Haywhy433:Well if you're going for the corolla, I'll advise you comprehensively insure it. You can use Leadway or AXAMansard as they respond to claim requests promptly. |

nacozee:My opinion: Using an extended performance should be commensurate with using a premium oil filter. If you didn't use a premium oil filter, just do the 5k miles jejely. 2 Likes |

I would like to get an advice on my car. I bought this GS350 in November and changed it Mobile 1 oil with filter. Few days into January, it pops up showing me low oil. Please I would like to know if it's normal? If possible, can I get a recommended oil and filter that fits the car to drive the supposed 5000m before changing? Thank you. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:24pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ariiinze: You do not check your engine oil regularly. Your engine oil level is low. Top it up. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Ariiinze: 12:39pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ: Thanks for the swift response. It's not been more than a month I got the car and the oil low popped up. I don't know if it's a thing that happens with GS350? Can you please recommend a better oil for the GS350 and filter as well? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:45pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ariiinze: You currently have one of the best oils (if original and the right weight). Top it up. What exactly did you put into it? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Ariiinze: 12:48pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ: Mobil 1 5 something which I can't remember. That's why I'm asking if there's room for improvement or another oil would be required to buff up the engine? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:58pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ariiinze: I can only help you if you can help your self. What is 5 something |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by samuelson06(m): 3:08pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ariiinze: I'm not a mechanic but it sounds like there's a problem. If the engine oil was gauged and it fell within the min-max mark on the oil gauge and your mileage isn't up to 5k since last oil change nor have you used the car up to 2 months, then you should be worried about something else. The problem here may not be about topping the oil to gauge it but also considering the oil filter because oil change and filter usually go together. If you don't change the filter along with the oil, the filter may become due for a change while the oil is not. So, whatever you do, they must be a balance between these two things. Like I said, I'm not a mechanic but just saying this from my head. 1 Like |

GAZZUZZ: Mobil 1 5w30. That's the oil used sir |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Ariiinze: 5:11pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
samuelson06: Thank you for your contribution. I changed the oil with the filter. Now I plan on changing them and refilling again on Saturday. Is there anything needed to be checked, best recommend oil to use and filter as well?? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 5:25pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ariiinze: What quantity of engine oil did you use the last time? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Ariiinze: 5:33pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ: Complete 6 liters. I bought 5 and added another. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ahmstrng(m): 5:35pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ:No i didnt. I managed to locate the evap sensor right beside the engine. It was serviced and yet the error code remains |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 5:52pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ariiinze: Engine is burning oil. Could be a case of fake oil, or engine just plain old engine wear and tear in which case we back to where we started

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Ariiinze: 6:25pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ: I saw the one I used on the second picture. So what oil do you recommend that is originally synthetic sir? I had to take a picture of my engine cover to show you so as to make you recommend a better oil please.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:41pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ariiinze: open the cover (where you pour oil), take a pic of the inside of the engine, if it looks like the first pic, contact me for original full synthetic Mobil1 oil. If it looks like the 2nd pic, you have no biz with synthetic oils, just run mineral and drain oil every 2000miles 08033910382

GAZZUZZ: I'll take a picture and post here. Again, how can I the oil since I'm not in Lagos. I'm in Onitsha, Anambra State. Is there a plug you have here to get it Handy after I most have taken the picture? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Grupo(m): 8:30pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ: Sorry to cut in. But the picture below is my engine the last time I opened it. Do you think it's normal? Or okay?
