Sir GAZZUZZ, 2009 Kia Rio hatchback, flood damaged, auto transmission and struts replaced. Should it be used for e-hailing?

Fire on!

I just found out that the stupid mechanic used Mobil xhp 20W/50 to service the engine instead of Honda synthetic blend 5W/30.

Last week Tuesday, I went to Luvinhubby's shop to buy oil (Honda synthetic blend) for the engine service. Unfortunately, his shop wasn't opened yet and i was in a hurry to get to office. So i gave my mechanic the money and wrote the name of the oil on paper for him.

I went back to collect my car later in the day. The following day, i started noticing that coolant dry up fast and the engine became very hot within few minutes. I also experienced loss of power and car jerked when accelerating. All these are strange.

I returned the car to him. First, he said 2 coils were bad. We changed coils but problem persisted. Then he removed thermostat. Coolant no longer dry up and engine doesn't get hot again. But it still takes the car longer to go from 0 to 25mph and car still jerks slightly when accelerating. From 25mph upwards, the car runs smoothly.

How did I know he used the wrong oil? I opened my boot this morning and found an empty container of Mobil XHP 20W/50. I called him to confirm, he said he used it because he couldn't find the one I told him to buy. And could not inform me before using Mobil? Even when 5W/30 was clearly written on the engine

Now, my question is, could this solely be the reason for all these problems: loss of coolant, overheating, loss of power, jerking?

Thanks.

Hello everyone, please house I would really like to ask this question, why would someone leave his house to seek to work as a driver for a partner, you take the car, the car is not faulty at all, and after 7days it becomes a battle to pay remittance, I mean the car you drive is even maintained by the partner, everytime you have conversations during the week there is no report whatsoever of any faults, but to pay becomes serious battle where you chased up and down and even takes involving your guarantors for you to do the needful.

This is not a one off experience, I have had 2 of such experience, in fact the second driver started this attitude from the second week of driving I had to collect the car after 4 weeks, and I have had several complaints as well, my coysin had to sell his 2 cars on the platform, my in-law same, in fact my close friend had to result to thuggery and blows to get his money by visiting drivers houses, why sign up for what you might not be able to do, and even after signing up and you discover you can't cope,what is difficult in calling the partner explaining to them and releasing their car to them.please can someone explain why this is very rampant.


For people that would ask remittance is 30k per week, both cars corolla Tokunbo, and servicing is done by partner and other major repairs, I even had to repair the legs of one car with the first 10weeks.

Good afternoon honorable gazzuzzz and other auto gurus in the house: A Toyota hiace 2014 model with p0500 code( vehicle speed sensor), c0210 code ( rear speed sensor RH circuit) and c0215 ( rear speed sensor LH circuit) are present on the bus... speedometer on the car doesn’t move at all, check engine light is on abs is on as well but dia is a light flashing steady I’m guess is cruise control light cox the p0500 was also present on the cruise control check while using the diagnostic machine... There isn’t a gear issues bus works fine only, d speedometer wasn’t reading , it was even driven with the scanner to see if vehicle speed would read on the scanner but it was still not reading.On d freeze frame was p500 code as well in the power train diagnosis. The c0210 and c0215 are still present after clearing the abs code.... what could be the possible fix, I checked for voltage on the vss connector on underneath the gear using a testing lamp and the was voltage on the line...

Please, what good brand of car could 700k get? It's Strictly for e-hailling business.

franksam2009:
bro that's a very bad idea, you can't see the sludge cos it builds up inside the engine first

I can see clearly inside the engines valve region. Worry about your self sir, I'll worry about mine

Hello Gazzuzz, my Toyota matrix 05, i feel vibration in it once i start it.. What could be the problem.. Bcus once am in motion it reduces.... The mechanic has serviced my injector, the filter has bin checked, the plugs has bin changed, and the engine seat are fine.. Please help
And i also noticed it comsumes more fuel now.

And come to think of it, the movement is excellent.. But that vibration when the car is parked is my concern,

frugal:
It's self esteem issues.

Have you noticed that wealthy riders always treat you with respect? They see you as equals, which truthfully you are. Especially riders based outside the country. I speak from experience cos I drive too every once in a while when I need to exercise.

Only unexposed riders treat you otherwise. Again, self esteem ish - not used to the idea of being driven around like a boss.

The mechanic removed the thermostat and I haven't lost coolant since yesterday and my engine is no longer getting hot within minutes. He said I should leave it like that but I insist that we buy another one (thermostat) and install. I plan to do that on Saturday.

Thanks.

ItsJazmine:
Am I supposed to understand what you mean? And am I automatically meant to know which is preferable to use by this response?

J0hnTrevolt:
Good day chief. Plz kindly advise for a friend btwn toks mercedes c230 2004(4 plugs) and toks hyundai elantra 07 which is best, fuel economy, cost of engine replacement, parts etc. Car is to be driven by a woman and will be far from abuse cos d hubby is there to watch over things.


Secondly, can a toyota camry 03 v6 engine be replaced with an i4 engine?
Tnx chief!
