I really commend you for taken out time solving people's vehicular problems. God will continue to strengthen you. Please, I did my toyota Corolla 05 car service sometimes in late November, about 2months now. It occur to me yesterday that I should check my engine oil then I noticed the oil is short without any sign whatsoever. The engine works fine, not smoky and no signs of short engine oil on my dashboard. What could could possibly be the cause and what should I do? |

Kala11: Check for any sign of leak around the engine. |

larrixauto2017: Good day Engineer, please I need your professional advice. My Lexus es330 was acquired by November 2019 (Toks) and properly serviced. A few days ago, after going on a trip, the "Maintenance Required" light came up on my dash. And I have just driven about 3k miles with it in the past two months. I have checked the oil gauge, and I think it's at an okay level, oil not dark nor greasy. Do I ignore this notification or is there a fix? |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by larrixauto2017(m): 3:20pm On Jan 16, 2020 |
White04:Hello sir... according to you. You said your maintenance required light come after driving it .Not up to 3k miles... *Did you check the service record of the car befor buying it i mean the history.. *Did your dealer serviced it when he/she bought it. *And also how long has it used in Nigeria before you buy it. Yes sir the maintenance light that comes up suddenly after like about 3k miles is not okay.. But you wil consider the time he has used in nigeria and did the seller service it before selling it to you... And also did you take an automechanic down to the car for an inspection before getting it.. If not sir. Get a mechanic to help you run a check on it i mean a good technician that make use and understand the scan too very well sir..He should help you and run a computerized scan on it sir...Look into all what i have written sir.. And pls let me get a feed back from you..Thanks. |

White04: What's the year model? Which oil did you use for service? |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by White04: 11:12am On Jan 19, 2020 |
Mrford: Lexus es330 2005 Oil uses was Mobil 1000 4 litres |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by Mrford(m): 11:34am On Jan 19, 2020 |
White04: Your car uses a 3mz-fe engine. You are using the wrong oil. Manufacturer recommended oil weight is SAE 5w30 (its wrriten on your engine oil fill cap) Drain and refill as soon as possible with 5w30 oil weight and a new filter. The 4L you used is small. Oil capacity is 4.7L with filter changed or 4.5L if you are not changing filter. |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by White04: 11:37am On Jan 19, 2020 |
Mrford: Thanks so much bro. Will be draining the oil by Monday. GAZZUZZ also hinted on that. I appreciate you all. Thanks for the help. |

Nice job larrixauto2017, I just read about coolants. from what I read, I was made to understand that coolant is better than water. Due to this, I want to give it a try, which coolant do you suggest for 2000 model of Lexus RX300? PS: There are no issues with the radiator or Engine, just want to explore |

My 04 toyota camry vibrates when a/c kicks start I realised the rpm pin is almost at zero when car a starts and a/c is turned on. A mech the other day help raised the rpm pin to 1 but after few drive around, it dropped back again... is that there is some sort of device that regulates the pin that needs to be changed? How do i fix this? Its annoying when the vibrations sets in except you tap the gas pedal a lil or to 1 rpm before it normalises |
