No need to be afraid, I was changing plugs when I was 12 with my dad nearby. Now with the internet it's even easier.Unknown18281 wrote: ↑ I'm not gonna change them, my dad has a friend who is gonna change them. I'm 15 years old. What are they gonna expect from me
1. We don't have the tools. My dad's friend has the toolsengineered wrote: ↑ No need to be afraid, I was changing plugs when I was 12 with my dad nearby. Now with the internet it's even easier.
Show us pics of the old plugs when you have them.

Where did you get this list? I have been driving Camry vehicles for over 18 years and never had to replace half of the stuff you mentioned at well over 216K. I would suggest that you research stuff before posting it and complicating the issue with unnecessary items.divx wrote: ↑here is the list of proper maintenance for that milage

Yesterday, we filled up and the car was averaging 18.9L/100kmhightech wrote: ↑ Where did you get this list?

If the poster followed the Toyota maintenance schedule and fixed issues as they arise, the relevant items would be addressed.
I used to have a 2005 Camry LE V6, and back in the day I did an injector service and throttle body cleaning at the dealer. It made a difference in smoothness, power, and fuel efficiency.
Are you sure these numbers are right? I don't mean to doubt you, but that consumption is insane.Unknown18281 wrote: ↑ Yesterday, we filled up and the car was averaging 18.9L/100km
I take it you uh don't drive in Brampton on the regular?motomondo wrote: ↑ Are you sure these numbers are right? I don't mean to doubt you, but that consumption is insane.
A 2009 Camry 2.4 is supposed to have a fuel economy L/100 km: 9.5 City / 6.2 Highway. How are you averaging 18.9 L / 100km? That is almost twice!!!

we got a remote starter installedhightech wrote: ↑ OP mentioned that they "warm up the car 5 to 10 min". On newer vehicles this does not need to be done. I would just start the car, wait 20 seconds to make sure the oil is pumped in the engine and drive away. Warming the car can cause issues on FI vehicles. This is not the old Dodge of the 70's that you had to do this.
Well if you are remote starting the car to warm it up for 15 to 20 min, you are going to kill your fuel economy.Unknown18281 wrote: ↑ we got a remote starter installed
Well, everytime my parents fill up, I find out the trip reading and the litres filled and divide them and times it by 100. No my dad does not drive taxi/uberkoffey wrote: ↑ For someone who's 15 and can't drive, how do you know so much about the fuel efficiency of cars that you do not own or drive? How are you properly calculating these figures? Are you looking at some screen? Is your dad driving for uber/taxi and you tag along or he's great at keeping records for tax season?
Legit question(s).
