Did you study agric related course?

Boss I studied Agric but don't know anyone..... How do one apply??

Angrigowt:
How much mobil. Okay were you the person who went to get the mobil

Yes I bought it 11,500 @4l

Angrigowt:
When u drained the oil. Was there sludge
What type of oil additives did u buy

No sir according to the mechanic coz I asked him, I dropped the vehicle with him coz I had something to attend too urgently. Mobil super power 1000 20w50.

Angrigowt:
Sure. There wpuld be a significant drop of stop smoke. U can go for resurs...lucas oul treatment or any foreign one. Check jiji .just type stop smoke engine additives.or use Google...drain out the useless old black oil .before drain it. Buy one can of engine flush.pour into the engine and run for good ten minutes.before u drain andrefil. When draining the oil.get a rag shirt or singlet.wrap it around the top of the keg or bucket where they want to drain the oil.so as to see the residues left at the surface of the rag...if u see metal particles or sludge ..then the engine don gather sludge.to make sure its mineral oil or synthetic oil.tell the mechanic to ope the valve cover.where u have the camshaft and timing chain. The colour of oil residues on the body of the cylinder head will give u a hint of oil being used in the engine before u got it. If its dark brown gold or light brown gold. Also go for thicker oil like 15w30 mobil.then use that thick lucas oil additive when putting the new oil. Make sure the engine is cold before u pour new oiland do not raise the acceleration . How will u know if it works. Cleanyour exhaust with a wet rag..the rag will turn black cos of carbon build up ..drive the car throughoutthat day. Then the followig day before u start the car
.go to the exhaust or muffler.dip your hand inside to see if u wil see heavy black powder carbon build-up or less carbon at the tip of the exhaust .that will tell u if it worked or not.

I did as you said and bought everything, there is a drastic change in the smoke. No longer smoking like before. In fact, I was told he should use it for days, it will go.

This thread don turn to "no gree for anybody"

Good evening, guys
Another advice I’d like to give is that we should refrain from addressing faceless (some without the gender qualifier) people on this platform with ‘bro’ - ‘hey bro, thanks bro etc’. You shouldn’t just assume that someone you’re chatting with/responding to is male (or female, in some cases). A simple ‘hey or thank you’ is better than misgendering someone.
Thank you

nothing we no go see for nairaland....Hey, thank you for the corrections.

What about federal fire service this year too 😔 will they also have increase in salary too??

Haahahahah you with this your federal fire service work hahahaha I no fit laff abeg.

Onyeka90210:

Alright
As it happened after an oil change you can consider that before going into deeper repairs, and also double check if it’s the correct oil weight, as a lighter weight oil will find it’s way past worn seals into the combustion chamber, so in most cases, it’s better to switch back to the oil weight that was previously used than to start diagnosing the engine for leaking seals which could be any from valve stem seals to piston rings.

Okay sir. Thanks.

Onyeka90210:

Before doing all that, you can check to see if the oil wasn’t over filled, since it only started after the oil change.
That’s a probable cause as well, as most Mechs just pour the 5 litres(5.3quarts) gallon, when most engines take about 4quarts (3.8litres).
That’s if the smoke is coming from exhaust.
As you didn’t specify where smoke is coming from.

Is coming from the exhaust

Thank you for the response. So the three major things are the Mobil oil, lucks stop oil and a can of engine flusher. Thanks so much

Angrigowt:
Tour valve stem seals are bad. They are leaki g oil into combustion chamber and getting burnt into the exhaust causing it to smoke heavily. No matyer the oil u use. It will still smoke. U can drain the old oil.flush the remaining with compressed air from vulcaniser..then when turning in the new oil.buy lucas stop smoke or any foreign one from 8k. Pls dont buy all those fake stop smoke of 1k 2k.it wont work.it only works on gold like colour of new engine oil and not black oil.

Thank you so much. The stop oil he bought was 2k self . So, when all this is done there will be a stop right??

Quick one please, Peugeot 307, what could be the cause of white heavy smoke and mixing after engine oil was changed??. The previous oil used was Mobil but my bros changed it to seahorse lubricant oil and even added stop smoke oil due to the heavy smoke. I suggested he drains the oil out completely and return back to the previous Mobil he was using. He said the mechanic gave him and advice that the seahorse was better. Please any solution and his throttle doesn't respond fast or accelerate when pressed on.

My people happy new year ohhh. May God see us through this year. Third quarter won't pass us by at all. Big Better go show and we go all smile.

Another sad news.

Benz C230 AC compressor, power steering cost please.

I understand now..... Consumes more fuel and more expensive to maintain. Thank you so much.

His own his different. Has he ever used a mercedes before? If not I will advise the M111 engine.

Does he have a reliable technician to fix it? If not he should walk away.

No sir he hasn't at all.... From your previous statement you said his is still pretty reliable meaning it can serve him any pros and cons of that his type?? And could be their main differences with the m111 engine.... Sorry for the questions but I will appreciate in a more plain manner. Thanks so much.

This is mercedes w203 c230 V6 I am referring to

No vex ohhh... I am more conversant with civics that's why. But I this his case, coz I can't still grab everything. With what I showed you on the pix and the engine displayed. Should he abort or continue from the pix I just shared.

Find a 4 cylinder m111 engine to buy. C200 or C180 or C230 kompressor leave that particular engine alone. Replacement is above a million naira.

Good evening all.... Please I have a question for a friend that wants to buy a Nigerian used Mercedes C230.

Please is it a good buy and to fix all those things will amount to what price. Thanks.
