Please car gurus recommend the best car air freshener you have used. All the once I buy are not good.

I use Dove soap. Just find all these expensive bar soap perforate the pack and you have a nice fragrance for months

Both cars are top notch in their category. Venza is more recent 2009 vs RX330 that ended in 2006.

Venza 2.7L i4 engine is good on gas and still potent, has less ground clearance than Rx which makes it drive more like a sedan though it is a Camry wagon replacement.

If your road area is bad, the Rx is more practical, also has more cargo space with premium interior.

The Rx 3.3L engine is steel, so it may not fail total if it overheat but I don't like timing belt much and it is also an interference engine, so ensure to do preventative maintenance if you later get it.

Venza has a 2grfe 3.5L V6 engine which is very popular and solid.

Experts in the house, pls advise.

Wishing you all a prosperous celebration.

Use 5w30 engine oil.

If it is a full synthetic brand, you run it 6000kms 8000kms or 6months whichever comes first

If it is a mineral oil, you run it for 3000kms or 3months whichever comes first

I want to buy a first car and I am eyeing Lexus. either GS350 or ES350 the 2007-2012 [/b]generation.
My budget is [b]7 million naira max.
It's going to be Nigerian used yes.
But please what are the pros and cons of both, which do you think I should go for.

Thank you.

you are on a slim budget and you want to buy a Lexus? Better to find a Naija used 2010 or 2011 camry with the 2.5L 4cylinder 2arfe engine.

But if nah lexus, just focus on ES, GS is a high maintenance vehicle with expensive parts

Really tiring

I don't do much, I don't game or use heavy apps.

Mainly crypto, airdrops, And that requires keeping sometimes shuffling between over 30+ tabs open

But then in the long run I might still learn a tech skill(Video editing or Ai) so I don't worry myself on getting another PC by then.

Windows is mostly for gamers and productivity users like corporations who need server needs and other internet based services. If you are not any of those, Mac OS is good, though Linux would have been better but then the adoption is very low then customer service or technical assistance is limited.

Hello good evening chiefs.
I'm planing on carrying out engine repairs on my Honda accord 2006 4 cylinder K24 A.

The main problems are engine smoking and very poor gas mileage.

No driveability issues just that I'd like to restore the engine life (currently at 170k miles).


What I've found so far:
1. Greyish smoke on cold start that reduces after engine warms up, also happens when revving at idle. Exhaust pipe is greasy black - No CatCon, no 02 sensor either upstream or downstream.
2. Recurrent misfire in cylinders 3 and 4 despite swapping ignition coil and changing spark plugs (I usually replace both everytime the code returns). Spark plug 3 has moderate oily carbon buildup on the tip, while cylinder 4 spark plug mostly has dry carbon residue. No oil on any of the ignition coil
3. Excessive oil burn - sometimes **UP TO 2L PER 80 MILES**.
4. Coolant (water) level is not concerning.
5. PCV valve is venting the crankcase very well - negative pressure at oil cap
6. Compression test not yet done
7. Car idles smoothy at about 1100rpm - done idle relearn twice, no significant change.
8. Car moves reasonably well, accelerates, climbs hills, and changes gear smoothly. Only drops rpm with shuddering when AC is on while on Drive in traffic. Picks up when speed increases.
9. Very poor gas mileage - 12 - 17mpg

What I want to fix:
1. Fix engine smoking and service engine
2. Check fuses and relays and fix any broken one
3. Install upstream O2 sensor
4. Install ECT sensor 1

Please I need the contact of any good and reasonably priced ringmaster in Ondo for the engine work. The mechanic that I approached said he can ring it and the engine will work well but it will be vibrating .
That's not reassuring for me.
So, abeg link me up

Save UpTo 700 to 800k and go buy tokunbo engine for Oyingbo or Ladipo. Use 400 to 500 buy engine the remaining balance for workmanship and your hotel bills.

Honda CRV: 2008 - 2010
Ford Edge: 2009 - 2010
Hyundai Sante Fe: 2009 -2010
Hyundai Tucson: 2010

Appreciate the support guys

Pick Honda CR-V which is top in it's class.

Tucson should be option B

Santa Fe is bigger, comes in 3.3L V6 WITH THIRD ROW options not good on gas compared to the first two.

Ford edge isn't bad but needs more attention and the internal water pump is a nightmare

How long should I change manual gear transmission fluid? And is it true that you don't change gear oil, you only top it?

Manual gear on like automatic is very rugged, check your owner manual for the change interval. Some suggest between 50k to 100k -km to change the fluid. If you have never changed yours b4 and the funds, fluid and technical know how is available, change it just to give it a fresh breathe of life say another 5yrs

1. Sack farming, cost effective and utilizes the land area, you can plant yam in the sacks and get high yield

2. vegetable farming but needs and attendant to water it and look after daily. They grow with minimal spacing needed, they are short term, 1 month to three months and they are profitable.

