Princecanada:
I saw a post on nairaland that got me confused. I learnt that the American spec of the Civic has parts more readily available than the Japanese counterpart. I want to know how true that is before going ahead with the purchase.

The pics are attached below. First is the Japanese spec, and second American spec.
Very true

Car Talk › Re: Is Fort Oil(formerly AP) Super V Engine Oil 20w 50 A Good Oil? by dicksonadams(m): 7:28pm On May 25, 2020
kormene:
To me, your reply is the best so far. I use an '02 Honda CRV
I'll go with you on

1. Regular oil change either with months or Millage, for me I use two months Or 2000 Miles.

I use Forte Oil super V or Viscos 2000 25W50 reason being that
1. I was told (as usual) that it leaves engines cleaner with less sludge when compared to other lubricants. I am yet to confirm that but plan to interview different Mechanic.
2. Due to the economic crunch and the high cost of other lubricants.

As at now my car is doing good, my major problem with my car is high fuel consumption which I think is from
1. My AFM
2. O2 sensors
3. Or cold engine due to the thermostat I removed
Na waoh you even remove your thermostat... Why una no dey follow manufacturers manual na only God know... It is well

I would love to exchange my Pontiac vibe 2005(in perfect condition) with a better brand. Pls how do I go about this and which brand should a second time buyer go for?
Try Honda Civic 2008, it has better safety features and accelerate faster, I have both cars

If you can, I suggest you go for the 2008-2010 model. It is very spacious,has a good pickup speed(for a 4cyl), rides very nice with an excellent MPG. You can also buy the 2003-2006 as well. It doesn't have balljoint issues, it is spacious, fantastic fuel economy & very reliable. The 1997-2001 model is kinda getting outdated but it is what I call a rugged work horse. It has a good interior space, good awd system, the engine is stronger than any Toyota engine of its year & class but the only issue is the front suspension. It requires more attention inorder to avoid it pulling out on you.
The choice is yours.
Boss any idea of average price of 03 to 06 model

Got my ride delivered to my doorstep today. The driver started the journey yesterday and arrived Calabar by 12pm today. I was shocked to see the car. Normally, from Lagos to Calabar is over 13 hrs but the lockdown messed things up for the driver. I thank God he was able to pull through. You need his service? Feel free to ask for his contact.

Once I wash it tomorrow, I'd give a comprehensive review of Amdman and his services. However, let me be quick to say that in the course of my transaction with him, we had disagreements. In fact, at a point, I was mad at him but seeing this ride today, my spirit is overwhelmed with joy and I've forgiven all his sins wink I pray he forgives mine too. Walai, I worry that guy.

Like I said, I'd do a comprehensive review tomorrow. For now, please permit me to go and calm my spirit with a bottle of chilled beer.

Thanks load Amdman. We remain friends wink
can't wait wink

Milosval:
I have a 2005 Toyota sienna that won’t go in reverse when hot, but drives forward. But while driving forward it slips a little bit at times. It is 10 pin gearbox. I met mechanic who replaced the fibre and tail, yet the gear won't engage in reverse but but engage in drive. Please advise what and how to fix this problems. I have handicapped financial power at present, so can't buy new gearbox. I use the car for transport. Please your candid advise is seriously needed. Thanks.
Go to another mechanic to get a second opinion.

Wow.! That's surprising to me. I drove a civic for 6 years like I mentioned earlier and even traveled to as far as Benue , Enugu and never even get tired so I believe you but is there no remedy to this? I actually noticed that the seats are harder and more firm but what surprises me is that other of my friends that have this same car never complained. Thank you anyways
I think It is good to seat in a car you wish to buy and get the feel of the seating comfort before buying.

I have a civic and a Pontiac... The Civic is very comfortable to seat in, while the Pontiac is a back pain literally

I owned Honda Civic turbo 2019 in Red color and I love this car. Recently I purchase a new music player, speakers, seat cover from free online coupons. My car fuel consumption is bit high but I drive fast so its ok for me. The best feature of this car is it look like a sports car.
Turbo charge earth dream engine, heard they have the oil dilution problem

Toyota Super Long Life Coolant is excellent for newer model Toyota cars manufactured from 2004, but I discovered this OEM concentrate which meets the specs and costs a bit less. The premixed Toyota coolant costs about 11k in my area but this one is a concentrate requiring mixing with an equal volume of distilled water, so yields 8Litres and costs 8K
Please where can I get this?
