You can see that Google services were blocked in mainland China and moved to Hong Kong and their market share also declined after blocking Google in China.

Yes, but the issue is censorship.

Hello i am interested in this, what type of oil will be used. I have 3 toyota corolla 2006(2) and 2007(1). I am getting 2 more by the end of the month. Tnx

It's your choice Carquest conventional or synthetic in the right grade for the vehicle. For the Corollas, 5w20 or 5w30 dexos1.

Im sorry to agree on this one that Google works in China. Even using Virtual Private Network is a crime in China. I see no much difference in what China is doing and North Korea.

I was reading online today and found out that Baidu, the equivalent of Google and the largest search engine company in China has its research facilities in Beijing, San Francisco and Seattle and yet Google doesn't operate in China. What does the US gain from Baidu doing business in Us when their own tech company can't operate in China and also considering intellectual property theft which is one the reasons for the trade wars between US and China.

It's not the intellectual property theft. It's the censorship. As it is Weibo, Baidu etc have to acquiesce to government demand and censorship. That's why Google isn't as active. They are there though.

Yes, we'd have to bring it in. We didn't bring in those type of filters because they're not popular there so we didn't think they'd be popular here. I'll bring in 20 or so and see how they sell as a start.

What do you think about Purolator Boss, Bosch Premium or Mann Filter?

We have to bring it in for you. 6-10 days. We'll start keeping in stock all the time if it looks like there is interest.

Honestly, unless it's a performance car, they are wastes of money....

How do you mean pls?

Something is going on with your power steering pump not your wheel. Either it's bad or something connected to it is.

I apologize if years in this field does not qualify us to offer advice online. We usually insist on seeing cars to make a final diagnosis but by all means, let a non-mechanic take a crack at it. What do you have to lose?

Dont listen to all these online mechanics,
Change ur fan-belt, it causes the noise especially at turns, if the noise continues then take it to a mechanic to see if power-steering reservoir is leaking, if its not then it should be emptied to check if the mesh inside it is clogged with dirt, if it is dirty it can be washed with fuel to remove the dirt, some even remove the mesh totally but I advise against that, going to the power-steering pump should be the last resort, that is if all the afore-mentioned are done and the noise continues.

THANK ME LATER.

okay. Thank you o.

Please do you have M1C-154a oil filter?

N9,855 6-10 day delivery but not designed to go 15,000 miles. It's more for the synthetic oil changes that go 5-7,500 miles. Not worth the money IMO.

I service every month but I want to know how many kilometers I'll drive b4 servicing. I'm thinking of servicing every 5weeks as against 4weeks. I think d 4 weeks is too soon. Thanks

If you're using conventional oil, 3,000 miles (5,000km).

If you're using synthetic, 5,000 miles (8,000km).

If you're using extended (which I don't recommend for your Corolla since you'd still have to change filters between and might forget), 15,000 miles (24,000km).

I'm doing Business Administration now, I will be done in 6 months. After which my dream job is working for The Small Business Association or Minority Business Association. Either way, not for profit. Then once I get hired by someone, I will get my MBA at my employer's expense.

I love Marketing but decided to do Business Administration because there are so many more avenues and options, unless you know for sure you want to specialize in something like Accounting. That's my advice to you.

Do not bother getting an MBA if your undergrad is in business. To maximize a business degree, you need to pair it with another field (preferably STEM). I have an executive MBA but what makes it valuable is that my undergrads are in STEM (applied mathematics and quantitative methods) so I'm employable literally anywhere. If you do business/business, you are locked into the finance sector and those degree combinations are a dime a dozen.

Nurey is the compare guy. If you want a Ford, get one of their SUVs or even better a truck. If not I recommend looking at another brand. Ford has now discontinued making cars in the USA. That should tell you something. They are only making trucks and the mustang now.

My check engine light is not burnt. It comes up immediately I start the engine and goes off again. I can't argue with you but about 12mpg in town because the car is old? I believe only a v8 engine can give such a low mpg. Might be wrong though. I will give you a call bro

Quite possible. My 2014 Acura V6 gives me 11-12 mpg if I'm lucky (I have a lead foot and don't care since I drive short distances). Nothing wrong with the car, just Nigerian fuel and my driving habits. Same car gave me over 20 in the USA. Did you check your air filter and cabin air filter and do the scan he told you?
