@radautoworks Kindly give me a quote (delivery to Ibadan inclusive) for 6 spark plugs, oxygen sensor 1&2, and the 6 coils. Car is Lexus RX300.

thebigkendo:
So you have go & buy new motor & you no declare for boiz at that joint?.. I will not talk to you again, I have dis-guy you

thebigkendo:
But one oil/coolant seller Oga said we should not do that.. He said nairalanders should do research
His words below

EgunMogaji:
Greetings.

Yes, it’s legal. It needs to be discussed and hopefully changed.

USA is one of the few first world countries that still offer this.

I pay my share and have no qualms with the leftover being used for social services and international outreach.

Where I, and a lot of others draw the line is when the system is abused as it is now.

Have a nice evening.

CityNGR:
He's even getting very violent around anything that concerns radautoworks.... Maybe he's jealous of the personal properties of the baby!

Mancala:
Yes, ain't that something? I totally understand your point of view, but isn't this part of what makes America great? The fact that this country is bound by its own laws; obeys the law even when it's inconvenient and sometimes with negative consequences? How I wish Nigeria would uphold the same principles. In the grand scheme of things, this is part of the cost of upholding American ideals and its civilization.

The cost is insignificant compared to the resources available to this country. On the surface, it appears offensive to we the tax payers, but then, it is legal. Life in America as a whole is very unfair. Think of how medical insurance works. You and I and most insured Americans pay our premiums, and by the grace of God hardly use a fraction of what we pay in. However, an uninsured person can walk into the emergency room in a crisis and is guaranteed medical care. Most do not and will not pay a penny. In addition, 85% of medical costs in America is consumed by a relatively small percentage of seniors on hospital care. They consume multiple times what they put in. The point I'm trying to put across is that the system is designed such that corporations and the working class support the poor, unwilling, old and sick. What do we get in return? The absence of the unpleasantness of people dieing in the streets and safety from revolts with hungry hordes attacking and looting our properties

Lest we forget the most aggregious of examples, our ancestors who paid 400 years of hard labor in America. This has always been the American way, the basis of the American civilization! Monkey dey work, baboon day chop. When a monkey shakes the banana tree, some of the fruit falls to the ground and the baboon feeds too. If the baboon doesn't feed, there is a risk he might become a carnivore and start devouring monkeys. It's a win win situation!

My apologies for waxing philosophical this fine evening. My kindest regards to all who contribute to this interesting discussion.

HeavenlyBang:
Nice!

thebigkendo:
Dru cannot be OilsPartsCars QED

oluwaseunla:
And the thread derailing has started

thebigkendo:
No way ma, you are giving Dru way too much credit.. OilsPartsCars is far far smarter than dru23 .
Dru can't argue and maintain the same point, he will go up & down, right & left While going off topic.
I don't think Dru even knows how to take a screenshot
As for the topic on ground
I don't think Dextron III is right for a 2007 Camry
As ATF - No
Power steering fluid - Yes

mayor2013:
Dextron 111 cannot and would never be compatible with Toyota WS fluid. I think you are mixing up things here. Read up the 3rd link. Dextron 111 would work perfectly well on older camry 1999,2000, 2001 etc. Using dextron 3 on a 2008 camry you risk loosing that transmission. It's not a debate but just the pragmatic aspect of this field

obekediamondfuto:
so u and dru can settle over a plate of carribean beans.....

but seriously, I'd love to meet the person behind this auntyradu moniker...

I promised before but couldn't keep to it because I grossly underestimated Lagos stress...

I have settled now so Na ur workshop go be my second house

and yes.... I'll bring dru always

EgunMogaji:
So you and I are effectively raising these children from our taxes. We are raising our own children and those of tourist parents.

The parents pay zero towards education, social services, hospital, infrastructure, taxes. Absolutely zero. And they get food at school too.

obekediamondfuto:
Mama when are u coming back?

found it on the drive.....

dru23:
She is already bashing you already... well at least you can't say I didn't warn you ...

OilsPartsCars:
Did you take time to read through the sources you quoted?

Mercon LV or Dexron VI is what he will use, not Dexron III.

Don't be all defensive, take more time to read and listen.


Be good.

OilsPartsCars:
She is a woman, and her replies are understandable

Experts too make mistakes

Sadly, this mistake could fry someone's transmission. Seyi42k will think his Mechanic must have done something wrong, not knowing he bought a wrong fluid.

OilsPartsCars:
The Dexron III is not correct and the top 3's you quoted as refrence were wrong too. Does it meet JWS 3324 as it is recommended as alternative to the WS?

Seyi42k don't say you weren't warned, other AT's will forgive you, yours won't.

obekediamondfuto:
this is Nigeria and while many of us do not willingly procrastinate, some other do it based on mindset.....

"if e neva spoil, we no go fix am"

now back to base.... a good number of Nigerians tend to compromise when it comes to vehicles and that is pretty understandable.... yes... very very understandable....

1. economy.
2. priority (an AC fix is less severe than a brake fix and should be given less priority in cases of tight/limited resources)
3. frustration (it'll be difficult to convince someone who has changed AC compressor 3 times in 3 weeks.. to fix his AC)
4. we are Nigerians...... soon enough, y'all (not running repair shops oh and shouting maintenance maintenance) will understand!

to start with, someone will think.... I bought a tokumbo UK or US "used" vehicle for 1m to 5m and someone is telling me to use 500k to 2.5m to revive the ride with brand new oem parts now that I have already been managing the whole issues.... OMO na to sell the car add money buy another one for 1m to 5m again joooooor......

just giving u a preview of the average Nigerian mindset when it comes to cars...
well I'm above the average Nigerian

seyi42k:
Thanks for the prompt response. The car is 2.4 L 4−cylinder (2AZ−FE) engine. Therefore, I will need the 5w-20. However, my current need is the coolant and ATF. The mechanic informed me that the ATF is smelling and dark which I believe has become burnt. Therefore, I need

1. Zerex and MaxLife pre-mix Antifreeze 1 gallon N10,220 http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=ANT&partNumber=675130

2. Carquest ATF DEX VI 1 quart N5,015 http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CQO&partNumber=CQ426 (Can't I get a gallon for this since a Transmission flush might be required)

3. I also need the cost for a new front engine mount whose rubber had broken (FInd attached)

How much is the total and the cost to Abuja? How do I make payment? Can I get these orders before Friday?

Thanks and have a happy sunday.

OilsPartsCars:
To part sellers, all fluids are compatible, as long as sales are made .

The ATF specification for the 2007 Camry is Genuine Toyota WS , not Dex III or even Type TIV like i hinted earlier.


That transmission is very sensitive. The Dex III will fry that transmission gear. Do not mind what you see on autozone or OReilly. The book says WS, manufacturer recommends WS. Use WS. Do not use because it is used in the States or Ajegunle as a yardstic to fry your transmission. Mistakes can be made anywhere

This your undying love for me ..is given me second thoughts.. But I come think am ,you are married and you got kids or a kid ...I like people that don't give up easily...

Badb0y4lyf:
