Ipaja is far. It would take you 20 mins to get to ikeja along if there is no traffic. Then u start journey to get to gbagada and climb thirdmainland! On 2k fuel?? Are u kidding me right here? Then u return again! Bros ur damaging ur engine because your fuel warning lights must come on when you begin the return journey. I need to see your Corolla Infiniti i swear!

Lekki __ Ozumba ___APongbon ___ Maryland __ Ikeja __ Iyana Ipaja

If he is going to be buying a Naija used version, I am dead sure that it hasn't been maintained properly.
So he might as well do an overhaul, trans oil, differential oil, brake fluid flush, spark plug change, coolant change, engine & trans oil filters
engine air filters, cabin air filters for peace of mind, which is not even guaranteed.

Pipedreams:
Ok say you cover 30k km per year and manual says 80k km for transmission oil change. Do the maths. Does it not leave it at under 3years?? You scaring princevih saying he should budget 50k for every service thats a lie. 20 to 25k is more than enough and I drive my car for 8 to 9 months before an oil change! Strictly 5w30!!

If you were standing in front of me, I would have slapped you heavily. Just cos' you want to win an argument; you just quickly type and did not comprehend. Did you not see where I said "you might have to change" emphasis on the word "might"
and i appended . . "according to the mileage schedule"
Go back and read please before I get angry.

Pipedreams:
Yup did i argue? You said every 80,000 km. Can you cover dat in 2years?? I use less than 15000km per year on my car

You are too slow.Just because you dont cover 15k km per year; doesnt mean some people dont cover 25k km per year.
Speak for yourself only.

Pipedreams:
Keep ur manuals. Anyone can download a pdf manual of any vehicle online thanks to google

Why e dey pain you? Your own was naija used and didn't come with manual eh.
Well, I can't find the service bulletin,I guess my daughter must have played with it and dropped it somewhere. Well I have for the Benz intact; so I will be using it a case study of what proper car service is. It doesn'tcome cheap. Pictures attached.

Pipedreams:
50k is too much. Air filters is 2500 You dont change transmission oil all the time. It can be flushed once im two years depends on how dirty or if it smells burnt. You can just keep topping it. You dont change spark plugs all the time too. Its bascially oil and oil filter and maybe breakpads

Let me quickly get the owners manual and service bulletin. Mercedes recommends changing transoil, every 60k or so. And trans oil is about 80k for oem. Hold on a bit.

Pipedreams:
Lol Where do you buy premium fuel in Lagos? NNPC
Bros you can NEVER drive an infiniti on 2k fuel from Ipaja to Lekki and back!!! You did not even say Maryland or Gbagada to lekki cos its feasible but not Ipaja! Near Ayobo! Guy this is not a 4 plugs!! No gas station in this country sell quality fuel most have low octane levels!

Are you saying the trip computer on my infiniti is faulty or what I dont get you? It said 15litres, give or take +5. Thats fine. You sure do know at lower speeds, you burn less fuel but travel takes more time. You want a video proof ?

Pipedreams:
No mind am. Where he wan see premium fuel. Na Octane booster he dey mix which is not so good

Stop trying to be popular by name bashing. Even Mercedes benz recommends the addition of additives to your fuel; as long as you know its comparible. Do you need proof?

AutoElectNG:
Please show me the way

They dont sell premium fuel in Nigeria
So I was basically saying it how sooperrescue says it.
Go figure

princevih:
thanks so much man, nd lastly when doing it's routine maintenance do u spend up 2 50k e.g oil, filter,plugs, octane boosters e.t.c wen u replace broken parts(wit oem 1s) does it last longer dan all dis toyota nd hondas parts dat dies b4 5mnths. Cus i love solid nd gallant vehicles dats 1 of d reason i love d fx35.

Budget 50k or more for a thorough maintenance
as prescribed in the maintenance manual.
Maintenance goes beyond oil and filter change.
Download the manual. You might even need to change air filters, differential oil. trans oil, wipers
depending on the mileage schedule.

Pipedreams:
You lie! 100km with 2k fuel bros no now from ipaja to lekki and back!!! Remember ur using normal naija fuel cos we dont sell quality premium gas that was recommended by manufacturers. It may be possible if you drove back on complete empty which is bad for ur fuel pump and engine. It would do 60 to 65 if u drive smoothly on the highway with no traffic and much braking. Then 50km within the city or less!

These cars are fuel guzzlers! Princevih is looking at fuel economy please respect ur self and buy corolla or honda i4. Infiniti parts are expensive if u go for brandnew! But i buy tokunbo parts in ladipo whiich does not cost so much. The only part i changed that was brandnew was the stabilizer linkage which cost me 19k! Unlike camry that u can buy for 2500.

