They will ignore your social media marketing posts but keep asking you for money. They are never concerned about how they can affect you positively but only how they can get from you.

Car Talk / Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by Ricmayak1: 6:51pm On Nov 20, 2017
ebuks4ever:


Your engine is a 2.5L V6 engine. It requires 6.5Litres of 5w40 Engine Oil. We recommend Castrol Edge Fully Synthetic.

Your Gearbox requires any of these BMW oil: 7045E, 8072B, LA 2634, LT 71141;
If you can't get any of them, use the Castrol Dexron III fluid.

You mean dexron iii fluid in place of LT 71141?
Is it only Castrol Dexron iii that can serve as replacement among dexron 3s?

Car Talk / Re: Why Is This Oil Labelled Full Synthetic. by Ricmayak1: 5:21am On Aug 25, 2017
kingreign:


1MZ is sludge prone, 2AZ is oil burner, but what would you say about 2GR, 3MZ, K24 engine or J35 engines, VQ, M series (Daimler) and other engines (which don't have any of the factory defects) that burn oils when such nasties are poured into it even without harsh drivings?


Bros, there's a huge scam going on in the motor oil production.

You are very correct but these same oils that dried up in Toyotas do not drop even a bit in BMW e46 with much more mileage.

GAZZUZZ:


I poured it in the engine of a Nairalander, who is also a moderator in 1 section and when vehicle was due for oil change it was short by almost 3liters.

I think that he is a harsh driver. Except for the very late models where Toyota has redesigned their engine rings, many Toyotas driven harshly and especially at high speeds will exhibit high oil consumption. It's not the oil's issue, it's Toyota's. People don't notice it because they hardly drive at top speeds.

I have personally noticed this with camry hybrid 2007, Sienna 2003, sienna 2005 and then other user's testimonies.

Information on this flaw can be found online and it's especially for the 2az engines.

On a camry hybrid I used both mobil 1 and total quartz 9000, they were dying up only when driven aggressively.

To add to this, oils mostly not labeled synthetic or synthetic blend are mineral oils.

Use tires that have grooves that route water away from under the tire to avoid hydroplaning.
Car Talk / Re: What Makes A V6 Engine Different From Normal Car Engines by Ricmayak1: 9:54am On Apr 10, 2017
adanny01:


I dont think you know enough of engines.

If i give you a V6 or a supercharged I4, which will you pick.

The supercharged I4 will give the V6 power and the I4 fuel efficiency.

V6 isnt more durable than I4 generally. The durability difference comes from the load factor. A V6 might be operating at say averagely 50% of its power while I4 may be say 70%. This means the I4 will be working more than the V6. On the other hand, say you put a 2.6L V6 in a 5000kg car and put a 2.0L I4 in a 1500kg car, the V6 will have more load and would perform worst than the I4. The same can be said of the durability. Assume you use both at the same load factor and service at each one's recommended period. I think the V6 should give up first especially since it features more dead weight on its crankshaft.

It is also the same when you compare bike engines with cars. If you think a V6 is always better and faster, would a V6 car be ever faster to an I4 power bike?

Its not about the engine, its all about the load.

The load determines alot of things like acceleration, fuel efficiency, durability etc.

Same way a 2008 Toyota Hilux and 2008 Toyota Prado both have the same engine 2.7L I4 but the Hilux is more fuel efficient. This is for 2 major reasons, weight of each car and drive train. The Prado is a Full time 4x4 while Hilux a part time 4x4. The Prado has constantly more friction and dead weight to overcome which increases the load on the engine each time both cars start off from 0km/h.

One reason why automobile batteries fail is low charging system output where the battery is not being fully charged.
Car Talk / Re: Bad Or Failing Fuel Pump? These Maybe The Causes by Ricmayak1: 7:26am On Mar 10, 2017

3. Misfires and a decrease in power, acceleration, and fuel efficiency

Another symptom of a problem with the fuel pump is engine performance issues. As the fuel pump is what supplies the vehicle with the fuel required for combustion to occur, any issues with it can affect the engine’s fuel supply and cause issues. A faulty pump with low pressure will disturb the engine’s air-fuel ratio, which can cause all sorts of performance problems. Aside from hard starting, the vehicle may experience misfires, a loss in power and acceleration, a decrease in fuel efficiency, and even engine stalling.
[/s]

Bad fuel (PMO & AGO) not properly refined or not suitable for the vehicle triggers the same effect. One may think it's fuel pump. Look into this area too. FYI.
Why is this striked out? What is said is entirely true. Engine can be running lean or rich due to bad/incompatible fuel pump. This can cause misfires and noticeable performance issues.
I have seen this quite some number of times.
