oladipuposadeeq: yes one thing I have noticed is that it works perfectly but maybe for old generation cars like golf 3,honda hala and camry orobo but its not advisable to use it in newer models but as per my mecho explained to me, he said the used engine oil becomes very light after been use I mean after the specified period of time its been used therefore making it a substitute for power steering oil besides have you seen where they just finished coupling back a dismantled engine and instead of putting in a clean oil na black oil they go first put to run the engine for a while before putting the clean one. I think its just to save cost but would need to know from them baba in the field to shed more light to this discussion  Thanks, good explanation. |

He knows the risk and like golf 3 guy said, it worked out well for him. Thank you sir |

aryzgreat: When I was using golf 3, na so one kazeem do me ooo. Used drained out engine oil for my steering pump and it worked till I sold it. But I won't try that in my current Toyota Lolz, na so.... I wasn't bothered about the car though cos na old car. If to say I be big boy with big car and e try am, I go spark for am o especially if I have given him money for the replacement. I'm still going to ask him later if it is only used engine oil that can be substituted for the ATF or new engine oil will suffice too  |

Burnt engine oil keh Hahaha.... I understand you baba, I just can't be bothered because the car is an old car and you know skilled workers like mechanics get very confident over the years of practice with successful experiments and conclusion  |

He has been my Dad's mechanic for long and he's a veteran in the job (I respect him though) but let me still call him a Kazeem  since hin no dey exotic and formally educated like Oga Gazzuz  Now, there is this Nissan Primera 2.0LX of the 90's series that I got from my Dad. The engine is good and kicking but I noticed that the steering is hard in turning when the car is stationary. I told a Kazeem earlier (not this one) about this. He said it is the power steering pump that is faulty. I looked away and continued driving it like that because I believe I will find a solution later. Also, I still see the power steering fluid in the container, so I believed him and thought the fluid is useless after all since it isn't pumping. I told our main Kazeem about this and he opened the power steering container while the ignition is on. He said the pump is functioning and that it is the oil that is very low and also that the steering rack is leaking. He beckoned me to look at it and I saw that the fluid was actually going inside the pipe that led to the steering rack as it should, signifying that the pump is working and that the fluid is low because the base of the container shouldn't have been seen from the top in the first place. Maybe I misjudged because I believed the first Kazeem. Anyways, I sent him to service the engine and also do the power steering to ease the steering turning. Now, this is the crux of the matter  : After servicing, he brought back the car, I checked it, saw that the steering turning was better and easier. He now brought out the used engine oil that was drained from the engine when servicing. He said that is what I will be using to top the oil in the power steering container. I said I didn't hear you well sir I opened the bonnet and checked the power steering container and I saw that he filled it to the brim with the used semi dark/dark engine oil that was drained from the engine I was agaped and filled with surprise at the same time (make I no say horror). He was just smiling and talking. He said instead of me wasting my money that that's what I should use, and that if the one there is low, I should top it with the container he gave me initially (that container is up to 5 litres  I was just looking at him with wonder and I asked that what if it is all these new generation cars of corolla, camry etc. He said it is the same thing, that he does it very well and it is good as substitute for power steering ATF fluid  Now, my question to nairaland car gurus and users is that : What can you say about this? Any similar experience? Sorry for the long epistle though. |

Politics › Re: How Do We Survive If Nigeria Breaks Up?'—sultan Of Sokoto Kicks Against IPOB, Yo by sharpwriter(m): 5:56pm On Sep 10, 2021 |
KC031: Resources,you no get!.. Terrorism high! Sickness high pass for your region but you want to intimidate everyone... nonsense!! They are only lazy especially mentally just like Southern leaders too. Dubai is more of a desert than Northern Nigeria yet Dubai dwellers created a paradise there for their own enjoyment. These analog leaders have no vision especially because they want to oppress and cannot learn from nations that are well ahead of them. They have agriculture : tomatoes, onions, chilli, habanero, millet, sorghum etc. Even, only planned cattle breeding can make dem a prosperous nation. If they can't use any of the above, make dem go use their ground nuts, after all one idiot said that the whole of Nigeria was built and sustained by ground nuts in the early days of independence. Imagine all the above resources and hundreds and thousands of products that could be created with them, yet them wan die on top oil. What have they been using the oil money for all these years if not embezzlement, oppression and terrorism. My prayer is that the country should break quickly make we see their woes! |

Amotolongbo: Straight people like Churchill and Kpokpogari could not build a lasting relationship with Tonto Dikeh.
Confused person like Bobrisky could not also have a lasting relationship with Tonto.
Tonto seems to be the problem here o Make dem sha take it easy on the babe make she no commit suicide. The problem with these celebrities is that they are chained and hooked with vanity noises. They can't keep quiet or enjoy quiet lifestyle. They must trend sha ni. That's why they live and behave anyhow and sometimes create pseudo scandals for themselves a times to their detriment just to stay in the news and spotlight and to be the talk of the town. |
