Good day Gazzuz, I've been able to get a direct engine for kia cerato 1.6 and car specifies 5w30, I'm hoping to purge the engine of the usual 20w50 Nigerian pandemic as soon as possible, how can I get proper Mobil 1 5w30 or Helix Ultra Extra to avoid the fake Mobil 1 on the market here?? Thank you, I await your response. |

Inception: After the rebuild and test run i would have to make the right decision on what oil to run the engine with as i have seen lots of kia hyundai engines from 1.4 1.6 to the 2.2 litre engines run 20w-50 oil either mobil or total. |

GAZZUZZ: Thank you, surprisingly no sign of sludge on any part of the engine, like i said oil change, plugs nozzles tune up were done frequently. |

Inception: Well mechanics is on it again, i agree with you, these engines just give some issue without trigger. I used an Hyundai accent 09 no issues atall, engine still sound mileage 130,000km and counting. |

9icetoo: 1. Total Qwartz 5000 2. Yes. Both oil and filter. 3. I change oil before 2,000 every 2 months if used daily. Most times car stays parked for weeks when am not around. 4. That was connected for just 5 days to rule out the option of fan being the problem. 5. To be sincere I noticed it had been removed at the first over heat. 6. Funny enough there was no sludge at all, like I said all engine components still look good. 7. We took the crankshaft to buy the bearings, also the dealer made sure he gave us the best as I've known him for years, then took the crank shaft to where they they specialize on crankshafts to make sure it was fine and they said it was. |

Kampack: The engine block has been checked no crack at all, I'd scan the car again on Monday. Sadly am not based in Lagos, but in Calabar. |

Thanks very much, the thing is I've had 3 good mechanics look at this engine and they say it looks very fine and runs fine, I had the car scanned during all these but I can't find the paper the codes were written down on. After viewing these codes injector mouth nozzles and all was serviced. The problem is the car runs fine till after 30min then the light comes on when I come to a stop flickers and u try to avoid driving up to am hour. After metals/bearing replacement, it extended till 40minutes.depending on usage then oil light comes on and if I keep driving temperature light |

The engine has had 90,000km on the car odometer. Car was bought brand new, other than kick starter, battery, normal maintenance, this has been a problem, I have seen beat up knocked engines rebuilt and works fine for years but this is just unbearable... Also it's an aluminum block Cerato 1.6 litre engine, it's very expensive and buying a new one isn't possible soon and I believe this engine can still work, please Gazzuzz,. Ikenna and other experts in this car talk section help me out, I see people come here and get solutions... |

Good day Car Gurus, I have gone through so much trying to solve a particular problem on a Kia Cerato 2012. 1.6litre, I think from 09-12 use the same engines. I noticed the oil light some months back flickering after about 4 hours journey, after which I parked the car to cool down and had it checked mechanic said top gasket was burnt Paid for a gasket replacement and that was it after, Prior to that, noticed the thermostat wasn't there, as usual the mechanic was tryung to blame it, fan still works with the sensor and comes on when I use the ac, akso I use the car with ac 90% of the time. I have not had need to drive the car longer than 1 hour but recently I noticed the light came back, especially if I run the car with ac and drive for about 30 minutes, slow down or come to a complete stop it appears then goes off once I accelerate. I met a mechanic who cleaned the bottom plate and claimed it would stop. It didn't. I met a Kia specialist who said it would be the the oil pump. I paid for a new oil pump installation and total engine servicing. After a week I noticed it again. He said to ignore the light. As he is sure oil was pumping and there was sufficient oil. Now I felt very uneasy each time I see this light but then after ignoring the oil light for about 30minutes driving around, temperature light appeared and clearly there was overheat, met another mechanic who dropped the top although the gasket wasn't really burnt, grinded it and changed it, water pump checked infact I allowed the electrician connect the fan direct for about a week nothing changed, I've been told to buy a double cell radiator, obviously it's all guess work. U use pure coolant finally the mechanic dropped to engine to check the bearings only to discover some bearings had haves off or worn out, replaced the bearings coupled the engine and with joy feeling our Kong term struggle was gone after running the engine for 2 hours. Oil light is back on. So clearly something is making the engine lose compression. Thus particular mechanic is really good and detailed, he is equally frustrated as he is sure my engine block, piston, top, fan gearbox, oils are all in order. 2 Likes |

You think this is painful, my full grown Rottweiler killed over 50 chickens in my poultry, killed 3 full grown goats in different times. Guess what, it's my fault for not socializingbthe dog from puppy stage or gradually introduce those animals to her and leaving the dog out there and definitely her killer Instinct were so strong, I beat her but it didn't change a thing I just had to make sure where I kept the farm animals was more secure next time. Am guessing that's a Rottweiler, well it has strong pretty drive and instincts. It's painful, sorry for your lost. The dog isn't aware of anything wrong so beating it will just scar and make the dog scared for life. Then you later come and complain your dog is always nervous or hiding from people. 1 Like |

Just start with any dog that will keep you happy or would not lose interest in the next 10 years, so look at the pups parents and decide if you would like own a dog like that... 1 Like |

Your dog looks good but try to help the dog avoid being nervous or fearful, keep pulling its tail from in between its legs, less patting on the head repeat this slowly daily you’ll notice the difference in the tail positioning. 2 Likes |

mhd5757: Well i wanted to put mine down, i had lost hope but then i kept trying. Now shes gaining her appetite and returning to her healthy body size. So i guess my puppy is among the 20% of puppies to survive parvo this year, trust me the effort i put in was so much for about 5days. Sorry for the loss, remember to wash dog kennel with bleach to prevent a new dog or another dog picking up the virus. |

Babatunde360: Continue force feeding. Mine did same. Just continue it would retain some of whatever you feed it. |

I am currently treating my dog for parvo. Its been a week and shes getting better. Shes been having daily injections which was quite expensive. At home dont give her water i repeat do not give water! Instead ORS in very little water which youll force feed her and white flagyl and vitamin c (these should be every 6hours, and yes mid nights also. Use of bleach to wash any part of your body or thing also area s the dog gets in contact with to avoid spreading the virus. Golden morn would be her to keep dog alive. Trust me the dog’s appetite to eat anything will be zero. Dog will be weak. Throwing up and vomiting will be reduced and wait the virus out, your vet must also be a good one, but the major recovery will come from your personal efforts. Goodluck. |
