Car TalkRe: Spark Plugs Review -all Brands-why Buy Toks by adanny01(m): 6:26am On Jul 02, 2021
DMechyy:
Buying Used Plugs is like buying used engine oil

The Craze with toks parts is understandable in the nigerian context. The car is toks, why buy new parts. For many the problem is not the price of new parts, but the quality.

What i wiil never understand, is why people buy used spark plugs! Maybe i do. Using toks spark plugs is like using used engine oil. I will never blame the patrons of this idea. I have had vehicles with missfires tjat has got new plugs in them, and the first thing i request for are toks plugs, to test and eliminate a spark plug issue. They are cheaper to get, hence good enough tools for troubleshooting. Thereafter i change to original new plugs, and customer is happy. Most mechanics have sworn never to buy new plugs, having got burnt by buying knock offs. Well, some dont even know there are original new plugs, you will be amazed at the craze of toks part and the followings for them.

So are toks plugs good? Yes, do they work Yes, but do you get better perfomance with them ? no. They of are course used, and not new, and out or almost out of service life.This of course applies to all used parts.

I will be posting different spark plugs, OEM original brands, with prices. From Mercedes to Honda/Acura, to Toyota/Lexus, to Hyundai/Kia to Nissan/Infinity plugs.
The average life of engine oil is what? Maybe 3500-10000miles. Also, during its life, it collects dirt, sooth and particles that make it unusable in another engine.

For plugs, the average life span in a good engine is atleast 30000 and can be up to 100,000miles. What ever carbon deposit it collects can be cleaned. So it can be used in different cars during its life span.

Yes, substandard plugs are a problem, I have seen one melt.

My issue with toks plugs is getting the right spec.

that guy has destroyed many transmissions and gear boxes with his way of driving. this is one of his threads where his gear died on him when driving

You are not a learned person at all.

Did you read the thread before shaming yourself. Did you read to where i posted this.

It wasnt a transmission problem, it was water in my brain box.

Shame on you.

.
This is it. I had water in the ECM!

2 days ago before i had the first 2 jerks, i wanted to wash the car and i noticed the foot well of the front passenger was very wet after i removed the floor mat. I allow the car dry well without replacing the carpet for some time but wondered how moisture got there since my last car wash was more than a week before.

My mechanic and i were totally lost and we called someone who specializes on gear box. Before he came, we were discussing how confusing everthing was so he suggested we try the ECM but i said thats the last resort and the scan said something different though the problems listed included ECM.

The gear specialist came and i was disappointed because he ordered some fuse tampered with which i didnt like but after getting confused himself while the car made some serious noise when he tried it, i feared the worst. He concluded that the ECM is misbehaving and water may be responsible. Viola, the ECM had water!

I started connecting the dots. I saw the ac condenser drain pipe and remembered i had a case of flooding from that pipe blockage in my office car that resulted in foul smell. Pulling it out, water gushed out. The source of flooding was found. ECM was dried and the car is perfect.

However, i am not sure the AC drain is working or still blocked since i have not seen water dropping from it so far. Tomorrow, i will make sure the drain is flowing. Other item that was tampered with is the solenoid that operates with brakes and unlocks gear lever from park.

One more, my engine RPM is lower than before and unstable especialy with A/C. It used to average at 800.

nah you not reading between the lines brah. how many people can gauge what speed they have reduced to before finally downshifting apprapriately ? not many and so you are taxing the gear system. but to prevent you doing all that just disenage first by pressing clutch and then slow the car down to desired speed using brake and once you are at desired speed, then downshift approapriately and then re-engage by releasing clutch. it is the right thing to do. has always worked for me. and my gear-transmission system always functions brand new. but to each his own
If anyone doesn't know how to read a speedometer, that person shouldn't be behind the steering wheel.

Desired speed again? Didn't you say how many people can gauge speed, what of desired speed, is it different?

By implication, you drive that way because you can't gauge speed, how is it the right thing to do? If you can't drive a manual correctly, just get an Auto. You are not the first. My father got old and doesn't want to touch a manual, i don't blame him, i got rid of it before it rots away.

