How much is that in Naira? Definitely cheaper than Full Syn
Note it's for conventional oil

My guy, I am guessing you’re looking for justification why I would buy that, yeah? First things first, I am only interested in the weight 5w-30 - I’ve used Castrol, Mobil 1 (Advanced Full Syn and the conventional) and recently tried Total’s Quartz 9k. I think I’m not missing anything by going old fashion. Secondly, the savings I’ll make will add a bottle of another type of “oil” to my depleted collection. wink

Thank you very much ma for the prompt response. However, I noticed that the OE equivalent Cap is almost 50% cheaper than the regular locking cap. Can you help advise on which to go for? As I'm in need of something than can actually clear the attached code. The price isn't a problem.

Car Talk / Re: What Type Of Suv Will Keep Sars Away From Me by Eddee(m): 3:55pm On Sep 27, 2020

Eddee,

Boss you didn't get the gist...

Boss maybe you're living in more sane area of Nigeria.

I've seen numerous cases where you're just parked in a street and immediately they sight you're a young blood, they'll approach you rashly.

I've seen than two cases where these stupid people will draw their gun on one, by just merely sighting the car and seeing you're young. The two occasions are people who are dressed very responsibly (these people are my personal people).


So, this the kind of scenerio the op is trying to avoid.


Some cars actually draw their attention swiftly to young people. First hand experience .

Big man I greet you. I get the point very well, the SARS situation is very disheartening and the profiling of well to do young men on our roads is very sad to say the least. I've driven in Lagos (briefly), Asaba, Port Harcourt, Calabar and Abuja extensively. All these areas are hotspots for SARS and their unlawful shakedowns.

I've had my fair share of problems with SARS, and on all occasions they quickly reach for their firearms like you've rightly noticed, in order to intimidate me. I don't panic at all, I don't call for favors immediately (only once and I didn’t have my tint permit and had to make sure we were driving to Zone 6 Hq and not an ATM). Maybe an 03-05 Corolla or Civic will let him fly under the radar. Any SUV above 2004/5 isn't cheap and those crooks know the value of cars too.

One day na one day, him and dem go gats settle off records for road. Inside the city/town I don't offer them a single kobo and I drive cars that are kinda distinct which means all of us know each other for the roads I frequent, but on the highways when traveling, I keep #200 and #500 notes handy and obey Mathews 5:25 religiously. I don't argue, just stretch out my hands briefly and bless whoever reaches them first and be on my way. I've never had problems obeying the law of the jungle. You travel a lot I presume and as such know first hand that they don't stand where there's good network reception or good roads to outgame their checkpoints.

As for EFCC - they do targeted raids in mostly clubs and highbrow quarters (Again, I co-run a club so I know this first hand). They won't stop him on the road, that job is left for their fellow red jacket wearing NDLEA brothers. As long as his business is clean, he won't have issues with either men in red.

2007 rav4 cool

Any car will do, they'll stop you regardless. They have acquired an ungodly knack for recognizing potential prey. You need to do the basics like Heavenly.bang has stated, don't ever show fear in front of any personnel. Give them their regards, answer questions directed at you without flinching. Show composure when harassed, seek out the O.C and reason with him (learn how to avoid falling into the famous good cop bad cop trap). Ensure your car's paperwork is complete - this cannot be overemphasized.

Avoid tints (original permit or not) and any ricing that will mark you. I travel interstate a lot with a Mercedes W212 E Class, it's fancy, the first thing they look out for is tint and insist I wind up if glasses are down. Secondly, papers to check if the Ts are crossed and Is dotted. Thirdly, an ID. Then oga anything for the boys? once they are satisfied.

In all you do, buy a car you love - Police and EFCC will harass you even if you drive an old Beetle. I've read people asking you to befriend top military officers - it's actually easy, walk into any of the Officers Mess', show proof of character and you'll get a sponsor, pay about 40-50k for registration and well, The Nigerian Army/Airforce/Navy hates the Nigerian Police (see them as untrained, undisciplined, and inferior).

Let me help you summarise your pathetic life.

In the next few posts.

You put your hands into everything and anything without researching , and finally make a failure or of it.

You did cryptocurrency failed in Lagos, went to Abuja

Did generator face cap failed

Did c caution failed

Did website failed

Sold engine oil failed

Car sales terrible failure

Bought scanner to copy.... uz and become a mechanic failed


The only thing you have succeeded in is maintaining this alternate profile for a while without getting ban.

Look around you, all the people you have cursed are progressing,
