BOUNTYDOG:
It's a week plus now that I serviced using the hot drain method I explained above,and the oil is still pure like fresh from the gallon and not black yet.
I realized a real service requires hot drain over night

you mean warm, cos when your Engine is hot it means movable parts would have expansion,do not forget that.Picture Plz
PS, do you change your oil filter each time?

udomma1005:
Tnx brotherly
Could u specify a brand?

mobil of that spec

udomma1005:
My baby is a beemer e36(3series).

10W40

vizkiz:
There is a standing order that restricts ANY civilian from putting on military related uniform(s).

Well, what do you expect from a lawless country where the rich can get away with anything they want?

LUBISH,READ THE ORDER AGAIN

one word
IGNORANCE

quentin06:
Engine oil should not be dark, when it becomes dark it should be changed, remember engine oils clean the engine, so are transparent when bought new.

The SAE40 I see is good for diesel engines, dont know if that engine is diesel.

If you put engine oil in yoyr car and run it for one hour it will turn black . If you put engine oil on one metal amd rub another metal on top it will go black . Reason friction caused by mega heat and lost particles . No one can eliminate this fru liquid lub the only way round this is air lub . Or magnetism..
PS what do you mean by SAE 40?

brojero:
Two main things to consider:
1. Km covered since last oil change
2. Time since last oil change

In our extreme Nigerian conditions, change your oil every 3000km. If you can afford to use a smaller interval, say 2000 km the better
Your engine will last much longer

If not sure then change every 6 weeks

But better to go by mileage

To answer your initial question best to Change oil now and then follow above guide

Bross 6 weeks change and he is not a transporter ?

dany4life:
Please I have a Nissan quest 96 model v6 engine but due to the high fuel consumption and the high cost of fuel I want to replace the engine with a four plug engine that could be easy to cover the fuel cost so I seek the suggestions of fellow nairalanders to get the right and fitting engine for this purpose

Do not try it . Or else that mechanic will just open new office on top you motor . Sell it and buy a small engine . And to all of us here who are looking to buy cars the 1st time.buy a small Engine . 1.6 to 1.8 irrespective of make or model . Bigger engines are cheaper to buy abroad it's the innocent Nigerians that bears the Koko. Especially cars from the USA .

Chiaka:
Ones with very solid foundation that befits the soil structure can last that long. Here nobody cares elsewhere they check on old buildings and if they are no longer strong, they collapse them and rebuild before it endangers

The foundation 2 as not responsible but it's structure . .a building with no foundation but solid structure will not colaps .

[b][/b]

Chiaka:
Sorry but he is been truthful most of those buildings are old and if nothing is done more will collapse. Buildings are not suppose to last forever, some of those buildings are 50 years and above and who know the type of foundation they had.

50 years you say

ybalogs:
These people fit dey lie on top these militants head sha.Nah Naija we dey. Morning Nairalanders.

you are not far from the truth and then they award huge padded contract for clean ups and repair dem don hammer . And pay boys peanuts .

Take your car to ladipo, reason, close to parts and expertise

9jatatafo:
You reason like a typical Nigeria Police that thinks every young man that is successful is a G-Boy. Legitimate business pays dear

But this guy in question nah confirm yahoo boi, tell me what legit Biz E do in GH?those boys wey dey throw westy and control worldwide.

kernniejay:
hello guys, please i need your views or ideas and advice on an issue with my car. i have a Honda Accord 1993 (Honda Hala) and it is a very nice car that speeds like a jet.

The issue that is giving me serious concern about the car is this; if i don't drive the car for about 2 days, on the third day when i start the engine, it will be bringing out blue smoke so much. but once i start driving it, the smoke will reduce and it will finally stop within 1 minute. For the rest of the day you wont believe that the car has smoked earlier as the smoke will disappear, the exhaust pipe may even be dripping water especially if it is morning or the weather is cold.

Please what could be the problem? I want to know exactly what the problem is. I don't believe the engine is gone because the car performs very efficiently and does not even consume oil abnormally.

Thank you.

blue smoke sometimes means oil in cylinders so why should there be oil in there ?This is what need checking .

sarrki:
Not everyone do Yahoo yahoo
Or kidnapping like Evans

There is legit money out there

Bross for GH ? U nor see the guy number ? ?

Sure way to get Visa to UK , give your reason as .Going to visit PMB. Gbam your visa go drop one time.

He was meant to end medical tourism but he ended running to London for fatigue treatment

siempere:
ok boss...I'll do just that...tnks a lot..

UWC

siempere:
He didn't actually repair it...he called an auto guy (panel beater) who had a supposed work around they buy some stuff and construct it locally...I seriously didn't see this done as i was in d office...I allowed it because since d catalyst wasn't there when they opened it, that means I was driving d car for years without it..

nah They killed you right there, there is nothing like construction, what you need do is to go the spare market and buy a cat conv that is meant for your own car simple.Inside the cat conv there are special alloys which convert the exhaust gas into un harmful gases.

siempere:
when they checked it it was gone entirely so d mechanic replaced it with a work around..

you can only replace it with same, ,its not repairable,

ugoboss26:
Please say more on the fuel part sir

You should know your Engine capacity, I will say stick to any car with an Engine btw 1.4 to 1.8

siempere:
Hello guys please I have a Toyota Camry 2.2 that started guzzling petrol recently..I've checked the injector they said it's fine...I've just recently worked on d catalyst too...still d problem persists...I just remembered d coolant is no more..as in it drained entirely and I filled it with water.....some months back pending when I have time to check it and forgot...could that've been d issue all along??...thanks

when you said work on the Cat Converter, did you mean replace it?

mastro:
I think it's an Ill-advised venture, having said that, I'm ready to eat my words and love engineering projects so please keep us updated, not everything is about money.

Initially once you've found out the cost of all the parts, please post them here. Hint there are a 101 dead RR sports in Lagos so if you are doing the conversion there why not buy one of them and break for parts, friend of mine sold his LR3 for N600k it was so troublesome as an indicator of what it might cost you.

All in good time, parts completed..

princetom1:
Ah, finally, i almost turned methusela... Ogakazeem has oga contacted u for this job? Or na LeJeun3 oga wan call? Some people dey Bush...
