These unstable lots have spoiled this fine thread

MASTAkiLLAh:
How come EVERY other tribe is about the "election" of Obiozor apart from South Easterners ? I come in peace though

Because it was zoned to Imo State! The governor took it personal to install one of his own. The tribe you don't want to mention is southwest, they are only happy because he was elected by APC, a party they have interest in. Southeast never cared about who becomes Ohaneze ndi Igbo. The association have no impact in the life of an average igbo man. They don't shape opinions here.

Paperworka:
Your new PG of Ohanaeze ndigbo IS A PRODUCT OF JIHAD, you might not know this because you have aligned yourself to the throne and therefore beclouded by the gain henceforth.

What You need help

Paperworka:
it is simply because they are the medium through which Fulani could gain access to our lands and borders fraudulently, not only because they are 99% corrupt but they are all sellouts

Mind you any state in the North that has an Emir is an indication of Fulani domination except (BORNU) But little did they know that the TERM Ohaneze has no place in Igbo ancestry.

The way you IPOBs or IPOB apologist mention Fulani everywhere is becoming stale. Igbos reside in the North, even in the most remote place, eking a living and relating nicely with the indigenes of that area. But IPOBs in all social media want the world to believe that Fulani is their enemy. Are you people daft You people antagonize everyone but Nnamdi Kanu. Somebody who uses the young people in the southeast in his scheming. How can you claim that OHANEZE leadership is a medium for Fulani to gain access? Gain access to where? Stop ridiculing the great Igbo race with your victim mentality. You constantly vilify Nnia Nwodo till his tenure ended. The ESN formations remains a charade and a staged make belief security outfit that does not exist anywhere. Most the boys that went to south south for training have returned home to to feed off their parents, while we are meant to believe that ESN is some where working for us. It is terrible. A corn artist he is

Arrewa:
why do you guys like deceiving yourselves?? You think kano is Lagos that igbos dominanted the Bussiness sectors??

The Hausafulanis dominted every sector in kano... Igbos no get mouth here... That's why they make less noise.

And as it is... There's a coded boycott of Igbo traders...

Once they say wanan Shagon Nyamiri ne... It will be boycotted.

We rather buy from our people or go to other tribes but not Igbos.

50% our people are boycotting the Igbos...

Bigot.

May & Baker Nigeria Plc gets a new Director

May & Baker Nigeria Plc has appointed Dr. Samuel Maduka Onyishi as its new Non-Executive Director.

Dr Onyishi, who was appointed during the company’s last Annual General Meeting (AGM), has also been recommended by May & Baker’s board for election as a Director of the company.

https://nairametrics.com/2019/03/27/dr-samuel-maduka-onyishi-joins-may-baker-nigeria/

The Over 2000 drivers in the employ of Peace Mass Transit (PMT)have been receiving refresher training on safe driving at the Emene, Enugu Headquarters of the company.

The training, which has been ongoing since the onset of ‘Ember Months, takes the drivers through conventional safety drills and basic customer relations expectations. PMT safety and Customer Service Departments regularly oversee these rehearsals which are designed to keep drivers properly grounded on matters of safety and customer handling.

This time around, the exercise coincides with the launch of some additional 100 brand new Hiace Buses, to re-jig the PMT fleet. Safety Manager, Sunday Igwegbe, himself a retired State Traffic Officer (STO) has been impressing it on the drivers to make use of the opportunity of the refresher to update themselves with the rudiments of defensive and safe driving. “Sometimes, doing the same thing regularly can make you take things for granted”, he explained. ” This exercise is meant to test them afresh, remind of their obligations to our passengers and other road users, particularly this busy period when there are more vehicles on the highway, many driven by amateurs “. ” We keep doing this regularly because that is the only way to go”, Igwegbe pledged

@ lalasticlara, @domonique help me send it to headquarters. It is newsworthy

Samuel Maduka Entrepreneurial University under construction

Peace Mass Transit Workshop Emene, houses an untra mordern maintenance workshop, lubricant plant, household and industrial chemical plant and an automobile assembling plant.

Who is Dr Samuel Maduka Onyishi?

