Join as much facebook,whatsapp/telegram ehailing groups.
Post your offline request on twitter search for some of the popular naija traffic sites on twitter
Build a cordial relationship with each rider you pick, send them weekly or monthly sms, with discount for their next offline trip.
A motivational quote/appreciation message sent to all your riders monthly.
Ensure your car is neat and tidy.
Since you would be doing offline often, ensure proper verification of your riders, we dont want to hear story that touches the heart!

If you can rise around 1.3m ,buy a tokunbo 04 to 05 civic ...since you are the owner, you will enjoy it and save money on fuel. Do regular oil change with full synethic.... Take care of it and it will serve you well...

Ps. My civic is driven by a lady on the uber platform ... she loves it and she tells me the car the swim for water during raining season...

20w-30 oil serviced at 3k miles is far more better than 5w-30 serviced at 12k miles(it's impossible 4 an oil filter 2 even last this long)

If I get you right chief, you mean you can go around 4,500 km before an oil change on 20w50 ? I think that's too much. I use same but changes it at every 3,500 km. Not miles. That's me though.

My brother better to follow car manufacturers oil grade o .. I never knew 20w-30 existed until I came to nairaland... please dont come up excuse that Nigeria weather is hot and that is why 20w-30 is accepted o . Because Texas, Arizona and especially Las Vegas are hotter than Nigeria o ...Cars and engine oil are formulated to meet the USA driving conditions ... Corolla built in South Africa or European are completely different from their counter parts in the USA.. So kindly follow manufacturer advice on oil cap ....

Now oil filter topic.... Cabs that or fleets that ply the USA road 24/7. What filters are they using? Most are capable of 3k miles month or less. Don't you think they will use better filters that will give them longer oil change and filter interval ? Filters really matter bro and some are ok and some are excellent.

Ps . Have been selling oil filters that give up to 15k oil interval for three years plus ... And none of my customers has ever complain to me. Now depending on driving conditions ,I wouldn't do pass 12k miles on Mobil 1 extended performance and 15k miles oil filter.... If drive mainly on high way road ,I might do the both 15k miles oil change and 15k miles oil filter. But since I have my cars on uber with heavy dust and traffic . And stop and go I will do only 12k miles on oil and filter...
5w-30 is designed for winter(weather below -1°c) , in winter time Texas go below -20°c(snow) which will freeze most engine oil, stress engine and cause poor emissions, while here in Lagos the lower hv seen is 20°c, even 50w-70 will flow freely at 20°c grin( the lower it gets the chiller it becomes nd when it gets to -0°c it starts to snow)
The 5w means at freezing point it will get to all engine parts in 5seconds, while the 20w will take 20seconds, but we dont hv such freezing weather here in Nigeria so they all flow fast anytime. So i think 5w should not be used on a taxi/Uber car cause the car is always on a motion and hardly sits for long
The only problem with 20w is that if not changed on time it will cause slug buildup, but for the 5w if it's to be used it Should be an original synthetic(mobile,Castro e.t.c),
Next is oil shortage, this is cause by either bad piston rings(delay in oil change or overheated) or worn out seals(which will eventually occur on all engine as they age), this doesn't necessary mean d engine is dead, as long as it's not smoking, oil stop leak can solve this problem (it swells all seals bck to normal shape).

Den oil filter issue, oil filters are not transparent so even the manufacturers cannot tell what's going on in there, those 10-15k oil filters are marketing strategies, they never last that long, most oil filters hv this inbuilt bypass technology built in them that once they gets clogged up, d oil bypasses and flow directly into d engine which might eventually cause premature wear to the metal bearings,
Even the almighty shining Fram filter was cut open and compared to other high quality filters on YouTube grin, Fram was so bad that its paper breaks when touched lol.
Do ur research be4 u argue bro, most of the cars made in Asia and south America do not hv this 5w written on them, some Don't even write anything on their oil covers, hv seen an Asian made BMW with 10w-30 written on its oil cap.

American foreign spec cars are built differently from European and Asian counterpart... cars that come into the USA market are built according to the USA terrain, whether hot or cold o .. U can't compare Toyota built in South African or European to USA spec. The USA spec will more than likely to have better option and built better. The same goes for Benz ,I would rather Buy Benz Germany than the USA.. Germany Benz are built in Germany, while the USA there are assembled.. Since the are assembled they are prone to a lot if recalls, due to the fact that the parts are imported from different parts of the country... Dana Motors Elantra are not as strong as the USA.brand.. Japanese built Corolla will have a better engine than the American ones..

Your oil augment: most cars in Nigerian are USA spec cars. Some states in the USA are much hotter than Nigeria. If you buy good quality oil whether nay cold start or hot weather start .. The additives in the oil will still protect the engine either way. No matter what bra people should always follow the owners manual when it comes to oil grade.. The manufacturer knows better than us and they are more liable to get sue for any major defects.. The 20w50 oil u mention I have never seen that type of oil in my life .. And I have been selling engine oil for three years. How u nigerians came up with the 20w50 surprises me.. Maybe its European grade oil ,but one thing for sure I have never seen 20w50 in the USA .....

Oil filters...... I mention early about how some filters are design for fleet company and cabs.. Some are tested to last 10k miles and some are tested for 15k miles. Mobil 1 oil filter are good for 15k miles oil change. Fram has their and Stp has their own .. It will say on the filter that they are good for 15k miles .. These filters are spefics and it will say on it .. You just don't buy any fram or Stp and automatically assume they are good for 15k miles without reading it first ..... Going by review online some fram filter and sTP filters don't perform like others .. So I stick to their high end fram and stp .... ........

Some things are wrong in that write up. For a 5W-30 oil, the "5W" talks about condition in winter, agreed, the W stands for winter anyways. The "30", however stands for viscosity at a very hot temperature, typically believed to be 100°C, typical engine operating temperature range of most vehicles.

What it means is that, if a manufacturer recommends 0W-30, and you are in Nigeria, you can use 0W-30, 5W-30, 10W-30. This is because you don't have winter conditions where you are. But it is highly recommended you stick to " 30" graded oil if you want a proper lubrication of your engine.

For oil filters, Fram has never been regarded as a premium filter, it doesn't mean there are no high mileage filters out there.

Oh, for those cars without something written on their oil caps, their owner's manual still indicate the right oil most times.
