What To Check When Buying Nigeria Used Car by DrAUTOCODE(op): 8:41am On Jan 18, 2021
What I discovered is that Average Nigeria cars have what is called sludge and the sludge is very deadly to the life of every car. But most Nigeria mechanic will be telling u it is nothing. Pls can my ogas enlighten us about this cancer in the life of every Nigeria car, eating up the flesh and leaving us the bone.

Also check engine light.

if the compression is good , multiple shorter engine oil change intervals can remove them, not engine flush products

The main reason for the sludge is because most car users do not carry out oil change as required and/or use non-recommended engine oils.

The check engine light may come on due to several factors which only a diagnostic scan will figure out.
