Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by akanxpress: 6:28am On Mar 15, 2013
What ATf should be used on 1990 benz 230e and how can one in Uyo order from you. Also, do you. sell parts? One has need for TCU for the above car
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by sooperrescue(m): 9:59pm On Mar 15, 2013
Jeep commander uses ATF +4 and you will need up to six litres.We can send that to you. For oil change, You can use TOTAL oil Q4x4. It is very good for jeeps. Besides that, change the tyres. If you read the tyre markings, the speed ratings is very low, either T or S which is not ideal for Nigerian roads as the speed limiter of the tyre can cause a burst tyre scenario on the highway. When fitting new tyres, let it be V or W or Y with Temperature A. Please put on your headlights when you are on the road. Join our Be Seen Be Safe road safety advocacy and ensure those sitting at the rear put on their seat belts.
For the V booth mercedes, use Mobil ATF for your transmission. What is wrong with ECU? Mercedes Benz cars don't work well with our fuel and so all the issues involving your car are caused by the fuel. You can let me know what is actually wroing with your car by sending us a mail at our new email address info@arcnigeria.com. The old one has been compromised. You will need Octane booster for your VBoot. It is the only solution in order to enjoy your car. We can source for spares for you through our vendors in Ladipo and surulere

Hello sir. I just got a used 2004 passat with 179000 miles on it. Kindly advise on right (naija) lubrication for engine and automatic transmission. Thanks.
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by tochiz(m): 9:20pm On Mar 26, 2013
I must say this is one of the best poster & auto advisory on Narialand coz now I know this I didn't know before. I was using a Nissan maxima & using sea horse ATF & I changed gearbox like 3 times before I dumped the car not sold ooo its in my village in Anambra now.
I use a Mercedes c-class so pls advice me on ATF & engine oil, I work in abj so I can visit your office any time & please jow do one know about sludge in the engine & how to flush it??
Tnx & God will grow your business beyond your imagination.
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by sooperrescue(m): 8:39pm On Mar 27, 2013
Passat 2004, beautiful car but very selective on fuel and when used with regular unleaded, the first casualty is the gear box. The car works well with premium unleaded and it is not available in the country. We have the ATF for Passat and you can use any synthetic oil for the engine oil. Our Pure Guard is also synthetic transmission fluid that can protect your transmission for as long as you are using the car. All you need to do is to flush the fluid and put in fresh fluid. Check your engine oil chambers and see if you have sludge. If there is sludge, we can sell the engine flush to you and we will advise you accordingly on how to use it. We also have octane booster for you to add to the fuel. It converts the regular unleaded to premium.
For the C Class, you can use pure guard too and the fuel requirement is premium unleaded fuel only. But I dont know the model of your c class whether it is 202,203 or 204? If it is the 202 model, that is before 2000, you can use Dexron 111 but if it is 203 or 204, Dexron VI is recommended and that is the Pure Guard which is a multi vehicle ATF.
On the sludge in your car, it is understandable because of the fuel that you have been using which is different from the one recommended by the manufacturer. You can call us on 08098534267. Our new workshop is close to Games Village in Abuja. We will open the garage for business on Tuesday next week. We have the Engine flush , Octane Booster and Engine oil and transmission fluid for both German machines.
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by nonyb1(m): 10:07pm On Mar 27, 2013
Pls,which ATF is best recommended for Honda odyssey from 2001 to 2002 models and above? And what can be done with the fuelling to avoid sludges as it requires premium unleaded fuel which I think is not present in the country[color=#006600][/color]
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by nonyb1(m): 10:08pm On Mar 27, 2013
And what can be done with cars that requires premium unleaded fuel which is not present in the country??
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by sooperrescue(m): 7:51am On Mar 28, 2013
Honda Odyssey requires ATF Z1 or Dexron 111. But if you have been using other substandard fluids, I will advise that you use Dexron vi to rectify the error. Your Honda does not require premium unleaded fuel but if you have a car that uses premium, we advise that you use Octane Boosters. It works very well and makes the fuel burn evenly and all the carbon deposits and sludge will be reduced. We sell high quality Octane Boosters and Engine flush but the Octane Booster is not needed on your Honda.
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by visitor30(m): 10:22am On Mar 28, 2013
@ Sooper Rescue,
Thanks for the information being shared here.
Please I really need your advice, my Honda CRV - 98 model has started giving problem with the auto gear transmission. Although, before now the gear display on D keeps blinking,but even at that, the gear changes smoothly until lately.

