You drive a V4 or V6?
They can check your oxygen sensors if they still work well.


VR. What's oxygen sensors?

VR is not clear to me.

Oxygen sensors are a critical component of the fuel and emissions systems because they monitor the amount of oxygen in the exhaust and transmit that information to the engine computer, which adjusts the air-to-fuel ratio accordingly.

Well, sir, it’s really not a good thing changing transmission oil anyhow since there’s no issue at first whatsoever and I think there’s manufacturer’s spec concerning the mileage to run before transmission oil should be changed.
I don’t know how well you use your ride and all, but it shouldn’t be more than 4 times in a year.
ogwuche4u:


I change every 60days. And my metals sound nice because of that. I don't joke with oil cos that's the secret to a good sound engine.
Re: The Crazy Price Of Toyota Corolla by Hybrid600: 12:12pm On May 10, 2022
These sensors are always located in the exhaust gas flow of your vehicle. Most cars have one O2 sensor located close to the engine, typically in the exhaust manifold. Some cars have two O2 sensors or more, and the second Oxygen sensor is typically installed behind the catalytic converter. I do not know where yours might be located.

That display of "Eco" on the dashboard, is it connected with this O2 sensor?

If you can afford the Toyota, get it, it might cost a little more. But I assure you it is a better built car on the long run.
Forget that crap about peugeot being this and that, I have used from 404 pickup, 504, 505 salon and estate, 406, 206, Boxer truck and van.
Bros, hardly any model I have not used in my 33 years of driving, from Russian Lada to chrysler, Ford expedition to Ford iveco truck, Ford transit, to mecerdes, BMW 740 v8, Honda pilot, accord, Nissan pathfinder to sunny, Volvo, audi, Daewoo esperio, racer, hyundai nko, Chevrolet suburban etc.
Toyota nko, I run a fleet of school buses, infact we are phasing out all the other brand to keep only the Toyota coasters and hiace buses eg urvans (2013 models), Ford, peugeot we have gotten rid of.
For durability, reliability ( I did not say speed or luxury), Toyota is it. Last I used was a lexus 400 v8. Currently have a land cruiser v8.
Why do you think transporters use mainly siennas, hiace? Drive a peugeot or Nissan urban for 1 month where a hiace passes for 6 months, nobody will tell you the difference.
See, it just like you buy clippers for cutting your hair, one will work well for your sole use and not commercially, the other one is rugged commercial use.
My humble opinion though.
sir please what would u advice for someone to get bw a corolla n civic for uber or bolt use?

Both will work fine.
If you can afford the extra cost, get a corolla.
It will pay you on the short and long run.

Well, if the cost of a Nigerian used corolla is the cost of a fresh Honda civic, then it makes sense to get a fresh civic you can enjoy for atlest 2 years before having issues with it.
If you are getting a civic, hope you will be driving the car personally. As I said before Hondas are not rugged for commercial use. But if you handle it yourself carefully, it should serve you.
I personally own a Honda vehicle as I write.
Change your oil and filter every 3k miles and the engine should last you for ever.

Corrola is a glorified shitbox for broke people who want to save money and skip maintenance. They want a car they can abuse and still sell it to the next idiot. It doesn’t even save fuel like people think. My Lexus with V6 engine saves more fuel than my dads corrola, I even use AC all the time but he doesn’t.
Your dad corolla may b scrap but y u are comparing corolla with Lexus in terms of fuel efficiency

Honda will always give you signs that it's time to change your ball joints long before it fails.

Nigerians love to abuse cars so they tend to ignore all the various noises their cars make to indicate faults.
Does honda civic give this problem? Considering getting a civic '06 or camry '01 (droplight) for uber, both are same price but d civic is tempting, fell in luv with d interior n engine sound. Pls i need advice from anyone experienced with both cars, (corolla is out of it for me, price is unreasonable, coupled with d insecurity issue)

My service oil cost 7500 then I buy oil filter 1000 and pay 1500 to my mechanic. That's the service. And if I want to change the gearbox oil, I spend 3000 for it. All in all, I spend roughly 13k every 2month. That's just it. Is that too expensive?

Is Peugeot 307 good for Uber?
Do you have an idea of the price of tokunbo

I am telling you. The rate at which this car is been stolen daily is unrivalled by any other car . A situation whereby if you dont have a fence at home, your car isn't safe. You can't park by the road side for some minutes. Your mirror, door handles,rear light, pointers etc will be gone in flash.

If you park out side on the street till day break, the corolla will be naked by the morning. All its vital "organs" are harvested already.

You just can't have peace of mind using the car. There are far better, safer, reliable and cheaper alternatives.

Note: many young promising Uber drivers with brighter future ahead of them had been killed mercilessly leaving their young families behind because of these same Corolla. Wiser ones uses Civic and other brand types.


Please can you give me alternative that are cheap and reliable.

Thanks
