Ochiske: How do you guys attain this high MPG? Cos mine is 11mpg
IS350 No CEL Everything runs smoothly Used to be 15 MPG until I drove down to Calabar. It’s been hovering between 10.9mpg and 11 MPG since I got to Calabar When I just got my Lexus recently, i noticed it doing 9.1 city drive and 12.1 on highway. When I investigated my self, it happens that I had a back exhaust leak, and 3 of my caliper is sticking… After fixing I got 17 mpg on my next highway drive… I haven’t taken it out again on a long journey but now I get 15mpg within city drive. I have not done any servicing to the car so far |

alejandro72: I would appreciate it if someone can recommend a good Lexus mechanic in Ibadan. Cos my eye don see!! I am in Ibadan and I just started driving Lexus, It depends on the problem you are having with your Lexus. For me, I have a pocket scanning device which I use to scan for engine troubles and most time it’s always something I can fix myself. But I have reliable boys at the back of the prison yard who help me with the legs… I have been using them for years because any mechanic you took your car to in Ibadan is still coming to gate to buy the part. That is why I love the prison yard right beside the market |

9icetoo: Yes you can. To give the tyre a better chance of surviving our pothole infested roads, you can take the pressure up to 35psi. Cheers Away from the Vawulence I’ve got feedback… I reduced the Tyre pressure to 35psi and the road noise I usually feel went away… And the handling feel much better |

Quick question boss, I changed my tire from “55 to “60, and the service history that came with the car said pressure should be 32 for both front and rear tire. Can I maintain the service history and put 32 in the 60 inches tire ?? Car is ES 330 05 |

Car Talk › Re: Honda Accord 2011 Engine Issue by homeboy205: 8:26pm On Oct 09, 2021 |
asomix22: Good evening. I changed my Honda Accord Engine this year. After about 2 months coming back from a road trip, the engine knocked. A mechanic said the knock is due to the oil pump not supplying.
I got a new engine 2 weeks afters and in less than two weeks, i was hearing a noise from the car, so i chacked and someone said its the adjuster that is making noise.
The mechanic now came to pick the car with thr hope of changing the adjuster. After changing it, the noise persisted. That lead to the mechanic checking the engine and upon checking, the Camshaft was bad. Again, the mechanic said the oil pump failed and that was what led to the damage.
I will like to understand the likely cause. Two engines in less than 4 months.
Please note that i used different mechanics to install the two engines. Maybe na wrong oil you Dey use  |

Advice welcome thanks Lol they want you to change the whole gearbox without changing oil ?? What happen when the new one also start delaying engagement?? You buy another ?? Omo na scam.. run ooo.

3kay945: Can you explain this last paragraph better sir, what do you mean by "remove spark plugs and start again"? You mean to clean spark plugs and start the car? He meant when you removed spark plug from the spark plug well, it will allow the water to blow out because water can’t compress inside the combustion chamber and cause serious damage like this at high RPM |
