IWealthCreator:
The day your mechanic knows you are using your car for uber or taxify businesss... that is the day you have entered into an unsigned partnership agreement with you mechanic. He would never do predictive/preventive maintenance on your vehicle, even when he should advice, he just plays dumb, waiting for the massive damage to be done, so that he can continue the unsigned partnership agreement. Never tell you mechanic that you are using your car for uber services... they actually assume you take home N100k net a week and you expect them to be satisfied with just payment for servicing your car.

The mechanic I use officially is pretty good. I met him personally few months ago ..he is highly educated young man . So I don't have issues with him .. And also on my part I make I use full synethic USA spec Mobil 1 oil on my cars .. This will help reduce stories that touch... and also the elantra engine is a very strong engine, just make sure u take care of it ..everything like bushings, linkages, shocks, ball joint etc are easy things that a mechanic can diagnosis...
But once a the engine starts messing up ...it will now be a mechanic's play ground.. I don't care how good a mechanic is ,once they start messing with the engine, the engine will never be the same .. Uber partners need to use the rite engine oil on their cars...
And also I pray that my transmission don't pack up on me ..the reason is every car uses specific transmission fluid, which is specifically reccomended by the manufacture... and honestly I just go with my mechanic advice on that. Maybe I should start importing my own transmission fluid..
And also learning from nairaland, I realise that it is better to use coolant instead of water in your radatior .. Water will cause rust and the radiator will start leaking in due time... so people with these simple preventive measures, why can't we abide by it to avoid been then mechanic best friend or better yet avoid coming to nairaland to ask for a cars diagnosis? The Nigeria way will always be na naija we dey ,we go manage am like that.. It is a corolla very strong car ,the car can take abuse etc.. Until the car finally packs up ..smh

Funny enough we dont know the amount of people leaving the business now ..you can't just come to the conclusion that everyone is doing uber o ,what about the amount of people withdrawing their cars? Can we get data on those ones too.. At the end of the day, maintenance is what will decide who will last in the business

Are u aware that some people will make 35k for one week, and the nxt week will now spend that money on repairs ..how long can person continue doing this.. So people are also pulling out. Look at the raining season, do you know how many owners gave up ? And sold their cars.

WeirdWolf:
Young man, every container, tank, engine that holds fluid (oil) in contact with movable mechanical components must generate sludge or the years, irrespective of the quality of oil. That's why sludge tanks are integral components of engines. Wear and tear occurs in every engine that's what contributes mostly to sludge formation, oil only cools and reduces the we Arabs d tear rate. In my post, I was referring to camry not RangeRover. I don't sell cars, if I will at all in future, it wouldn't be on Nairaland.
The less viscous the oil, the more it has the tendency to pull out debris... Yes, that's why I service regularly and warm the vehicle well before removing the oil. Enjoy.

I see ,even if what u you said was true. Which I highly doubt.. So with your 10kobo oil ,you rather have the sludge to occur in two months than in two years ? Smh bottom line bro use good oil full synethic oil, wheather nay mobil or any brand of oil that has a good track record.. Please don't tell me that you will use 10kobo oil for a brand new car ,well at the end of day please continue using your road side oil. Eventually when your engine starts to act up , that is when we go see people like u asking for advice on how to fix your car ..u will now be at the mercy of mechanic looking for solution to a problem that could have been easily avoided.. Thank you sir and good luck.. I will make sure not to either buy a car from you or advice anyone not to buy from u

Please follow the oil cap advice....

Yes o just ordinary 4k -4500 only... look at what ordinary 4k to 4500 did to my car .. I have fleet of cars on uber, it cost me 25k each on two cars to remove the sludge, and after that I started importing USA spec Mobil oil for my fleet.. That cheap oil u are using now , you will be the cost of it down the line.. So either you going to be penny wise or pound foolish either one you go find out ...people are getting wiser now ,I tell people before you buy any used cars, especially naija used.have your mechanic drop the oil pan of that car ..if you see any signs of sludge in that car ,run for dear life.. It means the car has been abused. That is why I will never encourage anybody to buy naija used cars, all because of 4k oil , you will than damage the car on the long run..
Am sure you go advice person with a 2018 range rover to buy 4k to 4500 oil too or better yet ignore the manufactures advice and use 0w30 instead of 5w20 .. I will keep your moniker on my warning list to avoid you in case you trying to sell cars on these forum.. Smh

It is always best to follow manufacture advice.. If the manufacture stated on the oil cap 0w20 or 5w30 ,why would you use something else? Are you the vehicle manufacture? Or you know better than them ? Smh

Nor be quarrel, he showed you that mobil 1 is advanced full synthetic while Toyota and Honda are synthetic blend. I use synthetic blend oil from Unimark on my Toyota and it is wonderful but claiming synthetic blend to be the same as advanced full synthetic is not correct, they are miles apart.
