I am learning from the best.

9icetoo:
On the contrary, I am not derailing. Just helping clear the air in a car related problem. I was not selling tokunbo radiator from abroad sir.

Dru and 9icetoo it’s ok. No need to derail the thread.

Why is it a pain if I may ask?

CheerfulGiver:
you should have gone past the stage of motivation. Or is laptop sales booming this period that's keeping you busy? Anyway, motivate yourself. I'll update you on Monday morning. Let's see how the week ends.

Hmmmmm, this is unbelievable. Are you sure this account haven't been hacked?
I pray it's real, what about Felicity?

@Dru23, [s]act your age.
Don't misquote sienna. Nowhere in that deposition did he talk about single core, single cell, double or double cell. Nowhere. Have some shame man. Be original. Quoting sienna out of context is not going to give you credibility. Don't be an idiot.

And rolls Royce will not touch your car if you install double cell (double core) radiator? How we went from Camry to rolls Royce and from radiator to oil is astounding. . The tokunbo or naija used Camry owner is quaking in his boots now. Elizade won't touch his car. [/s]

To your questions to me dru23.
Am I an engineer? Yes
My academic level? MSc
[s]Have I worked for a car manufacturing company? We have assembly companies in Nigeria. Haven't worked for any but I've assembled complex machines and plants for companies who use standards.
Have I .... ..... Foreign cars? Dude, do not think you are a local champion. We have crossed the border too, lived and worked in saner climes with the four weathers winter, autumn, summer and spring. Don't be a dwib.
What brand of weed I smoke? None for now. My work does not permit. Tests are regular. And I hope you have quit too.

Now please shut the Bleep up and let people who know more than you do about this shit make their submissions. Sell your oil in peace. 1. Tokunbo compressor? No shit. We buy those.
2. Synthetic Oil? No shit. We buy those. (You were a Mobil 1 die hard. Market has forced you to reconsider other brands whom you swore were nowhere near Mobil 1 even after being schooled by auntyRadu.

Tokunbo radiator from abroad? On this I draw a line. Sir, you must be an idiot. Get off your high horse.
Who did the freaking test that you are here rambling about? Where are the test results? Where is quality control mark and signature that this was really tested and passed a test? What were the test parameters? What were the acceptable markers?
Was the used plastic subjected to a test under an electron microscope to check for cracks?
Was the core leak tested and to what pressure? What test medium was used and what were the acceptable leak rates? Can I see a pressure time graph for this test?
Was it examined under an x-ray?

I initially said I won't respond but for posterity sake....

Like I said and I will say again, it don't mean jack shit wether it's double core or single core or double cell or single cell. New radiator trumps used radiator. Na why old ones full ladipo. They develop leaks, the plastic covers crack over time and are refurbished.
Go to ladipo and buy double core. You go Waka tire for market.

Lastly, double cell is not meant to cool the engine more.
Let me educate you a little bit.

With an increased surface area, the heat exchange across the radiator is faster. The fans assuming on factory settings spin for a shorter time. Remember the fan is triggered by the ECU via the coolant temperature sensor. As soon as the set temp is reached, the fans shuts off.
Now, coolant performs four main purposes.
1. Increases the boiling point of water. Good for us.
2. Reduces the freezing point of water. We don't need that function here.
3. Lubricates the water pump. We need that too
4. Prevents corrosion of the cooling system. We need that function too.

Now double cell or single cell installation was not made to perform the above functions.
The decision to use water or coolant rests with the car owner.

From what I wrote above, you should be able to deduce that coolant is necessary (if you can see past your nose). I have not advocated that people should not buy coolant from you or anywhere else.

Also please know that it is not a band aid to overheating issues. A car will not overheat just because it was running on only water without coolant. It won't. If it does, the owner should look for the reason his car is overheating in the first place. It is akin to removing thermostat[/s] when the source of the problem has not been resolved.

[s]Now that I have done justice (at least I think I have), I leave you in peace.

Cheers mate.[/s]

Nobi Today.
I've always known that you're a good man.

ksmart027:
Haaa, dru23 don raise flag oo, baz001 were art thou.

BAZ001:
Thank you for your honest contribution, I don’t know how someone will just assume a particular model of car shorts oil everyday.

For The AC gas go for American Freon from Dru23, he should still have in stock. It’s better for your American car

My Mecho buys the WS from reliable source according to him if I buy fake it will damage my gear so he does the buying.
But ask dru23 too if he has “in stock “ the guy sells original yankee parts but make sure it’s in stock in Lagos Nigeria.

9icetoo:
This will be my last response to you.
1. Sell your oil. This is not about who uses your oil. I couldn't care less.
2. Stop disguising tokunbo radiator as better than new. It is not. Never will be.
3. People often improve on what manufacturers installed on their cars from lighting, sound system, sound proofing, rust proofing, swapping cloth for leather, engine performance upgrades, brake system upgrades (bigger brake discs, ceramic pads, drilled and slotted rotors, single piston calipers to double or even three piston calipers, stainless steel braided brake lines), transmission fluid upgrades, exhaust upgrades (free flow catalytic converter exhausts, better performing j pipes), lighter wheels and tyres of same dimension etc. The list is endless. Yes. And the cars last and perform even better.
4. You do not know what single cell or double cell means. This renders any of your submissions on this topic meh.
5. I have tried to educate you, it is not my fault you didn't learn. I do it for posterity sake and other people who may be mislead by you.
6. Do not close your mind to new knowledge. It will help you.

