Well, I understand your point of view, off course you'll do everything it takes to protect your brand. Had you been a real Nigeria citizen I'm very sure you won't be saying all of these.

Take some time to look into the solenoid compressor and tell me how best it can be managed or fixed when spoilt and how cheap it cost to replace. I'll be very grateful if you can come up with any useful information btw now and tomorrow morning because I'm just about converting my which went bad due to ordinary high gas pressure while refilling with a Freon.

Point of correction sir, I'm an engineer so address me with some level of respect and stop addressing me with some sort of description like Mr. Man.

Thank you and I anticipate a response on the solenoid compressor.

On the bolded part...... If by an chance the car manufacture felt that the Automatic compressor was a failure on their cars . by now am sure they would have switch over to manual compressor...

Now some of these cars that were using Automatic from 2004 till date , would have switch over to manual compressor by now.......

Mr. Man you are not an engineer at all . The car manufacture or engineer spend years and years going to school to master their graft....... This is like calling a doctor to come fix my car and vice versa this is like calling a mechanic to deliver a baby.. Different skill sets...........

B4 all those problems kicks start be must have sold thw car like the Hyundai was sold to another person. The new owner can do an engine replacement.

So I don't see it as a big problem like you are always making it to be.

So chill boss and slack my good friend some breathing space.

Inbtw, why do you always chose to ship in more expensive products I mean oil and the new items Freon gas when there're other once that suits our Nigeria economy.

Take for instance, the 5w30, 10W30 or 10W40 (I may not fully know all the categories) full synthetic to me is the best oil for Nigeria weather because we do not have freezing temperature like Europe and America has and I want to believe these oils are more affordable than the 0w20 or 5w20 or 5w30.

Also, the gas you shipped in to menis quite expensive honestly, I understand the high cost of forex and shipping cost but you could have at least get the smaller bottles instead of those big once which can slash the price into two. Besides it's saver to have the smaller bottles because AC system is a trier and error thing, if there's leakage after coupling you loss ur gas or there's any issue afyer filling you loss your gas... This is why AC technicians prefer that their big bottle refillable gas to reduce these loses but with this big bottle you have once it's open you can't keep it again. One can risk losing one small bottle than everything.

I don't know if I'm making any sense at all
1.
Below is the Hyundai that I sold. I sold it on nairaland. It had no issues at all . They buyer is a frequent reader on my post. When the buyer came he saw the car and he bought without much questions. He stated that he knows that I take care of my cars... And I told the buyer to always use the correct oil and use coolant at all times........ This is when I was moving fully to Honda civic cars........

**** buyer that bought this ELANTRA****** feel free to comment if you are reading...........


2. The oil part... Keep in mind we have same weather type in Nigeria in the USA. Texas, Las Vegas, Florida etc . Oil manufacture take into account weather, Terrain conditions before making cars or oil ........it is imperative that car owners follow manufacture advice all the time.

Most engine oil are multi grade oil . meaning these oil can lubricate in either extreme tempt or very cold tempt.

They are design for that purpose. Regardless thicker oil will not lubricate faster enough at start up like the recommend oil. Thicker oil will have to get to enough operating temperature to able to lubricate enough. Thinner oil or oil that is recommended by the manufacture takes less time . takes few seconds to lubricate moving parts of the engine...... Kindly follow owners manual on oil weight......


3. The reason why most people a/c compressor don't last long . This is because most gas used in Nigeria are either fake , or are not 134Ra . Your car specify what type of gas is needed . Just like engine oil , people will ignore owner manual and use something cheaper. This why u have people converting Automatic compressor to manual etc .........

Yes 6k naira might seem expensive for a/c freon. But you save money and headache in the long. The local ac gas that cost 3k naira . do you know how many times you will have to top the gas each year . some top theirs at least 3 times or more. Than are u really saving money ?

When using the manufacture recommended freon that cost 6k naira. A good a/c. Tech will vacuum and clean out all the dirt and oil from the compressor. By doing this the new freon will not be contaminated. By following these rules your 6k naira freon should last you few years or at least 1 year.........

