Ngasky:
They do because more than 50% of dollars released by CBN goes to fuel import. And unfortunately dollar is the international currency for transaction, so unless another currency or system was adopted by entire worldwe have to deal on dollars

I know what U meant when I said they don't give a damn is cos they always get what they want why those of us who need it for school fees can't get it .

Ngasky:
Good development.
When the current government devalued naira I thought they are making a grave mistake, but thank God I was proven wrong.
The rallying of naira is in the interest of Nigeria. And from the way things are going when the dangote's refinery started production the dollar will fall to below 300 or even possibly below 200. Because the major drain on dollar exchange in Nigeria is petroleum and petro allied products. So we won't spend dollars on them anymore, the demand will fall.
Also with time the refinery will produce excess to sell to neighboring countries or even to southern American markets thereby earning more dollars to Nigerian central bank.
Another good initiative policy is the made in Nigeria policy, now with the homegrown rice production it will further reduce the demand for foreign currency, all in all the two most foreign currency demand commodity will no longer need dollars so we should only use dollars for machinery and parts.
From the foregoing Nigeria will be great it is just a matter of consistency and determination by the successive governments.
Long live FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

The only 2day out of this hole is when we stop pegging dollars to Oil .
Do you think petrol and oil marketer give a damn about forex ? Have you ever hear them complain by any media About forex shortage ?

petraek:
what of gear oil, do we also need to change it regularly too...
your gear oil should also be changed regularly every ten to fifteen thousand KM

Hmm I think you should go by waht your book says, cos in some car, its for life ie BMWs Merc and Range rovers, they are for life

Wow! I really love the pics I am seeing. At first i was a doubting Thomas that this project would never see the light of day but now I believe. Never say never. push yourself to the limits and aim to achieve.

Thanks plenty

Oga mi, this theory is good for a robot that does everything correctly.
I service my '03 Accord every month cos I fire it through 3000kM a month, and when I drain the oil, it's as black as charcoal. But I barely service the '014 corolla cos it scarcely goes far. Even at 7000kM the oil is still golden.

Robot ke?
servicing ur car monthly is money down the drain, if by service you mean oil change.btw, try and Buy Original specif oil for that car you will reduce the amount of times U change oil cos your pocket will remind you.

MASTERCC:
[I mean vubrating on exhaust mouth when on and a kind of bell is ringing inside the exhaust pot.
Its comsuming fuel for mequote author=erico2k2 post=57263248]

Well have you checked the mount? thats the things that holds the exhaust to the body of teh car.

honmusa:
This is engine related issue that the OP complain about not powertrain .Even if there is code ,it is not related to the scope of complaint.
I don't think you go to field to see the real stuff,you are more of Internet mechanic.

Wow Page 700

MASTERCC:
My Camry 04model is cuting sound while on the mouth of my exhaust pot. And more so its consuming fuel.its v6 though .I bought it direct Belgium on december

5w30

I still think U should stick to what your book says. 30 is thicker than 20

billy187:
In a 2003 Ford Focus wagon. Owners manual states 5w20 but then the car was from Canada, so I decided to go with the recommended oil for the model in other countries.

which is?

Davidevare:

Nuezha:
If you do not know you ask.
Oil is depleted at high speed even with a very sound engine, the fraction may be negligibly small for brand new cars.
Oil is heated up and blackened at high and sustained speed making it to lose its predesigned viscosity.

If you own a car, never use the 'books' to service it. But rather, consider it's intensity of use if you do not want to damage your engine very quickly.

Saying never use the book to service your car is equal to saying an ilitrate is driving a car, and That is the plain truth, cars come with service history/records.Why on earth will you give or tell a person not to follow instructions as per service on thier book is beyond comprehension.
Now, Oil disintegrate as per usage and does not brake down due to heat alone that is constant as specified in your Engine spec.(Normal Operating temperature)
Weather you are driving at 300 miles per hour or 100 miles per hour you Engine temperature is constant once you reach optimum operation.
Now cars like the range rover have a webasto to heat the Engine coolant to make it warm up quick in cold weather.
Reasons your Engine Oil will brake down
Oxidation
Moisture
Viscosity loss
Fuel dilution
High Heat
Manufacturers of these Oils know at what mileage this will all occur and stipulate when to have an Oil change 3000 miles minimum, even synthetic can go for 5000 miles or more, the 5W30 can go up to 10000 if full synthetic in some models.

Nuezha:
5000kM interval, except for high speed/long distance travellers.

Bro sincerely how does ur high speed and long distance affect interval of oil change ? All literatures point to milage only and time scale.so do U have any evidence of your stated reasons ?

marshmonii:
what of gear oil, do we also need to change it regularly too...

Nop amd B very careful of them people who advice you to do so.

billy187:
This is more like it, 3 months or 5000km is just too short for modern oils. I bet synthetics go even longer - heck, the Valvoline High mileage 5w30 full synthetic I have in my rust bucket claims 360,000km of protection! (not that I'd wait that long though )

Bro what car are you using 5W30 on oz?

begwong:
Duration should be about 1000km. My opinion though and stand to be corrected by the gurus in the house.

I bet you my graannns no vehicle has that specification and since me and U did not manufacture engines won't it by wise to stick to what the manufacturers specify ?

dangotesmummy:
its people like you and Jude that make it difficult for Americans not to look at Nigerians as criminals including honest people. They're even always weary of helping because Nigerians will always turn around and stab you in the back.this is nothing but plain wickedness and of course karma the silent beech always walks in when you least expect

People posting what they don't know,i live in Dublin and know this incident very well, it happened early last month, the guy left because she was a junkie, she sniffs cocaine and sleeps off for hours abandoning children, you can't just take a child in Ireland and run away, the police will arrest you for kidnapping, he got the child welfare involved and collected the kid,he can't take the kid with autism because that one has an assigned govt appointed care provider...
