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??


The last time you change the oil, was it gauged and certified to be okay between you and your mechanic? If yes, then try to check if there's any leakage.

There has never been a time my oil go below the min mark before I change and I usually use 4L and it gauges well.

Meanwhile, the best recommend oil for your engine is the one written on the oil dip stick. The brand maybe Mobil, Total, or something else. It doesn't really matter.

I use the common oil filter sold thereabout 1500 naira. The park is blue.

Greetings nairalandrs, thanks for all you keep doing here.
Please my corolla 02 came up with this code after a scan p1349- manufacturer error, please what does this mean?
I also noticed that my engine oil looses viscosity very fast @ around 500km, Thus requiring frequent engine oil change(5w-30). Thanks in anticipation of your prompt response

Personally I think it's a waste of money spending money buying brand new.

Used parts will be there over 50,000milles depending on the terrain you ply.


I could supply all the used parts if you want.

Hello Gurus in the house. I am having a major issue with my car, a 2005 Toyota Camry. Just noticed that the 2nd ignition coil isn't receiving any current from the socket. I have changed spark plugs, changed coils and even had a rewire inspect if there is any electrical problem with the wiring somewhere. He has checked and didn't notice any, so he advised I change the cars brain box. Pls can this help solve the problem if done

Good afternoon.
Have the following problem with my 2008 HONDA CRV
1. Car suddenly dies while driving (did this like 5 times at different locations today) but starts immediately i turn it on.
2. Accelerating is sluggish an jerks and doesnt exceed 4000rpm...it would just rev high but wont change speed.

scanned it and showed the following codes;
P0010 - A camshaft position / actuator circuit open Bank 1
P0339 - Camshaft position Sensor A circuit intermittent

Please, i want to know ;
1. how much fixing this might cost

Also, i would be glad to get an estimate for a complete rewiring work for the car. Thanks
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by otbaba: 6:09pm On Jan 26, 2022
Can resetting the Transmission Adaptive Shifting help to resolve jerking transmission particularly when In hold ups and you intend accelerating..

I am talking about a honda city 2006 7 speed mode automatic transmission.

Also what ATF can be recommended for the car in question?
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by otbaba: 6:37pm On Jan 26, 2022
lease I need technical support for Honda City 2006 automatic 7 speed mode.

I noticed that lately when you are on a slow speed and you decide to accelerate again ,it jerks and jerks vigorously when you attempt to climb a hill.

Also, I noticed that after it has been driven for some time and parked, by the time you want to drive again say after another couple of hours it doesn't respond when you put the gear on drive. It will just revv and no motion will take place until you change the gear back to park and then back to drive twice or more before it will now respond. Though when on reverse or neutral it doesn't behave like that.

I also noticed that I could be driving and occasionally it will just revv by itself and no motion will take place for a couple of seconds. Instead you could see a deceleration of the gear speed back to 1 even when you try to fire the engine. I will have to switch between park and drive for it to respond again and move .

Lastly I noticed the green light when on drive could be blinking when I intend to start the car at times. I will have to allow it cool for some time and restart the car before the blinking stops.

Please what can be the issue? My mechanic says it was initially coil affecting the transmission , we changed it, later we changed the plugs and also one of the sensors but the these things still continues... And the jerking can be very profound if the A/C is on and you are about to accelerate maybe after a hold up. Someone said maybe it's the gear but sincerely on a normal speed no jerking of any sort. I changed the ATF to Jeezco ATF some months ago around October.

Kindly help pls.

Hi so i have a lexus es 300, got it toks, car no get issues at all and i service regularly with recommended oil from mobil. Recently after very long long drives in very dusty sandy areas i noticed my care de loose speed when driving in highway. Now i noticed this when i was trying to overtake korope on the highway it was harder than normal i asked the person i was traveling with if korope is fast like this. I knew there was an issue in my car drive power. Then i can overtake normal with high speed oo say i am doing 100 then approach a truck i can easily swerve if there is space and continue. now if i approach a mack and slow down behind for it to make space, if i try overtake it it is no longer easy again as before i have to try upto 3 times. it feels slow uphill especially when i slow down before ascending now i have to be removing my feet from the gas pedal after i step on it to force it into gear change i dont nw if this helps anything. Other than these there s no jerking, no shaking, the rpm is stable in idling with AC, though i de notice some kind intermittent shake when idling. then the car is smoother when in park than when in drive while idling i dont know if this is normal.

now i think my fan is noisy i dont know if its true. again when i turn on AC in the morning i hear a whyning sound that lasst for about 2 mins and stops. I have scanned the car and only got my usual knock sensor and catalyst codes it has had from day 1. What do i do to regain power pls and be dusting all the corolla boys on the highway
