I can't use any of these oils on any range rover brand. They are not even good for Toyota brand except liqui Molly

theadeola:
12mpg? I am not a fuel consumption freak but gademn, that is hilariously low. I'm assuming that 12mpg is even without using the AC.

AinzOoalGown:
Hope you get it fixed.


Quick question, OP sorry to deviate a bit, good car to buy, this 08 MDX?.

Nnamdipapa:
Ok, today I was out to do an oil change and decided to branch by my favorite Afghani store where I usually buy provisions when in the vicinity. Now, I came across an organic crate of egg for $16.99, 30 medium sized eggs in a crate.
Now, I remembered I spoke with a friend in Lagos last week who priced a similar crate of egg at 6000Naira, Yes ! you heard me right! 6000Naira! Folks in Nigeria do not know how good they have it Living in Nigeria so next time you complain about Nigeria, remember a fresh organic crate of egg goes for N6000 and things are way cheaper in Nigeria compared to the western countries.

So, there is something that should make one happy living in Nigeria
I am waiting on pins and needles for the minimum wage crew.

KabirHakeem:
Lagos, yes, the vibration increased with much noise, I have parked it, not to be driven until it is fixed. It has been pickedup and I have been told that two of the engine seats are faulty. I will know for sure by tomorrow.

KabirHakeem:
Cracking noise from the exhaust. Fixed twice by a panel beater, nothing changed, mechanic checked and said he adjusted the propeller to prevent it from touching other metals. The noise went away but now the car is vibrating seriously with noise when accelerating. The steering, seats, even car charger are vibrating loudly.

No disturb me.

Chilipepper:
A Nigerian man has shared an eye-opening experience about just how much local auto dealers mark up car prices.

According to him, his friend recently bought an SUV that usually goes for ₦55–₦60 million in the Nigerian market. But instead of paying that, he decided to handle everything himself — buying abroad, shipping, and clearing the car.

When it finally landed at his doorstep, the total cost was about ₦43 million.

He couldn’t help but ask:

“Dear Nigerian auto dealers, why is the mark up that huge? I’m genuinely curious.”

From all the comments I have read up there, I realize most of you are cowards and it will be very foolish for anyone to put himself in front for you guys, with people like this, this country is going nowhere. It will be like this for the next 50 years. Haba, and the sad thing is most comments are from the so called educated youths from the southern part of the country, while the northerners that you people claim are not so “educated “ will never allow their rights to be infringed upon without fighting back, especially when there is a law like this to back them. Shame on you all educated people.
VIO in Abuja no longer randomly stop cars, they have apps that they use to check if your papers have expired, and is only then they stop you. This was made possible by a court ruling.

One wanted to ask me for papers, I told him to use the VIO app to check my number plates, if him no get, make him commot for road, he just walked away. Try to update yourself.

Sellfish:
"Lawful Justification" they said


Good luck with anyone else relying on that judgement ...before Dem go determine what is or isn't "lawful Justification", you fit don rest for Kuje prison like 3 months


If these law officers can't find anything to pin on you, they can just seize both you and the vehicle on suspicions of terrorism and hand you over to DSS for "further investigation"


Best practice when dealing with these people is to be courteous, show them what papers they ask, and give them even if na two hundred naira when they ask for "anything for the bois"

The Court won't be there to help you if they decide to waste your time with trumped up allegations ...before your lawyer go file case to enforce your right, irreparable damage may have been done to you..

Nigeria is far too rotten for anyone to gamble with his life in the name of "enforcing his human right"...

dru23:
baba I don't know what you smoke or snort before making such statements...........

Any Nigeria car that is still running over 250k miles with bad road and bad maintenance culture,no be car it is a coffin ⚰️......

Even in the USA nobody keeps a car up to 250k miles. So that your car that has 250k miles on it no be car my brother.... That car should be over 20yrs old hustle hard so that you don't have to explain to junior why daddy is driving a 2000 model car

Hustle hard my brother. A grown man like should not make such statements



You still dey learn work for were I dey bros. I go teach you well well. Just humble your self. Last last you go dey alright


Ps . Under your profile it says you sell cars.. you will not make heaven o. Bad market.

dru23:
car owners should avoid you as much as possible.. This is why I don't buy naija used cars


Fake engine oil will either dry up faster or prone to sludged... You either pay for your ignorance now or later.. either way someone is paying......

minista94:
Not 20k mileage but 10k, but don't always wait to hit the 10k mileage, some change at 8k while some at 5k

minista94:
It's better you buy the original one, it's once a year than buying the 25k own every 3 months and risk your engine

Greetings my people.
I have been using mobil 1, 5w-30 (the cheaper one sold at 27k) on my Toyota corolla, but recently when a mechanic opened my engine, I noticed that debris were forming.

I am skeptical of continued usage. Someone recommended mobil 2000 5w-30 for me as a substitute.

What do you guys think? Is it better than this generic mobil 1, or can you recommend a better one with minimum market fakes for me?

