Harbewilliams:
Uber is one business that is worth investing in if you’d like to earn ₦120,000 monthly on a ₦1,500,000 investment. The 2 most important factors to succeed in the business are getting a practical car that is in good working condition. As well as getting a good and trustworthy driver.

E-hailing companies accepts 2003 and above four door cars. However, buying a 2003-2006 model is better so the car can repay itself on time whilst having a life span of 3 to 4 years on the platform before they yank if off.

When choosing the most practical car to use, you have to consider the following factors: Purchase cost, fuel economy, good air conditioner, reliability, maintenance cost, life span, resale value etc..

Despite how lucrative the business is, I noticed several cars have been pulling out of the Uber business due to accidents, reliability issues, fuel consumption especially vehicles with 6 cylinder engines etc.

I want to talk about investment and return on investment (ROI) in the context of E-hailing business (uber, taxify, oga taxi)
So I was researching fixed deposit rates, not to invest but to get a comparison between that and an investment in Uber.

The best rate I was able to get was 3% on a 30 day fix, that is, if you left your money with the bank for 30 days, they would give you an appreciation on your capital of 3%. So I though, let's choose a nominal figure for the sake of this post, a figure of say #1,500,000.

If you fix #1,500,000 naira on a percentage of 3%, at the end of the term, you make a profit (or interest) of 50,000 naira. A whooping sum of #12,500 per week. I believe there is also a service charge, though negligible, it will affect your bottom line.

Now let us look at an equivalent investment on Uber,
Now that e-hailing companies is accepting year 2003 cars and newer.
Let's say you invest in Uber with #1,500,000.
You are guaranteed returns of #120,000/130, 000 per month
, #30,000/32, 500 per week.



From my layman calculation that is about 8% compared to fixed deposits' 3%.

Quite a difference when the capital we speak of is #1,500,000 .

Now, I think you may speak of risk. Fixed deposits are essentially risk free, while Uber carries certain risks; accident, theft, fire etc., but that is where insurance comes in. For about #50,000 naira you can negate all risks, for up to 1 year. Over the course of a year, that is 4000 every month. Risk averted.
If we were to deduct interest from risk premium (insurance) we get a profit of 116,000 per month, still much higher than fixed deposit.

One legitimate concern of course is, what happens to mechanic costs when you have to fix the car (this is a variable and highly dependent on other factors, also it is unpredictable so I won't calculate that here), if you get a good vehicle, you don't have to worry about mechanic costs, I have been driving my car on Uber for 3 months and haven't had cause to visit a mechanic, so it's been all profit for me.

So how do you get a good car? Leave that to us, we can help you source for well-maintained vehicles from reputable car dealerships.
As fleet managers, we can help you purchase sound vehicles for your investment.

It is worthy to mention that no investment vehicle (no pun intended) is devoid of risk, fixed deposits are affected by inflation while Uber vehicles are affected by depreciation.

I think any investment that out performs the local fixed deposit rates is a good investment. Think about it.

erico2k2:
how do U get ur BMW Auto trans frm Limp mode?

Limp mode means there's a problem somewhere and you should drive immediately to your technician. Have the car scanned to know why.

HenryWilliams:
Bought the vehicle in November..
No idea about previous owners maintenance history.

The colour should be pinkish-red... as shown in the picture attached. Honda has phased out the ATF-Z1 and replaced it with the Honda DW-1.

soloehis:
thank you bro I'm very grateful..my mechanic was saying 6ltrs

Another safe strategy is to refill back with exact quantity drained out. But this is if you didn't have any leakages

HenryWilliams:
is the transmission fluid still good?
Honda Accord 04 V6

When last did you have it changed?

soloehis:
..how many litrs of ATF would be enough? Because i intend draining the transmission oil?

You need about 3litres for drain and refill. But if the transmission is to be brought down, you'd need about 6litres. This is because some oil remain in the torque converter.

HELLO LAGOS!! It's official. Due to high demands, the American Mobil 1 oils are now available for pickup in Lagos.

We now have a pick-up centre at Isolo, Lagos.

For our oil collections, visit https://www.mrparts.ng/collections/engine-transmission-oil

soloehis:
thanks for your response it's 1.7 lt

Honda recommended engine oil is 5w20 but depending on the age of your engine, you could use slightly thicker 5w30.

For your transmission, recommended ATF is Honda ATF-Z1 but this has been replaced with the newer Honda DW-1

However, if your transmission is a CVT, then recommended oil is Honda HMMF or HCF-2

Auto transmission oil and

Engine oil

Dexron III, or Mercon V is recommended for your Auto transmission (4.3Litres)

Engine oil 5w30 Snythetic or 10w40 Semi-synthetic would do for your engine.

Meetleader:
Thanks, but you see, I haven't been able to find Mobil 1 0w-20 anywhere in Nigeria...

So I opted for the 5w-30...

The ATF dip stick cap for my ride reads Dextron

I guess brake fluid is constant Dot 3 right...

How about power steering fluid?

True, the Nigerian stations don't have the 0w20 because these are American oils. We have these in stock.

Am surprised you have Dexron written on the dipstick because even older models of your car has Type T-IV written on their dipstick.

You are right about the brake fluid.

We use the Mercon V for the power steering

Meetleader:
Nobody is talking about 2007 Toyota Camry

ATF for Camry 07 Muzzle pls?

Recommended ATF for your ride is Toyota WS...
Recommended Engine Oil is 0w20. This is much lighter than the regular oils sold on the streets.

sgtponzihater1:
Mercedes C class 1998 model

A good Dexron III is recommended for your automatic transmission

nnamdibig:
97-98 model

Due to the age and build of your engine, stick to a good brand of 20w50.

For gear, use Dexron II or III whichever is accessible