Just give it up if you are not good at it.

its a surprise you and your dad have not damaged your car with your driving method. try to read this link bro

https://www.cartoq.com/braking-tips-clutch-brake/
Very good. You posted a link to a write up you probably didn't read. Let me highlight

A typical challenge those learning driving face relates to braking: should they first use clutch or the brake. In our braking tips we will simply the issue in context of situations you are likely to face but first, you would need to know what does a clutch do.

Clutch simply disengages the gearbox from the wheels which helps the wheels to move freely and independently of the engine. If you want to stop and do not use your clutch, then your car will eventually stall and come to a halt. This will cause damage to your engine, clutch and transmission. The car stalls because the brakes are trying to stop the car while the engine is trying to propel the car ahead. As you are not accelerating, the revs of the engine keep falling and eventually the engine dies and the car stalls. So, how do you properly brake? Here are four ‘braking situations’ and tips to handle them:

At low speeds: First clutch then brake

You have to press the clutch before the brake pedal if your speed is less than the lowest speed of the gear you are in. You can find the lowest speed of the gear by simple releasing the clutch and not using the accelerator. The speed that you can achieve without the use of the accelerator is the lowest speed of the gear. This is usually done in bumper to bumper traffic as your speed is usually less than the lowest speed of the 1st gear.

For instance, you know that the lowest speed of your car’s first gear is 10 kmph and you are going at 8 kmph. As your speed is already less than the lowest speed of the gear, your car will struggle and stall, when you brake. To avoid this, you would first need to press the clutch so that the engine is not dependent on the transmission and then start braking.

Sudden Braking: Clutch and brake together

Clutch and brake together are usually used in emergencies as it is the most effective way to brake without damaging the mechanical parts of the car. If someone or something comes in front of your car you would have to press the clutch and brake together, this will ensure that you do not accelerate by accident as your gearbox will be disengaged from the wheels. And you will be able to stop with the full braking power of your car.

At High Speeds: First brake then clutch

Brake is first used when you are travelling at decent speed and you need to slow down a bit. Now, if you decide to stop or the speed of your car reaches the lowest speed of the gear then you would need to use the brakes so that your car does not stall.

When you will start braking, your speed will start falling and once it goes below 15kmph, your start will start struggling and eventually stall. To avoid this, you would need to press the clutch once you hit the lower speed of the gear or when you feel the engine is about to struggle.

Temporary slowdown: Only Brake

You only need to use the brake if you want to slow down or if there is an obstacle in your way and you want to turn slightly away from it. As you are above the lowest speed of the gear, you can just decrease your speed slightly and the continue.

For instance, this is mostly done on highways when there is a car in front of you. If you are going at 100kmph, in fifth gear and you need to slow down. You would just press the brake, your speed will decrease but you will not hit the lowest speed of the gear so you do not need to use the clutch.


So there you are. Just remember the lowest speed of the gear varies from car to car. This would help you understand in which circumstance you should use your brake first or your clutch first. Remember to keep practicing and slowly you would not need to think about it and would be able to brake perfectly.
Out of the four scenarios above, only one says clutch before braking and with a condition that you are at the lowest speed of your gear. You clutch because you car will stall if the speed drops lower especially if at first gear.

Even when stopping, you slow down to the lowest speed of your current gear the clutch and put 1st gear if you will continue or neutral if your are stopping for a while. Meanwhile anytime you press the clutch you either change gear or put it to neutral and release it.

This means in majority of driving situations you brake before clutch and in only one condition you clutch before braking and that is only at low speeds usually traffic situations.

HEAVEN4444:
so you have used 3 manuals since 1990s ? thats bad record. i was hoping you would say you were still using the same one car manual since 1990 then you will have a case. as it stands its a chance you destroyed 2 gears already or why would you sell a perfectly functioning car twice ?
The first car, I sold it 2010, we had it for 14 good years without damaging the transmission. My father and I were the regular drivers with the same driving style but never had a transmission issue. Before that, my dad drove his manual brand new VW Bug from 1979 till 1996, 17yrs, without a damaged transmission. I am sure you have never used same car for that long to even know for sure what you are talking about is true. What you are talking about is a myth, else bring facts or research corroborating information so i can believe you.

