I like this your Volvo, what model is it. German cars are very strong.

So basically let us say you change oil every 3months. Meaning you change oil 4times a year....Let us break down your spending for the year......

Mobil xhp 8500k = 34k for the year
Oil change labour 2k = 8k for the year
Oil filter 2k naira. = 8k for the year

So your total spending on oil changes for the is 50k naira.... This is rough estimates, it should be more ..
My point here is that you can save yourself money and time ......

Now the reason why your engine looks clean is that you don't drive that much . I really doubt 20w50 is the recommended oil for your car . now for you to really damage your engine with 20w50 . You have to drive the car long enough ..

All those short trips here and there will not really damage anything regardless how frequent you change ur oil .... I don't want to go into any further details to avoid unnecessary back and fourth .........

Genius! You really sabi this job!!

May God elevate you beyond your imagination! How I wish you are in Lagos!!!

Flood damages car like mad... am a bolt driver in benin most times you have no option than to pass through some floods... I noticed most cars in benin smoke like mad... my compressor already damaged the engineer is asking me to bring 40k for compressor and 20k for condenser I just taya... I never add workmanship... and I want to ask o what’s mileage do I need to do an oil change to keep engine smooth.

SonofGod231:

With the way you are going about this...You go sabi bill person ooo.
I don dey pity the guy wey get this car

justdream:


That's the drift. It might just be something minor. My Accord doesnt accelerate well from idle, and then i hear some funny sounds when its trying to change gears. I don jus taya as i dey laidis. Wish i could do a lil of what you did to yours.

shambala:
I can share mechanics contact with you

Do the analysis for Mobil full synthetic.

Hope you know it's advisable to change full synthetic oil after six months whether you reached 5k miles or not?

So let's say I do oil change two times in a year with full synthetic oil, I'd be looking at around 70k naira for the oil alone in one year.

I have not added filter and service charge.

Also, your claim that my engine is clean because I do short trips is false.

If anything, short trips are more detrimental to an engine and should cause more harm and sludge even.

Highway driving doesn't negatively affect engine more.


You have only shown that you are ignorant and only want to sell your synthetic oil.

I'm not de-campaigning synthetic oil. They are great.

But saying that normal mineral oil will damage engine with regular changes is false and fear mongering just to sell your products.

Lavisha:


Yeah, you're right but not all damage gets to the Cyl Block. Meanwhile all cos those technicians are not thorough breed, they'll tell you to change engine.
If you insist on replacing the affected parts, then they'll change story to "It won't last more than 3 months" oga just change the engine.

All na wash, Dem no sabi work.

What I discovered from my Mech during the repair was; he took his time (2 days) to do physical observations on the engine.
After all the checks, he called me to see for myself, he showed me the engine parts and their conditions.

He said I only need to buy an Original follow come "Tokumbo" rings and Con. Rod cos new parts will cause problems after some time.

And that's where many mech got it wrong, they'll purchase a China made brand new engine parts which will later cause more problems.

I'm not saying other mechs ain't good in their ways but
when it comes to fixing engines/gearbox na there you go know say Kazeem and Taju no be mate..

It's all about experience.

seanfer:


He's price is not high at all... He is the one that fix my car here in PH... He is such a nice person... He will even call afer working on your car to know if you're not having any issue... And if he can't do something he will not lie to you... He's in NTA/Ozuoba road in PH

No need for name calling ... Not to sound disrespectful at all. Looking at your engine bay of your car . The car looks like it is meant to get you from point A to B . so less attention to detail will be apply. We all have cars like that in too. But if it was dream car more attention will be place on detail...... So I get you ....

You stated it is advisable to change full synthetic every 6months.
That is false statement........depending on your driving condition or owners manual .. Full synthetic should be change every 3months or every 7k miles. Whichever comes first...it is not good for Oil to be sitting too long in the engine.

So pretty much you are aware I do uber. And I have few cars on uber platform.
We can agree that an uber clocks at least 2k miles a months.. And also the most commonly used oil among uber drivers is Mobil xhp 20w50 conventional oil. So we going to use me as case study.....

My oil of choice is super Tech Advance 20k miles oil change.... We going to break down the cost of oil every 10k miles ....

Super Tech Advance = 22500k
Fram oil Filter 15k miles change= 7k naira
Labour For oil Change = 3k

Due to wear and tear of driving on uber. I change my oil every 10k miles . I don't go the full 20k miles on advance super tech .


So every 10k miles or 3months ... I spent 32500k
Since my filters are high grade and good for 15kbmiles oil change. I only change once every 10k miles....Labour cost is just once every 10k miles.....

Super Tech every 10k miles.. 32500k


Your cost break down every 10k miles using Mobil xhp 20w50 ........

8500k by 3= 25500k
Oil filter 2k naira by = 6k
Labour for Oil change 3k naira per oil change = 9k

For every 10k miles oil change you do . you spend 40500k naira ............

By using fully synthetic oil like I do .. You can save urself 8k naira per every 10k miles.........


For my personal cars .. If am using Super Tech Advance for 20k miles.. I will use the same method and change oil every 10k miles......

So please continue using 20w50 for your car. Once you get a nice tokunbo car . you can give me a Buzz.

cdoffx:


What type of sound and where do you suspect it's coming from. It might be that there is allowance in the tripod inside the inner shaft cup or so. It could also be that a mount(engine or gear) or two has broken. Everyone of this I have experienced with my previous Honda's which cause funny sound when the gear is changing.

wallrichy:
That's my area too. NTA Rd, Mgbuoba precisely. Please can I have his detail though I ain't around presently but tell him to send an intro thru Whatshapp to this number.....0808 395 4821..... Thanks

Yes Na water. Hydrolic can crush ah car so isa water. Water does not compress so is either tha engine blow or tha rod bend

You don't know how engine and pressure works

Grupo:


Lol.

My car is a 2007 Toyota corolla sport. May not be a "dream car" but it drives with no issues. Current price is around 2.7 million.

As for My engine bay. Leave it that way. I don't like allowing car wash people to wash it. Because those people can be careless.

Your write up above is incoherent. So I couldn't pick out many things.

So. No thanks.

Love to see Auto shops analyze faults this way.

Keep it up man.

Got annex in Lagos?

Lavisha:


Sometimes in February my Honda Accord DC overheated, cos Kazeem removed the thermostat and tampered with the engine fan wiring: the rings fried, a connecting rod bent and some bearings damaged.
Most Mechs told me to change engine including our own Gazzuz.
Buh thank goodness, an Engineer from my workplace fixed it.
I bought a premium ring pair and a connecting rod and volla!

My Honda is driving better than before, some mech told me it will go bad after 3 months, it's October already and the car is giving me joy.

I typed all this cos the guy that fixed it told me the same thing you said "All engines can be fixed"

He said he's ringed a countless vehicles that runs good after six years.
Instead of spending 200k on engine, I spent 25k only on everything including workmanship.

I am a Dangote Transport staff and we've got some exceptional technicians.

I drove through flood few weeks ago and since then my transmission is slipping out of gear, sometimes jerks when trying to change gear, delays before engaging and sometimes doesn't engage at all.
