falzthebadguy:.. Lol .... People bought oil from me on nairaland with my naija number... so there is nothing to hide ... and u and I know that I have a lot of haters on the forum, due to my honesty.. And most nairalander ,don't like an outspoken person.. I will always give my honest opinion on these forum and it rub a lot of people the wrong way . Do u know that at one point in the time ,somebody called my contact and said that am a trouble maker on nairaland and person hang up the phone.. So imagine I post my contact now, omo my phone will not stop ringing and getting harass.. That is the last thing I need for my phone to ringing nonstop ... |
Kewtt:If u follow my thread on uber at least a year ago ...I have drawn my experience for any potential partners.. I had manager before that was stealing and chopping money ,parts ,carry woman on my money left and rite. Omo long story... so now it is under new team ...I had to restructure my business over again.. This will always happen when u enter into a new business, and especially if you are not hands on ...it was a great experience, am short of saying I have seen it all from drivers, accidents, managers, mechanic etc ...if anyone thinks they will start business and within six months you start making profit, you are fooling yourself o ....u g through learning curve.. You develop a brand ,takes time and patience...

lagostaxiguy:We spoke before and u even called me from my naija number ..u said u will call me back ...I never hear from you after that o ..so just drop a number I can call u from... am still having issue getting in into my email ..since I try so many times am logged out ... I need my international number to be active, so that I can send a code to verify my email bro ....can't do anything now till I get back to the states.. Bottom line I need my USA number to be active, which is not now ...if it was active my email server will now send a code to my USA number ..with that code I will now use it to open my email ..since I tried to use it many times am logged out for security reasons.. Just send me a number now that I can call.. |
ameristu:Keep in mind ,am drawing my experience as a uber partner that has business in Nigeria |
radautoworks:Oga Aunty, how far ? How body o |

How my uber partners doing? Your number 1 engine oil is still avaliable... Mobil extended performance 5w30, 0w20, 5w20 all at a great price ..... .. Just topping my elantra that was "ring" ... this is after 3k miles after the rebuilt.... It shot oil a little bit ,but the engine is still doing ok ..... My only worries is coolant... cars need good coolant in their engine life....

abibun:O boy....that is not a good look at all ...I had similar issues with my elantra ...the oil was shorten and there is was no leak to be found.. My driver kept topping oil every three weeks ,after a month.. The topping turn to every week or so .. Omo I had to ring the engine ... So in your case omo u have to either ring the engine or buy new engine... those cars require proper maintenance, and most Nigerians can't maintain regular Toyota cars ,so na luxury cars dey want maintain... goodluck bro.. Wish u the best |
istephen:Great minds think alike.... I plan on bringing premix down in few weeks.. At a very friendly price for everybody... please stay tuned.. |
ameristu:Most Nigerians can hardly maintain normal cars ...so na hybrid cars dey want use for uber and ehailing things.. I weep in secret for my fellow Nigerians .... |
alstarmayo:A big thank you for your continuous patronage this past weekend...
|
Collione:Yes |
eagleeye2:No problem... ....for future sake, try and invest in better coolant. Look for sellers that import the real stuff ..you can find them on nairaland... I had bad experience looking for coolant.. Am hoping my cars will manage themselves till I import my own |
eagleeye2:.. My personal advice ...just buy new engine... just close your eyes and buy new engine...... The elantra that was ' ring' I bought most of the parts for it in USA pic bellow.... And the mechanic that did the ringing is pretty gud, I like his wrk... but at the same time, am keeping my fingers crossed that the car will last me till I want sell am ..that is my wishful thinking... Once a mechanic starts messing around the engine of a car.. My brother just know that you are playing with fire ...with the use of fake parts in the country, that engine most likely will never be the same ...the mechanic that my car, he said he has never seen original parts like mines before.. He said and I quote " he no dey for market at all " . I try and advocate for people to just do basic car maintenance. But most will tell me na because I want sell market to them . So those that will take advice, will take advice.

Good day nairalander ... I met a fellow uber partner few days ago ... I try educating this uber partner about his car overheating problem... I ask him basic questions like does he use coolant or water... he said he uses water ...I said to the young man, oga use coolant nxt time o. It will reduce the wear and tear on your engine... He said to me that because I sell engine oil , I want to sell him coolant too ... I said well I don't have coolant to sell for now ,but I will start selling soon .. The young man just looked at me like I want scam... I just left him to be ... we do have a very long way to go in this country.. I hope the link below help.. https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.redplum.com/blog/post/120522/how-to-keep-your-car-from-overheating-this-summer&ved=2ahUKEwi9zszlnbreAhWLBsAKHYQKBxwQFjABegQIDBAE&usg=AOvVaw10_FZCzxPpPVTGIDLAKyeN&cshid=1541317177681 |
eagleeye2:Wish you the best of luck bro ...that engine will need to be rebuilt or replace... do basic maintenance on your car ..your car and wallet will thank you. https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.redplum.com/blog/post/120522/how-to-keep-your-car-from-overheating-this-summer&ved=2ahUKEwi9zszlnbreAhWLBsAKHYQKBxwQFjABegQIDBAE&usg=AOvVaw10_FZCzxPpPVTGIDLAKyeN&cshid=1541317177681 |
eagleeye2:My guess is that the engine is gone ...this is one of the major reason I tell people to use coolant ...using coolant would have prevented this problem.. ..the major function of a coolant is to help cool down the engine.. Coolant works a lot better than water... so imagine just water alone boiling inside the radiator, it is over working engine and you will end up replacing the radiator. The picture below is for my 07 elantra... I had to spend 150k to "ring" the engine ..smoke was coming out and oil drying up very fast.. But I was fast enough before further damage. If you look at the picture below, on the top of the engine is the thermostat.... You see how rusted it is ..this is due to the use of water instead of coolant... so I had to buy another for 5k and spending a total 7k plus workmanship.... Don't be penny wise and pound foolish

HenryWilliams:We can agree to disagree ...so in that case with Mobil extended performance will change oil at 10k miles on severe driving condition ....now flap that on the other side... what will be the oil interval if using mineral oil either on normal driving or severe driving.... |
[quote author=GistFullGround post=72593712]Give it 5 years or less... Nigerians are too dirty and don't cherish good things![/quote You shall live long ] |
Basher8583:I don't agree with the guy that says give it 5 years... I will say give it 6months ... we Nigerians don't value maintenance culture at all ...until we put value on those things, will continue to fail in every aspect on things... I was driving through third mainland bridge few days ago. The first thing that came to mind.. How are they maintaining this bridge? I shook head and continue driving... |
helpishere:My brother even if there is good engine oil . How many will actually buy it ? We Nigerians just like to Manage things... simple things like coolant they refuse to buy it... |
Folorunsjo:Ha .. I hope they hear o...... People don't realize the importance of coolant in their cars ..especially uber partners... |
