I realised I've never seen Mobil 5w20 oil being sold at any Mobil filling station.
Had to ask them. The guy said he has never even seen it at their depot where they buy all the oils from.

Hoping I haven't been buying fake all these time

Has anyone bought Mobil 1 5w20 in a Mobil filling station?

otimothy:


Which oil is currently in your car? Reason I'm asking is I just finished battling same with my Honda accord 2006 and mehn I spent shege only to find out my oil was the issue.

I use the recommended 5w20, I buy the Mobil 1.

Well, the leak is reduced but I still have to replace the oil switch.

How was your oil the problem? Were you using the recommended oil? What product do you use now?

Thanks for this thread.

The car didn't start this morning.

I went and did small craze for them
I displayed for them small to the extent that their oga in the place had to step in and asked someone else to follow me. This other guy came with me home, worked on it till it started and we drove to their workshop

Currently there at their workshop. Although this guy tried to cover the guy's mess up by saying it was just battery, I kept quiet. I wasn't for argument. At least this new guy seem to know what he's doing. All 4 spark plugs were all messed up, this new guy has worked the rpm back. The jerking has stopped and the smoking has reduced. He assures the smoking will stop

I just bought injector cleaner and they still working on it.

Thanks Honda guys on this thread

That thing your mechanic tweaked was your throttle body. There are three ways he might have messed up it’s settings with his ‘tweak’

1. He opened up the rubber intake hose (engine air filter to throttle body) and jammed the little hole in there that supplies the iacv air with something

2. He has tampered with the ‘screw’ on your throttle body by adjusting it with a screwdriver (in which case you will need a multimeter to reset it)

You should go back to your mechanic and push him to tell you exactly what he did to your throttle body so you can know how to revert it or if to purchase a new one.

OR

3. He has damaged the wiring on your harness that runs from the iacv to your brainbox (an electrician has to check this one out)

Wow

Yes, he adjusted the screw with a screwdriver.

Please what are the terms 'iacv' and the 'harness' called in local parlance?

Thanks a lot man, appreciate the time you put into this

Egbeda to mangoro is how many kilometres? Is there hold up on the road?, 2k fuel is like 10ltrs and that should take you up to 80 kilometres or more depending

It's a relatively short distance. Used it to illustrate the way the car guzzled fuel. Not as long as 3MB which is about 12km. I'll say about 5 kilometres

May have tampered with your throttle body.

Which of oil seals did he change?

Thanks bro. The seal on the engine, rather. The rubber lining that runs round the top of the engine. He changed it and applied gum.

Then he tweaked something that dropped the rpm to 500 because he said the engine was high. Do you think any of these issues is as a direct result of this?

What suggestions can you give in case he had tampered with the throttle body? Thanks man

Conner44:



If you have a check engine light illuminated on your dashboard then I believe it’s time you scanned that vehicle before throwing any more parts at it.

Thanks bro. The engine light had been on though it was because oil was low. I topped it and the light disappeared.

Good day OP please help!!

The under of my Accord 05 was always wet, so I went to change oil seal yesterday. Asides this, I was driving ok. Although it was smoking a little, not too noticeable.

After the mechanic was done changing the seal, there was a loud screeching sound coming from the alternator axis. After a while it stopped, the guy then said my engine was too high. He did some adjustments.

Now, the rpm is less than 1000, it's at 500. The car is vibrating and jerking as if it wants to stop. In fact on the way home, the car went off.

It is now smoking heavily!!! Thick black smoke coming out. The silencer area is now black with soot. I notice the exhaust is coming out with a lot of force now even when in P.

And worse, it guzzled the entire fuel. To illustrate, it took N2,000 fuel from Egbeda to Mangoro!!!

Somebody please help with knowledgeable suggestions I'm distressed right now. I mean, nothing serious was wrong with the car, I only went for oil seal change!

One of the best moments when your soul rises. That is why the Bible Said house of mourning. Those are are some of the many codes the Bible dropped and people have experienced but they do not real eyes that that is what the Bible is telling them, so they miss it and they have wasted church going.

You guys have deviated from the original topic

There are truly very painful experiences in life. For instance, until you are wrongfully accused of something deep, you may not know the weight of wrongful accusations.
Some have the guts to carry on, others fall along the road...

This guy may have wanted to talk to someone about whatever was bothering him but no one was available.

RIP youngman.

What are some of the spiritual works ?

Evaporator leak is not internal leakage. If it is the evaporator, it will be visible if you apply detergent foam over it. Never buy new evaporator. They are very light.

Ok, thanks.

But in this case, what should I do?

Please anyone in the know:

When a fridge has internal leakage, is it not possible for technicians to repair the original part causing the leakage?

The technician is proposing to place an external evaporator, costing 28k.

Problem with this is that a neighbour just fixed hers with external evaporator 2months ago and it has just gone bad again.

Anyone with knowledge on this, kindly advise
