Sorry for your ordeal.

Check if you have engine oil shortage!
There's something am suspecting!

No shortage bro. Although there was a time that oil was leaking from some parts of the engine causing shortages. But i got it fixed

I've not scan it.

Try and buy a scanner on Jumia. With less than 10k you should be able to get one that can scan basic car codes. Secondly it will help you have an idea of the problem before you take it to kazeem.

Hi guys. I use a 2008 Honda Accord which I got toks two months ago. I serviced it 3 weeks ago with Mobil 1 and engine oil life is already at 50 percent just under 3 weeks. I want to know if I can reset it back to 100 percent when it gets to 20 percent because Mobil 1 is expensive and I can't be servicing the car with Mobil 1 every two months.

Contrary to as perceived, - 2014 vehicle models do not have sensors to determine when your oil is bad. Of course the oil pressure sensor can sense low oil pressure, not even necessarily a reflection of the level of your oil.


The oil life algorithm is based on mileage, for most vehicles it is set at 5,000 miles/Km. That is why it is advised you use the recommended oil for your oil changes. If you use a low grade oil, and rely on the oil life to determine when to change your oil,
you can as well do a early sendforth for your engine.

If your oil service lights comes on, and you reset it without changing the oil, your car assumes you've done an oil change and starts the mileage covered count.

When you are dutiful enough to record your mileage at oil change, and do a reset yourself, and confirm it is done, then check the next mileage the oil change light comes on, then you will understand it.

Vehicles are not yet as smart to know degraded oils. Service lights are programmed on vehicles with mileages covered

Always scan a car before payment...so you don't end up buying a lemon

Haaa.. Selling it to start afresh again I bought it Nigerian Used. Hoping to use it for Uber. But the car has turned me into a debtor. Borrowing from friends and family to fix it.

Hi all, How can one diagnosed this codes

P0970: your transmission shift solenoid is bad. Image as shown below. This can cause poor shifting or delayed engagement.

P0171: System too lean. Cars use air and fuel to a certain ratio. If too much air enters more than fuel then it causes problems same with too much fuel than air. In this case too much air. Check for a crack or leak in your intake hose the one attached to the throttle body. Also use electronic cleaner to clean your maf or map sensor, clean or replace your air filter and clean your throttle body. If your hose is indeed broken please replace it and don't fix it unless the fixer is a pro

P0420: your catalytic converter is bar. Doesn't lose much of a problem just a slight decline in fuel economy. Fix or replace

P0128: something is wrong with your coolant thermostat. Let a rewire check it out

Good day all and happy New year. My 98 crv after driving for about 30mins, and I off the engine, the reservoir container boils, an I'll be hearing hissing sound. When everything cools down, water in the radiator will reduce, and the reservoir will be empty.
I did a small test this morning. I left the radiotor open and started the engine, after about 5-10 minutes I saw bubbles like foam. Pls what is the meaning?

I guess u have a coolant, so the foam is normal .
Address the overheating first by performing pressure leak test.

also check if water isn't entering your transmission, pull out your transmission dip stick and inspect that guage for signs of water bubbles or droplets on it

Oh yeah it's a DIY device. All you need is the Odb2 device and your android phone. Then you download torque lite app or infocar or any other vehicle diagnostic app from playstore. Insert the scan tool in your cars OBD2 port, turn on your Bluetooth and location service, open your app and that's all.
