Mechanics (3 of them) 30k, 15k, 20k

With other anonymous expenses

Mind you, the first mechanic almost sent me to the village, he removed so many parts from my car to fix another vehicle, and he'll forced me to replace them. He was caught when he removed my steering rack. That guy is a devil incarnate. I got him arrested, I lost almost 200k to this criminal.

In all these, remember that cars from USA are American specs... it get why!

The orifices for oil passages are same design. Most engines SA use are from Japan which I know quite well. Most parts in Toyota USA are from DENSO...same Denso whose hqtrs is in Japan.

In all these, the flowability at low temperature is very important. The cars should be able to start even at minus 20 degrees.

There is an equipment we call COLD CRANKING SIMULATOR... Marine lubes we blend here in Naija must pass its test as well as pour point test for -35 degrees C.


My last statement on this thread: I appreciate what you do. We must hustle and all is gonna be fine. But if you do mini importation of lubes into the country, you can advertise your lubes without condemning our 20W50. Who knows, you might get to the extent that you have a technical partnership with the Lube manufacturers abroad, you might establish a Plant here. How will you feel if someone tells you that what you produce is rubbish when you have invested in raw material, equipment and staff to produce the best?

Think about it

Hmmmm

I thought I could fix it with atleast 250k but I was wrong. The bumper alone is 40k direct tokubor. Though there's new one of 28k

ok fine, bumper 40k, but how did everything you change now totaled 500k

betterbest:
I spent about 550,000 in fixing the car without buying engine and gear.. I fixed the car to my taste, sold it about 2 weeks ago for 1m.

550k and you didn't change engine or transmission? Werin you come buy

We agreed that Mobil is good, Castrol is good and all the likes.

If 20W50 is bad, why do Mobil and Castrol produce them?

Hmmmm

GAZZUZZ:
Leave the transmission oil alone.

Any good brand of DextronIII is ok for powersteering

Where can one get a genuine one boss? Scare of the risk of pouring akamu inside the car as powersteering

Sorry boss things like this do happen sometime,
I once had an issue with an accord I bought from amdman December last year, the guys that offloaded it from the container messed up the body parts, saw some unexpected rust, car overheated on way home , I reached out to him and we worked out something, got a solution and moved on,
I hope you guys found a middle ground and move on. God bless you both

erictoonice:
I'm not a car novice I've owned more than 10 cars, I've had issues with newly bought cars even this year I bought a tokumbo car and the engine started making knocking sound after a week that was the only problem after changing the engine the car was perfect. I complained to the seller and without even telling him he sent me half the money for an engine that I bought almost 800k. I'm not satisfied with how amdam does business immediately I saw the car I complained to him and he knows. Let's be sincere will you buy a tokumbo car withy AC even a Nigerian used car will hardly sell without AC.
I'm very angry with this car cos it's a total waste of money the engine has been changed now there are several problems with the car the gear doesn't change more than gear 3 the car is still with the mechanic trying to fish those issues.
When the mechanic removed the bad engine from the car he complained as hell that why will I buy that kind of scab as tokumbo ever thing in the hood was rusted, even the shock, most of the bolt broke off cos of rust. A panel beater had to find a way to loosen all the bolts I bought new set of bolts everything in that car is frustrating I swear I'm very ashamed of that car imagine you buying a car for your wife and it came out to be scrab I'm really angry and ashamed.

You no get confidence with anything made in Naija? That's the basis of your post.

I get confidence in some items made in Naija. Naija's manufacturing sector is not useless.

You are the confusionist here.

I quite agree with the fact that the engine orifices for oil passage are getting smaller. How many centistoke is the viscosity range of 20W50? What's that of 0W20 or 5W30 or 5W40?

Remember that oil recommendations for some of these cars that are built in 2000s to 2007s are 5W30 SF.

If you mention Society of Automobile Engineering (SAE), dont rubbish American Petroleum Institute (API)

Lolzzz

Please edit the pikin pix out

Zeewirld:
Good evening house,

Which engine oil would you advise I use for a 2006 Sienna?
Can I use hardex engine oil .Also can I use 5W40 against the manufacturer's recommended 5w30

Thank you

Hardex engine oil will humble you... Stay clear

Guy don't mess with the gear, Honda gears are sensitive, contact autologic, would have suggested GAzzuz, but don't think he works on 8th generation Civic. Bottom line you need a good car repairer

Do you drive to Lagos sometime? Make I block you to inspect am

Hope all the custom papers are available?

Change team, since the dentist is recommending the optician looks at the tooth.

Seems you are about to be humbled

Lolzzz

richforever123:
Thank you deeply for your response, you mean the problem is solved already, or the problem will be solved after I service the transmission

Personal inspection of the fluid signifies that it needs change

Boss you have access to the best source of information as regarding any car issues, The Web, follow the instructions given, drain your transmission oil and refill with oem recommended new one, do not flush. Measure what you drain and ensure you put same quantity in,

Also, check out videos on YouTube on how to do it, pay a good kazeem technician, keep an eye on him to ensure he follows the steps correctly.

if this does not work, then it is time to pay more to do a thorough job at a pro car repair center, gazzuzz or autologic if you are on the mainland or radautoworks if you are in the island.

Cheers

Please 1.5

However I am not experiencing any transmission malfunction, it shifts properly, the reverse gear also works perfectly, my mechanic advised I service the transmission

I also did a look up on most of the codes and most of them say an oil and oil filter change will solve the issue

Thanks for your help

Then problem solved
