Car Talk › Re: Can I Change From 20w50 To 5w20 by sooperrescue(m): 9:14am On Aug 03, 2019

TRYGO:
There won't be issues, if you switched back to the synthetic. Where I'd be concerned is the state of the engine internals presently. If your car is a high mileage one, which translates to gradual engine wear and tear already, I bet you, using that oil, might cause seal leaks(oil shortages). But if you insists using the synthetic, buy a high mileage synthetic oil. I think Mobil1 has them.
You should have given him a clue on which Mobil 1 that is 5w20. Except for the US Mobil 1, there's no oil sold openly that has 5w20. Look for good ones.

What I was expecting from this post was that it uses this oil and it works with that fuel. If they are not available, then it is not for Nigeria. The car recommends Total Activa and it is also Turbo powered which the Op has cleverly omitted. This post is not for the Nigerian market. There's no fuel and engine oil for the car. It is time we settle for Nigerian spec.

Nothing like that exist. Mobil xhp is 20w50 while Mobil 1 green label is 5w30. You can switch easily but beware of the state of the car and the model of the car

How much does driver's license cost officially?

6,350 for 3 years and 10500 for 5 years. If you choose to patronize touts, your negotiation will determine the price. The first time I got the license, I went through the process and got the temporary license and after 3 months, I got the original. Renewal without capturing is quicker now.

I'm interested in the answer to the above

Hmmm. The price listed on the board was taken from the office of the Gm of mvaa. Go through the process. The 33k includes insurance and Roadworthiness Certificate. It is a process that you can do. I got my driver's license by myself and it gave me much assurance on the road. There are two cars attached to a number and it is common in Lagos. Maybe we should get together, those who want to get number plates and we will all follow the procedures together. It is the price that we have to pay to end the fraud in the system. The one that makes me angry the most is the cmr. The cmr is charged at 1000 per vehicle and they will give you a photocopy of the receipt with 9 other vehicles. They collect 10k and issue 1k receipt. On the cmr certificate, it's stated that the cost is 100 naira but on the mvaa price list, it is 1k per vehicle. They also charge 500 naira for customs and 500 for police. I called the customs office and they told me to ask mvaa which account number was the money paid to. If we don't do something now, we will join those who will buy a car and start saving money for number plate.

Gshakiru:
Thank you for sharing this with the public. What I think is responsible for the hike is that the public/civil service is corrupted and would not want to deal directly with the end user without the intervention of a third party with whom they connive to extort the final users.

That's a wrong assumption. Since the process is outlined, it is easy to get it done in two hours. A lot of people will buy a car and start saving money to register the car. Very funny. This proxy registration has made mockery of the process. I saw the insurance policy of a Toyota hiace and the bus was recorded as SUV in the policy. A Ford windstar bus was given mot certificate for 6 months because bus was written on it meanwhile it was a private vehicle. A range rover with black color had brown as the colour on the insurance policy. A 2006 range rover sport was recorded as 2013 model . These are issues that proxy registration has been causing the system and the data collected will be inaccurate and then the chances of vehicle recovery will be very low because the system is muddled up.

I have been wondering how much it would cost for me to have a number plate. I want to guide myself and other people on the way forward. What is the actual cost? The number plate cost 12500, vehicle registration is 5000, vehicle license is 3500 for example, road worthy certificate is 3000, and insurance is 5000. Little taxes added to 2650. Total costs is less than 32k and yet we allow touts to charge more than 45k for the number plate. What is the solution to the problem which is preventing motorists from getting genuine number plate?

Sometimes,big problems start with just little unusual sounds.
When this happens,we usually IGNORE!!!!,thinking it is minor. WRONG!!!.
The best way to go is to have it checked up IMMEDIATELY.
It is also always advisable to roll down while driving in other to listen to your engine.
Gazing at your dashboard every 60 seconds at least is not a bad idea. Issues like overheating,charging problem,transmission problem and oil leakage- problems that can stop and damage your car can be avoided.
Always contact a competent technician to fix your car.
My 2cents.
Thanks.

How do we know where to go? Someone asked me this question and I wondered that with a lot of knowledge driven mechanics, people are still allowing any mechanic to work on their cars. How?

Someone called me yesterday and asked if we are still trending after 6 years promoting the brand and I was shocked that it is almost 6 years ago when we first started the thread and we are still here. To all those guys who have contributed to the thread, thanks for the contributions. We have upgraded our skills to the next generation of range rovers and our research is continuous and we know that to excel in what we do, we need to keep learning and we are very mindful of that.

What is the different between the green and the brown Mobi 1 oil?