One thing for sure with a manual, the more you clutch the more you change your clutch plates, brake pad and brake disc. Its your choice, your car.

If i have a manual today, anyone who drives that way will not get to drive my car.

When you insist on unsubstantiated myths like this, I am sure you would have since thrown your thermostat to the gutter and connected your cooling fan direct while subscribing to anything but manufacturer's specifications.

brother you have it all wrong. but hey, to each his own. hopefully you dont damage your gear with this your way of driving
I have been driving since the late 90's and have never replaced a transmission on the 3 manuals i have used.

Just google it.

HEAVEN4444:
brother you are wrong. the clutch is the go to first. in all speed alterations you have to clutch first so as to disenagage the engine from the gear. this will save you from destroying your gear-transmission over time.

see when you clutch first, the car is just free rolling with no gear involvement and then you can brake easily without destroying your gear system. and then when you get to the desired speed, then you can change the gear and then re-engage the engine and gear by releasing the clutch. this is how you drive effectively without getting expensive gear repair jobs down the line
What ever i told her applies to you.

Do you know that in some countries, it is illegal to coast? It is also illegal in other countries to park your car and leave it in Neutral? You park the car, engage the handbrake, put the gear in 1st or reverse and turn your steering towards the curb.

Do you know that when you free roll, you use more braking power to stop or slowdown meaning you wear your brakes faster and also your rotors?

Do you know that Automatic transmissions in a "free rolling" downhill downshifts to an appropriate high gear for added engine braking. Are the designers mistaken to have programmed such action? Does that destroy the transmission or engine? Do you know that Hybrids uses the engine braking to generate power that charge the batteries?

Chairman, you simply need to do your research cause you don't seem to know.

Do this test on a 2003 above Honda (i am sure), coast downhill at 100kmph with no throttle, you will notice that you are gaining speed, press your brakes once and release, you will notice that the gear down shifts immediately to help you with more braking force. Leave it to continue coasting, you will see that the car is now decelerating without applying brakes. That will be pure engine braking and it is not harmful to transmission or engine.

Dont forget that it is based on the manual transmission that the automatic was developed so reverse the case and nothing gives. Both manual and auto trans work with the same basic principles.

Whatever you know, don't assume it is the best or thing until you have the complete information.

Then, you're driving your manual like an automatic. Na so so off and jerks you go dey get.

There's no manual without clutch.
The car starts jerk when the car is in gear and the rpm drops too low usually around 600rpm. That too low rpm is an rpm that the engine cannot produce enough power to provide the required torque to keep the car in motion.

No one who properly knows how to drive a car will let it jerk. It is either the driver engaged a too low gear or is paying attention to the rpm which is what driving a manual car entails. Driving a manual entails monitoring more than just clutch and gear. You have to monitor the rpm and speed to select the right gear. A clutch is never meant to be press and held.

I am telling you for a fact that your teacher taught you wrong. He taught you using easiest way to teach someone to drive a manual but not the proper way.

If you know what "engine braking" is, you will know that once you clutch, there is no engine braking. So if you dont even know what engine braking is you are yet to know how to properly drive a manual.

Clutch and brake to slow down
Clutch and brake to stop
Clutch and brake for bad road
As my driving instructor taught me to sing it that year cheesy

Me love manual cars abeg. Wetin be automatic?
Sorry, he taught you wrong.

Your clutch will not last with that much clutching.

You actually don't need to clutch every time you are slowing down especially with modern cars.

What you need to avoid is braking with gear beyond 1000rpm. It means you brake till the rpm drops to 1000rpm then you clutch and downshift 1 gear down. Remember that clutching and holding is bad so anytime you clutch you need to change gear or put it to neutral then release the clutch.

