Hi guys/gurus,

I just bought a Nigerian used Honda Civic 2006, last month, the owner was using 20w-50, after the whole servicing, I changed the oil to 5w-20 (as recommended on the engine cover),

The car started bringing out blue smoke on startup, but now it's worse, the smokes follows me everywhere while driving without stopping and gets worse whenever I step on the accelerator.. while the check engine light is showing .

I showed 2 Mechanics and without opening the bonnet, they assumed its the rings and needs engine rebuild/ringing..

Please advise gurus

Listen to the advice given by cyborg123.
However, there are two or three things you need to understand.
First one is that as the car is getting old, the engine will be requiring thicker oil to lubricate it because the engine will be wearing out and only thick oil like 20w50 can protect it.
Secondly, previous owner has been using 20w50 and the engine is already adapted to that thick oil, reverting back to thinner oil (5w30) which is the factory recommended will cause damage because the engine is already adapted to the thick oil (20w50) which has been protecting it. If you now apply 5w30, it will be too soft for the engine and friction will take place, causing more wearing out.
Third point is that, there might be sludge in the engine already which should have been flushed out first before applying the factory-recommended oil. If you apply the light oil (5w30) without removing the sludge, engine will damage quicker and you will be seeing smoke.
Solution: Overhaul the engine if you have a very competent mechanic OR buy a new engine.

U called for an interview and he accepted and u want it on ur own terms , instead of his.. I will not blame the president...there's a tough situation in his country now concerning the hijab and CNN and Western media as usual wanna make it sensational... the women in his country are protesting and u want to interview him without a hijab so that the protest will now get out of control....Western media and manipulation

You are wrong. The Iranian law cannot hold water outside Iran soil. Raisi cannot export his laws into USA and impose it on another citizen in her country.

What is their benefit if Tinubu loses, what else do they want, have they not done enough damage?

My people are everywhere not just Lagos..

The number of igbos in douala only is *5 the number of Igbos in you Lagos..

We are travellers not cave men..

Stop feeling funky!

Then you people should stay in your douala concentration camp and stop messing up Lagos with your filths.

lightskinnigga:
This is Lagos where they told you is better than London.

Apparently, aba is doing better than Lagos atm

Your people doing business in Ojo, Alaba International, Ladipo Market, Festac Amuwo-Odofin, Ago Palace Way/Okota, Mushin, Ikeja computer village and other places produce the garbages that block Lagos drainages and cause the flood, tell them to relocate back home with all their dirts and Lagos will enjoy its peace again. Cheers.

...

What an eyesore..

And these is the most developed state in afonja land that they won't allow us to hear word about...

Ask your people why do they keep flocking Lagos for greener pastures despite the dirts and floods?

lightskinnigga:
See the New York of Nigeria..

It’s sinking and no one cares..they rather throw juvenile tantrums about the eastern region

During dry season, you people will say you develop Lagos, during rainy season, you same people will turn around and deny Lagos. I don't know how you guys manage to be so jealous and bitter at the same time.

Buddha3:
Thought they said Muslims don't shake women?

See their moronic Lord and saviour bending to shake a woman and smiling sheepishly in the process!

Their Islamic laws are only meant for the poor among them.

Tochi3:
Someone that denies his Name, his certificate, his state of origin, himself , deny everything that is associated with him including his urchins and his own people.... In the voice of " where are the coooooowwws"

Don't forget that he also denies his real age too.

Omihanifa:
foolish child. They don over brainwash am. Instead of him to be worried that at 37 his life is meaningless, he’s busy defending what he doesn’t understand.

All those bigots in the north should go and bail him now so that he can end up killing them

Maybe when he finally come out of jail in 30yrs time TG OMORI will help him shoot his musical video

Who told you that he will spend 30 years in jail? In the north, if you killed a person for blasphemy, you did the right thing. All these media noise are only to deceive the world, they will release him through the backdoor. Don't forget that those that killed Deborah over alleged blasphemy in Sokoto were only charged for disturbing public peace and did you hear anything after that?

Did you drive the car for a long time when your rewire changed the ECU? I'm sure if you drive that car with the second ECU (brain box) that your rewire used, the ECU will pick the error codes again and all the lights will come back.

Dem suppose first rush bring dem come out which one come be the photoshoot first....

The photoshoot is meant for doubting thomases who normally ask for photos before believing anything.

Amerengues2:
Hmm

Asefon kept using "crack" instead of "quack". I hope this one doesn't disappoint

I thought I was the only one that heard that blunder from him, his command of English language is too quack for someone like him.

UselessBuharist:
I’ll just make it brief, I was in my early 20’s, my friends talked me into the journey but I didn’t know they were not travelling with us until the day we left Nigeria.

I didn’t have much information about the journey but because they told me it’s easy and fun I left Nigeria with them.

We were arrested and taken to prison on Sunday and we broke the prison on Tuesday and escaped. We were chased all night……. Na long story bro I hope I get to document all that happened on that trip one day. I lost my left eye as a result of the beating I got from the guys that were invited to beat me.

That was a very sad experince. That Europe that you almost lost your life to reach, very soon you will be tired of going there by God's grace. Sorry bro.

BRIMBRAM:
What is your own ambition in life or you don't have any?

