Wow. How true.

Very important

So much about tyres by FRSC when 90% of the roads in the country are in dangerous state of disrepair.

God help us in this country.

The thing tire me.

Do you have a V6 engine for a 2010 Honda Accord and how much?

Where? Sambisa forest?

Reinvention of the wheel as an invention is what we always do here in Nigeria.

None of these listed cars were built with Nigerian roads in mind. The topic should have been:

Top 10 cars recommended for Nigerian roads.

Try flushing the transmission first but before then, check the colour of the ATF If it's too dark and smells burnt.

1996 Nissan Maxima would have been to hell and back with so many mechanics meddling with its electricals and engine electronics. Look for a good technician that can sort it out. There will be too many suggestions here that would throw you off balance.

Hmmmm

Your engine oil type has nothing to do with it for now. What you need to do is a simple diagnostic scan. It will reveal the hidden code/s that triggered the check engine light.

Get a written permission from him including chance of ownership letter.

Nice one.

I will only agree to manufacturers recommendations when the engine is new or the vehicle is below 100k miles. Older engines or higher mileage vehicles tend to have suffered the wear and tear syndrome.

It's a compromise. Ideally, you want an oil that has constant viscosity so that it always provides the same lubrication regardless of temperature. Unfortunately, the viscosity of oil does vary with temperature.

Multi-grade oils are modified with additives to make their viscosity less temperature dependent. This is important when the engine starts at low temperatures. If the oil is too viscous, it takes too long to circulate properly in the engine which allows metal-on-metal contact between moving parts. Also, the oil can be so "sticky" that it puts a far greater load on the battery and starter motor.

However, if the oil is insufficiently viscous, it won't lubricate as well at normal temperatures, and it could be quite inadequate during high power output, particularly on the cylinder walls which can get very hot.

The third factor is power consumption. More viscous oils may lubricate better, but they also create drag between the surfaces, and a certain amount of power is consumed in overcoming the drag. With fuel prices constantly on the increase, the trend is to reduce the viscosity to improve fuel consumption.

If you need to consider changing your oil grade, simply make sure that its a good quality synthetic oil.

Most Nigerian company used cars are usually badly maintained. Too many drivers and mechanics in its lifetime coupled with varying road conditions. It's almost like marrying a prostitute.

Imagine that uber taxi driving through Ojuelegba, mushin or agege.

I don't think it will make it. No way

Rubbish!!!!! This is a KIT car. One of those silly Toyota MR2 conversions. N200 million my ar5e.

God help us in Nigeria. May their souls rest in peace.

Simple answer; YES.

All talk and more talk. You guys fail to realise that modern cars fitted with catalytic converters are meant to operate efficiently with unleaded petrol. Most of the fuel we use in Nigeria is imported or locally produced without approved specifications and are dispensed by petrol stations all over the country without displayed specifications. Leaded fuel can easily damage or foul catalytic converters and oxygen sensors.

Air conditioned keke napep arrives Nigeria. When are we going to start building our own keke napep?

Ayam Sori for you. Simple as that.

Lovely looking car.