The gear finds it difficult (drags) to shift from gears 2 to 3 and also from gears 4 to 5. it will drag for a while before the gear changes. This just started over the weekend and am very scared. Last year in December, we changed the Transmission fluid and use the Mobil ATF, based on advice from my Mechanic.

Also what is the best Engine oil to use.

Will appreciate your advice on the way forward, Thanks!
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by sooperrescue(m): 6:09pm On Mar 28, 2013
I am sorry for the news. Your CRV uses Dexron 111 and any other oil will not work. All Nigerian oil marketers are producing ATF for the 90s and none is good for Honda. Your Mechanic gave you that advice based on the available fluids in the market. I suggest you stop driving the car in order not to destroy the fibers in the gear. Let an auto electrician service the electronics on top of the gearbox and we can get you the ATF Dexron 111, If properly flushed, you will use between 5 to 6 litres.
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by nonyb1(m): 11:01pm On Mar 28, 2013
Thank u very much on ur advice sir,I really do appreciate sir,pls dnt be offended,I really want to see wat this ATF Z1 or dexron 111 looks like,dnt mind if u can post a picture of it sir,cos I see some ATF with name seahorse and dexron 111D is written below it too,and this same ATF was used for my uncles Mercedes Vboot 300E but refuse to work,pls is it the required ATF for older model Vboot?and pls the real dexron 111 for Honda does it have any other name written on it or is it only dexron 111?pls help me out sir.
THANKS.
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by sooperrescue(m): 6:39am On Mar 29, 2013
Our Dexron 111 is not sold in the open market. It is called GARD dexron 111/Mercon. It works on cars that requires Dexron 11,11e and 111 and Mercon. Ford uses Mercon, Nissan Quest also uses Mercon, there are many cars that uses mercon but also pay attention not to use Dexron iii on cars that requires Mercon V or LP. The fluid for that is Dexron vi and that is our multi purpose Pure Guard. I have gone round and have never seen Dexron 111D. Nigerians import anything to make profit. That is why Abro is being imported by Coscharis but they dont use it in their workshops. Many importers do not even know the type of ATF they import, they just bring it into the country. There is this issue that confounds me. Years ago, I went to Lanre Badmus and met their works director (Mr David)and asked him to tell us the type of transmission fluid they are selling as HOLTS. The man told me that I should consider it as Dexron 11. Currently, Holts has upgraded itself to Dexron 111 and it is sold for N540 per litre. TOTAL fluide 11D is dexron ii and not suitable for electronically controlled transmissions and a liter of that ATF is sold for N1160 and that ATF is packaged by LANRE BADMUS. I kept on asking myself, why should HOLTS Dexron 111 made and packaged by Lanre Badmus be cheaper that TOTAL fluide 11d packaged by the same Lanre Badmus? Before Texaco sold its business to MRS, their ATF was the best in the country, that is the only Dexron iii sold in the open market. A litre was sold for N2500. Now, the best ATF currently produced by our oil marketers is Mobil ATF. That is Dexron 11E, entry level for all electronically controlled transmission. Most people that imports all these ATFs claimed that no one is willing to pay N5000 a litre for ATF and so they bring in any cheap ATF to suit the market forces.You can check this website, crossoil.com for more information about our dexron iii GARD ATF.

Thank you for the info you have freely shared with us. What kind of engine oil is best suited for 1999 Suzuki vitara (2 door 4x4), and what std is best? I also would like to know if its the same std for its 4x4 gear. Thanks
Re: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by sooperrescue(m): 11:28pm On Mar 29, 2013
You can use any of the lubricants in the market but I recommend TOTAL Q7000. There are different gear oils but use TOTAL EP 90 and you will get good results.
