kingreign: I don't agree. Rebuilds are almost always cheaper than replacement. But people would rather just replace, because a rebuild takes a lot more time and at the end you still have a rebuilt engine. Better to buy a crate motor (dealer) or throw in a low-mileage junkyard motor (independent tech). 2 Likes |

ThrottleHolic: Just to point out that this is not quite accurate. Service history details including the specific engine oil and other fluids used, are available, one just needs to know where and how to go about sourcing the details. 1 Like

Now this is confusing… I intend to use the car for a week. This will enable notice any abnormality before taking it to a workshop and have all works done once.. For now the engine sounds so cool with no sign of worry at all. I took an independent mechanic before making the purchase… it runs very smoothly.. only the steering feels abit hard than usual.. Thank you all for the contributions, with time I will understand many of what you guys mentioned above . |

kingreign: I have been running M1 Extended Performance on both of those engines you mentioned. 1 year or 20k miles. Fram Ultra Synthtic Filters or M1 extended filters. Five years running now. Engines as clean as a whistle. Not a bit of sludge. Before I went this path though, many Nigerian mechanics condemned it but I noticed that Club Lexus US said the opposite. My research on Bobistheoilguy and many other authorities confirmed this too. I ignored my Nigerian mechanics and have never been happier. Disclaimer: My engine oil is American spec, original M1. The filters are top notch, original OEM too. To get this things here is a challenge, which may be why many mechanics here are against it and those overseas are for it. However, I know my way around, hence the results. However, if you insist on the contrary, you're right. I no get strenth to debate wetin I know like the back of my hand; wetin I dey do and my direct experience. 1 Like |

CarGuideNG: The is the internal Toyota service records available for dealer-maintained vehicles. Non-dealer maintained vehicles are not captured here. For such vehicles, what do you do? See? Further, as a general rule, this database isn't available to the public and hence, is an exception. CarFax, the leading VIN authority in the world, doesn't have this information. And, like you rightly mentioned, it takes someone who knows how to even access this ![]() |

belloabd1914: No allow anybody confuse you. Moto na simple thing, especially that one wey you buy. In no time, you will be shocked at how well you understand the vehicle. As for the small confusion here, na normal thing. No Nigerian man dey accept say im dey wrong about moto, football and politics, even if na nonsense im dey talk. You will get used to it. That steering issue, get a competent mechanic to flush out the old fluid and put synthetic Dex III compliant ATF there. I recommend either Valvoline Import ATF or Kixx Dex III ATF, both which are excellent options. That steering will go back to as soft as when new and the life span of the whole system will be prolonged. Make sure that the system is bled after for trapped air though. And, this is very important: those 2 recommendations above cost small money. They are not your regular 2.5k fluids. But, they are the very best for the job. 1 Like |

I have a lexus es300 I got toks in 2020. Csr drives well with zero problems but recently after the whole Xmas runaround I noticed acceleration problem. I scanned with my obd and got p0330 for knock sensor, p0420, p0430 for cats and two other codes related to small leak of fuel vapor. This acceleration problem presents as difficulty gaining speed, there seems to be a 5 seconds or so delay in speeding up from a low speed like after a check point. I called my mech he inspected plugs and coils and said they're bad I changed them all plus fuel filter/pump but this thing continued. I requested they inspect the cats for blockage which was the case in the upstream bank and I had it emptied but this thing no stop. I was confused. I ordered for new knock sensor plus the harness and I will fix them when they arrive. Yesterday on my way to pH I took closer look at the rpm and noticed it freezes sometimes. When I step on the gas on the highway I hear engine sound increase but rpm does not go up and speed does not increase. The rpm seems to be stuck at 1.4 as I step on the gas. At this time it is stuck, I struggle to gain speed till rpm starts moving up again. I was not happy how corolla just overtake me come give me serious gap while I was struggling for that 5 seconds but if I remove my feet on the gas and step on it again, the rpm actually goes up and I can attain upto 130km depending on the road conditions. Sometimes too the rpm bounces back to 1 with my feet on the gas then it sticks at 1 for 5 seconds then pushes upward as the car speeds up to high speed. My problem is mechanics in my area do not understand anything I am saying but I know something is wrong with this car. Does anybody have any idea what I'm missing? |

If I step on the gas it roars and takes 3-4 seconds before it speeds up… I serviced the car the day before yesterday, and it started moving fine.. I’ve not been able to use my car since yesterday due to Gear oil leakage.. mechanic said I need to change pump in the gear box… I thought u guys es 330 was sweet to use… Mechanic is charging 15k for pump 20k for workmanship.. I only just got this car barely a month, still looking for a good mechanic around ikeja, beesam , mafoluku |
