You don't mean it grin grin grin

I am not in the mood to argue or educate you today..
So you right sir
Yes... Once your car is shorting oil, your rings are bad... Trust me ! And these are in piston which makes the car engine to have compression ...

A smoking car isn't a good thing! The blue smoke means that the rings are going but some cars are naturally prone to oil shortage


Trust me an engine that is loosing oil too much isn't good and it's going ... It would be smoking

By short oil.. How long or how many miles does it take for engine oil to drop to the low mark?

Some times kazeem ride on our ignorance and over meticulousness..

Engine shorting oil is not a death sentence.. How much be the engine oil to be topping self as against buying the "new" engine or ringing.

My car consumes approximately 1 litre between servicing..
Let's do small maths..
Let's assume 1 liter engine oil = 3k,.. I service 4 times a year, total 12k worth extra engine oil..
Now Let's assume my engine cost 200k.. How many years will it take me to consume 200k oil?

If the oil shortage gets worse, I will step down to a cheaper oil & keep topping the oil..
No ringing or changing engine because of small oil burn..
Cunny man! Well japanese cars are funny cars .... But that aside

When you keep topping oil, the car looses compressions and plugs soaks and. This affects plugs and plugs soaks

LC is a V8.

At times, you should also realize that most automotive journalist are paid to favour one against another given a particular parameters and as such, you should do an independent research to come into conclusion over a matter.
An interesting race it is I presume (never bothered to watch it).
.... And you never bothered to watch it... That's what I call subjectivity .. we would wait for Lexus rejoinder it disclaimer

For now... We go with the race

The C63 is a high performance hardcore sports sedan, the LC500 is a luxury grand tourer. It's not meant for hard sports performance. It's also heavier and it's tuned to give softer feel.

They're two different cars meant for two different purposes.

When it's time to test the long distance journey travel of both cars in everyday commute, then you'd see the LC shines better than the C63
Well I am not in the position to analyse .... I think the race guys have their standards and engine specification .. and I think they come in V6 or something....

The race was amazing, isn't it ?

Oga copy and paste. The Accord is what has leg issues, Civics don't even use the same suspension type. I'm not sure what your screenshot is supposed to prove.

What's the make of serpentine belt u bought?
Bros to be honest we don't even take note of this belt and their make... When mine happened , the culprit is the pulley the one on top

I suspect one of those pulleys or do they call it rollers ... And funny enough they aren't expensive like that ...

Hello, how are you doing today? Please I just bought my first car, a Honda Civic 2008.
Is there anything particular about it and what should I do more to enjoy the car for a while.
Legs , legs legs ... Pay particular attention to legs and avoid floods ...

But OEM parts ...and service it when it it's needed and above all it's a 3 cylinder engine don't go competing with V6 or 4X4s ...

Always service it regularly maybe every 4-5 months depending on useage ....

Do this and you would enjoy it

Yes I love your advice !! Benz doesn’t develop all these faults associated with Japanese ... My CLA never had any issue till date and I drive for 3 years max... ML 350 would be great considering the flood which is temporal !!

Been planning to get the 2012/2013 Benz E350 next month. This will be my first car. I have a budget of 6-7m.

Not for heavy use, just commuting from home to work which is around the same VI axis.

I want it but I’m scared about potential maintenance costs and then periodic flooding since I live and work in VI. Don’t want to get something I’ll be scared to drive when it rains heavily.

Would appreciate insight about the vehicle.

Thanks
Well I suggest that you go for ML 350 or GLk.. The car is with higher clearance and that is why I recommend it

E350 and ML 350 Most time use the same engine the only difference is one is. Sedan and the other am SUV

Benz is a great brand and I have been driving that brand for over 7yrd now !

You took a great decision ..
Benz maintanance isn't the issue because you have to avoid a lot of wahala japanese guys face

Benz engine is built to last... If you take care of it well

Welcome to the club and try and come to Benz thread and ask questions about the brand

What about the ML280 CDI, ML300 CDI, ML420 CDI, ML450 AMG and the likeshuh? grin

Oya spot the error in my post make we start our own debate
All those are M class ... And they are called ML also...
Car TalkRe: Mercedes Benz Thread by AmuDimpka: 10:31am On Jun 12, 2020
HeavenlyBang:
That is NOT a fact. The M Class was renamed to the GL class. The ML was just the (one and only) model in the M Class.

Essentially, Mercedes had an ML (W163 and W164, from 1998 ), and then introduced a GL in 2007 to compete against the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator.

In 2015, they decided to unify their SUV models to prevent confusion. So they scraped the M Class, and renamed it to the GL class. GL is now Mercedes new SUV class.

The GLK became the GLC. Entry level.
The ML became the GLE. Mid-level.
The old GL became the GLS. Flagship level.

You can see it carries over the sedan pattern of C-E-S.

The A Class SUV is now the GLA.
The B Class SUV is now the GLB.
Both fwd based like the sedans.

These are facts. Your posted screenshot says as much. Feel free to prove me wrong.
You are right! To many extent

Let me attend to work now...I will tell you later why you may find ML class in Benz website like u said.
It's all about marketing..
I stand on my previous comments "ML class" doesn't exist, only M class.
The picture of the ML350 you posted initially should ideally be badged M350...but Benz can't use M350 cos BMW objected to it because they have a similar badge system, this is why the M class SUVs carry the ML badge.
This in no way makes the M class an "ML class"
I don't post here for likes or to win an argument.
Bros M class is called ML and in M class we have 320, 350, 450, 500 , AMG 53

But ML was later renamed to GL... That is a fact ! As of unreliability of British cars! That is a big lie

Most of you will just start typing to make someone laugh on this thread. grin
The 2010 Mercedes GLE 450 is a Beast.
It a certified True OFF ROAD Mercedes Benz SUV.

Let's do a little comparison since that's what you guys have turned this thread to.
Let's compare The GLE 450 that has a V8, 4.7l engine
With an infiti Suv with a larger engine of the same year.

Let's pick Qx56( V8,5.6l) grin

The GLE 450 makes 335hp@6000 rpm vs
Qx56 makes 320hp@5200
The GLE450 Torgue 339@2700rpm vs
Qx56 Torgue 393@ 3400rpm.
The GLE has a 7 speed transmission vs
Qx56 5 speed transmission
GLE450 is a 4matic(AWD)
Qx56 is RWD

From the above which vehicle do you think should be faster , more powerful and qualifies to be called a beast among its peers cool

Let me not even talk about reliability of the two.
I wonder why you should be responding to some known dude , he was messed at ikenma351 thread .. where he called Puegeot French bucket, he repeated that funny attitude again at Jaguar where he called British cars unreliable , folks like phaks007 , nobody and others where on him! Nonhuman was the creator of that thread!

I have personally learnt to ignore and never take that guy serious... They laugh at him everywhere! Ask erico2k2

This is a man that called British cars unreliable piece of junk, French cars as French bucket and German cars as Rust bucket .... So you have the energy responding to him

He forgot that Benz started the Body on frame SUV with ML and then GL is a unibody though ... Abeg na you get time !

Me I take super car blondie more serious
