Anyone has idea of octane level of Nigerian fuels

adubam:


One Dru on this platform that sells oil advised me to maintain my 20W50 and not switch to 5W30. That's why I didn't go. Though I'll be servicing my car this weekend

Oh...well,
Good to know!

Please help with your knowledge. Acura 09 TLX requires Premium Fuel , does it make sense to buy such car in Nigeria bearing there’s no premium fuel in the country

Go ahead and buy!

What we use in Nigeria is 'Premium Motor Spirit'.
It's perfect for Acura 09 TLX.

He is confusing the PMS sold in Nigeria for the required premium fuel for the Acura.

PMS is the name of Petrol, however, it doesn’t guarantee that the PMS sold in Nigeria is of a good octane rating as required by the Acura for optimum performance.

It’s not “perfect” for the Acura. It’s just okay for it.

You can go ahead and buy the car. You won’t have troubles as long as you buy petrol from reputable gas stations like Total, Mobil, AY Shafa, Rain Oil or any other renowned gas stations.
My car requires premium unleaded fuel but I buy only from Total or Mobil and I have never had any issues or need to use Octane boosters.
Drakeskull and Heavenlybang also use cars that require premium unleaded fuels too and they haven’t had any problems either.
I think your worries should be more of body parts for your TLX

Correct. Just buy from good stations and you'll be fine.

Boss my Car AC finished I'm only trying to refill and I have no idea about it... I bought this high cost AC Gas for my Car and someone told me that I will have to buy and mix with oil compressor ..
That's exactly what I don't understand and they reason I need your wise advice
I'm a novice

Kingdemu:
Leave that AC alone. What are you refilling or mixing when everything is working perfectly?

jackslow:
Please, I wanted to buy an Honda Accord 2008 we agreed on 850k but according to the seller the AC compressor is faulty. I want know :

1)should I go ahead to buy the car
2)How much does it cost to repair the AC compressor
3) how much does it cost to buy a tokumbo AC compressor

4) what do I stand to loose if I did not repair the compressor?

Please I need your input

I pity those answering your question.It very obvious you are not buying anything.All you do is price,and it's all you will ever do. as I dey look you so .08 accord for 850?your ridiculous pricing will put you in trouble sooner or later.If only penny wise pound foolish is a moniker

I drive a 2008 Honda Accord and it recently developed an issue.When I engage the gear in reverse or drive it makes a 'kpoom' sound and the engine vibrates for a split second.When moving it takes a while for the car to pick up speed and climbing a hill is now difficult.Someone suggested I check the engine seating, which I did.The engine seating is intact.What could be the problem?

GAZZUZZ:


Obviously nothing wrong with ur gear.

Knock sensor, and Etcs are you major issues affecting your transmission (I'm not saying the rest are not important)

If in lagos, give me a call 08023251039

Good afternoon All…
I just recently replaced my 02 sensor on a 2008 civic 1.8L. And only this stubborn code keeps popping up P0498 there by making my CEL stay on.

And I don’t even know what to solve it once and for all

Honda is for starters.....Apart from Cross Tour, I dont see any Honda worth driving...

Have they used your brain?

P0498 is your evap cannister. Did you get any work done on the car recently? Like change your throttle body or something?

Kindly scan the car and post the codes here if any. What kind of transmission fluid do you use?

Yes I changed the 02 sensor

You need an expert mechanic to check it out. I know someone who can. Where is your location?

Mine is Lagos. The Evap system is split into two . One is located inside the engine bay and the other is near the fuel tank under the car. It can be triggered by a number of things from a faulty wire , burnt out fuse, disconnected hose , clogged cannister etc. Try clearing the check engine light. If it returns immediately it means a fuse somewhere is bad but if it doesn't return immediately but only return when you have driven for a while at higher speeds then it means something is wrong with the Evap system somewhere.

Thanks for your prompt responses. I tried clearing and it came back almost immediately once I turn of the Ignition and put it back on.

Can you help me identify this fuse? Or what to look out for.

I'd solve it.

My acura mdx 08 vibrates when I put it on drive and hold the break with the AC on. Though the vibration is not visible to the eyes but u feel it when u tough the steering . What could be the cause? I have changed plugs yet no solution. Engine shows no codes

Hello great minds, pls a Honda accord 2007 security system keeps coming ON by itself. After a reset, it still comes back and now the horn has cease but the light keeps flickering.
What could be the cause and likely solution pls.

Please how can i buy this scanner and how much?

Themi06:

Please how can i buy this scanner and how much?

It's what I sell actually. #5k. You can DM me via 08124145301 if interested. It's always good to have.

P.s because your transmission is involved , you need to scan your car with much bigger diagnostic tool than the one I'm selling. Those ones can scan transmission better. I'd also recommend that you stop driving the car for the time being. If you don't mind me asking, where is your location?

Just meet a good rewire to go through all the fuses in your car (engine bay fuse box and drivers left feet side fuse box). If he encounters a bad one let him replace it and not bridge it with a wire.

Check your engine mounts . A broken engine mount won't be able to dampen vibrations. If it's so much on the steering, it's most likely the rear mount but check them all first.