Dr. Samuel Maduka Onyishi was born in Nsukka, Enugu State, in November 1963 and is considered a successful business mogul of the Enugu Northern extraction. owing to the loss of his father in his first year in secondary school, an incidence that forced him to assume the role of pseudo breadwinner to his family consisting of his widowed mother and siblings.[1] Dr. Sam Onyishi, as he is mostly called, attended the Enugu Road Primary School, Nsukka from 1971-1976 then was admitted into Bubendorf Grammar School, Adazi, in the present day Anambra State.[2] He contemplated tearing his certificate, since education seemed to mean nothing then given his reality. But an encounter with a kinsman who was 2 years below him in primary school a few years later would make him change his view about education, he returned to school later in life.[1] He got admission to do a Diploma Program at University of Nigeria, Nsukka, between 1993 – 1996 and later, a degree program from 1996 – 1999. He graduated with a Second Class Upper in Social works and Community development. He later got a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) in Entrepreneurship from the Institute for Transformative Thought and Learning in the Doctoral Research Centre of the University of Arizona, Phoenix, in the United States.

It was within the period of his university education that, in 1994, the Founder of Peace Group of companies, started his transportation business with 2 buses which has now grown to about 4,000 fleet of vehicles.[4]

In 2019 May & Baker Nigeria Plc has appointed Dr. Samuel Maduka Onyishi as its new Non-Executive Director. He was appointed during the company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM). Sequel to the appointment, he has also been recommended by May & Baker’s board for election as a Director of the company.

On 4 January 2020, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi laid the foundation for entrepreneurial university, Samuel Maduka University, Agu-Ekwegbe in Igbo Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State founded by the Chief executive officer of Peace Mass Transit (PMT) Company, Dr. Samuel Onyishi.[5]

On 7th January, 2021, He took over Actis's share in C&I Leasing through his company Peace Mass Transit to own majority stock[6] worth about 55.82% of the company's shares

Peace Mass Transit Limited has acquired 313,326,316 units of the Neoma Africa Fund L.L.C unsecured convertible loan stock registered at N4.75 each in C&I Leasing Plc.

This loan conversion will result in the issuance of 987,500,000 ordinary shares of C&I Leasing Plc to Peace Mass Transit Limited, which will represent 55.82% of C&I Leasing Plc’s issued shares.The loan conversion has been approved by C&I Leasing Plc’s shareholders at the company’s Extraordinary General Meeting held on 3rd November 2020, according to the statement released by the company.

The statement read “C&I Leasing Plc (“the Company”) hereby notifies The Nigerian Stock Exchange (The Exchange) and the investing public of the purchase of 313,326,316 units of the Neoma Africa Fund L.L.C. (formerly Aureos Africa Fund, L.L.C.) unsecured variable coupon redeemable convertible loan stock in registered units of N4.75 each or its US$ equivalent in C&I Leasing Plc by Peace Mass Transit Limited.

“The company was also notified that all requisite documents in connection with the transaction have been executed by parties. The loan stock, when fully converted, will result in the issuance of 987,500,000 (Nine Hundred and Eighty-Seven Million and Five Hundred Thousand) Ordinary Shares of the Company which will represent 55.82% of the issued shares of the Company.

The transaction will strengthen the capital base of The Company and improve clarity of the capital structure. This is highly beneficial to the company as the need for a possible redemption of the Notes, with the company’s cash resources, has been eliminated.

“It is against this background that the shareholders approved the Conversion of the Notes to ordinary shares at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 3rd November 2020.

“The purchase and eventual conversion of the shares will strengthen The Company’s credentials as a leading Nigerian-owned service provider with operations in Nigeria, Ghana, and the United Arab Emirates. The Directors believe that this is a very positive development for the Company.”

At the close of trading on, C&I Leasing equity price closed flat at N5.70 per share. YTD it is up by 9.62%.

I have never used either SAE 40 or 50 in my life. However, I have seen an entire fleet of brand new Toyota Hiase buses of an Inter state transport coy use Total Classic SAE 40 in drums as lube oil. This same company buys premium Michelin tires for their use, so its not that they couldn't afford 10W-40.

This thread was created on the day I saw a friend use the same oil and has been using on all his cars for 20yrs now. When he bought the oil, instead on convincing otherwise, I asked myself why not. It's a lesser evil to 20W50?