9icetoo:
Owners manual did not say you can't install double cell. Do you even know double cell means?
There are instances where you can retrofit even better items in your car instead of what the car came with.
E.g.
1. On the mdx, if you want to tow in hot weather, you are better off installed a separate transmission cooler instead of relying on the radiator to cool the trans fluid for you.
2. There are instances where obeying the 5w20 and MID oil change recommendations have backfired and owners have come to realise that 5w30 and shorter drain intervals was the key to staving off the oil burn issue on the 2010 to 2012 mdx. Going against manufacturer recommendation of 5w20 and MID 7500 mile OCI saved them.
3. Low profile tyres fitted on new cars look nice and of course handle well but if you traverse rough terrain and don't track your car, you are better off with higher profile tyres with longer side walls. Your car won't flip over while doing legal speed limits. Speedo error is negligible (don't bring that up by the way).
4. A radiator (whether single or double cell) is a heat transfer device. It is as simple as that. It is not going to increase the workload of the water pump. It is not going to affect the volume water that the engine block can hold. Rather, a double cell radiator may ultimately even be a life saver by accommodating more water (handy if you have an overheating car), provide more volume to absorb the heat from the engine, reduce the run time of your fans since it will be more efficient that a single cell, pits less strain on your cooling fans (less on time), produces less strain on your electrical system (battery, alternator relays etc).
Come to think of it, it may even be better than the single cell.

Manufacturers cut a lot of cost and if a single cell can do it why would they install a more expensive double cell? They are all looking at the bottom line remember?

For radiators, new over old.

9icetoo:
Bros, listen and listen carefully.
Double cell oo, single cell oo, e no matter.
Double cell improves cooling die to increased surface area.
It's better. It does no harm to your car as long as your thermostat is present and your fans are working in the factory state.
Radiators have plastic parts which go brittle with age and repeated heating and cooling cycles. It is not advisable to buy used radiators unless you are in a bind either due to location, availability or financially. If you can afford a new radiator (wether single or double cell is irrelevant), can find it and timeframe for delivery allows, then by all means get a new radiator. It's even a maintenance item on some cars (Acura MDX at least).

GAZZUZZ:
Sorry very busy, didn't bother reading.

GAZZUZZ:
I have time , I'm stuck in traffic .

Where do used parts on eBay come from?

The guarantee given is from manufacturer of part or seller?

If from seller who transfered the guarantee he is giving to him?

chrisja:
I haven't seen this coolant in Port Harcourt, been to a number of shops & have only seen one product named RADCO and that of Total.

chrisja:
Wow... Now I am more concerned. I was initially worried about the double cell matter, worried that it may have an impact on the car system, hence why I sort advice from my Ogas @Dru23 @GAZZUZZ and other Chairmen in the house
At this point I am kinda speechless. So Tokunbor or New double Cell?

GAZZUZZ:
ok

GAZZUZZ:
A used radiator is a used radiator. Radiators do not last forever, they become old and the plastic covering becomes brittle and it cracks then breaks.

If you want to give advise on this thread , do not use Tokumbor parts gotten from the junkyard .

A brand new radiator (China double cell) will outlive what you have there.

Felicity0001:
No one is talking about oyel here now bros... Abeg do increase your fleet make those looking for opportunity get sth to put body and soul going. Kids have to eat, school fees has to be paid, rent and all that.

This ur 40ft continue no dey land self

Johnchrix:
Buy me Civic as Hp I'll be for ever greaful boss

Felicity0001:
Pearl1910, dru23 and BAZ001 oya make una gather give this guy motor na shuu! The guy don tey for here too much na... Abi how many ppl una want to vouch for am?

chrisja:
Do I use coolant with water or just coolant alone?

chrisja:
Hello everyone, my car(Toyota Camry 2005 v6) radiator started leaking recently. I took it for repair but it didn't solve it, I was told to get a double cell radiator since the one currently there is a single cell.. What do you guys think?

BAZ001:
Bros, i will like to ask, in all the drivers forums and groups you belong to have you seen any driver (one single driver ) gross 1M monthly from September- 1M, October- 1M
& November too?

With your experience bros is there a strategy to make 1M gross this November or December?

I need the strategy plsssss mbok, because I want 1M to welcome me with open arms.

Anchor84:
How do I get the oil nd filter sir.address or could it be delivered?

Sunshyne200:
Hello boss.

Having read most of what you said, I think I may have been servicing my vehicle wrongly.
I use the Honda Accord 2009 2.0l engine and after reading all these I checked my owners manual and the recommended oil for our temperature is 15W - 40.
How can I correct the wrong practice I have been doing all these while.

* won't changing oil affect the engine again?

Just your professional advice please and if you are in Abuja, I don't mind coming for servicing in your workshop.