If you are clutching on a downhill, both your brakes and clutch will suffer. If you are familiar with engine braking, you will not encourage anyone to clutch and brake.
RomanceRe: Betrayal: My Friend Went Ahead To Date A Guy That Was Wooing Me by adanny01(m):
Rozcol:
Yes I had to end my friendship with my once very good friend because she saw nothing wrong in dating someone who used to be so interested in me, that I turned him down isn't enough reason for her to date him

There are so many other guys she can date and it shows the guy does not genuinely love her else he wouldn't have come for me in the first place.

I don't think it's cool for a close friend to go ahead and date someone who was once interested in her friend, its betrayal and also a sign that she doesn't know and respect boundaries and that's dangerous to me, such friends are not to be trusted. She can stab you at the back when you least expect.

Now she's telling people that I'm selfish and petty for having issues with her decision to date the so called guy. What do you think?
You like the guy? Why the fuss? Wish your friend goodluck and move on.

By the way, whats your reason for not accepting the guy?

My wife today is from similar scenario.

I went to woo a girl and met my close friend who told me he was there to do the same thing. I backed off and wooed her younger sister whom i got married to. Funny thing was that the girl didn't give him the green light, they were just closer friends while she was seeing others.

My cousin is currently dating a girl, he actually wooed her younger sister first who had been to his house severally. Their relationship was awkward to him as the girl didn't act mature lyrics and he later met the older sister and wooed her. The older sister was aware of the cold Relationship and had to ask my cousin and sister if they slept together which the never did.

you were so triggered by my post that you had to an entire article that unearths your vitriol for medical staff who are also human. Let me continue to live in your head rent free.

The thing about google advice, is that context is everything that is what the untrained eye does not know.

I do not give unqualified advice? My days of giving advice online for free are behind me because nigerians NEVER EVER tell the full story online and i don't want my advice to cost me my license which i worked too hard for. Majority of people just want expert advice that someone studied for many nights to acquire for free, If other docs want to give free treatment, that's on them. I will educate the public for free, but to prescribe drugs or give treatment, HELL NO. I value my craft that much. Many people will take that advice and abuse it in the future and i am tired of seeing that happen.

I will not make decisions or jump to conclusions that has to do with a person's life in a public forum like this but i can point them in the direction to go and get the best care from an expert. The only qualified advice i will give is to go to the hospital which will go a long way to save them than all this 'gbogbonise' advice you value so much.

Let me give you this advice for free

That person saying to put hydrogen peroxide in the ear is not nice. Hydrogen peroxide is dangerous and can weaken the ear drum and rupture it.
Why didn't you tell the person who said to use Hydrogen peroxide how dangerous it is in the ear. Go to hospitals, thats what the use yet the only advice you gave to a person who has an insect in his ear is to go to a hospital.

I knew you are all about the money and nothing goes for free.

Who asked you for prescriptions here? Where is the public education? There are miss informations here, how many did you voluntarily rendered qualified advice without the push i gave you. Even if you gave prescriptions, I will assume you are a quack since you should know better.

Please park for side and keep your opinions to yourself if you don't have any free contribution to the tread.

You will educate the public for free but you will not jump into conclusions when a person has an insect in the ear. How conflicting? You will point people to the hospital, did anyone ask you about the direction to the hospital? I wonder if the op didn't know any hospital that you had to direct him to one.

I just pray I don't get to rely on Drs like you who feel the value of their knowledge must be exchanged for cash.

If the only advice you can give as a qualified Dr is directions to a hospital then you are not qualified to be my Dr or anyone's else who cares about his life.
HealthRe: Fly Entered My Ear Last Night by adanny01(m):
DrFunmisticGlow:
because you have bad experiences (which i empathize with) doesn't mean you should then give someone unqualified advice that will worsen his condition. That it worked for you doesn't make it the correct thing to do. Advice like yours has brought more people to the hospital hoping for a miracle when they're almost at death's door.it happens all the time
You are a Dr. yet I have not seen your qualified advise. Meanwhile, tell me how worst his condition will be by my advise so I can learn not to advice anyone in future. I read about it on google and it solved my problem, maybe I was lucky, explain how bad it was so i dont repeat the mistake. The information in your head is not meant for you alone, alot of people gave theirs to you to become what you are.