Start up wear - I am not convinced because in some places like Alaska, you crank at say -15°c but in Nigeria, I am not sure we get down to 30°C. Yes at 30°C SAE 40 will be thicker and have higher viscosity to 10W40 but the difference is waaaay less than 50%. What is the impact when you still have reasonable flow and that the engine gets to 60 in less that 2minutes with thermostat in place? My guess is insignificant. I think its not as bad as having 20W50 which cars survive on well over 400,000km.

High temperature protection - I don't agree

Monogrades are heavier - I agree 100% due to higher density

Fuel economy - I think it's too little of a difference in density to impact fuel economy



Not just test, they are graded primarily based on these test. Just as mono grade oil grading is based on viscosity at 40°C and100°C winter grades are graded based on viscosity at -15°c etc their significance deminishes as the engine gets warmer

My last take this;

You are not interested in their chemical composition, OEM approvals and API specifications. You are comparing 10W-40 and SAE 40 because they both have same temperature at 100deg when they are yet to be used (fresh oil). Have you considered running a used oil analysis say after 1000km mileage? Your used oil analysis will show the extent of viscosity loss, acid build up, oxidation, sludge formation, wear metals.

High temperature protection - I don't agree

you can only achieve 10W-40 formulation with a synthetic base oil, an oil that resists both oxidation and thermal degradation

I have seen an entire fleet of brand new Toyota Hiase buses of an Inter state transport coy use Total Classic SAE 40 in drums as lube oil.

That you saw them do it doesn't make it right, however the bus model and their lubricant specification/API must also be considered.

Finally ordinally road side base oil without any additives or treatment can even offer some protection, but for how long? Chemical additives helps to extend the useful life of an engine oil.

adanny01:
I agree with you partly.

Lets go practical.

Taking Kinematic Viscosity @100°C Mobil for instance

SAE 50 - 19.6
20W-50 - 20.5

SAE 40 - 15.5
10W-40 - 15.6

This means at engine operating temperature both SAE 40 or 50 will have nearly the same kiñematic viscosity as 10W-40 or 50.

Ask yourself, what is 10W-40, it is SAE 10W + SAE 40.

What is wrong with SAE 40 or 50 or any monograde oil, their problem is low temperature not high. At higher temperatures, the viscosity is at par.

To buttress the point, look at the graphs for SAE 30 and SAE 5W30 i shared earlier.

You will notice
1. The y axis scale on the left is kinematic Viscosity and it's the same for both graphs but not the same on the right which is density.
2. At 60-100°C both grades look exactly the same but start to defer marginally from 60 downwards. That's where the difference is.

Viscosity index is a relationship between Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C and 100°C. As seen above, what changes the Viscosity index is the Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C while the higher remains the same. Looking into Viscosity index in this case will not be a clear picture of the relationship between mono and multi grade oils.

SAE 50 is indeed 20W50 at 100°C but not the same at 40°C.

The point of this thread is to explore the fact that at 100°C a Winter graded oil isn't necessary. The question is at what low temperature is the winter grade absolutely necessary, I think 40°C is still not it. Meanwhile cold cranking values of viscosity of winter oils are meant for sub zero temperatures.

In other words, what's the harm in using a monograde in place of multigrade when in the first place most people use 20W50 in place of 5W20 for example. SAE 40 seems to me a lesser evil than 20W50 as substitute for 5W20.

OK

Lets go practical.

Taking Kinematic Viscosity @100°C Mobil for instance

SAE 50 - 19.6
20W-50 - 20.5

SAE 40 - 15.5
10W-40 - 15.6

Yes they both have the same kinematic viscosity @ 100 deg, however they behaves differently at this temperature. SAE 50 achieved its viscosity (19.6) with just base oil alone, however SAE 20W-50 achieved its viscosity with a base oil and a viscosity index improver chemical additives. Remember viscosity is a measure of fluids resistance to flow and shear. This viscosity index improver additives is a polymeric chemical substance whose molecules tend to stretch out as temperature increases, thereby increasing the fluids internal friction causing the fluid to flow at a slower rate. when the fluid flows at a slower rate, the viscosity increases. The implication is the oil thickens as the temperature increases.

