[quote author=KINGreignn post=88541955] Your location matters, Service history of the vehicles matters, The current state of the vehicles matters also. [Thanks. Location Warri and both vehicles were service last in June 2019. |

myners007:What type of oil was used in servicing them? Were the vehicles parked or still actively being used till now? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by myners007: 2:59pm On Apr 17, 2020 |
KINGreignn:Mobil oil and they are still been used actively |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by KINGreignn: 3:22pm On Apr 17, 2020 |
myners007: There are many grades of Mobil oils, a lot aren't even suitable for your cars so I wouldn't know the grade used. That said, Toyota recommends a 5000miles/7,500 km or 6months oil change interval. That said, I'd advice you continue to use the exact grade of oil used previously in servicing them. |

GAZZUZZ: Greetings Boss Gazzuzz. I like what you did here. Please could you do same for me? I'm torn between getting a 2008 Lexus ES 350 and a 2013 Toyota Camry. Especially cost of replacing the major parts like Engine and transmission. Thanks. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:35am On Apr 18, 2020 |
Machini: Is the 2013 Camry V6? Or 4 cylinder |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Machini(m): 4:34pm On Apr 18, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ:It's 4 cyl Sir. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 4:45pm On Apr 18, 2020 |
Machini: The ES350 is notorious for transmission failure irrespective of mileage. I inspected a 90,000 mile ES recently that had a defective gearbox . You are better of with the camry 2 Likes |

GAZZUZZ:Oga gazzuzz pls what's your take on Lexus is250 2007 model. It ticks all my boxes on the outside but i need an expert's view. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:02pm On Apr 18, 2020 |
olumzzz: my responses will be biased. Best to ask Somone who has owned or currently owns one in Nigeria. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Machini(m): 7:05pm On Apr 18, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ: Wow. Okay, thanks Boss. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by olumzzz(m): 7:14pm On Apr 18, 2020 |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:46pm On Apr 18, 2020 |
olumzzz: parts are scarce, never drive through 2inches of water or risk damaging the electronically assisted power steering. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by drakeskull(m): 10:47pm On Apr 18, 2020 |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jeraw: 11:17pm On Apr 18, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ:please sir, I want to ask if this also applies to 2008 Elantra (Dana Spec) because it already has an EPS light on the dashboard. Thanks |

GAZZUZZ: Boss GAZZUZZ of Life. Good Morning oo. I am in the process of servicing my toyota camry 2006 (4 Cylinder, 2.4L engine) which i bought in february, 2020. I have not carried out a service before i started using but i feel the need to do so immediately being that i have started smelling that awful smoke smell while the car is on. Also i notice that it take a little more than 2 seconds after igniting the car before it starts (although im attributing that to the security feature of the car (my own opinion though and i might be right or wrong)). Now i want to have it serviced for the first time in my possession but dont know which engine oil grade i should use. I currently dont have the financial muscle to get the Mobil 1 engine oil i hear almost every one recommend still i would love your recommendation for a good quality engine oil for my car. P.S recommendation is also needed for Transmission fluid and Brake oil fluid. Thank you. Cc: Othe Gurus in the house. |

DadR: Vin and engine bay pics usually the best |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by DadR: 8:46am On Apr 19, 2020 |
I don't have the VIN yet but here is the engine bay. Gazzuzz GAZZUZZ:

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by drakeskull(m): 9:37am On Apr 19, 2020 |
dyrocha: That 2 seconds delay could be as a result of old engine oil in the car. It's common in BMW, if you fail to change oil when due you experience such. I don't know if same applies to Toyota. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:55am On Apr 19, 2020 |
dyrocha: You must not use mobil1. Search for any good brand of engine oil with the 5w30 weight. Don't be deceived , there are only two recommend oils it's either full synthetic or mineral. That semi is a scam. Good luck |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by tonylaw07(m): 11:03pm On Apr 19, 2020 |
Please I need your advice. I changed the ac compressor of my 2003 toyota Camry and the ac guy connected the Fans direct. Now the engine is so noisy and the idle is above 1000rpm. I even noticed the car has started consuming fuel. Before the compressor was changed the aux fan only comes on when the engine gets hot. Please what can I do. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ojeysky(m): 8:32am On Apr 20, 2020 |
tonylaw07: Go and change it back, connecting fans direct is wrong it will slow the process of the engine hitting operating temperature which would contribute to high rpm and fuel consumption |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Bigade: 9:24pm On Apr 20, 2020 |
Good job being done here Oga GAZZUZZ, I have some questions that I need your enlightenment, 1. Please can you give a name of any Good Brand of oil that you can recommend for either full synthetic or mineral, and which one is the best between the two. 2. And Again, is it possible to change the brand of oil someone is using for a particular car before to a new one, and if possible is there any side effect to this. 3. If someone want to buy a new shock absorber, which one can you recommend between the new one and tokunbo and must it be buy with a spring. 4. Which gear oil is good for a Toyota Camry 2000 model. Thanks in anticipation as I'm waiting for your response. GAZZUZZ: |
