I drive everyday. I was advised to change it after every 6 weeks. The problem is spending such money on servicing is not funny.

Every 6 week is not a professional advise bro... Mileage is the best practice.

My ladt service was October 1st, 2021 I just hit 8000 miles yesterday. By month end I'll be preparing to change the oil again.

It's definitely true bro, base fare of any trip, irregardless of distance is 600, bit add the said 5% commission its suppose to give you a total of atleast 635, but its a lie, the minimum trip still remains 600. The driver bears the 5% cost eventually.

Are you not aware or u just choose to just be ignorant of the fact that prices are rounded up to d nearest 100? So if u do a trip that's 640 it's 600 that will be displayed and if u do a trip that's 650 it's 700 that will be displayed as fare. This applies to every other hundredth fare that is displayed.
However u want to twist it, my advise for u and every other person using this minimum fare as example is don't do short trips of 600 so that bolt will not charge u 25% and u have peace.
Hopefully this settles this issue till further notice.

I dey tell you.
I come dey think whether car speedometers and speed vary... grin [b]abi 2 cars fit dey go at parallel pace, make one dey read 140km/h and the other 60kmh? [/b]Based on say one na Benz and the other na corolla?

Speaking about finishing speedometers, I have finished the speedometer of a Chevrolet Express cargo van on 3rd mainland. Next was a Toyota Matrix, Lagos - Ugep in Cross Rivers state, was on a road trip with a friend.

Truth is, if you love to drive (in well lit areas and smooth roads) late nights and early mornings, especially on weekends (Saturday and Sunday early mornings), you would love speed and may master it.

Yes sir, very possible sir...

Cars made of different brands might vary.

Mind you EU is different from America or Asia

Also, due to mechanical fault your rpm can also make these things differ.

You get?

It do varies sometimes. Inaccurate speedometer reading is very common here since we are fond of changing the size of our tyres to bigger tyres. It affects speedometer reading

Bro pearl1910 will not agree until he sees pictorial proofs, I ve seen two from my earnings but I don’t have strength now.
After calculating distance(km), time and paid waiting + 20 naira service fee... Abeg where did they add 3% ?

According to our uche we will continue to avoid 600 trips so as not to feel pained when bolt takes 25% grin

This is very impossible sir, with your claim of not going above 120km/h, you can't cover a bridge of 11.6km in 5mins even if you're left alone on the bridge .

My car has a Max speed of 160... I guess now you believe me when I said I'd not done 120 yet... Just a few times I'd seen the meter reading hit 100 and at this time the Uber app will be reading 140km+ in bold red color na that time my eyes dey go my speedometer to see what's going on.

Talking about fuel bros... You actually can't relate... Dont worry I've a bad oxygen sensor and air flow meter hoping to get it fix by month end during my next oil change.

I will gladly rent my car to you for a week so you see how fuel efficient the car is.

What else do I need for a car that does 14km/L? How much fuel will ur lapka lapka Corolla do for that distance?

Bros I still went to convenant twice last week I spent just 2500-3k for fuel to and fro with full ac... My O2 and MAF bad oooh... How much will a corolla spend?

Nooo 8000 miles ke for a semi-synthetic motor oil? No na bros... 4000miles should be fine or you can stretch to 5000 depending on the quality of filter you use.

Make sure to get a good grade.

Your owner manual should tell if it's semi-synthetic or full synthetic. I think that's where you're confuse so search online to find out if its synthetic or just ordinary that is recommended then make sure u get a genuine product and I believe being consistent with a particular product is good instead of changing from one product every other time this can make one engine even smoke at times.

I used Mobil1 for my first service but now I'm planning on changing to liqiud Molly.

The last I checked mobil1 is now sold for 27k and I'll be needing 10ltrs plus filter 5k... Can't cough out such money like thatgrin my budget is 45k and liquid Molly accommodates that but if I get any other cheaper product b4 month end why not? Provided I'll be getting it constantly...

Check NorthWest I think their full synthetic oil is 12k but I dont have review about the product that's my fear so I just want to stick with the popular brands

Go with total full synthetic its affordable and always available. I think it's about 14k for 4L then make sure you get a good grade filter.

6000 mile should be fine

At 180, yes its possible but 120 km according to feli, it's impossible, this is simple maths.