SAE 50, SAE 40 does have Viscosity index improver additives as a component during its formulation.

These chemicals include: Polymethacrylates (PMA), Polyisobutylene (PIB),Olefin Co-polymers(OCP) etc.

The point of this thread is to explore the fact that at 100°C a Winter graded oil isn't necessary. The question is at what low temperature is the winter grade absolutely necessary, I think 40°C is still not it. Meanwhile cold cranking values of viscosity of winter oils are meant for sub zero temperatures.

Yes winter grades are subjected to cold cranking tests usually at -15deg, this only helps to explain the fluidity or the cranking viscosity at that temperature, The advantage is that oil will not freeze but will remain fluid in order to continue it's lubricant function. it will also paint a picture of cranking viscosity of the oil let say at 25deg. During engine start-up, multi-grade oils reaches its destination faster even in warmer climates.

Seems you care less about start-up wear, high temperature protection and fuel economy(mono-grades are heavier)

I wouldn't advise anyone to use SAE 50/40 in any PCM

adanny01:
Getting it right seems to be our local issue. The challenge ranges from supply, price, quality and even the knowledge.

A lot of drivers don't know what oil to use and even when to change it. My concern here is the engine oil spec.

The average US cars we import have a recommendation of 5w-20, 5w-30, 0w-20, 0w-30. The most common oil in Nigeria is 20w-50 followed at a distance by 10w-40.

Lets break the oil spec down one more time.

These are multigraded oils, meaning it is one grade of oil at one temperature and another grade at another temperature. It basically has a wide temperature tolerance.

Before going further, a monograde oil such as SAE 50 becomes too thin at temperatures well greater than 100°C and will be thicker at temperatures well less than 100°C. The main issue is flow and lubrication. At temperatures say 0°C, an SAE 50 will not flow well and thereby the engine with such oil is operating technically without lubrication which is disastrous.

This gave birth to multi grade oil that will flow and lubricate at 0°C as well as at 100°C and still maintain the specific viscosity it is meant to.

Meanwhile let's keep in mind that most engines operate at an optimum operating temperature of 90-100°C.

Lets use 20W-50 for example

20W - the W is "Winter" graded at SAE 20 winter
50 - means the SAE 50 grade

The SAE grades we have are 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 for engine oils.

Now to the crux of the topic, all Winter grades are specifically engineered for cold cranking and starting which are relevant for sub zero temperatures.

The practice of constantly recommending a multigrade oil when we can equally use a cheaper monograde oil in our climate arises. Why use 5W-20 when the 5W isn't relevant to our climate. We could be using SAE 20, SAE 30, SAE 40 and SAE 50 instead of the more expensive multigrade versions.

I saw someone using Total Classic SAE40 for a 2010 car and I couldn't talk since it actually doesn't make sense to use 10W-40 in a climate that will hardly get down to 10°C.

See the graphs for 0W-30 vs SAE 30

The real major difference starts at less than 30°C. I have done live scan in several seasons and have never seen even coolant level at 30°C.

It is safe to conclude we don't have winter and we don't require multigrade oils.

My thoughts actually.

Multi-grade engine oils are still better in their response to temperature changes. Multi-grade engine oil contains viscosity index improver chemical additives, consequently they have high viscosity index than monograde.
Comparing SAE 50 and SAE 20W-50 whose viscosity index is 95 and 120 respectively (minimum) by Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) standards or whose kinematic viscosity @ 40 degrees is around 240cSt and 180cSt respectively. The above results implies that SAE 50 has low viscosity index and will be adversely affected by low and high temperature changes. At a low temperature not necessary less than zero degrees, like cranking the engine, the oil will be thicker and will not circulate faster, leading to wear in some areas in the engine. However SAE 20W-50 with better viscosity index and a lower cranking viscosity during engine start-up or warm up shows faster circulation and better engine protection during cold or warm start of engine.

Secondly is the apparent viscosity at high temperature and high shear rate, When both oils are in service, and the engine is fully operational, the engine temperature has become very high, analyzing the relative thickness of both oils shows that multi-grade will still have a high thickness compared to monograde. The viscosity at high temperature and high share rate at this point in time reveals that multi-grade offers better protection at high temperature than monograde.
