How many months will I use this oil before changing it or miles
dru23:
It's good for 20k miles... My advice is do 10k miles regardless of driving conditions...
When it isn’t a Mercedes that can gulp 8-10L of oil on a V6

5-6k miles and all will be good

Is everstart a regular lead acid battery or an enhanced flooded lead acid battery?.

Car TalkWhat’s Your Experience Using Car Batteries Like by selfmadeOLX(op): 4:47pm On Feb 07, 2022
I got this Everstart 75A battery for my car as recommended by majority at mid 2020, very sure it’s genuine as It’s been 1.5yrs since then

Just today I wanted to head out and the car wouldn’t ignite or even roll the fans, all lights on the dash were dim. Had to unlock the car manually as it didn’t respond to the key imobilizer. The battery was flat worn.

- Is 1&half year a good life span for a car battery?
- I did notice traces of dried up liquid on the top of the battery. A production flaw? As another nairalander has experienced this

I need where to get genuine Everstart or it’s equivalent. Your suggestions will be appreciated smiley

Car type 2006 honda accord v6
No error code

Problem encountered:

Despite changing my fuel pump recently, I experience difficult starting, I need to turn the ignition twice or thrice before it starts most times.
Get your kazeem (local mechanic) and do a test

Jack up the front end of the car and ask your mechanic to start the car, use a small plank to hit the starter repeatedly as he starts the car.
If the car starts immediately then the starter is going bad thus replace the starter

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread in one way or the other.

My Honda Accord DC 2007 vibrates especially while on drive and the brake is pressed.

If I change the gear to neutral, the vibration stops.

If I remove my leg from the break and the vehicle moves freely, there is no vibration. Everything becomes normal.

Someone should please help profer solutions to this...

Thanks.
Check all 3 engine seats also check upper and lower transmission mount.

I’ve sold my Honda Accord yesterday after just 2 months. I won’t wish my worse enemy to get an Honda. My experience was terrible. The car almost wrecked, what am I saying, the car WRECKED me. Spent all my savings fixing and fixing with no solution.

I will be picking up my Corolla today. Even if they dash you Honda, reject it. This was traumatic.
Cry cry grin

Bad Mechanics can make a good car frustrating

Bad maintained car + bad mechanic is a lethal combo

Bad mechanic + bad car + uninformed/naive owner is a one way ticket to hell

One of these 3 is your problem.

If you don't mind seeing 8mpg in lagos traffic and 18mpg on the highway while driving responsibly, go for it.

However I recently achieved 20.5mpg driving like a grandpa with revs kept below 2k rpm and speeds below 120km/hr.
Lmao

I am getting 14mpg on my 4cyl Accord 09 90% Lagos city driving. Very bad grin
And
I do rev close to 4k rpm on take offs and close to 6k rpm when I’m on race mode.

The car sha dey chop premium maintenance cheesy
Good to know the low mpg isn’t unusual

Engine is about 400k that is my guess o transmission I don't know .......

Buying tokunbo engine or transmission is really 50/50. Coz u don't know the authenticity of the engine. And most times they are Naija used sold as tokunbo. Unless u see them offloading from the container .....

That been said if you can get a good vearcruz with 100k miles or 160k depending on the year . Than you are good . just make sure you follow owner manual.
Thank You dru. I appreciate your time and response

Unfortunately I don't have all the pictures of the ones I sold.. Below pic are 3 different ones sold, not including the previous 1 posted earlier........

[s]My point is I wouldn't take ur advice either ........
[/s]
My advice ... When searching for a car .. Stay away from lemon ones.

All had over 100k miles. Clean title ... So maybe u were reading lemon reviews. Lolz
I really don’t understand how you process information. I am not giving out advice, I am the one in need of advice yet here you are forcing your numbers to my face on how much veracruz you’ve sold like you’ve got something to prove so bad

All that do not help make a purchase decision. Even the worst cars sells a few

You should rest!

I don't know where u get ur reviews from . Have shipped about 5 vearcruz so far . They are harder and harder to find.

The ones have sold are around 160k miles. No issues at all. They are good cars, if buying anyone plz make sure u buy Tokunbo . And follow owners manual at all times.......


Pics below.. Have sold 5 so far ..looking for more ....
Probably you should read more on the cars you sell

You neither fix them nor use them long term. I cannot take your word for it. No offense
Car TalkRe: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by selfmadeOLX(m): 3:32pm On Jan 03, 2022
nurey:
It shares platform with Hyundai Santa fe and am sure their parts would be interchangeable. It is related to Optima, grandeur and some other hyundai products.

It comes with a 3.8L V6 I believe only the Genesis I know carried that engine not too sure Optima had only 3.3 or 3.5 but the lambda engines are solid are okay. 260hp is good enough.

It's not popular around but the Santa fe is so parts to a degree shouldn't be a problem also any Hyundai mechanic should be able to fix it.
Thanks so much

And yes I haven’t seen a Veracruz on the road, yet
As much information as I have come to, The reviews on the engine was that every 60k miles or so, the valve head gasket do leak oil on the alternator and kills it which stalls the vehicle

So when the oil drip starts, the head gasket, alternator needs changing. Can this be done

Why do ppl avoid Hunda Accord...08-12 ? ..... Camry is literally everywhere Nigeria. Share your experience.
One, the Nigerian stereotype
Also, because it’s usually abused by people with bad maintenance culture and the car hardly forgives for that.