There is a Facebook page of Peadiatricians on Facebook and they give advice. Nothing prevents you from giving qualified advice. In fact, if I saw your qualified opinion, I and the numerous Nairalanders who gave unqualified opinions would have not said anything. In my field, I give my qualified opinion in the properties section when I can, In car talk, I give unqualified advice from my personal experience. This helps the affected person to find a proper solution and not fall prey to quacks, I suggest you borrow a leaf.

Secondly, I am not telling you my bad hospital experience to legitimize my advise, I gave it to prove a point that even hospitals can be unqualified as well as the medical professionals found within.

There are things you can advice people as a qualified professional online and there are things you simply cannot say or do. You need to Identify the line between and render your free service (advice) when asked.

There is a public hospital pediatrician I know and was nicknamed Dr. Sharp sharp. He had a private clinic. He was fond of writing prescriptions that will not help the patient and say next patient. He didn't care about the patient when he is on ward rounds. The aim was to not to give proper care to patients in the public hospital while telling patients to see him in his private hospital if they wanted proper treatment. In his private hospital, you become an in patient for even a headache for as long as possible.

When my child was sick while i was away, my wife took the child to his private clinic because he was the only pediatrician in the town. Someone saw her and told me how bad the Dr. was, i rushed home and insisted he discharged us, the man refused and even walked me out of his office telling me if he discharged us, he will recognize my wife and I anywhere and will never treat us even in the public hospital. He got fired not long afterwards, imagine the number of children who died in his care.

While talking to him a woman came crying with something like an unconscious child but the Dr didn't even look at the infant. He told her point blank to go tell her husband who has been avoiding him to come and settle their previous bills before he will even look at the baby. I took my child home with speed of light.

Do not feel that some of us do not know anything or google is not qualified, the people who published the google information are qualified like you and know how it could help. You shouldn't dismiss them. Some people live remotely or are poor. You don't tell everyone to go to a hospital flatly. There are home remedies. This solution doesn't require insertion of foreign objects in the ear or taking medication. Drs like you have given advise on NL and i suggest again that you try it.

look!! Google didn't go to medical school, nor can it remove a foreign body. So let him just find himself in a hospital so that they can remove the foreign body.
I am not against going to a hospital.

Water did remove the insect in my ear.

You should remember that ENT doctors are not every where.

My wife got injured in the ear by a medical staff in a government hospital when she had a cotton bud stuck in her ear. The nearest ENT doctor was 300kms away. You can imagine the costs to further treat the injury that resulted to puss in a proper hospital.

A friend of mine broke his leg in an odd place that a medical Dr didn't see the fracture even with several xrays. That Dr even insulted him and referred him out of the hospital for refusing to walk. He broke had a femoral neck fracture.

I have nothing against going to the hospital but you need to understand certain situations that could pose a challenge for people to go to hospitals.

The friend couldn't afford the bills he was given by an orthopedic surgeon, he had to resort to painful unorthodox traditional methods that left him limping.

When I had an insect in my ear at 4am, with 2hrs to the nearest good hospital, a hospital didn't wasnt even an option. After all, I have experienced having water in my ear like a million times, so pouring water in is a relief that I could never doubt.

DrFunmisticGlow:
Don't pour water, oil.
I did.

In my case, the insect was walking on my ear drums, i couldn't even walk straight. The feeling was irritating. I searched google and found either water or olive. Olive oil will kill it to stop the irritation. Insects don't drown on water. They float, so floading the ear and tilting the ear way up will help the insect float up to surface and out. If it doesn't work, tilting back the head will expel the water and the insect will be dragged out by the water.

While I was outside last night... Standing close to an electric bulb fly mistakenly entered my ear and couldn't com out I tried removing it but I was unable to remove it rather I pushed it inside.........

