Please gurus, i just bought a Honda Civic 2007 with 155k mileage. 5W20 or 5W30, Please which is most perfect for it and which brand do i go for cos i know there are lots of brands. Also the best recommendable Transmission fluid.

See what my car manual says but I can't interpret it well. I need you guys to help with the interpretation.

thanks

Yours must be European model.. 5w30 is ok to use for the Nigerian weather especially extreme hot tempt..

Now below is the 2007 USA owners manual.. 5w20 is the recommended oil for all weather.. For the sake of the engine don't use the ever popular Nigerian oil of 20w50.. If you use you are on your own o ..

Lately people have been asking me if the Honda Civic is a good car for uber... Yes this is one of the best cars for uber.. Again my advice is get a civic from 03 to 05.. When buying civics check to make sure the transmission is ok ..

Now below is a Tokunbo civic via coparts , that I will be adding to my fleet ... please keep in mind at times it gets very expensive at times. I do have my own budget that I try to stick to .. So far have been very lucky getting it at my budget.....

RUST : Rust has been a topic lately and I try to keep in my mind anytime I buy a car .. Now the car was driven in a state that snows.. Taking pictures of the underneath as much as I can with my phone.. Overall the rust level is not that bad ,as a matter of fact the previous took good care of the car .. The spare tire at the boot of the car is in excellent shape.. I don't think it has been used .. But the car jack has a bit of rust.. ( I forget to take pictures of it ). So overall am very happy to add another civic to my fleet ..

Conclusion: Honda Civic 03 to 05 are great cars for uber. When buying one check the transmission and the underneath for rust .... Take your time when buying one avoid rust and if possible avoid naija used cars or civic..

So someone living in America had to type "snow is salty"WTF!!! .

It is not how the message was delivered that matters ..but did you get the message?.

USA cars are prone to salt or rust.. But Canadian cars are more prone to rust... That been said whether the car is USA ,Japan ,Europe.. Owners should make sure that the underneath of the car does not have much rust.. Have bought cars from the USA that the rust was so bad , the frame of the car was driving coffin...

Snow.... It is correct that snow does not have salt, the salt not the ones you cook with .. Is used to melt the snow and spread on the road, highways and others parts of the road.. It is called snow salt...the city hires truck owners to spread the salt ...

Snow without salt itself is bad for cars.. If your car is buried under snow, the water that leaks from the snow if left long enough will expose .. your car to rust .. Water is a Catalyst to rust.. So for us doing the snow period, when it snows on our car ,we make sure we wipe the snow off to prevent exposure from rust.

Conclusion: water, snow, salt are not good for cars.. Water from the snow is a Catalyst to rust.. If your car is buried long enough under snow, it will rust

Ps.. When water is trapped and it can not dry.. It causes rust forming ... so if car is buried with snow or has a lot of snow ,not salt o ..just snow, and their is no where for the water to dry ..what will happen ? You exposing the car to rust.

[quote author=GAZZUZZ post=82933500][/quote]Yes there is some form of salt used to melt the snow during the snowing season... but keep in mind from experience , my very first 03 civic was covered in snow.. The owner stated that the car was parked for months.. The car was buried in snow for months and he didnt have time to clear the snow.. So by the time winter was over the booth of the car was rusted ,the car jack was rusted. That car will not pass inspection... the water from the snow must have caused the rust.. Either way snow is not good for a car ... I don't let snow sit on top of my car too long ..

I disagree. A car can be made in Japan and shipped to Canada

Am not clear what u disagree on ? Whether the rusted highlander can't be from the USA or Origin of car vin#..

USA cars are capable of rust just like cars from Canada ..but it snows more in Canada than USA.. Example My civic 04 that I bought Tokunbo for uber.. When the car landed my mechanic complain of too much rust underneath. He said the car will not last.. And I bought it from coparts auction. At times cars from auction especially during the winter time. Will sit and sit and it is covered with snow for months before been sold.. And snow is very salty and damages the car much faster.. So when it snows in USA people rush to the car wash very fast so that the snow will not eat up their cars.. This is when car wash companies make a lot of money during the snow season...

