Bottom line, better to buy the premix.... Nobody has the time to be mixing up and down... this is what I will do ... I have a hard time drinking Nigerian bottle water, or table water has they call it ... even if they sell distilled water in Nigeria, I would not use for any mix of coolant... if the young man wants to be a science student and make is own distilled water... he should go ahead and do it ...me personally I won't do it ...even in Yankee here ,I wouldn't make my own distilled water ... I will go to the store and buy ....

For me better safe than sorry....

radautoworks:


You know what to do Sacramento1212

dru23:


Hey , he is grown man let him decide... this is not a do or die affair

dru23:


To mix coolant or not to mix coolant ...To be on the safe side ,I will empty out or flush out old coolant.. Regardless if the old coolant matches with the fresh one .

What's the matter? Is it annoying that your thread is being derailed by others selling stuff?

Well, i previously stated that it will be cost effective for me to procure the concentrate from radautoworks and mix with distilled water since i know the procedure to get this. Mixing isn't rocket science and i wouldn't have considered this method if the concentrate isn't available. So it isn't a big deal.

dru23:


Sure bro... .. At least you have options. ..if check my price and if it makes sense you buy ..and if not you go else were ..customers loyalty is Base on affordability and price ....

sacramento1212:


But will contact you for the 5w30 extended performance oil.

dru23:


No shaking oil full ground.....

sacramento1212:

The car avalon 2000 is at the mechanic now, going through change of top gasket, what coolant will you recommend?

dru23:


Baby girl ...we have different market and audience.. My job here is for people to be smart with their money.. Certain things that you sell are expensive, at the same time certain things I sell are cheaper than yours.. If I don't have an item ,I point them to your direction.. The smarts one will shop smart, for example my car was brought to your workshop.. Carquest mechanic drove the car, scan it ..and printed out a bill of 175k
I look at the stuff, I said you know what I can buy most of these items on eBay spark plugs ,shocks, linkage, etc my total cost $300.00 ..which am about to ship soon ...my point is to help people save money.. So it is win win situation for everybody. But what you don't understand by you derailing my thread you are bringing more traffic to my thread.. So far my coolant thread has over 900 views .... Partly thanks to you

You mean like this? All coolants in stock.

You may be using your vehicle like a wandering vagabond but that doesn't mean we all share your misfortune.

It's utmost folly to hope to change coolants every year when you're not a Lagos Danfo driver. Or, maybe Danfo drivers are your intended clients.

Make logical arguments to support your sale, not ignorant guesses and conjectures.

sacramento1212:


Do you have Fram or anyone similar to it?

sacramento1212:


Since Fram isn't available, how about the K&N premium? What's the cost?

radautoworks:


Come to think of it, why are you on Car talk offering car advice when you obviously don't take care of your vehicle??

Am I missing something Gazzuzz, thebigkendo, TheCar, EgunMogaji obekediamondfuto. Do any of your cars ever need so much at once?

EgunMogaji:


Another thing I'll be picking up when I come in. Are you open Saturdays? Please say yes.

EgunMogaji:


Most Nigerians don't take care of thier vehicles, they only wait till it doesn't move anymore.

I sent my driver to change oil and he looked at it and said "Oga, it doesn't need to be changed, it's not too black yet"

Preventative maintenance is not in their dictionary.

EgunMogaji:


Please don't use Fram or Castrol.

EgunMogaji:


Now you're talking. K&N is the way to go.

EgunMogaji:


Please don't use Fram or Castrol.

THANK YOU. when I say it, it comes across like I'm hating.

sacramento1212:




Wow! Fram isn't good? The K&N is very expensive boss but i guess it's a good filter though

EgunMogaji:


One of the inbuilt advantages that RadAuto has is that they not only sell part but they also run a repair shop. SO you can rest assured that they sell parts based on lessons learned form the shop.

And most importantly of all, they represent one of Americas premier auto sales outlet. There are significant requirements here they would have won a franchise.

But most of this if not all will be lost on average Nigerians who are used to buying from Okonkwo at Alaba. But some of us, like you, get it.

PS: I'm using Madam as a test case. Her being her sis the best thing that has happened to me business wise since I started planning my retirement to Nigeria. I think I'll just enjoy my retirement, travel all over the world checking things off my bucket list than to open an auto shop in Nigeria.
