Bmaster:
i am sorry to say this,but deborah died as a result of shenanigans.

How on earth is a 200L student not wise enough to know her limits when dealing with people ?

A true christian respects other people's choice of god while technically letting them know about his God(christ) in the most modest way.that's by the way.

I pray the perpetrators of such heinous act be brought to justice.
You lack sense and understanding ...... Regardless of what happen she didn't deserve to die.. Deborah could have been ur sister, mother, Aunty, wife etc she didn't deserve to die.......


Another area that you truly lack more sense is that . The North are highly illiterate people, any religious disagreement with them is blasphemy .......

The word blasphemy gets thrown around easily there that I don't think themselves don't know the true meaning of the word.......

That word gets toss around carelessly that even if u are a Christian you are blasphemy already..... I don't see any reasons why any Christians should even be living in the North... That should be consider a no go area for Christians and non indigene people

When u have a good product and everyone swears by it . unfortunately bad people will try to cash in .......

Most of fake Mobil or engine oil are made in Nigeria. I don't think it is possible to import fake Mobil oil, unless it is coming from China..

Car Talk › Re: Thoughts On Mobil 5w-30 Semi-synthetic Engine Oil by dru23(m): 12:28am On Apr 22, 2022
nymphomaniac:
Good evening guys. What are your thoughts on Mobil 5w-30 semi synthetic?

Been using it for two service cycles now and I noticed by my next oil change(3k miles), the oil is about 3 ltrs left out of 5 and about 6 weeks into oil changes, it no longer gauges appropriately. Car is basically used for about 80 miles per week. There’s no sign of smoking and I have not discovered any oil leakage so I suspect that the oil dries up. It’s a Toyota 1MZ engine with about 177k miles.
That is too much oil burning ... Check the simple things like the PCV valve ... And replace it brand new if necessary. If the pcv valve is bad it will cause oil burn and u will not see where the oil is burning from.....

I advice people to always use full synthetic oil.. Now in terms of oil weight , please and please don't use 20w50. Trying using 5w40 before going anything heavier .. But please check the most common thing first like the pcv....

We do have the 5w40 .. I think we have very few left and goes for 27k .....keep in mind we are the cheapest in the market.....choose wisely

Thanks bro, long time. I can't agree less with all you just said. I was the one who caused the problem from the beginning. The engine giving me this problem, I out of ignorance caused it to have this issue. The engine was less than 100,000km the car was bought brand new by the previous owner and was used to shuttle ikoyi lekki axis. The return holes was not connected to the radiator and the car overheated couple of times. Due to previous knowledge with the car (mercedes) that I was used to driving and never had to worry about return holes I didn't know the importance of that "tiny holes" that lead to the head gasket burning out. And for the 1st time the engine had to be opened to replace head gasket and guess what, that was the beginning of the end of that super clean engine that runs so smooth and quiet with no single smoke from the tail pipe. I go share the entire story soon, cause in the end victory is sure.
You are one of the persons that influenced my decision to buying the civic and I know the vehicle will come out victorious because even with the issue I know how much money I take home as profit when compared to the days I used the mercedes. Peace bro sure you doing well? For a while I wouldn't access nairaland but I'm back now.

Edited

And what of the Moto oil business you running you still into it? I now have a strictly car issue/maintenance channel where we can promote such products. The channel still at infant stage but has even bigger chances of growing exponentially.
Still in business bro.. Demand outweighs the supply.. Give me a buzz during the week and maybe we can cook something up

Good to know u doing well .. Just replace the engine and look for a good grade tokunbo engine.. Buying double cell radiator and double gasket is waste of money.. The engine didn't come with all those extra add on that people are saying u should do ......

The Civic engine can only take so much abuse. And fixing it is not worth it in the long run.. Na to replace engine. Keep us posted on the outcome

Hello nairaland,

I bought a car last year for my online Taxi business which was a decision I had to make in order to save my business from the current economic realities. The car is a Honda civic 2003, I must say the car really helps in terms of fuel economy and cost of replacing damaged parts. But then the car overheats when the sun is out with the AC on, the over heating only occurs on hot days but lately regardless of the surroundings temperature the car overheats after 2 to 3 hours of driving. I have literally tried everything from changing radiator to replacing head gasket to flushing engine block and adding additional fan that comes up when I turn on the AC all these efforts never solved the problem.
In a desperate search for a solution I have taken the car to a very professional mechanic with all gadget and tools needed to give a finally solution.

I am documenting the entire process via YouTube on a channel called CarPalavaFix

Link to the video below ��


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-DcsojCqhA

Please subcribe as I'll upload my progress on this project.

And thanks for the support you all showed me on my previous channel (The Driverpreneur). Really appreciate
I have a fleet of Honda Civic from 2003 to 2005. They are good cars o...

I rarely have overheating issues... If car owners follow owners manual at all times it will greatly reduce your maintenance cost.. Civic were built as a low maintenance vehicles....

That been said, I notice you use water instead of coolant for the radiator .. The use of water instead coolant is a gradual process that will damage your engine....

Now coolant are meant to lubricate and protect the engine from overheating .. Since you are using the car for uber, it means the engine is constantly running and you spend a great amount of time in traffic .. All these factors will greatly contribute to the wear and tear of the engine.. The fact that you use water instead only expedite the wear and tear of engine.. This is a gradual process .......

Even the water that you are using is tap water. The tap water has dirty particles that can clog your water pump and worse it will cause ur radiator to rust .. Water and metal should do not mix well o.

Even if you are going to use water . You supposed to use distill water.. But coolant is ur best bet for best engine protection.....



Conclusion: The best way forward is to replace the engine. Trying to fix the engine at this stage is like throwing money inside fire.. More than likely you will need to get a complete engine.. The use of water has more than likely damage your radiator and water pump..


So instead of half engine , u will need a complete full engine... Failure to do this is a waste of time and money .... A person that cares about you will tell you engine replacement and the ones that are either illiterate or hate u , will tell you to fix engine.. You can only continue to fix engine for so long before the engine packs up..........


Always use the correct engine oil and fluids at all times . And yes civics have almost bullet proof engines, with the right amount of abuse the engine will be gone......


Good luck

Back pain grin Nigerians are their own worse enemy, forget say we get bad leaders......


The White man design the car for a particular reasons. And our naija people will say the White man is wrong and remove it.. The same way they remove thermostats ....

And this ur guy @donforunte48 has been driving without linkages. for 2plus years and counting.. Why he wouldn't have back pain, waist pain etc ...

The linkages are meant to stabilize the car and give you a safer and comfortable balance ride without the wobbling left and ride .....

And he is been driving like that for 2yrs place and couple with death trap bad road.. And this is normal or am I missing something here.......

At this rate of ignorance, Nigerians will start removing 1 of the eyes, kidney, lungs.. Because they only need 1 of each....
