People run away from Nissans doesn't mean all Nissans are bad. Come on, man, surely that doesn't have to be spelt out?

HeavenlyBang:

Lol. Man's got to eat.
Let him hustle as long as he does it respectfully. It's another product I can break if he doesn't.

Carquest extended filters for N3,285 should be in next week at (I forget)'s request.

Carshopper:

thebigkendo:
Nah Bro, you did it for your pocket bank account.
How much is your oil filter sir?

I gave a prophecy about this during the oil war immediately Aunty Radu mentioned oil filter as part of her package. I knew our resident oil seller would jump into that

Dru23 = hustler
My next prophecy for Drubaba is : full package ie Oil + oil filter + oil change Servicing (by Kazeem) at a price

good now we are getting somewhere.

since the owner would not be willing to tear down his engine and check for weak seals and valves the best path for him to tow would be change of oil, incase you don't know 5w30 and 10w30 are available in mineral oil not only synthetic.

synthetic have detergent that washes off sludge which eventually cloth valves starving engine of oil. But with mineral oil he is safe he just have to check for oil shortage and smoke if he notices both he should maintain his 20w50 until engine dies or if he can afford a replacement/rebuild.

nurey:
we are talking head you are talking tail. Don't only recommend things because you want to make sale recommend based on good intention.

If the engine has sludge and he uses synthetic oil that may be the beginning of the end for that engine. its even better he continues to utilise mineral oil and change regularly

nurey:
You can try MRS full synthetic 5L 5w40 at 12500 naira for your own case.

For your friend he should buy 5w30 or 10w30 preferable he buys 10w30 first and test on his engine before switching to 5w30. if the 10w30 doesn't short oil excessively and no smoke from exhaust then he is good to go next oil change he can then try 5w30. But he must ensure the oil is mineral not synthetic.

mineral oil 5w30 or 10w30 not synthetic blend to before warned is to before harmed.

nurey:
do you think he would be willing to open up the engine to confirm all these. Even the name of the oil brand used says a lot about the maintenance culture of the owner

demulepaul:
How much for this

demulepaul:
Plz is Mobil 1 5w30 ok to use

demulepaul:
am sure the engine has valve, piston worn out ..so any good oil will likely coz oil shorten, more like medication after death...


He's not experiencing any of these things you mentioned here, he's car fire like Turbo. can he switch to 5w30 on his next oil change

Jomandi13:
I recently went through a Honda vehicles repair site and FRAM oil filter was recommended for Honda Accord 07.Do you still have it and for how much?

1zynnvn:
He can't compete with uber/taxify that's why, not charity bla bla bla..

demulepaul:

That was a nice analysis.

Right now, the business is more like a means to an end and not really a good investment based on the fact that it would take a long time to break-even except you are driving the car yourself. Why should I invest 2.5m in a business only to get back my capital in 72weeks (72weeks is highly impossible when you factor in wear and tear, lastma, police, health related issues, theft etc) and my profit is whatever is left of the car. I would rather invest such amount in a biz that would give me 100% in less than a year...
[b[b]]You can invest if you are getting a sound car at a relatively cheap price but spending 2.5m to invest in uber/taxify is a no no.[/b] [/b]If you have noticed, Gazzuzz used to have more than a certain number of cars on the platform but right now be has reduced it, same as Dru and other silent investors.

E-hailing isn't a good investment for quick cash (Investor's point of view) ...

Very sound analysis, wish all would be partners are learning this. When I say Uber Don cast, e don cast except for two categories
1. Partner driver
2. Very solid Nigerian used car.
I know a lady that lives in Asokoro, works in Asokoro, with fantastic roads (not Lagos roads) her Matrix is such in an excellent condition put up for sale, infact, she's was shocked getting an asking price above the cost price 4 years ago.