My ambition is to enslave you and your future generations for life since I now know that your own only ambition is to remain as slave for others.

I dont know about the car but I notice it is not as common on the road as Ford Galaxy, Toyota Picnic, VW Sharan or Opel Zafira.

I want to agree with that opinion. Those 2007-2011 CRV look really feminine with the shape and all the curves. I think I like the shape of the older 2003-2006 models, especially the 05-06 models.

PenSniper:
You got it. This was a life-threatening situation. So there is no going back. Escape for dear life by the whiskers !!!

Oh, that is serious! In that case, I support that you move without hesitation though I wish to know the details.

Such kind of relative would drain you until you come back to Nigeria empty handed and join the relatives in the aluta continua suffering. They are the kind of relatives that will divert money sent for a building project for their own personal lavish spending not minding how the hustler abroad is risking her life to survive.
That your sister is heartless and callous. Hope you are not sending any money to her for any other thing because I can assure you, she will practically stop working and be using your money to shine and live an extravagant life here. That your sister cannot be trusted, therefore look for any other available guardian that you can entrust your child with.

Klass99:
You made me smile, what exactly is good about the relationship between OP and her sister? OP is the one being good by taking care of her sister's responsibility towards her children, while the sister is being a typical grabber and entitled relative. There is nothing good about parasitic relatives who leech off you, who only know how to take, take and take some more, hardly ever giving back in return. Blood should never be thicker than water when it comes to such relatives.

God bless you. Such kind of relative would drain her until she comes back to Nigeria empty handed and join the relatives in the aluta continua suffering. They are the kind of relatives that will divert money sent for a building project for their own personal lavish spending not minding how the hustler abroad is risking her life to survive.

I haven't been able to sleep since yesterday. I'm a promising young guy and still in school and this girl is my bestie in school.
We do it regularly and without condom, I never knew it will end like this.
Pls i'm just an orphan and still very young.. I need advice on how to handle this situation now..

##Mature minds only and no insult pls.

Well the deed is done already. Make sure she doesnt harm the pregnancy and you keep the child. The next thing now is for the two of you to arrange how to meet her family (and yours). Be prepared for all manner of insults and she should be ready to face hers as well. Having a child at a very young age has many advantages. Everyone should ensure that her education does not suffer for it and you also must start having a source of income because fatherhood is not an easy thing in today's Nigeria.

PenSniper:
But you're female

Lol, the guy forgot that he is a female.
So how far with the divorce process? Honestly I dont like when couples who were once in love with eachother and have fought many battles against their homes together, to now start thinking of divorce except there are cases of violence and life-threatening differences. I wish the two of you could swallow the pride by coming together and tackling the problem headlong. It is well sha.

Did the guy offend you before, why did you make him look like anaconda?

OP, i just read your update on the issue. From your narration, I notice that your so-called wife is very immature and highly dependent on her family decision for her life. If she truly does not have any issue with you, why did she leave your home in the first place and why giving you condition of opening shop for her before she can fully reconcile with you? Is it to prove to her family that you are a capable man? Or are you sure she is still not been pushed by her family to request for this before they can fully accept you ?
Anyway, if it is convinient for you and you are sure she is not trying to use you to achieve financial freedom and then turn against you again, you may open the business for her but make sure the business is close to where you stay and not where she stays with her people, make sure everything is in your name in case problem arises again, so that you can have evidence of what you did and she wont deny you establish her. I wish you all the best.

Richy4:
If I understand what you posted up there correctly, She was not refusing out rightly? She gave a valid reason which is endangerment not from you but from unforeseen on the road....Do you really want her to endanger your child after stating those facts?..

You can also say that you can't come because of the same reason (insecurity) and speak to her on zoom... She is a kid and little things impresses them...It doesn't even warrant opening a thread

But if somebody asks the wife to come to another state with the baby to collect N1million, she will not see the danger on the road, would she? The truth is that she has been advised not to take the child to him. She or her people don't trust the guy, They may be thinking the guy wants to collect the baby from her. Her refusal to come will surely be due to some reasons linked to their separation.

missyojo:
Better still go to the office he was working before he died and ask how you will go about it. I'm sure you will find the answers you need there.

I wish you best wishes!!

DO THIS FIRST BEFORE ANY OTHER THING.

This should have been a nice write-up but the moment you started advertising BAT in the so-called sunday school lesson, you spoiled everything. Tinubu's main goal is to achieve his number one life long ambition and leave the inheritance of his wealth he acquired through Lagos and Nigeria for his children and future generations.

The whole issue is easy to decode. Police team stopped the youths' vehicle to ask them questions and search through their phones trying to tag them as yahoo guys. The guys resisted the molestation and started recording the argument to nail the police for going against the proper duty conduct. Police too started recording the scene as an evidence of people resisting law enforcement agents from carrying out their "lawful" duties.
Last last, these guys will not go scot free as the case has already been escalated to the police authorities. Disciplinary actions may be taken against the police officers too if found culpable by the video evidence.

This is more reason the government is insensitive to the plight of the masses. They believe that no matter how high the price of beer is, people will not stop patronising beer parlours, so if people can afford to buy beer without complain, why should they complain about price of fuel and other commodities in the market? The government forgets that drinkers are not up to 15% of the adult population despite the huge turnover on sales of beer.
