Please when you say service, what exactly do you mean. I have a 2009 camry, use total 20W 50. Change it with oil filter every 4 months. Last changed my brake pads in dec, have no issues there. Also changed my engine air filter as well as cabin air filter in January. For those who have not changed their cabin air filter do so, the difference is massive Got my car in 2015, have never changed the coolant but will do that this weekend, only changed the transmission fluid last month. Never changed the steering fluid or brake fluid. Never changed my tyres although i working on changing the front 2 as soon as possible. My car have never been to the mechanic apart from when my hubs started making a droning noise when driving, the mechanic merely rotated the tyres and the noise stopped. Spend 20k on fuel each month. Drive from asaba to osha for work each day and back. I do the occasional wheel balancing and alignment prob 3- 4 times a year So abeg, what else needs servicing? 4 Likes |

SirJeffry: Almost all manufacturers have to respond to issues caused by miscalculations/errors/unknown conditions/interactions between components in real-world use versus during production/factory tests. Let me give an example. Honda Accord 2017 has the following problems as at today: 1. Regular driving on dirty and dusty roads in dry and dusty conditions can trip on an EVAP code 2. Pronounced rattle noise coming from the rear tray when playing bassy music Honda Accord 2016 has the following problems as at today: 1. Fuel leaks from the fuel tank to the fuel pump connection 2. Lost crankshaft position sensor signal due to corrosion in the engine wire harness 3. Engine that will crank but never start due to a problem with the No. 5 meter 10amp fuse 4. Engine rattle at startup for 1 to 3 seconds from a problematic vtc actuator lock pin 5. Popping, squeaking, clunking and creaking noises from the vehicle front suspension 6. Thumping and flapping sounds from vehicle rear when fan at high speed mode and climate control system in recirculation mode 7. MIL blinking, engine intermittent rattling and rough running during light acceleration or a steady cruise of between 30 and 65 mph 8. PCM software error that causes a low pressure problem in the cvt sometimes resulting in a slipping cvt belt and rpm surges when driving at highway speeds turning on the MIL 9. A judder from the torque converter lock-up clutch may be felt while driving between 20 and 60mph. the problem is typically misdiagnosed as a bad torque converter. When the true cause of the problem is ATF detoriation from intermittent high heat loads under certain driving conditions 10. A indash clock that resets or shows the wrong time likely due to a bad chip in the audio unit 11. Entering web browser text overwrites characters or voice recognition ends before you can speak due to mismatched radio information 12. Delamination issues within an i.c. produced by nxp and assembled into airbag sensor supplied by denso international america, inc. this delamination issue manifests itself as an open circuit within 13. Distorted/blurry rear window glass especially when viewed through the rearview mirror 14. Noticeable wind noise at ear level from either the driver's or the front passenger's window caused by a gap between the run channel and inner sash 15. Regular driving on dirty and dusty roads in dry and dusty conditions can trip on an EVAP code 16. Pronounced rattle noise coming from the rear tray when playing bassy music Buying a new car does not mean no car trouble. Some of these problems are still being investigated. For other problems, only temporary fixes have been suggested pending conclusion of remediation internal tests at the factory. 1 Like |

AutoElectNG: Thank you, 2007 camry had a timing belt problem, use oil excessively. Vehicle experts will advice you not to buy the 1st generation of a new model due to unforseen issues that will crop up, instead hold out for the 2nd generation when these issues have been fixed or go for the last generation of the previous model, those ones are always decked out and all issues sorted 1 Like |

amb962: Since u serviced it in March I don't think u need to service it again before going to the east. It depends on the mileage though. At what mileage did u change the oil and what is the mileage now. Under severe usage u should be able to go 4,000 miles before oil change. 1 Like |
