Kindly, recommend the right engine oil, ATF, brake oil, power steering oil.

I would also like to know if you can recommend an A/C expert in Ibadan. Other contributions of gurus in the house are welcome.

Good day Gazzuz, I am still expecting a reply to my query, I previously asked you the question on the other thread " when it's time to return to factory specs" you asked me to ask the question on this thread which I did.

Also, I would like to know how to test if an IACV is working at the point of sale? cos I got one from ladipo, put it in my vehicle, but the problem still persists....

Also, how do one test a tokunbo knock sensor to know if it's okay at d point of sale?

Thanks

IAVC, has an electronic motor and a mechanical valve. Testing the IACV is possible, but if you are able to understand it, you would not be on this thread.

The knock sensor produces A.C voltage when it vibrates, tap repeatedly and see if you can generate about 5v a.c, again if you can do this, you will not be on this thread.

Car maintenance needs to be monitored very well. I ran my car and my air conditioner broke in it, so it became a big problem for me. I had to order new parts from another country, wait for their arrival, and there were problems at customs, I even had to contact https://clearitusa.com/ for help filling out the documents. Now I concluded that I will send the car to the service more often.

@costee please I need your input on the G35 automatic to manual conversion, I want to know of it's possible or I should just go in search of a manual

Such mods are needless; might as well get yourself an M/T. And talking about M/T, that power train is certainly moribund. Even the conventional A/T is itself ultimately going to be taken over by CVT. The G35 is, ipso facto, a power driver, A/T or M/T.
