Hi guys. I use a 2008 Honda Accord which I got toks two months ago. I serviced it 3 weeks ago with Mobil 1 and engine oil life is already at 50 percent just under 3 weeks. I want to know if I can reset it back to 100 percent when it gets to 20 percent because Mobil 1 is expensive and I can't be servicing the car with Mobil 1 every two months.
Contrary to as perceived, - 2014 vehicle models do not have sensors to determine when your oil is bad. Of course the oil pressure sensor can sense low oil pressure, not even necessarily a reflection of the level of your oil.


The oil life algorithm is based on mileage, for most vehicles it is set at 5,000 miles/Km. That is why it is advised you use the recommended oil for your oil changes. If you use a low grade oil, and rely on the oil life to determine when to change your oil,
you can as well do a early sendforth for your engine.

If your oil service lights comes on, and you reset it without changing the oil, your car assumes you've done an oil change and starts the mileage covered count.

When you are dutiful enough to record your mileage at oil change, and do a reset yourself, and confirm it is done, then check the next mileage the oil change light comes on, then you will understand it.

Vehicles are not yet as smart to know degraded oils. Service lights are programmed on vehicles with mileages covered

I recently changed my car (Lexus RX350, 2007) engine oil with 6 Litres of Mobil 1 5W30 fully synthetic. Two days after the oil change, I noticed my check engine light was flashing. The car was taken to an auto-workshop immediately where the oil check was found to be extremely low, water was seen gushing out from the exhaust pipe and the car was difficult to start. The auto engineer concluded that the top cylinder gasket was burnt and some of the valves were bad after further check.
The mileage on the car was 180,420; no evidence of oil leakage and the vehicle was not smoky prior to the incident.

The top cylinder gasket and all the 24 valves were replaced. The car is currently running smoothly.
Oando oleum SL 20W50 was suggested to be used for a further oil change by the auto repairer.
Is the suggestion a wise one or not?

PS: The oil change prior to the incident was with the recommended Mobil 1 5w30, however oil shortage was noticed 2 weeks after its change and a top-up with 2 litres was done.

Were you physically with the vehicle when water was coming out from the exhaust?

Did the technician change the air filter and clean the fan and it's compartment? Sometimes dirt can cause alot of problems for the AC. Speaking from experience
Yeah, a clogged Pollen filter can restrict air from getting into the cabin.

Good evening my boss, so I went to see a technician and complained about the issue I have with my car, he said the gas was low, so we refiled the gas and I payed him for it. But the next day I noticed I was still having the same problem, AC doesn't blow cold air while on idle and starts blowing cold air while I'm in motion.
Can you please recommend a good technician to fix it for me in benin? Thank you

My oil life percentage got to 0% really fast, and I have only driven like 2000 miles after changing the oil in September.

In fact, it's now at -50.

But the oil level on the dipstick is still much but thw dashboard oil life percentage is already low.

Must i change the oil ASAP?

Your thoughts please Collione luvinhubby, kingreign, heavenlybang, presegs
You probably didn't do a reset the oil was changed.

Writing down the mileage at the point of change and schedule the next change at a particular mile helps with keeping tabs.

What grade of oil did you use

Good evening house,please I’m thinking of going into car importation but I want to start small and see how it turns out for me…but someone advices I try accidented cars with little damage not damaged to the engine but body or the boot that fixing it won’t cost me a lot I don’t know if that’s true I need assistance on how I can begin but I would like to start with a less expensive car…Thanks
Car importation is capital intensive. It will tie your money down most of the time.

The best and safer route is if you get people to pay part payment for a vehicle of their choice before importing. Of course, there is a wait period.


If you really want to go into it, start with flipping Nigerian used cars, buy cheap. Some are with bad engines with great body, or people who just want to upgrade their vehicles.

The idea is to buy cheap, fix, and sell at a decent amount, of course you can, coz you bought cheap.


If you don't know anything about car repairs,
You might just be bringing business to your mechanic and making little profit with a lot of headache.


Whatever business you are into now, that has made you enough money to want to venture into car importation, I will rather you do more of that.
Getting in a business you know little about is a recipe for village peoples hands

Hi Infiniti/Nissan gurus,

I plan to purchase a 2004 infiniti FX35 soon. What are some of its common problem areas or things that you suggest I look out for during inspection?


And can anyone pls recommend a sound infiniti fx35 mechanic based in Festac or environs to go along with me to diagnose the vehicle?

Thanks.
Get a competent tech to inspect.


- Look out for rust
- Scan and check fault codes
- Test drive, long enough to make to car hot to test the transmission and reveal underlying overheating problem
- Check if accidented
- Any noise from the engine
- Factor in suspension and steering problem
- Check the booth, you will probably see the problem the current owner is experiencing

Most importantly, don't trust the seller or the dealer, and don't be in a rush to pay, do your due diligence. Someone was just about to pay or is on the way, or they are the one to pay na story. If you don't buy, someone else will, and you will always find another vehicle!

Hello house pls how can I differentiate between An American spec and European spec C240 w203. My fuel level in the instrument cluster behaves erratically recently, it remain on 0 level when the car is cold until after the car runs for a while before reading, and I was told the sender unit is responsible. I went to find out the cost of the sender unit from spare part store and was asked if is American or European. Pls how can I know the spec the American spec cost #20k while Europe cost #6k, the price difference is much. Pls see the picture of the sender unit
Check your door jam.

The region of manufacture will be stated.

You can also use the first number of the bin to know.

American spec vehicles start with 1,4, or 5
W is Germany.

So if your VIN starts with 1,4, or 5, it is American spec.


PS: even if you tell them the right spec, they will still give you a wrong unit. Carry your old Fuel Assy to get another.


Best bet is to buy a new Unit, all this American spec or Europe won't play, all you need is your VIN

Send yours, let me see if it is in stock

Guys, Which is the best option

Comprehensive Insurance or Tracker?
Insurance is insurance, tracker is tracker. They serve different purpose!

If you are in this business, and you don't have comprehensive insurance, sorry to say, you are not yet serious with business.
