Altezza RS200 flat spots and hesitations.

okayy so the 5w-40 isnt proper for the engine?

All depends on where you live. You're in Africa aren't you? I'd class as that a hot climate so it's fine but if you live in Ireland, UK, NZ etc then 5w-30 is much better suited. The factory spec in the owners manual 5w-30/10w-30.
You could still run a 5w-30 in a hot climate but you 'd want one with a HTHS around 3.5 like Shell Helix Ultra, Mobil1 ESP, Redline, MOTUL 8100 X-clean or anything meeting A3/B3 or C3 specs.
Which 5w-40 are you using our of interest?

Hey friends! well, ive driven the car around it has hit now more than 50km, and the problem seems over, thank you all for the support!

and for the oil, well its LEXUS branded, and its 5W-40 its A3 standards. We cant get our hands on Shell or Mobil or any of these brands easily because people here don't know much of the the importance of Oil Grades..

anyway what is HTHS? and that 3,5 you mentionned?

This explains High Temp High Shear quiet well http://ezinearticles.com/?Understanding ... id=6817925

Can you get hold of a bottle & look on the back to see who it's made by?

[tezzax]

Sure well the bottle says "Made in U.A.E. by SNLOC Licensed by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION, Japan"

Part number : 08880-82790 (thats the one liter bottle)

ive googled but only russians links appear. check http://www.oil-original.ru/lexus-sae-5w ... -litr.html

Anyway thanks guys for all, but a new problem arised since the flat spots went away, but am gna start another thread and hopefully enjoy my fellow tezzans support! Much love! Thanks all.

Ow looks good then, didnt really know it was that good! anyway not bad! the information was well appreciated

[Altezza]

I have the same problem guys
I thought my sensors were playing up
And the oil comes out of the intake air box I don't why

So which gasket should I change ? Head gasket ? It's not over heating or anything

Plenum ?
When I press it all the way done it makes a tick tick noise something part of the intake thing I've noticed

And the heater is not working I checked the pipes going in side there's hardly water in there ?
Phone call well be much appreciated or reply
0064210717205 or viber
Need to fix this urgently

The gasket talked about will be the one for the cam cover and thats to stop oil getting down to the spark plugs/coils. you can get a new gasket or try sealing it with instant gasket becasue by all accounts even with a new gasket it isnt always fool proof for sealing pefectly.
