this is one of the most bizzare question I have ever came across in a long time. I hope the father of evolution CHARLES DARWIN can answer this your question.

Hello NL, I drive a Nissan X-Trail 2008 model. I noticed this morning while warming the car that it now fires /raises it-self on and off.

I will very much appreciate expert advice from people with experience please.

I wish to know the cause and possible solution.

Regards.

Try to Understand him clearly, he wants to go with the mechanic to get the Engine, I don't see anything wrong. It is the proper thing to do. I would do same if i were in his shoes, atleast to know what I'm paying for and know it is genuine. So when it faults, I know where to go.

@coldplay007 I actually wouldn't recommend Gazzuzz to anybody, dude is quite petty. I had contacted him about my car, drove all the way from Surulere to Ogba on Saturday, he told me my engine would need to be replaced I heeded his counsel asked him to get me costing. On getting to His place today with plans of dropping off my car to return tomorrow for us to go get an Engine, dude started catching feelings, telling me "I should go look for a roadside mechanic who I will follow to the market to buy parts" for crying out loud we are talking of Engine replacement why shouldn't I be involved in the procurement process, even if I'm coming as a silent observer. Gazzuzz bluntly told me I should go back with my vehicle, just because I asked to go pick up my Engine with him. Saying I was disappointed is a huge understatement. Nonetheless I'm glad it happened at this point, not when I have invested my scarce resources and he starts to bring up shitty attitude. Same way I trusted my car to Qualityovenbake on Nairaland and he did a messed up job, coupled with the fact that he was way behind schedule.

Goodness me! Isn't it clear from the manual I've quoted verbatim? If Dubai is hotter than Nigeria then it's inadvisable to "stick to 5w30." Hm, places hotter in the US than Nigeria. Yes, no doubt but they don't have unremittingly high temperatures as we do. The same place that might have >35 degrees C could fall to <5 degrees. Do we have such fluctuations in Nigeria? The point is, if you use lower viscous oil in Nigeria they'd degrade so fast because the temps are constantly high. If you do don't change them on time then you risk your engine knocking.
Strange, you harp so much on the much vaunted 5w30 recommended by manuals, now when you are presented with another manual that prescribes otherwise and gives variations you say such manual cannot be right.
Have you ever thought why in the so-called hot areas of the US their radiator coolant contains anti-freeze properties? Here in Nigeria what we just have is the coolant? We don't need anti-freeze of course. For you, of course, the coolants here are to be discarded because they don't meet the requirements of the manuals.

The answer stares you in the face, yet you refuse to consider it. The car came from a temperate region; even then the original owner found it wise to move up to 10w40. Use our 20w50 which the manual referred to as "for other climate."
Let me quote what the factory service manual of your car says:
"For warm and cold areas: 10W-30 is suitable. The use of 5W-30 can have a positive effect on fuel economy (ACEA A1-98). For hot areas: 20W-40 and 20W-50 are suitable. For cold and warm areas: 10W-30 is preferable for ambient temperatures above −20°C (−4°F). On turbocharger models, 5W-20 is not recommended, and 5W-30 should be use only below 0°C (32°F). For hot areas: 20W-40 and 20W-50 are suitable."
Where would you put Nigeria: cold, warm, or hot?

Maybe its transmission fault or problem with the contacts points of the battery or witches might be using ya ba3 to charge their phone at night

Costee:
Yes, just as I expected: a convenient and unscientific subterfuge.

Costee:
Of course you can't see the logic in the sole example I've used. But do you have empirical data to prove the harmful effects of 20W50 in cars used in Nigeria?

Costee:
An incipient timing chain whine in my 2006 Maxima (the 6th Gen) was cured when I discontinued the use of a lower viscous engine oil for 20W50. The timing chain whine is an known issue with the 6th Gen, and even in the US car enthusiast are now well advised to use 10W40 in addressing the issue. Sludge, I believe, comes into the scene either from disuse or unusual extended use. I change my oil at 5,000km and I've never experience sludge or poor engine performance. All this is personal experience you'd say; but then I've been well served.

Costee:
Exaggeration.

GAZZUZZ:
There's a guy close to you, his name is kazeem ill search for his number, he's very good at honda repairs.

I wish the vehicle owner would be patient enough to wait while it ships. He's breathing down heavily on my neck.
