if it is about cars and maintenance then I really don't understand why the excess digressions here and there....
the topic alone is misleading if the purpose is car maintenance..... ur topic feels and looks like ** steps or perfected steps in ringing an engine.

you started with the buying of expensive parts so the reader starts having thinking.... OK ringing a vehicle with oem parts from "the states"; OK.

you digressed to how ringing an engine is only a temporary and short lived solution to a bad engine and even buying a tokunbo engine is not also advisable and we should sell cars when they short oil...... negates the purpose of the first!

you then digressed significantly to mileage and expiration mileage of cars.

then u digressed to your main purpose even though u didnt want to be truthful and elaborate.
...... AFS oils..................
then u ended with "rebuilt" don't last forever.... and I am SMH.....

what is the true purpose of this thread.... if it is about cars maintenance then let it be about just that and digressions; which should be minimal, should be related and not in pure contrast..... if u used oem parts from the states and ur mechanic was praising u upandan then y should the vehicle only have 8 months in it or thereabout? even common sense will not entertain such thoughts..... talk more of critical reasoning!

I had to call u out because the rate at which u post these ur kaya is becoming alarming, caution urself as someone from the states, justify that certificate BRO ..... we shouldn't be bashing u, we should be advising u to help u and those around u.

OK how much is your oil, lemme see if I will recommend someone to buy, so u can rest small

Yes I agree my point was all over the place ..your point is well noted.... The point is not how the message is delivered.. The point is did you get the message "

ironheart:
i did bro. Lets allow everyone have there say. In every rubbish, there is a message. There are people out there with Elantra. He can be a case study to them. With the way he is being grammar shamed. He may not update the thread in future. Most of us including i for one. Translate our mother tongue to English word for word

HeavenlyBang:
Tbh, this thread is pointless. I came here expecting a technical breakdown of the ringing process--with pictures, and regular updates about the aftermath.

OP delivered something entirely different and irrelevant.

he bought expensive parts that would be extremely difficult sourcing locally, only to fix the vehicle and it will last say...... less than a year....

let us forgive him for the topic oh.
...

what of the purpose..... at least someone at the goal post and not the assistant ref or coach!

BRO don't worry... I am sure u saw a hint of the intent in the whole crap.... let us forgive him and teach him....

at least Aunty radu and Gazuzz won't have to fear his monikers on their threads again.

hahahahahahaha...... shamed ke.... dru?

u don't know him....

reason oga reason and purpose..... we can always reconstruct the English in our head.... but purpose? I'm yet to see it.....

And I want u to read it again! There is no message here! I'm still waiting on Gazuzz to comment.... and like I said,


I will park!

his intent is to advertise AFS and it's usefulness in the lifespan of a vehicle.... but this is not the case.... and I am sure of his intent too


100%

After his experience today, if he sees another thread worth derailing, he will run away!

unfortunately Gazuzz wouldn't be gracing us with his presence on this thread..... he doesnt want u to return the favour. heck, he is even vexed at his numerous mentions on this ur thread.

HeavenlyBang:


Lol, I always knew where it was going to end. Hence this.

Probably would have gotten past coolants and entered a full-blown sermon on oils if you hadn't interjected.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks, I suppose.

I do understand your point that you coming from. The reason why you can' t see my point is for many reasons. You mind is already made up that am trying to sell engine oil . So because of that the spider webs are blocking your eyes from the message am trying to get across..
Now you are waiting for another mans to give his comments.. Because the said man is the best thing since slice bread.. Why do we need another mans approval to validate our points. Be a man bro and stand on your own two..

dru23:

Oh boy I didn't have to take any English test o ... no need to explain further... somethings should be left unsaid ...no need to give my life history on nairaland..

obekediamondfuto:


on the contrary, I am waiting for him to come and shun me.... if what I'm doing is not in line as that was the reason he was called na..... I will jejely park my bus. but ....... we know na.

that's the difference between u and most people....
they give authority to whom it is due.... Gazuzz is an authority in this field... a renowned one at least in nairaland...
when issues; that he is an authority in, demands his presence or intervention, people like me who are aspiring to get to that level...... we keep shut and research to ascertain the validity and even if he is wrong beyond reasonable doubts.... we politely ask him to check the site we gathered such Intel....

when it comes to my field I will also school him indepth..... this is his field and obviously u have refused to accept this... so many other guys talk and I must listen..... cos it's their trade and/or specialty... except there is a strong distortion somewhere before u can contest with them..... even then u, u have to have concrete facts and figures and not mere speculation and or assumptions.

capiche?

obekediamondfuto:


then u Don eff up be that na..... .
I already know sha...

post ur oil now oh... I'll soon leave ur thread oh...

This has been a very expensive week for me ..... Most of the parts that I bought were very much needed for the "ringing". Of 07 elantra engine, such parts has rings, pistons, seals ,timing engine and alternator belt. The timing belt and alternator belt were not really needed.. But through research those belts do have a life span, so it is better to change them now than later.

So when these items were given to the mechanic, he was highly impressed.. He stated that those items I bought were original parts ,and that it will hard to get them in Ladipo .after taken down the engine apart, you can tell that the pistons will need to replace, the 16valves that looks like a huge needle, will be properly wash with soap and water or kersone . So no need to replace them. The only items the mechanic needed was gaskets and some minor things that cost 10k naira
I spoke to the mechanic on the coz of the oil shortage, he stated that the rings were worn out ,and also poor maintenance and bad oil will coz the oil to short.. He stated that even after rebuilt ,the car can last up to eight months. This will depend on how the car is taken care of after the " ringing" . We both concluded that once it gets to the point you are ringing engine it is time to sell the car or buy new engine. But the point here is even if you buy tokunbo engine, you don't really know the exact milage that engine has done. You taking a gamble here.
The cost of ringing the engine is 50k and the cost of the parts that I bought is about $200 . Now once the ringing is done ,the car has to driven slowly for two days ,so that the new parts can adjust properly..

MY LESSON LEARNED... Now from this experience, what I learn is that a lot of people on uber thread have no clue on car maintenance. If you have a car and you continue to rebuilt the engine, you are wasting your time.. Sell the car and move on even if you are using the car for uber. Most of the tokunbo cars that are been sold all over at least 100k miles... so with proper care, which of coz it will not happen in Nigeria. Those cars should last a good three years.. The reason is that a car engine has roughly about 300k miles life span ,if it is taken care of Anything after that, you start to rebuilt engine and waste money . With good oil change coolant etc you can push it up few more years or miles. My experience with elantra has also been very good. Those cars are rugged and are has good has a corolla. I will reccomend elantra 07 to 10 to anyone with confidence.. Just make sure you use proper oil ,coolant etc ..now the importance of full synthetic oil for these cars ,is due to high milage.. Most of the cars on uber are high milage cars . The only wish I had knew was to have taken care of the car from day one. Now am spending 100k to fix it . At the same time the car really tried .the milage on that car is 194k miles and I bought it
tokunbo when the car was 147k miles .. At that high milage timing belt and alternator belt will need to changed... so people out there take care of your cars. So that you can avoid bleeding your wallet red .if you like continue to rebuilt engine ,the engine is 90k and body of car is 200k plus.. The engine is new, but the body is old smh ...rebuilt don't last forever.. This is my hands on experience... #team elantra for uber # I have a new level of respect for the car . Thank
