Well the issue of type of oil type will continue to rage and I agree with dru and Gazzuz. However maintenance is key. My father uses big daddy since 2015 and the car is still as sound as ever because he has only covered 13000miles in four years, he uses Mobil 1 or whatever, that type they sell 4k or so and he services every 3months till I forced him to change every 6 months as a compromise.

Personally I use full synthetic and I usually change after 5000miles when the 'maintenance required' light comes up, but now I will extend it to 7,500miles, the 18,700 oil no be small money o.

I'm buying a tokunbo....do you know any good car importer in Lagos that sell nor accidental car?

zubby147:
Thanks so much sir....you the best...
will go for the toyota corolla 05...

Gentlelife50:
As for your question Sir, I change oil every 3000-3500 miles. Depending on how the spirit ministers to me, and I also take into consideration the traffic because while the car is stationed or idle it is steaming

Anytime I service I set trip and watch it

Gentlelife50:
But wait ooo, can you allow your car go roughly 12,000 kilometers without changing it plus the oil filter?
In this busy Lagos or as an ehailing driver? Just asking ooo

Gentlelife50:
You can't fight it, a lot of people use the regular Mobil
Unless the few partners that service their cars by themselves and they want to take good care of their cars according to you apart from that most Uber drivers buy Mobil and pour there and it have been serving them at least for now.

Gentlelife50:
This oil issue sometimes is overrated, just use the regular oil most people use and service promptly. That's what matters, especially as an Uber driver.
The point is service car promptly, not serving on time kills the engine faster.

That way the Engine lasts for years, abi the car go outlive you?
If the engine spoil after some years buy another one

Will send u an email later today, I need a compressor for Toyota Corolla 2004. How much will it cost and when can I get it?

GentleChief:
Am aware. Its just that the ones am seein on Nairaland says 17,000 abi 18,000

I don't have that kind of money to be spendin on oil monthly

Thats why am asking for good 5w30 alternatives to the 18k own. Am not saying I won't use the 5w30. I will use it but not the 18k own. I need the basic ones uber drivers use

Or do drivers use 18k oils

GentleChief:
Guys please I have an 04 camry. Whats the best oil to use and service it for optimum performance?

I don't need all those very expensive oils. I need a good oil that serves well but not pricey.

Please camry bolt uber drivers, whats the basic oil I can go for?

The engine cap has 5w30 written on it? Is that what I should use?

NB
The car is a Tokumbor and this is the first servicing.

Tyche:
Much appreciation Dru. My servicing needs for the season has been taking care of.

For this king gesture, will make my next order from you, though I am in Abuja

nitigriti:
Yesterday afternoon at the office (we work on Saturdays!), I ordered a Bolt for a customer that flew in from Abuja. It was a courtesy ride for the customer and it was to take him from our office to his hotel in Lekki.

As soon as Bolt rider came, I told him the company was paying for the trip. Trip estimate is #2400-#3000. I asked him, should I give him #3000 cash upfront, let him do the trip and once he ends the trip, if the fare is less than #3000, he can take the change. If however the trip fare is more than #3000, then he can call me and I can transfer the balance to him. He said the arrangement would not work for him; so I asked if he would do the trip and I then transfer the trip fare to him at the end of the trip. He agreed to that.

Patrick did the trip and about three hours later, he ended it. Then he called me. "Oga, the trip has ended. Your guest has gotten to the hotel. The trip fare is #4,900." I told him "Ok, hold on; let me check my trip receipt." I checked, I didn't see any receipt. I called him back and told him, "I can't see any trip receipt. Are you sure you've ended the trip?" He said he ended the trip but did not confirm it because I had not paid him yet. I told him this is me ready to transfer #4900 to him, but that I need to see the receipt. And besides, you know my office in case I scam you. He didn't agree to confirm the trip. We argued on confirming or not confirming the trip for more than 40 minutes on the phone. He didn't agree. I then told him I'm not calling him again until I see a trip receipt. I then sent him a series of messages in the app requesting that he confirms the trip and also send his account details so I can pay the #4900 trip fare.

The guy confirmed the trip after 45 minutes. I got my trip receipt a few minutes later. My trip receipt reads #2,600.

So I called the idiot and asked him how much he called the fare was again. He said #4900. I told him my trip receipt is reading #2600. He said the trip was on surge, that didn't I know? I told him, Oga, if the trip was on surge, I will know at the time I ordered. The trip wasn't on surge. He insisted that the trip fare is #4900. I said Okay, he shouldn't worry. I will transfer the #2600 I can see on the trip receipt and that he should report me to Bolt for not paying the rest. The guy now said something like he can never take that. That in fact, he's coming to my office to cause trouble.

That just got me annoyed.

I told him that I would report him and this trip to Bolt and I will not pay him anything until I hear from Bolt since he wants to be fraudulent by force.

deedee44:
Okay. How can I place my order

dicksonadams:
Awon team dru ti de

calabardick:
In case like this you should have simply ask him to send you the snapshot of his app that shows the claimed amount.
Please don't withhold his money.



For days now dru23 have been preaching about customer's relationship, and that remind me of the story JohnWell put here about approach, humility and appearance.

I don't do bolt but severally I've heard of complaints here concerning the app misbehaving, if he encountered any problem he should've politely explain it to the rider.

I still insist that this job approach is the paramount.

Tyche:
There's a consistent cash flow for him, also the entrance of Ocar gave ehailing a new lease of life.

johnwell:
I understand you but Sometimes fire for fire isn't the best. Sometimes it's better to ignore someone that wants to maltreat you, it hurts when you're silent on them, it makes them mad.

BAZ001:
I keep wondering how u make money in dis uber biz

From the link posted by dru23,

" Police were called to the KFC on Oct. 28 after 33-year-old Jonelle Dare reportedly SHOT AT the WINDOW"

There was shooting in this case but nobody was shot. No casualty. Read the article well.
There is difference between shot and shot at.

Secondly, the link Posted stated "Witnesses say it was because she didn't receive a fork and napkin with her order". Not SAUCE

So i stand by my statement :

"No such story of a drive through employee been shot because of sauce on the internet"

lograr:
Who was taken to jail? customer or employee?

lograr:
Its an investigative question. I know why i asked. No such story of a drive through employee been shot because of sauce on the internet. Not to talk of shot dead. There have been shooting no doubt. Google is your friend

Prince3:
Lol this your question shaa, though let me ansa you. Cause I know no one will want to reply u..

Yes the employee was taken to jail after she was shot dead, am sure next time she won't forget whatever a customer order for else she will be shot dead again and taken to jail and maybe this time life sentence...
Hope I have answered your question naw...
