Interesting. I feel you. Me I'm already writing a fiction book inspired by my experience as a uber driver. It is inspired by...although some of the stories are true, I try to change some things to avoid any wahala in the future.

Biodun1929:
I picked her up from one dark road around Olowu in Ikeja, and then she asked me to make a detour that she wants to buy something. The girl was young...probably like 21 or 22, and dressed like a tomboy. She wasnt the regular kind of girls i pick up at that time of the night, Omo...na so we make a few turns and ended up in one weed spot with many rough looking guys outside (mostly junkies). When she went to get the stuff, I thought it was a set up cos she took too long to come out and the guys were looking at my car. Then one of the guys approached me and tried to forcefully open the door. I wound down and asked why he was struggling with my door. I later found out he was a junkie that was very hungry. I gave him Gala and he left.

When the girl came out, he grabbed her by the arm and they spoke briefly. The girl later told me the guy used to be her guy, and was doing very well till he got hooked on drugs. We gisted throughout the journey from ikeja to ikotun, and it felt I was gisting with a younger sister at some point. And then when we got to the drop off spot, which happened to be a hotel, the guy she was going to meet came out...and before she dropped, she said in a low voice, "pray for me, this is my first time doing this." The whole encounter was just really weird.

This guy is dead and gone, even if they sentence these three evil demons to death, the Uber guy will not come back to life.
If u work at dead of night, don't carry more than 1 person.

As God dey protect us, make we use our head too. No trip should be too juicy for u to risk ur life.
Infact its juicy trips that they use to lure a driver.

I hope you've run (or you are about to run) those tests with your mechanic.

You seem to have a preference for 0w 20 oil. Was this oil used exclusively by previous owners?

What you first of all need to be sure of is if your engine already had problems - if there are ring (or other) issues, then you will have oil consumption problems no matter which oil you use. Is your engine the 2AZ FE or 2AR FE?? Your technician needs to let you know the state of your engine and find out why it is consuming oil.

As for the oils, I think they are all good lubricants. You can get Motul from Infinity petrol stations and service centres but they are not that many around. You can get Shell Helix Ultra from Enyo petrol stations while Castrol petrol stations sell Magnatec and their other Castrol brands. I bought Aisin, Mobil 1 and Pennzoil from some well known dealers here on this platform. I also bought Liqui Moly from an independent dealer a long time ago.

Some toyota engines came from the factory with oil consumption problems - the 2AZ FE is one of them. The rings are some metal parts of the engine that (if they are working properly) prevent 'excessive' oil consumption. The problem is that 'excessive' means different things to different people. Apart from extreme cases where old or faulty engines are literally drinking oil, a lot depends on the engine designer. Some manufacturers (usually German) design some of their cars to consume oil in quantities that may seem 'excessive' in other brands e.g. Toyota.

Having said that, your vehicle is a high mileage vehicle - and high mileage vehicles do tend to consume more oil, because their engines have suffered more wear and tear. The first thing that needs to be done is to get your mechanic to check the vehicle and do compression or leakdown tests (these tests will let you know if something's wrong with the rings and other metal bits).

You need to know the state of the engine before focusing on the oil alone. If you engine is badly worn, it will still drink oil heavily - no matter whether it is Hardex, Motul or Aisin oil.

Get the compression/leakdown test results and then we can begin to ask questions such as the viscosity of the Hardex used during your oil change and whether or not to switch brands.

Good Day Boss
Please I use Camry 2011
I just tried hardex I don’t even know if I got the original or fake but I have driven less than 1500miles, and I notice on my oil gauge that it’s already low. Changed oil at about 261,000. I’m sitting at 262,255 now and oil is low.


Please which of this mentioned list do you suggest I try next since you also use similar vehicle and where can I get it from sir ??

I use Motul 8100, Shell Helix Ultra, Aisin, Castrol Magnatec and Pennzoil Platinum Ultra at the moment. I have also used Mobil1 and Liqui Moly in the past.

Dont be a hater bro. If u failed in life doesn't mean d world failed with u. If u have checked my posts for the past 3 yrs you will see what ave posted. I have always posted my earnings.

Bro. Driving helped me japa. That's my story. Ask questions and don't be naive and ignorant that u r suffering doesn't mean everyone is suffering.

Few guys have dealt with me here and know. No cap check my previous post and @gobuchinny moniker as I control both accounts.

Noone here is ur child or boy wen speaking next time address elders with respeck.

All I do is encourage flocks. Heck if u own a good car u will live above average in Nigeria. Abi how many people earn 1m a month. I did consistently for months before travelling.

And if u further doubt I'll dust up my apps and look for my previous earnings and post on here.

Don't be a clown bro

AutoConsult:
This my oga deserves a nice gift from AutoConsult this December 😀😀♥️

Djdamian:
Yes you can, the person I referred to you AutoConsult, inspected and delivered my last car purchase. Same Honda civic 08.

Djdamian:
Seems you are mixing up Ajibaiye and dreezy007 situation.

The former is in pondering if his Corolla 2010 model is ideal for the hustle and also his situation with his friend. The latter is willing to buy a vehicle but he wants a reliable one within 4-5m range and he is opting for Honda civic.

Note, not all Nigerian used vehicles are DOA, I take care of my vehicles just like I take care of my wife.

Glithronix:
Dem say Honda Civic 03 - 07 is the best alternative to Corolla and cheaper.
4m max should get you a perfect civic, I think.


Much respect, boss.

Obedibombedi:
You get it.
I change tyres every 10,000 miles.
I still have extra set of tyres, waiting for the rear tyres to go bad.

I spend 85k for 5w20 synthetic and 10k for Bosch oil filter that will last me 15,000 miles.

I spend with pride on my sedan cos I know what it generates.

My SUV Sits at home year in and out. Only goes out for offline. Yet I dont spend on it like my daily driver sedan. (Mind you, it generated 600k in January alone at zero maintenance).

If you are making over 1M monthly, spending less than 200k on your car shouldn't bulge you.
