 2003 VW passat?

Off topic,

Why are you swapping your passat, i am about to buy this same car and i will like to know you experience with it.

1. Is the passat a good car

2. What is cost of maintenance like (average or expensive)

3. Do you experience breakdowns with this ride, if yes, how often?

Would you advise me to buy a passat or go for something else.

Looking for to your response. Thanks in advance