Conclusion: USA cars are not prone to rust like Canadian cars , but it does not mean that USA cars are rust free.. It is the responsibility of the buyer to make sure that when buying a car whether USA or Canada to check the underneath... now people buying cars from auction site ,when it comes to checking for rust .. you are on your own be that o .. When I buy cars from private individuals. There is a reason for it .. For example cars from Texas, Florida, Las Vegas, Arizona, New Mexico just to name a few, will have no rust ,because those states barely or even get snow... but those places are from the port ..so shipping or towing will cost more.. So if any Nigerian want a free rust car, they should go and look for one themselves....

Vin# .......if u want to know where ur car was made. Open driver side door and look for the Vin# and on it it will say where the car was made. If the car was made in Japan it will say so . Japan vin# usually start with a J than follow by numbers . Very easy... cars that are made in Japan are sold in the USA will say made in Japan too ..very easy ..

Why am I so passionate about vehicles from a particular region? Well I see studf like this every week, in most cases I have to reject the jobs, to fix this vehicle properly will be very very expensive, entire subframe and suspension parts will have to be replaced, brake lines will have to be replaced what ever savings this client thought he had by going the Canadian route is gone on very expensive repairs.

Before you pay for any car ,inspect the under carriage

I have gone through the link and I will rather buy Total Ineos than to buy any of these oils that you are advertising here. The 5w30 is an Api sl and it is petrol and diesel spec. Total is Api SN, Oando is Api SN but are diesel and gasoline spec. Api sl is still valid in most Toyota cars but SN is backward compatible. Honda cannot use the oil ditto Toyota as it is only eod that might use it but Eod needs gasoline engine oil only ditto Toyota.
For a European spec oil that is not meant for the US auto industry to be used in Nigeria that uses US automobiles, then it is dead on arrival.

My brother you are very correct . People don't know that oils are formulated to meet certain criteria of where the car is made ... European engine oil are formulated for European cars ....

I’ve used Elantra and love it. Pls if you want to sell this or put on rental later. Let me know! Thanks .

And yes you’re right , car issues may be due to how we handle cars and part.

I used a Honda Civic twice... aside few electrical change... I had noooo complains whatsoever. And it’s very fuel efficient

I mainly use Honda civics 03 to 05 for uber rental.. Very study and strong cars . Never had any issue even during the raining season the car still did very well .. The maintenance on that car is God sent.. The engine is very strong .. When it comes to civic the most important thing is to treat the engine with the rite oil ...it will return the favour 10 times over ...

Yes I do have two elantra on rental.. One of my driver use to drive a corolla.. But he loves the elantra and he says the elantra has good a/c system better than the corolla.... Strong cars ,Corolla might be stronger ,but the elantra is not a push over at all .. The koreans really try have to take my hats off to them .. But due to the high cost of buying Tokunbo Elantra for uber .. I don't buy them no more too expensive.. I just stick to the civics ,is not like the civics are that cheap o ,but have been very lucky to get them at a good price ..very lucky

Just manage it till u raise money to get another car. Honda is a problematic car, that's is the bitter truth. Car is too fragile, if u think i am lying, how many 09 Honda do u see on uber? So many people are using 09 camry/corolla on uber without issues. My friend using Honda is always complaining of one noise or another. Leg pulling today, fuel pump tomorrow, gear box a day after & so on...i have advice him to start thinking of another brand when he wants to change it.

My brother I have to respectfully disagree with you ..In my experience when it comes to Japanese cars or most cars in general.. There are no bad cars as much as bad car owners... also most tokunbo parts been used in Nigeria, will never be used in the develope world ...some parts are so worn out by the time u used for another car it will not last at all .. Guys like u will now conclude that the car is fragile due ...
Another example is my 08 elantra needed bushings.. I call junk yards in the USA .. I told them I needed used bushings for my cars.. The guy thought I was crazy and asking crazy questions .. He said we don't sell used bushings, you need to buy brand news ...certain things like bushings should never be bought used ..people buy them used and afther some times guys will say that car is shaking, car not strong etc.. When the parts you use has already pass its life expectancy...
