175 killed under how many months? Meanwhile that’s just one week bandits/boko haram killing quota in kaduna alone undecided

Buckeyemedia1:
See the level you have dragged your intelligence, why not Lagos State, or Ogun State as a comparison, why Kaduna State?
You this Nairaland terrorist. What state do you prefer i compare it to? Is it Plateau state? Borno? Benue state? Zamfara? Gombe? Taraba?

Or aren’t human beings the ones dying in these states too? Hypocrisy is calling for a state of emergency in Anambra while being blind to the plight of those unfortunate to be dying anyhow in these other states.

Why did your dad wait till it is out of warranty to start using 20w50.......

20w50 is for old engines my brother.. It is very hard to see it here in Yankee.. It is not commonly sold here.....

For any major damage to occurred .. You said your dad bought the car brand new since 2005. He has been using 20w50 etc.. How often does he drive the car? Does he do up to 12k miles a year.. With Lagos traffic like New York and over crowding all over the place. How often does he drive the car for any damage to really occurred.. I doubt it that much...

Some cars will have head gasket issue . you might not know. But the more you drive it the more the problem will eventually come to surface ............

20w50 is not a common oil here in the states. You really have to go find it .. It is not commonly sold here. Modern engine have tighter clearance and 20w50 will be too thick for such
Yankee has at least 3 months of winter and Nigeria does not hence Mobil XHP 20w50 conventional oil can be used by vehicles here safely so far as it’s not in a modern engine (some 2010 and above). Over here Vehicle fluids don’t freeze up solid unlike over there that’s why our coolants don’t have anti freeze in them.

During service with a dealership they usually use oils from drums to service their customers vehicles. I am certain that the company servicing my dads car at the time used 20w50 drum oil on his engine from the get go. Remember this was a car bought brand new and made specifically to be used in our climate. That engine has a total of 170,000kms on its odometer today and I am dead certain that 99% of that mileage was done with Mobil XHP 20w50 conventional oil changes twice a year. If we wanted to do once a year oil changes we’d switch to Mobil1 20w50 fully synthetic oil or it’s equivalent.

For you to be saying that you can’t find 20w50 weight oil over there means you’ve never gone out in search of it for any particular reason before. Ask your neighbors who race their cars or ride sports/power bikes and they’d direct you to where you can buy them.

If you could import fully synthetic 20w50 oils to Nigeria and sensitize people that they can use it for changes just once a year or every 6 months I bet you will make triple sales because normally it’s cheaper to buy, withstands shearing/breakdown better than other lighter weight oils and it’s full synthetic too with anti sludge detergent additives as a bonus.

A majority of Nigerians will patronize you if you stocked any of the oils below (including my dad)

Talking from experince, coincidentally, in Qatar just as Nigeria, Toyota is the most popular car brand. Meanwhile the engine oil readily available is 10W30 follow by 5W30, 10W40, 0W20 all synthetic despite their hot weather. Synthetic oil doesn't break down. You can confirm from different vehicles with 20W50 mineral oil and 5W30 full synthetic oil that just arrived from far distances or you heat up both in different pan. If we are to go by weather, then no engine oil will work in countries like Mali and Burkina-Faso as they are the most hottest country in the world. Meanwhile Corrola is the car ruling Mali. As dru23 has rightly said, you guys help people to silent their noisy defective engines with 20W50.
Do you know that this same 20w50 oil you’re bad mouthing has its full synthetic versions from most major oil brands like Mobil. Valvoline. Liquimoly. etc? If you use that oil weight in a country that never sees very cold weather your engine will be fine although some newer engines from 2010 above tended to have tighter tolerances in oil passages and recommended lighter weight oils exclusively in their manuals.

True story my dad purchased a new car back in 2005 and after the first year warranty changes at the dealership he started using Mobil XHP and changed it religiously every 4-5k kms or twice a year and till date that engine has never consumed a drop of oil, has no sludge, never smoked or developed any issue. When he wants to change the oil it would still look amber/golden as if the oil had never even been used. His mechanic takes it to use in his generator. It’s a toyota 2RZ EFI engine that has been using Mobil super XHP 20w50 conventional oil for 15 years till today.

Even i myself that uses synthetic 5w30 my oil must be black by 5k kms when I’m supposed to change it out so I believe in everything concerning vehicles timely maintenance is key.

asomix22:
4 plugs
Honda four plugs engines are bullet proof especially the ones from 2003-2012. If you actually serviced your engine and before you drove up to a few hundred miles your engine knocked it must be because of a failure with your oil pump especially if you had no leaks at your seals or drain bolt.

When driving always keep an eye on your temperature and oil pressure indicators in your cluster. Before anything that affects your engine happens one of these two indicators must warn you.

Buy another engine half and top and use then be watchful. Use recommended oil ad service on schedule.

@conner44
So to conclude...the encircled in red is AF sensor right?
Yes. Check if it’s wiring is loose. If it’s firm then either the sensor itself is bad or your codes are O2 sensor related.

There is no issue with my IAT sensor which you encircled in red. Could you please send me a pictorial location as you did above of my upstream O2 sensor?
Sorry I meant AF ratio sensor. According to your scan codes PO135 and PO141 you have a general malfunction with both your AF and O2 sensors. They might both be linked together meaning fix one issue and the other issue goes away.

Maybe if you plug your O2 sensor back the code for your AF sensor will go away

I have changed the recommended ATF but still same story.
The mechanic told me to replace gear exchanger, he was pointing at something in the engine enclosure with red and black cable plug, when i ask what is gear exchanger.
My car still kick when you engage gear to drive.

How do i get a good gear exchanger, and how much it will cost me to get in PH.
Snap the gear exchanger so we understand your mech better.

The 02 sensor on the catalyst part is present but the rewire said the socket under the drivers seat is missing. Will scan the car for missing sensors (Like AF sensor) when I come back from church. Yesterday's scan threw codes P0135 and P141.
First Pic is the location of your IAT sensor.

Second is the scan codes description

Third and fourth are your components locations.

If you look behind your engine, at the part facing the firewall you’d see a metal covering over your exhaust manifold. Your AF sensor is under that pan. If you have a space on your O2 sensor socket and a sensor plugged in but with nowhere to link it to under your front passenger seat then I believe that part of your harness is either hidden (wires bent back/way from where it’s supposed to pop out from) or lost (cut off by a prior auto electrician).

So try to go under your passenger seat with a flashlight and a flat screwdriver, push your passenger seat all the way forward, loosen the single plastic floor carpet fastener, pull back the carpet and look around very carefully. The main harness port where you are supposed to plug in your O2 sensor runs from under that chair towards the handbrake/gear lever part of your car and then straight ahead to the brain box.

You can try doing the checking at night when your eyes can focus well with your flashlight. You would see the plug for your present O2 sensor dangling somewhere under there then look around for the main harness port. Go on YouTube and watch how to plug in the sensor for your car and you’d see everything you need to know.

Please which oil is best OK for my 08 Honda civic.. I just aquire de baby of recent and my mech is saying we are using Mobil

Please ur advice will help a long way
Did you acquire it as a Nigerian used or tokumbo? If it’s Nigeria used then follow your mechanics suggestion but if it’s tokumbo then use a good oil with the 5w30 weight for it.

Sulev was written on the side glass.
Okay that’s settled. If you haven’t changed the brain box of the car before then you should be having emissions malfunction codes if you’re driving with only one sensor. There should be the AF sensor on your exhaust manifold and the O2 sensor at the catalyst part of your exhaust pipe. Have you scanned the car already? Which of the sensors is missing?
