Question. Why didn't he just stick with conventional 5w30 ? He didn't need to go synthetic.
conventional or synthetic, that engine will burn 5w30. He needs thicker oil or new piston rings and valve stem seals.

Your 10 bikes can carry minimum of 10 riders at once and 20 at most per trip

While

1 car can carry minimum of 1 rider at ones and 4 riders at most per trip.

Common sense;
you cant compare 10 bikes to 1 car.

1 bike can never earn as much as a car,
Comfort differs greatly.
No insurance company will insure a bike comprehensively.

Hello Gazzuzz,
I see many Nigerian used Pathfinder 2006 going cheap, apart from the problem of mixing oil and coolant, which other problems are common with them?
Rust, and not every technician wants to fix them.

Good morning Gazzuzz. Please, its my Toyota Camry 2003.i bought it naija used. It was on mineral oil, so my mechanic de - sludged the engine and we tried out synthetic oil. It seemed to work well. I changed my oil on 18th August 2018 but I checked this morning and my oil has gone below the lower marker of the dipstick.

I think the oil is burning rapidly. I read one of your threads where you indicated that this is a likely consequence of switching from mineral to synthetic oil. Add this to the fact that the engine has a mileage of 240k miles already.

Do you advise that I switch to mineral oil? There's one oil you advertised for ageing engines a few weeks back. You posted a grey/black container, is it compatible with my engine.

I would appreciate your thoughts and opinion.

Thank you for all times.
you jumped straight to full synthetic oil 5w30? Please start with mineral 20w50 (3000miles max) and see if there will be an oil shortage. I have a feeling it was burning oil on 20w50 previously.

If you are lucky and this works out, then next oil change try total quartz 7,000(3000miles max), if that works out without any oil burn then settle for Mobil 0w40(5,000miles max) or total quartz 9000(5,000miles max).

When you have no vehicle history do not jump to full synthetic 5w30 or 5w20.

Hello all,
Please guys don't do business with this fraudster named FLEETDRIVE. Here are my reasons:
1. He "helped" us buy a Nigerian used Honda city for 810k and did some "repairs" for another 100k. He had sent the picture of the car earlier but we weren't ready then. When we were ready, he resent the same picture with a higher price and lied it wasn't the same car...unknown to him that we kept the pictures

2. This car was with him for close to 2 months before he got a driver and therefore it was just "parked" in his yard

3. When he finally got a driver, he started saying its 30k he agreed to pay after promising 32,500. We let that slide too. He NEVER even paid the 30k in full for once, it was always one story or the other. We got paid for just 3 weeks for a car bought since June

4. This guy changed the tyres of this car (on our cost o) and when we called him that we were coming to get the car from him, he REMOVED all the tyres and REPLACED with BAD TYRES. The whole car looked like scrap sef when we got it back from him

5. We gave the car to a dealer to help us sell and almost all the parts of this car is bad from the gear box to the engine and he told us the car isnt worth more than 450k, that's how much people are willing to pay for the crap he sold to us.

6. Ever since we collected the car, all efforts to reach him were futile. He never replied our messages nor took our calls.

7. His overall customer service is bad. His office is ar Iwaya, i agree i fell for a scam, i don't want anybody to fall for this same scam called FLEETDRIVE LIMITED.

Thank you.
You can PM me for proof to this my story.
How involved where you in the purchase of this vehicle? Did you insist on inspecting what you were paying for? Did you send a mechanic (your mechanic) to ensure what you where paying for was worth every Naira? On this same thread I have warned about Nigerian used cars and low budgets, those two things do not fit in same sentence, In future try to be more involved with your investments, a lot of you where also scammed by the "peugeot" managers previously simply because most of you just sat in the comfort of your homes and transfered hard earned money to complete strangers to buy Nigerian used cars from abuja and kaduna (as if money is picked up on the streets in the north)

To the next person that will soon Get scammed, wake up and get involved in your investment decisions, if a car will be bought, go and see it first, ask questions, if tyres will be bought, buy them your self! And send to the manager, if engine oil will be changed, have it changed in your presence. Do not just assume every one is to be trusted. my father used to say opportunity makes a thief. Minimise the temptation and opportunities, Do things your self sometimes.


Meanwhile this is an allegation, and we are waiting for a robust response from herbewilliams aka fleetdrive.

Gazzuzz, what is it that makes it that when some car's AC is put, the car becomes somewhat heavier and requires harder throttling to maintain the same speed
its normal, only very noticeable if engine is underpowered or has the wrong type of compressor.

Nah...

Not gonna place the advert here .. Gonna go to my local church assembly to speak with my pastor to find an unemployed brother who knows how to use a phone and understands the routes in Lagos a lot....


You drivers have now grown wings and think you are too important in the uber business.

If all car owners can adopt this approach this shakara from una go stop...

Someone just said on a bad day... A driver can get 9k . that's 63 in a week.. And u want to give the car owner 30k from 63k . yet if the car goes bad, you drop it for him to repair... This is based on the assumption that all 7 days are bad days....
what are you still doing here?

You people have been saying this.

How do drivers look for requests


By being online?

Please note that you are talking to an app developer (just to preempt you so you speak within the possibilities of the tech in uber)


Please note that I will buy the phone,car,insurance, fuel,tracker and maintenance and uber commission. All the driver has to do is be online and drive. If he decides to be online for only 2 days in a month.. He makes 35% of that....

Its a fair deal.. Any driver who doesn't accept this is just greedy.
Uncle, buy 1 car, place advert here with terms and conditions, after 1 month let us know how far. Thank you.

P.s stop calling Drivers Greedy until you have driven on the platform your self.

Sight unseen, sounds like the master cylinder. When you are stopped, double pump on the brake and then see if it slowly continues to creep down. That should be confirmation.
could also be a bad ABS Actuator wink

We did not buy it. It has always been serviced by Kia and that is what they use as I was told.

We bought a brand new Kia Cerato 2009 and we have been using Total Oil to service it all the while.
My boss has insisted we use Mobil 1 oil to service it.
Kia said they cannot use it.

@ Gazz.uzz, please can we use Mobil1.

The Total oil is the Quat f2 5000.20 Synthetic oil.
what was the price of the total oil? Quat F2 5000.20 is not sold by total

The issue is dogmatism.

I said it was power steering related.

It turned out not to be pump.

Nonetheless it was still power steering related.

It turned out not to be air bubbles in the reservoir.

It turned out not to be leaks in the system.

It turned out not to be related to the main pressure pipe.

It turned out not to be related to welding of the main pressure pipe.

It wasn't an issue with the power steering pump.

It wasn't a clogged power steering reservoir.

There are so many variables.

A dogmatic position is inflexible, it insists it can be A not B not C not D.

A position that is not dogmatic says it could be A or B or C or D.

That was why I said earlier:

All in all the symptoms point in the direction of the power steering pump and related components not the wheel.

I too have assisted others solve problems remotely, two of such remote solutions in a foreign forum have received 2,500 likes and are still counting.

In no way disparaging remote troubleshooting, but the real solution was found during physical inspection.

In the same way as I have gotten remote troubleshooting tips, which had to be implemented hands-on

This story explains why a thorough physical inspection is a must before deciding how to remediate a problem

Until then every opinion is an educated guess

Which is why a true professional cannot be dogmatic as to the cause of a problem until such an inspection is carried out
