Do you know that sometimes all your car needs to function well is a good engine oil. There's this new brand from Russia called Lukoil Genesis, which is the "best engine oil in Nigeria" now. This oil gives you optimal engine performance and also 4% fuel efficiency and guess what, it is of the same standard with Mobile one but it is way cheaper than Mobile one, more reason why it is the best choice for you.

When next you want to change your engine oil, ask for Lukoil Genesis and if the mechanic does not have you can get it yourself. You can order on "Instagram at @lukoillubricantsnigeria", call their sale department on or go to their office at Ikoyi to buy. This is their Instagram handle @lukoillubricantsnigeria or call their sales department on 08059815968 - Gbenga, 07061545368 - Zainab, 08037120424 - Mohammed. Be smart when it comes to taking car of your car engine. If you have also tried Lukoil genesis kidnly drop your comment below.

Good day car gurus.
What do you guys think about mazda 3 2012.
I intend to get a Nigeria used one but thr owner said it the oil seal is bad hence leaking leaking oil. Also, the brake is faulty.

Is this something that's easy to fix?

Is the car reliable?

When people want to sell problematic cars, they try to hide/patch up all problems so they aren't seen during inspection, if an issue cannot be hidden, then be rest assured they're either very careless and shouldn't own a vehicle at all or the issue goes further than meets the eyes, they have tried to fix and failed, in any case, do not buy, tell them you're happy to check back when the 'oil seal' causing the leak is replaced.

This is an eye opener. Truth be told if those issues were easy for the owner to fix they'd have done them before selling the car.

Thanks for the advice.

Good morning my people,

Please I recently changed my Exhaust system and after sometime I noticed that my vehicle jerks while on motion, according to my mechanic he said that fuel mixes with water somewhere.

Now I hear a kind of sand at the back like woooooooooo while accelerating the vehicle. This sound can be frustrating. The mechanic said it is inner shaft bearing, which he has changed, yet the noise is still there. Please does anyone have an idea of what is wrong please?

Get a Mazda 3. It's a good car, but this exact unit you described, take a very competent mechanic along to inspect and inquire the prices of parts and fixing them before you part with cash.

My Toyota Corolla 2010 is having the same issue.

Mine started after I change the rings of the engine because I experienced shortage of engine oil steadily after every long distance trip. My life has never remained the same after it.

I have equally done all that you did yet it didn't yield any good result. I have make up my mind to save towards a new engine. I am managing the vehicle right now.
Is changing car engine worth it? If properly maintained how long will it last?

For P2401 and P2402, replace your EVAP charcoal cannister. It’s under the car by the Torsten beam.
As for P0420, your catalytic converter or exhaust manifold or O2 sensor needs to be checked.
For the delayed start, a lot of things may be causing it. You need to visit your mechanic or electrician to check and narrow down to the fault and then fix it.

If you’re in Abuja, feel free to contact me if it’s ok by you.
I’m having the same Evap Leak issue. How do I contact you?

My car is Volkswagen tiguan 2013 (4motion trim). Though the engine is 2.0 liters, I noticed that it consumes fuel more than a V8 engine. I am confused because I just bought the car with the mind of saving fuel. Please is this normal for tiguan?