3. green house farming, profitable but expensive to set up.

Please is it true that kia rio even 2018 model and hyundai elantra and sonata always have engine issues? Someone said if you buy them you will be changing engine almost every year, pls need your opinion

The 4 cylinder GDi engines from 2011 to 2015 were very problematic due to build quality. 2016 upwards got a bit better but anything GDi if you can avoid it, better for you

Good riddance to bad rubbish zobo.and kunu to take over since Bulaba has slowed down the economy and reduce their purchasing power.

You are selling a HP Omen core i7, 7th generation with gtx1050 for 950k, my brother review your pricing it is too steep

codemaster2much:
is the reliability up to the level of toyota ?

It is a reliable vehicle if well cared for. Nah fueling it be issue if it is an everyday run around vehicle

codemaster2much:
can you still advise someone to buy this car or the advise was a mistake back then,thanks boss

If I get free money today, I will buy the FX a d use it paint the town red

Donald3d:
Thank you for the recommendation. I already tried all . The sensor is very hard to find, except I buy the aftermarket model. I have two that failed within a very short time.

You shouldn't have issue with this particular model because I use a very rare Honda model and I was still able to find my oxygen sensor though tried as I may, I didn't get the A\F sensor. I got my sensor from "FONIALTO" the guy stays at lekki and delivers only. Though the last time I buzzed him he said he wanted to stop importing for Honda because of price and patronage as most Honda sensors stays longer in his hands.

Leonyluiz:
Does this have any side effects?

I've read on here about anything not actual catalyst causing a blockage and eventually damaging the engine.

Spacer does not in anyway clog the flow of exhaust it is just like a threading for the bolting of Oxygen sensor. The spacer moves the O2 sensor away from the exhaust gas pathway just enough to fool the ECU that the catalyst is still very okay. Just Google O2 spacer you will learn something, infact you can even have a panel\welder do one for you not a must to buy the expensive OEM units for outdated cars.

Thefarmer3:
Please how can I get O2 spacers for my Honda pilot 2007, it gives p0420 and p0430 codes simultaneously.

You can buy already made with small catalyst converter embedded
Enter mkt and confirm price

Leonyluiz:
Appreciate this sir. Will inquire on how to get that done. Are you in Lagos?

No

Leonyluiz:
Thanks for your response.

The P0420 is showing because there is no catalyst.
It has the k24 engine.

The fuel economy on the dash suddenly drops from 19mpg average to 6.5mpg and black smoke starts.

you will need to by O2 spacer, your issues stems from the catalyst inefficiency code, either you buy a replacement catalyst or get an O2 spacer to fool the ECU.

Leonyluiz:
Good day my people. I recently purchased a clean nig used 2008 acura tsx. Spent a lot of money putting it together and making sure all is well but it is barely a month and the fuel consumption is scarily high and whenever i go long journey, the engine stalls a bit and the rpm drops to like 400 and eventually black smoke starts. Keep in mind i changed everything that was diagnosed from scanning all o2 sensors and other components except buy a catalyst. What could be wrong. Please help. Appreciate

Start by scanning the vehicle again then work with the codes given. Especially P0420 catalyst inefficiency.

But scan and drop the codes here then we can guide you also have you done a tune up?

Plug change
Recommended tire size
Good fuel
Etc

What engine is in your TSX?

Donald3d:
Does anyone have Upstream oxygen sensor for Accord 2006 , 4 Cylinder(7th Gen) ?

OEM part number is 36531-RAA-A01 or 36531-RAA-A02

after market part number 234-9040

nah wetin you go carry enter market to buy be this, because there are so many k20 and k24 sensor for several cars that they can give you which will never work with your vehicle because honda sensors are specific.

Very good job, nice looking bridge, may it come to fruition

Mineisgrace:
I have a small Ox standing fan I bought in 2022. So recently, we got a solar installation.
It was blowing so fast and nice. Few weeks after using it with solar it stopped working.

We asked a maintaince man to help us check it out, he said we are going to buy a Capacitor. I paid and after fixing it the capacito, the fan still didn't work.
He now said we are going to have to change the coil.

So I want to ask people who have changed a coil before, if it's worth it. Hope if they rewire or change the coil, it will work well and not get spoilt quickly?

the OX fan is a fake fan, i bought two of them probably in 2023 or 2024, both had issues and i had to recoil it locally first cost me 5k, second cost me 6k. they are both in storage now i dey find person to offload am to.
No 1 just started smoking one day and refused to work, No 2 doesnt even blow like fan sef, also the plastic blade is crap, gets broken easily. i bought one used old Binatone standing fan from the repairer for 5k, fixed my 8yrs old electric fan. But currently heat never dey like that, but i get ceiling fan join. I bought those crap because the house i was given then had no fan.
