Hello! I'm Nick from Kansas. I would be more than happy to help you with your issues. I'll do my best to get you the answers you're looking for. I help many customers so I will respond as soon as I can. Let's see if we can figure out what is causing the problem. I would start by changing the oil if it is very dark in color as it should be an amber color. What is the level on the dipstick when you read the oil level of the [engine](/topics-engine-toyota/)?
