Just look at him. You see his laid-back appearance? You see his simple clothes? You'd pass him on the street or sit beside him inside danfo and not know he can dash you 15 million naira and a stocked shop. Food for thought.

That's true. I had someone else install the new filter after the mechanic crushed the first one.

9icetoo:
Your mechanic did not need a chain or any leverage whatsoever to install your oil filter.

You may need to change mechanic.

On the mdx, you only need your hand to install the filter! Using a wrench often crushes the filter.

"The development marks a significant milestone and reinforces our stability.... Yadayada"

Seriously? And they are brazen enough to this for the Nigerian public to read? Like people have shit for brains or what?

Thanks for this. I just swapped the oil and filter in late November, so I still have many miles to go before needing another one. I just wanted to add 1 liter now because we experienced spillage when the mechanic changed the oil that November. He tightened the filter with a chain and crushed it in the process. I drove for some minutes before people called my attention to the leak. I just drove back to the mechanic and had the filter replaced. All good since then. But I still think about how much oil had split that day. Of course I check the level. It's not too low. It's just my careful self that wants to replace what was lost that day. Now, I think I should just leave things until It's time to drain and replace the oil entirely. 5W-20 it is. Good to hear Gazzuz' business is still going on, by the way.

9icetoo:
When is your next oil change?

If it's close, drain and use the recommended 5w20 or 5w30 oil. It doesn't have to be synthetic. Buy from a reputable dealer. Them plenty for here. Gazzuzz shop is still open and you can make order thu his number which is still active. Dru23 dey here (we often disagree on certain things). I also have adeco ultrasynth 5w30 engine oil if you are in lagos. If in lekki, radautos shop sells genuine oil too. You may also go to any total filling station and buy total Quartz 9000 (they have the 5w30 and even 5w20 variant).

You are spoilt for choice basically.

Happy motoring. Treat that mdx well and it will treat you well.

Then I think I'll better change the oil with 5W-20 instead of just adding a liter. It would be bad if I added 5W-20 to an engine already containing 20w50, right?

fineboynl:
Get a mobil 5w/30 its everywhere.

I believe the previous mechanic and owner uses 20w50.

If its a Nigerian used. And you don’t know the history of that car. You better use 20w/50 there there is high chance that’s what was use previously. To avoid smoking and future problems

Truck?

Louiscars:
Ohh I remember now, get 5w20/ 5w30 for that truck ( from a reputable brand) I’ll suggest Liquimoly though.

Yeah, I think. What I remember very well was the 50 instead of 5.

Kewtt:
You meant 20W 50

It's the Acura MDX. Raised quite a storm here in nairaland when I bought it late last year. As a matter of expedience, I changed the oil and filter the same month I bought it. I didn't pay much attention then. It's not shorting oil or anything but I just wanted to add a liter.

Louiscars:
what vehicle is this, do you have an idea how long the former oil grade has been used ?, does your vehicle suffer from oil shortage.
5w20 oil grade shouldn’t be too hard to find, I have one who supplies Liquimoly and has that oil grade, it’s quite pricy though cause it’s premium.

I wish I took pictures yesterday. The cans I saw had 50W20 written on them.

mu2sa2:
Op it's 5w20. It's available in the market, just beware of the fake. I just check a popular online site, it's selling for 26k (Mobil 1).

What?! 😧 There is o. It's everywhere I looked yesterday.

1Alex:
There is no oil grade as 50w 20

My engine says it requires 5W-20 engine oil but all I could find at the market is 50W-20. Since 5W-20 is so scarce here, I'm beginning to suspect the mechanic used 50W20 the previous time I changed the engine oil. What should I do? Should I go ahead with the 50W20?

Mine isn't exactly a problem. My engine says it requires 5W-20 engine oil but all I could find at the market is 50W-20. Since 5W-20 is so scarce here, I'm beginning to suspect the mechanic used 50W20 the previous time I changed the engine oil. What should I do? Should I go ahead with the 50W20?

Bullshit. You think she came close to the snake while killing it? Who does that? She could've pretty much killed the snake by hitting it with a 10-foot pole and also hold it with said ten-foot pole after it's dead. It's the courage to do the hitting the matters.

ugodson:
For us over thinker she did not kill any snake. Is the distance between she and the snake even when the said snake is dead

Him don marry, born pikins.

NaijaGoBetter2:

My car's navigation still shows Baltimore and all that crap. Shebi I dey drive from Nigeria go Baltimore? Please how did you update yours to start showing the local map?

This is metcoppo

sambright2012:
Which one is metoccopo again

Okay. That's what I thought. Someone said they sell this one 6k to 7k per meter. I'll go and price them sha.

LillyandDaisy:
Yes, not this type oooh, talking about Sumo this one will be way costly

I wish I.

PulaPower:
It should be enough or a little thousands higher than 2m..

Na you sabi o.

LordReed:
OK good that you understand that there is a difference between mundane and special.

For God in his wisdom made it impossible for people to know him by means of their own wisdom. Instead, by means of the so-called “foolish” message we preach, God decided to save those who believe.

"Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day, our garlic bread, …and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza, for thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever. R'amen"

"Hail Marinara, Full of Spice, The Flying Spaghetti Monster is filled with thee. Tasty art thou amongst sauces, and blessed is the fruit of thy jar, tomatoes (although fools believe they are vegetables)

This year? Also, I didn't know they sell metcoppo by bundles.

LillyandDaisy:
The last time I check the roofing sheet is around 120k/bundle

Yes. "I can't agree more" means I agree completely.

LordReed:
But do you understand?

🙂. What I mean is, for example, a Christian actor won't do certain sex scenes or use certain languages all in the name of portraying the story as realistically as possible. That's the code I'm talking about. When the action does more damage than good, a Christian who is mindful of his place won't do it.

achorladey:
Explain the code Christian should have.

Thank you.

Free2Fly:
From my personal experience as an owner of 2 buildings, i would put it at an average of 300sqm +/- 20sqm

I can tell. Someone said 4 million. But what I'm really after is how much the roofing sheets alone will cost me. The reason I'm insisting on finding out is because the house I want to roof isn't new. I don't want a situation where I remove the old zincs, build the woods, and then run out of money for the roofing sheets. That'd be bad.

LillyandDaisy:
With current situation my answer is no

Thanks for your input. I don't think this type of zinc is sold by bundles like Cameron zinc. I think this type is sold by sqft or meters.

Osiris12:
Roofing sheet. 20- 24 bundles
Wood 400- 600k
Nails 100- 120 k
Additives 50k
Workmanship?

I know what you mean. But a Christian should have a code. A Christian should never stop being a Christian.

achorladey:
Have you seen where a religious organization was told to censor their religious movies that depicts violence and what the religious organization said was that. That was how it was recorded in the Bible and so it is the way God want it to be conveyed to those learning from it.

I wonder how Denzel use of F words compare to the violent scenes not censored in religious movies

Okay o.

Nnamdipapa:
Take it easy, travel does not necessarily connote "good life" . Los of people like myself never post any of our international travels while some people like like op do. Cut him some slack.

You see the house in this picture? I want to have pretty good guess how many meters of metcoppo roofing sheets will be enough to cover it.

I know. I can't know how many until the skeleton (woods) has been built and then the carpenter can measure it to determine how many roofing sheets I need to buy. I know that. They've told me.

But I also know that an experience eye, especially someone who's done many jobs like this one, can make a very close estimate of how many roofing sheets will be enough to roof the house in this picture. At the same height too.

So, what do you think? Please tell me if you have the experience.
