Honda recommended engine oil is 5w20 but depending on the age of your engine, you could use slightly thicker 5w30.

For your transmission, recommended ATF is Honda ATF-Z1 but this has been replaced with the newer Honda DW-1

However, if your transmission is a CVT, then recommended oil is Honda HMMF or HCF-2

You need about 3litres for drain and refill. But if the transmission is to be brought down, you'd need about 6litres. This is because some oil remain in the torque converter.

Another safe strategy is to refill back with exact quantity drained out. But this is if you didn't have any leakages

The colour should be pinkish-red... as shown in the picture attached. Honda has phased out the ATF-Z1 and replaced it with the Honda DW-1.

Limp mode means there's a problem somewhere and you should drive immediately to your technician. Have the car scanned to know why.

Harbewilliams:
Uber is one business that is worth investing in if you’d like to earn ₦120,000 monthly on a ₦1,500,000 investment. The 2 most important factors to succeed in the business are getting a practical car that is in good working condition. As well as getting a good and trustworthy driver.

E-hailing companies accepts 2003 and above four door cars. However, buying a 2003-2006 model is better so the car can repay itself on time whilst having a life span of 3 to 4 years on the platform before they yank if off.

When choosing the most practical car to use, you have to consider the following factors: Purchase cost, fuel economy, good air conditioner, reliability, maintenance cost, life span, resale value etc..

Despite how lucrative the business is, I noticed several cars have been pulling out of the Uber business due to accidents, reliability issues, fuel consumption especially vehicles with 6 cylinder engines etc.

I want to talk about investment and return on investment (ROI) in the context of E-hailing business (uber, taxify, oga taxi)
So I was researching fixed deposit rates, not to invest but to get a comparison between that and an investment in Uber.

The best rate I was able to get was 3% on a 30 day fix, that is, if you left your money with the bank for 30 days, they would give you an appreciation on your capital of 3%. So I though, let's choose a nominal figure for the sake of this post, a figure of say #1,500,000.

If you fix #1,500,000 naira on a percentage of 3%, at the end of the term, you make a profit (or interest) of 50,000 naira. A whooping sum of #12,500 per week. I believe there is also a service charge, though negligible, it will affect your bottom line.

Now let us look at an equivalent investment on Uber,
Now that e-hailing companies is accepting year 2003 cars and newer.
Let's say you invest in Uber with #1,500,000.
You are guaranteed returns of #120,000/130, 000 per month
, #30,000/32, 500 per week.



From my layman calculation that is about 8% compared to fixed deposits' 3%.

Quite a difference when the capital we speak of is #1,500,000 .

Now, I think you may speak of risk. Fixed deposits are essentially risk free, while Uber carries certain risks; accident, theft, fire etc., but that is where insurance comes in. For about #50,000 naira you can negate all risks, for up to 1 year. Over the course of a year, that is 4000 every month. Risk averted.
If we were to deduct interest from risk premium (insurance) we get a profit of 116,000 per month, still much higher than fixed deposit.

One legitimate concern of course is, what happens to mechanic costs when you have to fix the car (this is a variable and highly dependent on other factors, also it is unpredictable so I won't calculate that here), if you get a good vehicle, you don't have to worry about mechanic costs, I have been driving my car on Uber for 3 months and haven't had cause to visit a mechanic, so it's been all profit for me.

So how do you get a good car? Leave that to us, we can help you source for well-maintained vehicles from reputable car dealerships.
As fleet managers, we can help you purchase sound vehicles for your investment.

It is worthy to mention that no investment vehicle (no pun intended) is devoid of risk, fixed deposits are affected by inflation while Uber vehicles are affected by depreciation.

I think any investment that out performs the local fixed deposit rates is a good investment. Think about it.

True, the Nigerian stations don't have the 0w20 because these are American oils. We have these in stock.

Am surprised you have Dexron written on the dipstick because even older models of your car has Type T-IV written on their dipstick.

You are right about the brake fluid.

We use the Mercon V for the power steering


Please can you supply mobil 1 0w - 20

I've gotten it. Will DIY on Saturday..
A quick question.. Should the transmission fluid be drained when hot or cold? And conversely..can the transmission fluid be poured into a hot or cold gearbox?
