Car Problem

**misterioman** · September 25th, 2015 06:48 AM

Hello tsikoteers

May iconsult lang ako regarding sa nangyari saken kagabi.

On my way home from Lipa to Manila, nagkatrouble si Avanza AT. Pagkaexit ko ng Tambo, bigla na lang umilaw si "check engine oil" then sabi ko na baka maka abot pa ng sto tomas kasi maraming talyer dun.

During the travel, may ingay pag inaapakan ko ung silinyador pero pag di naman, walang ingay. Hanggang sa umilaw na ung 3 warning lights sa dashboard (check batt, engine oil, etc.) Nung matabi ko, ayaw ng magstart. Pag ka click, wala ng redondo. Malakas naman battery. Kakapalit ko lang last year.

Ano kayang nangyari and ano magiging solusyon.

Car is *74k odo. Last change oil and maintenance *67k.

Thanks in advance.

Last oil change was mineral oil? When was the last oil change? 2 yrs ago?

yari. dapat si mo na tinakbo. mukhang overhaul na katapat nyan bro.

probably due to sludge or natuyuan ka ng langis due to leak. either way, malaking gastos yan

Dapat po tinabi nyo na sir nun umilaw na yun oil indicator sir. I agree with sir sirkosero malamang general overhaul na po yan dahil tumigil na yun engine nyo while running. Pabuksan nyo po para malaman extent nang damage.

you violated the basic driving rule of "NEVER drive on RED!" meaning stop driving as soon as you see a RED warning light on the instrument cluster... the engineers placed colors on that thing for a REASON, and RED means STOP!

since di ko naman nakikita tsikot mo, palagay ko engine seizure/lock up na yan due to poor lubrication as indicated by the low engine oil warning light that you mentioned...

So hindi pwedeng gamiting measurement ang oil dipstick? Kasi nasa right level naman sia.
Ang last na change oil was march 2015 and fully synthetic na ang gamit.

Lesson learned nga tong nangyaring ito. I was hoping na aabot hanggang sto tomas dahil nakalabas na ko ng star toll.

You won't really know the extent of internal damage of your engine until you get it opened sir. Even if the dipstick oil level is good the sludge inside due to long change oil intervals sticks to your engines internal parts and the little holes where oil should pass has clogged up slowly killing it. Best is to maintain a regular 5k kms or 4months change oil routine to prevent sludge. Kahit mineral basta regular and change oil lang.

... sounds expensive...
engine seizure due to loss of lubrication?
only in opening up the engine will you know just how expensive..
if car is still under warranty, i think you should have toyota do the opening.. baka puede pang i-pasok sa warranty or insurance..

puno nga ang oil sa oil pan as measured by the dip stick pero hindi naman maka akyat sa taas ng makina due to blockage of some sort which was detected by the oil pressure sensor... so therefore hindi pwede basis ang oil dipstick alone...
