Car Talk / Re: Have You Used Milemaster 5w-30 Oil Before? by andre82(m): 10:11pm On Nov 23, 2014
^^Thanks boss.
Car Talk / Re: Have You Used Milemaster 5w-30 Oil Before? by andre82(m): 5:34pm On Nov 23, 2014
Thanks for the reply boss, but it's 0w to 40 not 10w 40 pls. My friend used that instead of 5w 30. He also noticed that the oil is light enough to drip down the oil dip in the mornings whenever he checks it.
adanny01:


Assume a scale of 0-100 callibrated in intervals of 10.

Your car's recommendation is at 30 but you passed that mark to 40, others have gone higher to 50. Thats how you should see it but in terms of viscousity (thickness)

To your question proper, you may lose a tiny fraction of your mileage and a little off the life span of the engine.

Since 10w40 is a little higher on the viscous scale than 5w30, the oil is thicker and less energy conserving. The engine is designed to work with 5w30 but u used a thicker oil which will be a little heavier than recommended and may not warm up as quickly during cold start while your engine runs without proper lubrication for that short time.

Folks, pls what is the implication of using mobil 1 0w 40 instead of 5w 30? I've asked this question severally but no adequate reply to it. I'll like someone to shed more light upon it. Thanks

Car Talk / Re: What's Your Opinion On Jumping Gear 4( Manual Drivers Only) by andre82(m): 9:28pm On Nov 16, 2014
When I used to drive a golf 3 gti manual, my normal sequence is 1-3-5. I use 2 and 4 as @ when necessary. Then a toyota corolla 6 speed, d sequence is 1 pick up rev, go to 3, pick up rev and go to 6 straight. There's no negative effect with jumping gears. I find having to go through all the gears too time wasting.
Family / Re: 10 Words/phrase To Tell Your Child Everday by andre82(m): 10:33am On Nov 15, 2014

KingTom:
Had I been told all this as a child I would probably have followed my passion to become a mechanic. Instead I'm a Doctor because of words like:
You must be crazy?
S'owa daada?
I will reset your brain with my belt!
Ewure!
And the best of them all is;
Your head is just a big bowl of senseless Akamu!

What a cruel World! cry cry cry

Car Talk / Re: Gave My Car To Mechanic Without Telling Me. by andre82(m): 9:53am On Nov 14, 2014
All that in a kia Rio Pls may I ask which model year?
GAZZUZZ:


Its a light car, very good suspension, excellent for potholes, its a very good sprinter, excellent fuel economy very cheap parts (ridiculously. Cheap) and 1 do sustained speeds 140km/ph without any issues.

Before I forget the A.C is a killer!!

And I don't get stopped by the police or customs cause it was not bought tokumbor.

Its a win win situations since I travel alone most times.

The engine (head/block) costs 45-50k.

So have u taken "necessary" measures with Kazeem for making you go through all that
GAZZUZZ:
U turn back to lagos,Remaining battery power would not take me into lagos so I thought of buying a new battery, but since its sunday there was no one selling.... Car began jerking I knew I had only a few km left for car to stall completely, I see this guys car parked on the road he's looking really confused so I decide to stop there. I turned off engine and went to ask him what was wrong with his vehicle? He said his brakes failed and fluid was leaking from rear right wheel, I told him my battery was flat and needed a charge so I struck a deal with him, ill fix your leak while we use ur car to charge my battery, it was a rusted pipe so I ended up blocking it, we bleed it and it was fine, it took like 10mins and I felt my battery was not charged enough, so another deal was struck, I use ur battery till we get to ojodu berger then we swap back, the chap was ok with it, got to berger and swapped back. Got home with a little juice left. grin