Ps: I drive an infiniti G35x 2007 VQ35HR engine

Manners maketh man! Never come on an online forum and say somebody lies. I repeat , the car comes with a fuel economy graph and display and like I said earlier, at gentle driving, its 15l per 100km, if I am revving like mad, it climbs to 18l per 100km. If yours guzzle fuel, I think you should tune it. I have a C300 4Matic, 3.0 V6 engine. Which you might say is also a fuel guzzler.
But the car disables some cynlinders on deceleration and also when cruising. I am not sure if the fx does disable cylinders on deceleration, but i know it shuts off some while cruising. So typically, at a constant speed, it behaves like an i4 instead of a v6. It will only deliver power of v6 when accelerating or when needed as programmed by the drivetrain module.
I repeat, if your infiniti is consuming excessive fuel, go for a checkup. By the way, I use premium fuel. Go figure.

princevih:
dis is wat u shud av said nt saying i shud buy golf1 ah ah u ar 2 ash tnks though 4 d advise, bt can u tel me abt d fuel economy? Lyk hw long does a full tank lasts?

Your question is relative! Since it depends on distance, condition of engine, correctness of wheel size and tire pressure, etc.
Ceteris paribus, you should do 100km with about 15litres, at least that is what my FUEL ECONOMY graph shows. If I drive like an idiot, it goes to about 18litres.
For the power and pleasure derived, to hell with fuel economy.

I actually did Lekki to Ipaja and back on a quarter tank of fuel with full A/C and moderate traffic, bad roads etc some weeks ago.

princevih:
@dguy above me it seems u dnt knw 1 of d laws of marketing which says "the lower d demand d lower d price". And secondly u dnt knw me nor d size of my pckt so stop ur sillyness, i wil jst pretend i did nt see dat trash u wrote, u cud have jst told me dat 900k or 1m isnt enough mayb 1.5m or 1.7m wil get me a gud 1. Pls try 2 b polite nd show maturity next time wen replying sm1s post... Me writting 900k or 1m does nt mean i cant add 500k 2 it 2get wat i wnt, there is wat we call " bargaining power". Pls infiniti lovers in d house shud pls ignore d trash d guy above me wrote nd give me reviews on d fx35 nd wat 2 expect on maintenance cost thanks.

I made a comment, common sense should have told you I drive one. I own the same fx35 you inquire about while my wife is on the verge of getting the facelifted version, a 2010 precisely, and I kid you not, that rubbish about demand and supply doesnt work. You will get a lemon vehicle, even at 1.5m. The fuel pump alone , Aunty Radu will sell for 100k upwards. Shock absorbers about 60k plus a pair. 3.5 VQ engine, premium fuel recommended. OEM brand new headlamps, north of 150k; You had better buy premium insurance too values at nothing less than 150k with excess buyback.
If you want a good naija used, your budget is 2M plus and you still need heavy praying and fasting.
Stay away from Naija used as you have been adviced.
If you cannot afford the toks now, wait and save more. Luxury cars are better purchased new or toks!
This is not a Corolla. Oya receive sense!
p.s.: I dont need to know you. You mentioned 900k, something about first impressions lasting longer.

princevih:
pls has any1 used d fx35 06 model nd above? Am planning 2 get 1 very soon so, i need user reviews nd wat 2 expect on maintenance cost, nd lastly would 900k or 1m get me a very clean nd well maintained naija used?

hmmm i laugh in Hellenic language. ..

You have 900k & you want to start picking up broads, huhs?

You will buy one that will not even make it to the fuel station immediately after purchase.

You better go and buy a golf 1; for now the fx is way above your league.

DUNKA:
Goodmorning house please how long does it take for battery balancers to sync the battery voltages?

Not even a week, I can tell.
Except for brand new batteries where balancers were added at first run, then it happens faster.

Thanks; does this mean I have to preorder. I was chanced to see DuraMax Global ATF
Although its states that it supports MB 236.14 but I am scared for my transmission;
as it's not among the approved list for MB

Good morning house,

Please what is the best ATF for 08 C300 4matic?

Where can I purchase in Lagos?

Price idea ?

Thanks

vin?

fearnot1:
I really appreciate your effort , i will consult my importer and report the case to him .

If i have something to hide i won't have posted the VIN.

FEAR NOT .

I give it to you for posting the VIN.

It is accident-free pre-importation; but you should as well post pictures of dashboard showing mileage too

for perfect transparency.

lerry009ri:
Correct! You are absolutely right.
I have check for the VIN report before i asked for the mileage to confirm how sincere the seller is.

If its truly 100k, then it's an odometer rollback incidence.

I wouldn't buy a 340k vehicle; has suffered too much "wear and tear" unless they can prove to me

it's highway miles.

Anyways, I fear not.
