There is an American law that requires that a manufacturer cannot lock you in with his parts, that is why we have OEM and aftermarket parts, provided it meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications, you are good to go

Ok clear....

Jazzlite:

Not really true. For example.... Certain plugs are recommended for Mercedes Benz engines... But some are not suitable for the kind of fuel we have here....

dts interesting. so wat if d owner gets a different plug? will it spell doom for d engine?

Jazzlite:


Even when not recommended for your vehicle?

Who says . Have got a bosch catalogue for perfect fit

True story

When it was obvious i needed a vehicle to move from point A to B, I bought a toyota corona/avensis, car came with 2.0 3SFE engine. Kazeem spoilt it while changing head gasket so i have less to lose. so while racing on kd road, i killed the engine racing a more powerful car than mine.

Sourced for a good 3SFE but couldnt get a direct one for that year.. Had to be more adventurous, i installed a 5SFE with a 5S ECU. I took my time to match the wiring harness of a 3S to a 5S engine and ECU

New engine runs poorly, low Mile per gallon due to defective MAP sensor and sludge in the engine. Change the MAP sensor.

To clean the sludge, I bought 2 liter of KEROSENE removed 1ltr of engine oil from the engine.

Poured the kerosene in the engine and run it for 10min.

Removed the whole oil and changed the filter. put in new oil and new filter, Then for safety reason to avoid leaking seals due to kerosene (from childhood i know the effect of kerosene on rubber) i put some oil treatment.

Bought new PCv (positive crank case ventilator/valve and installed) To help vent the crankcase and prevent sludge buildup.


Engine runs fine, smooth and its fuel efficient. I get close to 700km on a single tank of fuel right now.

bro what oil treatment did you put?

bro what oil treatment did you put?

I don't use oil treatment, i change my oil very often
