That bad? Do you mean conventional 5-30? If so, what can I expect?

I sometimes think full-syn is too thin for the v6. I get good mileage, runs clean and all, but I am careful with checking my cooling and condenser fan relays because of an unpleasant overheating experience. I plan to try 1litre of this Mobil2000 semi-syn 5-30 on my gen first (gen has been sharing USA Mobil1 5-30 since)

I quote Yoda : "do or do not, there is no try".

Conventional or synthetic. There is no blend. Cost is really not an issue because yes conventional is cheaper but changes are more frequent so it's your call.

As promised above the time is now right for me to give my proper assessment.
Amdman got me a 2006 Camry, we went through several choice until he saw a great vehicle for a good deal. Please note that the car you select originally might not be the one you buy if after inspection he sees any issues.

.....

Thank you Amdman for delivering on your promise. I have gone for test drive and I am satisfied

Thanks for posting this. I was concerned the whole adexfem thing had affected him.

Misfire, coil or fuel

Apologies once again. We would address this at our next sisterhood meeting.

I have not experienced this with women but my nostrils get assaulted every day by men. I endorse termination of woman status for this offense!

@sooperrescue
I've come again to present another oil I saw. I've been quietly using my Mobil1 USA full syn 5-30 until I saw a new semi-syn non-USA 5-30. Mobil 2000, they call it.
I asked for the price and temptation reared up. (I can now afford rice this border closure season, if I buy this now for my next oil change)
Question: what are the downsides to a 15yr old Honda v6 too used to burning full-syn, if I go semi-syn. Both 5-30.

might as well downgrade to conventional

Goodafternoon house pls help a brother am in a big problem I use Mazda 6 04 4plug the gearbox started giving me issues I have to repair it after that my car life never remind the same that the gearbox over heat and burn all wire in the car,so I have to other for a tokunbo gearbox the mechanic want to the market and brought himself we fix it the Car did drive or R i was shock I have to send back the other one and bring another one still the same it driver a little bit not up to a minute and it didn’t drive or R again,what we I do now should I give the gear repair man to fix it which is 10k and 8k to another mechanic that we remove and fix the gearbox again or should I order for another 1 I have wasted money all dis days pls help me

Have an issue with my tranny - Passat B6 2008 FSI. Tranny shifts out of park, doesn't engage and gets stuck at neutral. But if shift cable is drawn at engine side, transmission engages and drives fine. What should I do?

Radu, If you go through my comments again as a rebuttal to the person i quoted, i only stated the the ability and possibility to use water in coolant systems without suffering the debilitating effects of engine overheating. And i also tried to clarify the nonsense that premixed Coolant has to be used because an engine is running at a temperature of 1500 deg.C ( This temperature is within the combustion chamber and remember the water flows round the external sides of the combustion cylinder like a cooling jacket and has no direct contact with the combustion chamber, and because the cooling system is pressurized, the boiling point of water is greatly reduced{think of the operating principles of a pressure cooker}, of course with the help of applying thermodynamic principles such as coolant flow-rate, forced convection etc.). Water can serve as a coolant but should only be used in a short term e.g when checking for/ repairing leaks.

The invaluable benefits of using premixed coolants( as per manufacturer's spec ) cannot be overemphasized.

Missed this part. We are on the same page

So after much checks and counter checks with my undergraduate kazeem and the SSCE holder kazeem.. We wia able to identify some hidden secrets.
Bad evaporator, bad transmission, weak compressor, weak suspensions, converted from right hand drive to left hand.
I just had to back off... Thanks guys for your advice.
Still on the search...

and THAT my friend is how you buy a car. Chop knuckle!

No Sir/Ma
The stripped bolts issue was a manufacturing defect that affected some early production 1AZ and 2AZ engines. It has nothing to do with the kind of coolant used

Secondly , water can be used in a vehicle cooling system , but it has to be distilled water and the climate must not be temperate. This is because the cooling system is pressurized. So the engine operating temperature and water correlation does not hold water (pun intended) . there are a lot of design considerations and parameters involved ( coolant flow rate , thermal conductivity of engine block/ cylinder head, rate of heat dissipation due to forced convection etc). Tap water is hard water and can cause calcium deposits inncoolant passage ways and even cause long term damage to water pump bearings.

The coolant we use( recommended by the vehicle manufacturer BTW) is simply chemicals and compounds added to distilled water that helps in improving the specific heat capacity and permit a much wider range of operating temperatures ( winter starting to prevent the coolant from freezing and expanding in the engine block that can cause catastrophic damage, for example. ) it also helps in protecting the engine material from corrosion.

I'm not talking about the bolts. All I'm saying to you is that plain water cannot dissipate heat as efficiently as coolant can. I disagree with your statement above. Plain and simple water cannot do the job. I don't care what climate you are in, it can't.

We can go back and forth about this all day or if you're in Lagos you can simply bring the car to the shop and we'll tell you the problem after seeing it since your current mechanic can't.

1. Whats water doing in your radiator?

Temperatures in your engine can reach 1500 degrees centigrade. What temperature does water boil at?

How can you then efficiently use a substance that boils at 100 degrees centigrade to cool and engine that runs at very high temperatures.

Using water was the root cause which then led to the stripped bolts. When you repair your engine, stick to the recommended coolant

I said exactly this to the young ladies the Society Of Women Engineers brought for a field day today. It was a simple concept for them to grasp

link still don't work.. system maintenance still ?

Weird... I clicked on it again just now and it worked... Maybe your firewall or antivirus doesn't like it for some reason? I think timifakay opened it?

Please dives an 08 camry. How much is the pump and converter?

Which pump and what engine size?

My right leg is killing me, chai. The traffic on the Island today was crazy. Looks like I will be needing massage everyday.

I used 5000 naira fuel to make 11160Net on Bolt and 2300Net on OCar. Total of 13460. Car Used: 2004 Ho da Accord.

PS: How do you politely tell a rider to keep quiet, she's trying to hold a conversation and I don't have interest.?

Tell her that she's even more interesting than the passenger you got so distracted listening to that you barely missed a bus, served to avoid it and almost hit a pedestrian as you ran off the road. You swore you'd pay more attention next time but she is so interesting...

gummi21:
link error...send again

Link correct. System maintenance earlier today. Please try again.

timifakay:
Noted.
Do you have experience using it?

Yeah. It's our version of Sylvania Osram. It might even be Sylvania itself. I can't remember from this line code.

Gurus, pls can i still use a/c on rebuilt engine?

I should hope so if not what was the point of rebuilding it

Good evening

I opened the hood of my corolla 2010 car today and found out that the radiator coolant in the reservoir is empty. What brand of coolant should I use and do I just top up the coolant of do I need to totally flush and replace it.


cc: AutoMoTech Autologic carmartng GAZZUZZ
MotoGuru radautoworks

Flush and replace with zerex

..

I've been wondering why this moniker will not let my follows and shares rest then I realized somehow I was following it. Fixed that ish.

what replacement headlight bulbs are people using.... preferable[b] led[/b] bulbs is visible and clear at night... the bulbs are h4 also known as 9003 for Hyundai…is anyone selling them here..??