Thank you as I will be expecting your expert recommendations. God bless

Dear Friends

I imported a 2014 Toyota Camry SE edition sometime in December 2024. Every thing was going on well till i discovered the car is shorting oil and had to top up.

My mechanic scanned the vehicle and suggested we change the PCV Valve(Positive Crankcase ventilation Valve). The PCV valve has been changed and still i am experiencing the oil Shutting.

Mind you we have checked for Oil leakages every where and couldn't find any, and the Engine is not smoking.

I will appreciate any suggestions here to troubleshoot this. I am scared of having further encounter with a mechanic so that things dont get worse

To those who wanna convert ac to manual. There is no difference in manual and auto,same volts,just that the clutch is the only ish,so ud need a thermostat to be installed,so that the ac compressor cuts and picks intermittently like auto.
It can work for 3 years b4 e spoil. It doesn't have any effect on v6 engines from 3.0 engine size liter.
The downsides is..it would consume some amount of fuel,like a liter or two difference. Your battery lifespan might not exceed 2 to 3 years cos the fan is bypassed to blow direct,whether ac or not.if ypur car is more than 12 to 15 years from manufacturing date,pls don't revert back,if u do. I'd experience problems with overheating,gasket burn,gasket change.end of engine....

If your cars engine is from 1.8l till 2.4 liter ..pls avoid manual compressor. When u turn it on,it would drag your rpm to below 1000 ,and if u brake on a speed bulb,ypur rpm would drop drastically to 350 to 500 rpm and engine would stall. It would cause wear of pulleys,timing belts,chains,vibration, excess fuel gulping and kill the car battery within a year.

Automatic compressor is best,but hardly survives nigeria environment due to dust,dirt,sand,fake gas.... so within 8 to 10 months, the follow come ac would pack up,knock ,get burnt and spoil. Automatic ac doesn't tolerate any form of dirt,a pinch of dirt,say bye bye to the compressor....
V6 engines from 3.0 liter would chest any manual compressor,if your engine is the high rev engine that starts from 1000rpm at idle,pls go for it.

Don't say I did not warn u.

Iceking1:
I have not been able to solve the problem, I changed the oxygen sensor two days ago as advised, I changed tyre's too but yet no changes. I'm really so devastated, I just can't think straight anymore.

immortalcrown:
Is the good Samaritan willing to give the hospital his identity in case no one else shows up for the accident victim?

Nigerian database is too poor to support hospitals treating accident victims in certain situations. Many of you might claim that I am heartless. But isn't the nurse also a human? What if the victim fails to pay after treatment and the hospital mandates the nurse to pay the bill?

What if police later gets involved and detains the girl when no one else shows up for the victim? In Nigeria, some legal actions have been criminalised and poor people are the victims. For a nurse to boldly refuse to treat the victim, even when she knows she is being recorded, she must have had many bitter experiences in such cases.

ADDED:
Those that attack me and wish that I get involved in a road accident have not been able to answer the question in my first paragraph. Their sentiments render their brains inactive. I never said that an accident victim should not be treated. The point is that whoever takes the victim to a hospital should give the hospital his or her identity in case no one else shows up for the victim. Anyways, whatever you wish me shall befall you in 100 folds unless you point out where I wish anybody bad.

I laugh at those who have quoted me and said I may have a road traffic accident on my next road trip. I had an accident in the year 2020. The moment it happened, I could not sit or stand. I sustained serious spinal injuries. I was rushed to a federal hospital around 3:30 PM. Something like a cast, maybe POP is the name, was applied to my thoracolumbar region, and an injection was given to me. Both the POP and the injection were bought by my uncle from a pharmacy outside the hospital. Then, I was left on a bed along a passage at the emergency unit. Only God knows why we met that bed there. No other bed along that passage. After about 2 or 3 hours, my uncle complained and questioned why I was still left along the passage. The medical record staff he spoke to called security to bounce him out of the hospital. Another accident victim was brought in around 11:00 PM. Around 3:00 AM, the relatives of that one angrily took him out to look for another hospital. I remained along the passage, groaning in pains until after 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM the next day because there was no network for the hospital to open a folder for me.

So many other pathetic events followed. Though I didn't lose sensation, no defecation and no urge for it for at least one week, I stopped having erection until after many months, my lungs felt deflated, no bathing for at least 4 months because my thoracolumbar region remained covered with the cast. I remained in bed for a while before I was mobilized on a wheelchair. But I never blamed the workers I met there because I understand that the system was not destroyed by them. This thing happened in the National Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu. So, the fools wishing me accident and the ones telling me about federal hospitals should know that I have been a victim. I contemplated euthanasia for myself because I never knew I would survive. I have suffered. I am leaving with pains. But I am not a sentimentalist. Glory to God. Now, I walk without crutches but can't lift heavy things or do so many things. I don't do physical exercise. I don't kneel down. But in all these, I am not sentimental and stupid like those of you that attack me here. I don't and will never scapegoat health workers. I blame them only when they are at fault.