This new freon that I do sell . it is called self sealing. The old types once the are open you will have to use it all whether u need the whole can or not . The ones I have are self sealing device.

Meaning you only use what u need and still save the rest for another time. This method was develop to safe the ozone from gassing it up and populating it .

BAZ001 don't allow haters put fear inside of you what ever the case may be no one uses a single car all his life time if the engine starts shortening oil sell it off shikina.

All those hypocrites preaching Mibil1 here and there have sold a Hyundai out in my presence due to oil shortage and smoking engine.

So what happened to the engine or was mobil1 not meant for the car? I kept wondering till now.
It is well known fact . camry v4 2007 to 2009 shorts oil . This is a factory defect .. The v6 model does not short oil at all .. The v6 is even a stronger engine. Toyota had to pay huge fine for that .

customers were told to go Toyota to fix the issues. Or better yet were told to use a thicker oil ......

Since your friend is using 20w50 Mobil xhp .. This is what I use for my generator grin . 20w50 is very thick and most wears occurs on start up of engine. Meaning that if the oil is too thick , it will not circulate well enough to lubricate the moving parts of the engine. Or better yet if your friend decides to wait few minutes to have the thick oil circulate enough before he drives off.
But that will be counter productive. For the fact you are burning and wasting fuel . And it is not good to have your car idle for too long. Idling your car every morning wears down the car in the long run, it is not different from been stuck in traffic for hours.

Since that his 07 camry loves to short oil . it means he will constantly have to be checking the oil gauge and continue topping the oil.

It will now get to a point that he will be using 1liter of oil every 100 miles. Mobil xhp 4liters is now 8500 to 9k now. And eventually there will be no sense in topping the oil anymore.

The engine will eventually freeze and God forbid it freezes on a highway while he is trying to do James Bond 007 and over take an 18wheeler tanker truck. I know that boy loves speed grin I don't wish death on anyone . but am just saying......

I will advice Mr. Bazz001 not to carry his low mileage camry outside Lagos for a 2hr trip.. And if he does he should make sure he carries enough Mobil xhp at least 4 gallons grin driving long distance on a normal car burns oil . talk less of a low MILEAGE camry that comes with a factory defect that shorts oil...........

When push comes to shove none of you will be there to help him .. Most of you that are supporting and "liking" is antics here can barely support yourself. From there he will know who are his real friends.....

Lack of maintenance......don't blame the car, blame the owner.....

On the Benz thread a new car owner was complaining that his TOKUNBO Benz was making weird noises after oil change . She stated that the car was not like that before. And the mechanic use 20w50 oil on a 2013 Benz ........
So plz don't blame the car

I have a Honda Civic 03. Engine is top notch.

Transmission jerks when switching and after a long drive(from Lagos to IB) i need to press the accelerator really hard to reverse..
I hope you are using the recommended Transmissions fluid for it ..... The engine can take abuse, but the transmission will not tolerate it . it will end in premium tears.. Below is the recommended ATF


Since I don't want you to waste your hard earn money by telling you to replace the transmission. The issue you are having might just be simple .... It might be your transmission solenoid is dirty, weak , damage or better it needs total replacement.

A mechanic will simply tell you to replace the transmission, rather than check the solenoid... I have recommended mechanics in the past. For peace of mind and integrity I don't do it anymore....


This is why I always preach to car owners to always use the correct fluids in their cars . And to avoid short cuts...... I wish you the best of luck in finding the solution

Hello guys. My car engine broke down due to no oil (Perhaps my ignorance as I'm a total novice and Don't even know oil gauge)

Mechanic said the metal is broken and it affected the Crankshaft. I'm thinking of buying engine half and top or just buy new Crankshaft and Original metal. Your recommendations would be highly appreciated
If am to take a guess . your 2007 camry is 4plugs! From 2007 to 2009 4plugs are factory defect that shorts oil ... The v6 does not have that problem.......

So my advice is for you to get a complete tokunbo engine. Hopefully u can find one .. You are looking to spend at least 300k ........ And once u are able to get a tokunbo engine always make sure to check the oil level .. You might have to use a thicker oil 5w40 will be advisable... Good luck
