Then the fuel economy is reasonable.

Good morning Guys and thanks for all you are doing.


Please I bought a 4plug accord 2008 in June from a dealer, I want to change the engine oil now as it’s short, I didn’t get any recommendations from the dealer as he just bought and kept from the last user I guess

My mechanic is recommending hardex gold. But it’s too expensive oo, please which other one can I use or must it be hardex gold.

Also, is it advisable to change bad o2 sensor when cat converter is not present?

Pls my honda civic 2006 that I bought cos of subsidy removal gives a strong smell of fuel inside the car whenever I fill the tank. It is so strong that the smell even affects my cloth.
And I don't think I am enjoying the fuel capacity of the car. A full tank doesn't stay up to 2 weeks driving from airport to FMC Hospital every working day of the week. How do I also check the rate of fuel consumption in the car? Thanks

Was your fuel pump worked on?
If yes, check that it was fitted properly, check EVAP system and fuel lines.
The yardstick you use in measuring your fuel consumption is flawed.

Avoid that mechanic, get someone else who's competent. Your car need proper diagnosis then the right way to fix it.

Hi Gurus,

My sienna makes noise and a scan shows it's the cylinder 6 that's misfiring.

I need to know the current price range of ignition coil and original NGK spark plugs please.

If you do not trust him, change him.
The worst thing you can do to your safety and that of other road users is giving your car out to someone you do not trust to fix.

Do you have oversized tyres?
Check your splash cover underneath your tyre well if it's loose, torn and hanging low.

Kindly help me out. My car is a w202 c180. My alternator is charging my battery with no complaints, but my mystery is that the car goes off if you remove the battery terminal. Does that mean my alternator's output is low, or is my alternator is on its way out?

Use a multimeter to check the reading and make sure it has over 13volts with all accessories on.
It's the best way to know if your alternator is charging.

You mean, when you push its automatic transmission gear lever into P it still roll?

Check the dash, when you put the gear to Park, does the P symbol come on?

Use a multimeter to check the voltage reading, it should be 13.5-14.8v
