dru23:Would you recommend 20w50 (Mobil xhp 1000 ) for a toyota rav4 2009 model and if yes what should be the maxumum mileage between oil change? Also what is the recommended 1. Coolant fluid 2. Automatic transmission fluid that can be used for the same auto model? Please how often should AT fluid be changed? Pardon my many questions for I am no expert in autos. Thanks |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by temi4fash(m): 11:29am On Feb 11, 2022 |
jinka: Check the toop of the engine cover of your car. The right oil to be used is written on it.. You can never go wrong with that |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by dru23(m): 11:30am On Feb 11, 2022 |
DGreatACO: I always recommend car owners should follow owners at all times. 20w50 is not the recommended oil for that car .... If you look at the oil cap of the engine , it should tell you either 5w20 or 0w20 For ATF, please do not go around changing ATF like you change oil . IF the ATF is pinkish in color , please do not change. But if it is dark in color , please change it . And you might also have to change the transmission filter along with the ATF ....... The recommended ATF (pic) below .... We have it in stock next month. Make sure u buy from reliable source . Fake plenty for MARKET Coolant... People will recommend to use Toyota coolant . And people will tell to use green color Toyota coolant etc . It is not the color that matters, it is the chemical used is use to make the coolant..... Prestone coolant, Super TECH coolant .. Will do just fine and will protect your engine up to 100k miles or more Ps. I hope your rav4 is a v6 engine. The v6 engine are solid engine . while the 4cylinder are known to short oil . From experience once you drive the v6 engine of a rav4 , you will never and never want to drive a 4cyclinder. The v6 are stronger and faster and fun to drive. Very strong engine...... And I hope say na tokunbo you buy am o . but if na naija use u go buy, I wish you the best of luck from a safe distance Below pic is a rav4 I bought for a client about 2yrs ago . so I know wetin I dey talk

dru23: Morning, Thanks for the reply. I mentioned 5w20 because that was also written on the filler cap .and I'm thinking it will be cheaper than the 0w20 . How much is this oil ? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by dru23(m): 12:18pm On Feb 11, 2022 |
SpeedRacer: Our engine oil prices are very good and competitive in price.. The Super tech is 22500k .. Very good oil check the reviews by Project Farm on Youtube Pennzoil Ultra 27k ..... Excellent engine oil . This is the prefer oil from our Lexus Rx350 customers .... And this my own oil of choice for my 2011 Infiniti |

Gazzuzz do you think I should use water for my radiator coolant? I was also wondering if could use 20w-50 engine oil.

Hello everyone. Please, I noticed my break oil shorting. Mechanic couldn't dictate where the leak is from. As no leak on the wheel. He suggested we open the break Master, but I have been topping up. Recently, I just decided to match on the break while car is off And pump it. I noticed fluid coming down from a hose under the break pedal. By the leg side. How do I go about this. Have any one noticed this before. Camry 04 |