Pls what do I do to remove it?
Next time, pour water into the ear. The principle is that all insects float on water.

So tilt your head putting the affected ear upwards. Pour water until your ear is filled with wafer, the live insect will easily float itself outside the ear.

I have practically done it when an insect entered my ear.

Dear Nairalanders,
I have an issue that has been on my mind for weeks now. My fiancé and I have been dating for over three years. I love him and he loves me too. We are physically attracted to each other. We’re both catholic but since I graduated, during my service year I gave my life to Christ, got saved and left the Catholic Church. So I’ve been a Pentecostal Christian since then. He on the other hand is still catholic. I subtly try to nudge him to consider getting saved, i.e acknowledging Christ as lord and savior and becoming born again but he is content with his laidback Christian life.

Earlier this year, he asked to meet my parents and I let him. My parents like him especially because my younger sis is married and they have been waiting for me too. They’re glad I’ve someone. However, after the introduction,I regret it. I’m now certain that he’s not the one. I think about my spiritual life and how lukewarm he is about the things of God, I think about kids and how we’ll raise the, with such differing views about God and I’m discouraged. I feel like I’m settling because he checks all the boxes on the checklist of physical attributes. Another mistake I made is, I didn’t pray about this decision and that worries me because anything that involves him,I just act with pausing to ask God, but I always ask God about other aspects of my life. So it’s like my associating with him is a minus for my spiritual life and that’s a huge cause for concern.

At this point, I want to tell my parents I am not convinced it’s him but I’m afraid of the disappointment this will cause. *sigh* I’ll appreciate your thoughts, comments, criticisms...
Funny you didn't state categorically your issues with him. I can only assume that its because you are born again and he is not.

If thats correct, then you stand at risk of being single for life or end up marrying at 50.

You want to raise born again children or you want to raise christian children? At the end, when they turn 18 they can say to hell with your burn again life style no matter how thoroughly you feed them the born again line.

Even Muslims can train Christian children.

I think the answer should be 'uncle once removed'
Don't really know sha o

That about generations , I think you're right.
Once removed means to be separated by one generation.

So for an uncle of a preceeding generation, if at all, should not be "removed" but "added"

I already did but it would be nice for you to learn.
Don't insist on what you are not sure of

To help you, everyone in your generation of great grand parents is simply a great grand uncle/aunt.

Everyone in your generation of grand parents is simply a grand uncle/aunt.

Everyone in your generation of parents is simply an uncle/aunt.

Everyone in your generation is simply either a sibling or cousin

Everyone in your generation of children is simply a your son/daughter or cousin once removed

Etc

Using the OP as an example, who is he or what's he called by the cousin first removed?
I don't know.

But personally, let me tell you what i do.

I use generations.

My parent's siblings are officially my Uncles and Aunties. Furthermore, my parent's cousins, first, second, third to the last are my parents generation as well as his siblings. So to me, the entire generation is of uncles and Aunties.

The above should answer your question, but to be clearer, a first cousin removed should call op or any one in his father's generation uncles and Aunties. Note, Op and his first cousin are in the same generation.

To understand these relationships, you have to understand the generations first.

Havilah9779:
He's your first cousin once-removed.Just call him your cousin.
No, he is not a cousin.

A cousin is your own generation.

The question is in the generation of a nephew/niece's child. 2 generations away.

Your second cousin.

MODIFIED

Turns out your cousin's child is your first cousin.
Wrong and wrong

Any one that is a cousin is the same generation as you.

Anyone in the generation of your nephew/niece is called cousin first removed

Anyone of the generation of your nephew/niece's child us a cousin twice removed

And so forth

So you share a grand parent with a first cousin.

You share a great grand parent with a second cousin

You share a great great grand parent with a third cousin

You share a 3rd great grand parent with a fourth cousin

Back to the question, the question asks of the child of the child of you aunt.

You and your Aunt is Aunt
You and your aunt's son are first cousins
You and your aunt's son's child are first cousin once removed
You and your aunt's son's son's child are first cousins twice removed

So correct answer is first cousin once removed
