Thanks a lot Sir GAZZUZZ.

Thinking of pimping my ride landing by the end of this month, I like this rim but would want it in exchange for the standard rims. It's a 2007 Toyota camry (spider). How much can I budget for it including the formica interior trims, all exchange with the silver standard LE type?Though wasn't really budgeted for but would have loved to get it done before car leaves Lagos, if affordable.

GAZZUZ Sir, we noticed that my 2010 Highlander with 2.7L engine is shortening oil. I did the first service about 3 months ago using Mobil 5w 20 extended performance. That was the first service since purchase from Dubai. I drove it for about 2 months before this service and there was no shortage of oil all through.
No smoke, no strange sound.
I bought it and ran a scan on it before I shipped it to Nigeria myself, no issues.
Pls sir, what do you advice?

It is a 2AR-FE engine , stop relying on what was written on the cap , and follow what is written in the vehicle manual.

Oils thicker than 0-W20 WILL NOT HURT THE ENGINE.

use 5w30 or 5w40 engine oil oil burn will reduce significantly .

Hello Oga Gazzuzz, I want to know how reliable Toyota Celica is for a first car. I'm considering between the Celica and a Civic. How reliable is the Celica in comparison.

Thank you as I await your expert advice.

Hi Gazzuzz,

My mechanic advised me to raise the suspension on my camry 2009. The car is low and due to roads I often scrape the bottom. I was wary of it but it was done. Now when I am driving it just doesn’t give me that balance and I fear it’s a terrible mistake. Please advise how i can correct this.

As expected. Restore settings or risk damaging your C.V joints also

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature. Your fluid volume is perfect.


For the transmission, did you at any time replace engine ECU aka brainbox?

Is it advisable to buy new original bearing to put inside hub than buying a tokunbo hub? Car is a 2005 corolla, the more I accelerate, the more the humming sound increases.

Your pocket will determine. Original bearings are pricey (about ₦40k a pair) used wheel hubs on the other hand are cheaper but with unknown mileage covered.

Good evening oga gazzuzz.
Kindly advise
My 07 corolla keeps wetting a particular spark plug and it drags when accelerated or when ac is switched on. The engine too keeps vibrating when ignition is turned on.
Mechanic says they will have to change the valves and gasket.
What do you advise please.
P.S we have changed the nozzles and it's just that one plug that keeps getting wet

Well done GAZZUZZ.

Please do you have an idea of how much the transmission of BMW 525I 2005 could cost? Getting just the valve body for the car I use seems be wahala and I may consider it double spending.

To avoid double spending, I am thinking of changing it. Kindly advise
