loss of power - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I got my oil changed awhile back and since then it seems like ive got a loss of power in the lower gears. the acceleration seems much poorer.
any ideas?

That's odd. Who replaced your oil? Did they refill it with proper oil?

Maybe it could also be your tranny fluid? Did they check that?

In my very first Cam i got an oil change and a day later I blew the engine seals .... messy repair = messy bill :razz:.

How did that happen?

Blew the front and rear main seals?

The monkeys at the oil change place probably put too much oil in the crankcase and the seals blew because of the pressure build up or they used a real shotty oil filter. Be careful of those oil change places, they dont know jack about our toyota engines.
