I hereby attest that this guy, Midoda, is legit. I experienced super quick delivery. Ordered from Benin around 1pm and it got to Benin same day. Excellent customer support, original product.

Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.

HeavenlyBang:
Price?

Also, do you sell MB coolant?

weyreypey:
5W 40 izzit. I'll go with Mikey on this...then join autologic in the MB approval ratings for the oil to be used.

There are three types of engines that I used to sell (the more I age into Nigeria the more I really don't even what to get into automotive repair, but that's another thread).

1) Crate engine - you get facgtopry warranty. No refund. Take it up with the manufacturers district Manager.

2) Rebuilt engine - will have 1,000 miles/30 days warranty against workmanship.

3) Junkyard engine - I will test it for compression, change front and rear seal. No warranty but may accept trade.

Gazzuzz has offered a refund, something that I wouldn't even consider because how do I know what nonsense has been done with the engine (I hear a neighbor warm up a modern Corolla every morning by taking it immediately to redline - I cringe).

_______________

Before I met Gazzuzz he helped me attempt an escrow with another seller on here for N500K. I sent the money to him. The escrow fell apart within minutes. I had wanted him to hold on to the money in case of another opportunity to buy. He sent the money back immediately. I know he lost time as well as money trying to help me.

He used his logistics company to pickup some items from RadAuto and he also personally delivers it to the motorpark for delivery to me in Ibadan. He hasn't asked me for a penny. I know it cost him time and money. I can't wait to pay him back.

Human relationship is a two way street. As an employee of a major company in the USA I have been coached that the customer is always right. As the owner of my own company only the good customer is always right. I think I'm the only one in Nigeria that has this sign posted in his office.
Oga that sign is at Ikeja City Mall way before you came back.

My oil change is now more than 6 months but way less than 6,000 Km. Do I have to change oil now given that in the next 3 months I might not hit 10,000km still? I used 5W30 by the way. Thank you.

Okeyworlu:
How much for 0w20?

replete:
I meant the liquimoli oil

replete:
Why so dark?

HeavenlyBang:
Which dirty truth. There's not a single metric anywhere in the world that would show Mercedes as being cheaper to maintain than Toyota. Not in the US, not in the UK.

kingreign:
highly debatable.

mrsdaniel:
Okay you mentioned "if not better than mobil 1" , do you use same brand ? What's the experience been like? What's also price range for 5w 30 fully synthetic

GAZZUZZ:
Leave the transmission oil alone.

Any good brand of DextronIII is ok for powersteering

mrsdaniel:
Okay thanks.. If cost is relatively affordable ,no issues Meanwhile, I hope it's also generally available in open market,that's sole reason most seek for good alternatives after hearing the price of mobil 1 at fuel stations

Having been to a couple of nations and one thing I noticed about blacks and Africans is that we love showmanahip... Once a car comes out, you go to dealership, trade the other one then impress your fellow black Folks with the car not impressing them with your strides or intellectual sagacity... This is the black culture in europe and usa

Now we as Nigerians have copied that mentality, we say this car is old and that car is old, let's take the C Class benz of 2003 model, to some folks they would say it's old but in Germany and Austria even UAE, They still drive that ride well maintained...

That C class has 6 airbags (2 dashboard and 4 at the doors ) some 2020 cars don't even have the number of those airbags , full 4matic

With ESP, BAS , ETS and all those safety features in that C Class most 2018 cars don't have them apart from basic ABS

Now people would look at the C class as old without asking how does it handles , drives, corners and the 0 - 60 km ...

No the average black Nigerian would say he is driving a 2003 benz while I am driving a 2015 Camry without asking what and why ?

You see that is black folks mentality and it has to do with rap culture carry over ... As you age in life , maybe in 40s you will realize that you don't need to start changing cars everyday... That is if you are legit... You start planning for your retirement

In 30s or late 20s you are mad about models and age in cars... We understand, it is their age ( if you look at those guys theey fall into that age bracket ) new moneys

If your in late teens and early 20s, you will be mad about phones, every year you change phones to impress and you are mad about Gucci, Versace, givenchy , prada etc

Now if you are in your 50s and getting matured you are thinking about holiday homes, investments, kids graduation etc

So at a point don't blame them in a way... It's their age but most of them carry this mentality to late 40s and at the end of the day 50s would be a life of regret

So , when I see them talk here on nairaland and social media... I just laugh and move on... I learnt this from wise old men that are living comfortably

I will not want to say in my late 40s and 50s that I drove so so so and so cars and I drove 10 cars

I would want to say, I am happy for the life lived and I am staying in my home and can travel for vacation anywhere I wannt .... People rarely impress me with the model of cars but how it is well maintained.

I would value a citroen 1985 model (vintage ) to 2018 model of Honda... The 1985 model would turn heads

That's how I want to roll in future... Driving clean vintage cars

Please house what can be the cause of frequent fan belt cut? My Mercedes Benz (GLK350) fan belt has been cutting to pieces this days, within a week I have changed 2 different fan belt which I think is unusual. The belts got collapsed while driving. I have been using the car for over 3 years now and I have not experienced such before.
