Boss, I want to change my Honda Accord 2007 gear oil cos it's brownish and it's drying up (not up to gauge)
I got to a shop and I found out there are two types.
the fake N3,500 and original N18,000 respectively.
The cheaper is cool for me considering the economy but I'm afraid it may damage my gear.

Please write back sir.

I will supply original @ 17,850 cheesy
Fake will kill your gear in 1week cheesy

I spend huge resources acquiring knowledge, I burn midnight candles doing same, sacrificed my joy, my fun, my health and my friends acquiring same knowledge, anyone who wishes to tap from such knowledge should pay for it. It ain't free no more. I can't freely give it and then it will be abused.
you are no longer different from the ikenna Peugeot you criticised.

How I missed this thread I don’t know. For sure it’s not because I never Kazeemize. In fact the true definition of an Autoist like me is the ability to get home with the vehicle at all cost.

I have many to share once I load my USA hard drive but allow me to just drop this gem.

I removed a bad factory Subaru side draft carburator and replaced it with a Peugeot downdraft carburator. This worked but ended up being too tall and stuck out into the trunk. So I improvised a cover.

Well, in keeping with title of thread...

...I discovered it was safer (and cheaper) for me to pay a "vulcaniser" to clean the engine/ radiator/ condenser + air filter than to pressure wash.

My own kazeemy stuff...
I have never changed the washers on my oil or transmission drain plugs. None of them has leaked since this prolonged history of reuse...

So after years of this practice, I finally picked up a pack of oil drain plug washers. Got it just before the lockdown ish...

Fantabulous wise one. Ensure the pedal rests before switch is activated.

And undue depression will cause brake binding .
