Dovehorizon:
Ohhh ok but still won't erase the fact that some naija cars are better than some tokunbo cars

Felicity001:
@ radautoworks, apropos the MRS graduate trainee job you posted earlier the email has been returning failed deliveries I've tried to follow MRS on twitter to see if I can have the right email but still waiting for a response.

@ dru23, boss I've thought through the offer you suggested [/b]the other day which is about selling your elantra and I must say I've great interest but dont have any money to buy outrightly at the moment. My family and I will be grateful as always if you would benevolently agree to [b]drive to own as you know I never defaulted in the few months of our partnership.

Despite the corona virus pandemic which brought a lot of challenges along side, my family and I are still and always be grateful and won't forget the good moments.

I anticipate a favourable response from you.

Regards
We@D_felicity001s

I thought u said u can never buy a naija used car?
A statement u don't waste time to make.

When I read it, I smiled.

What you don't know is, some naija used cars are better than some tokunbos.

2 years ago, I was able to visit the house of a certain late Inspector General of Police, they had a car to sell, trust me when I tell u that the car would pass for toks despite bin in Nigeria for more than 12years.

Hello sir, I've been tagging along on this thread for a little while now and to be honest it's been a great experience all the way. I'm looking forward to joining the e-hailing hustle soon (NOTE: I have no prior knowledge of owning or maintaining a car) reason I need your Input on key decisions as I'm considering a Honda civic for the job. I'll be glad if with your permission I'm allowed to have your email for easier communication.. Thank you sir

No oh my Oga, we’re not questioning manufacturer’s recommendation here naw

We’re just debating ‘the effects of 20W50 weight of oil and it’s prolonged use in an engine’ ... dazzall

Don’t worry, tomorrow we’d have more information and material evidence to further our discussion/research

an0daGuy:
Well you’re right about the condensation factor and water coming out the tailpipe of cars.

Don’t worry, since I’m in lag now I’d go tomorrow morning and check the odometer of the car then take a pic down the oil fill hole to see if there’s sludge. As I said this car was, is and will still be his daily driver so I’m certain he’s raked up enough miles on that particular engine.

I’d mention you once I’ve done these things then we’d know more and get some first hand info on this topic.

Also driving a car in a city, stop and go traffic is harder on an engine than having it do mostly highway miles. So in case you want to say that a car driven mostly within a city isn’t as abused as one always on the road traveling then you’d have to think again.

For what it’s worth ...concerning engine oil shortage and 20W50 weights of oil

My dad purchased a new tear nylon Toyota car from mandilas in 2004 and after the usual warranty period where he was taking the vehicle in to the dealership for services (like one year or so) he started using Mobil XHP 20W50 since 2006 till date. It’s a daily driver and he uses it with air conditioning too.

This car does not short oil, engine is still powerful, water drops from tail pipe in the mornings after starts and engine top has never been opened. I don’t know if there’s sludge in it as I’m yet to peep into the fill hole.

He changes his oil religiously at every 3000 kilometers.

From this case study, I think a viscosity of oil damaging your engine is only possible when you don’t change it out on time (not for newer engines).

He is experiencing a slight drop in mpg though, maybe it’s from other factors or it may be the oils viscosity.

Slickleo:
Does he drives like Hamilton

deedee44:
Why are you selling sir?

hillso7:
Mr Dru,
I need the Pennzoil and filter, what's the discount and where do I pick up?

Olayetan:
Currently, my car RPM is high, I observed other cars I've been driving, once I start the engine, the RPM will be on 0 unless I raise the engine but this my current car, the RPM is little higher above 1 and it's been like that for 4 months I've been using the car, I've never touch anything on this car since I picked it up, I only do service, I've not even changed brake pad or linkages.

But it doesn't shorten oil and I drive 4k miles before I change the oil, reason why I let it reach 4k is because the mechanic in charge said we should not being the car when it's not up to a month we change the oil and I realized I drive 1k miles within a week.

Felicity0001:
One love bro... How is business and family Sir?

Best regards Sir.

Felicity0001:
God bless you for this.

I remember when my former car was shortening oil I took it to radautoworks and the first question I was asked was "what's the millage of the car? 165kmiles I said. This same advice was suggested to me by the professional but my boss refused then we finally changed valve seal and pvc valve as well, though it reduced the oil shortening but didn't eliminate it totally, we still kept on topping with 1ltr at every 1000miles.

Same way its good to follow manufacturer's advice is same way its also good to follow professional's and experience advice.

Thanks. Mail sent.

Abeg all man 4 e kettle, as 4 me na Mobil 2000 semi synthetic sure pass

Slickleo:
All dis argument na wa, engine is burning oil because it is developing a fault wich u knw so 20w50 surviving more Dan 5w30 on oil burning engine doesn't make it beta only dat it is thinker.

Ask ur self if u buy a direct tokunbo of that same car or brand new will u use 20ow50 or 5w30

radautoworks:
The average american car is 8 years old. How many Nigerians can keep a car 8 years without changing engine?

radautoworks:
dru! DRU!! DRU!!!

Did you not say you have finished with oil matter in 2021? This your new year resolution wey no make am past January nko?

Gentlelife50:
Bros don't be offended ooo, what's so special about hybrid cars? I discouraged someone from buying it, he later went ahead to purchase it today. He said he saw someone using it