One is 0w40 and the other is 5w30. Both are suitable for diesel and petrol engines. If your car recommends the oil, use it but Toyota forbid it and I believe many automakers forbids it too. This oil is not in the same category with the mobil from the US. This type is made in Egypt and we don't share any similar interests with Egyptian auto industry hence the oil is good for Renault and Peugeot and other cars but I know that no powerful European car has recommended this particular mobil 1 sold locally for their cars ditto the Americans or the Asians. Practically these oils are suitable for nothing.

Vernacular diatribe on a range rover thread? Be careful o. The guy was asking questions as both are 2.0 lol. I have seen BMW 320 that is 6 cylinders and a Mazda 323 that is 6 cylinders too. They were all 2.0 but the power of the engines will make a Toyota look like a welfare case. Fuel should not be an issue if you drive in Lagos. Even a 1.3 car in traffic will still feel the effect as the owner has programmed his mind to lower fuel consumption. Sadly for the 010 above range rovers, they are still battling with low octane fuel and this time it is very low. We are now in the era of euro 6 fuel emission cars and our fuel is still euro 4. Big problem but easily resolved by using the recommended oil 5w20 and 0w20 till 2018 models. Make sure it is castrol edge extended performance. Do not settle for less. And boost your fuel. No need to wait for Dangote because he is not concerned about us and our cars.

Will never forget overheating in my life. That was the first problem I had with my Range Rover which I bought in 2014.

After fixing overheating, engine problem started, changed engine, after that gear problem started. That was what killed the car after one year. Spent a lot of money. Never enjoyed the car.
Sold it after 1 year or so.

Back to Land Rover product but not RR this time.

Still dream of returning to RR.

Welcome back to the brand. This time, it will be great. You will never walk alone.
We are introducing auto repair insurance that will take away the stress of fixing your car. If your car repair costs is above 500k, we will structure the payment to three months instalment and you go with the car. Although we tried it to a customer and took the car since 2016 with 500k to pay. Till date, he has not paid one kobo. I know his house in vgc but we have left him to his conscience. Details of the car repairs insurance and extended warranty will soon be unveiled. Repairs will be guaranteed.

My brother I like anything that saves me money.. The reason why I like Mobil 1 oil , especially Extended Performance oil. I don't have to worry about changing oil up and down. With good oil filter that is good for 15k miles interval. I do my oil change every 12k miles .. Keep in mind my cars are constantly running on uber.. Constant stop and go ,braking etc .. These cars on uber are constantly running up and down .. So you need good quality oil to keep your engine running smooth.. Mobil 1 extended performace does the job well.. And it saves me trip from the mechanic.. Am trying to avoid been the mechanic best friend.. It can be an expensive relationship

Mobil I esp 5w30 and the extended performance sibling are not the same. The esp does not have the same vehicle specs as it is for gasoline and diesel engines while the extended has the sticker of gasoline engine only. You will also notice that the esp is good for Renault, Peugeot and BMW longlife 04 which has the same properties as Oando 5w30. If you have a Toyota, you have no business using esp as Toyota requires gasoline engine oil only with the Starburst sticker on every Toyota since 2000. Funny enough, these locally sold oils are not suitable for 90% of the modern cars in the country except for the cars that requires an engine that uses petrol and diesel. And when you say 5w30 is better than 5w20 in protecting the engine, maybe you are right but Toyota camry muscle does not recommend 5w30 for the engine. It is either you use 5w20 or 0w20. On a range rover, if the car states use 5w20 and you use 5w30 for the 2010 model, you will regret taking the risk as you will make my guys in ladipo to be smiling to the bank. The 0w16 is already being sold in the country and it is a German oil. The Germans even came to my workshop and we discussed about our problem with the oil sector. They have the best 5w20 and 0w20 in the country right now. They even have C1 good for diesel engines. If Toyota says use 5w30, please don't buy any 5w30 you see, make sure that the oil is gasoline engine only and not diesel and gasoline like we find locally. Make sure that it is energy conserving or resource conserving. Toyota does not recommend any brand of oils but it has stated the attributes of the oil. Glife oil is being used by a lot of people irrespective of the car. But it is suitable for compact cars. There is also Motul engine oil sold locally. It's 5w30 api sl is the best for Toyota as Api sl was the last oil recommended by Toyota till they moved to 5w20. Please let everyone make our naija used cars to endure and not those cars that are being rejected because of poor maintenance.

Christianity Etc › Re: Daddy Freeze To MFM: Praying For Your Enemies To Die Is Anti-christ Doctrine by sooperrescue(m): 9:55am On Jul 18, 2019

samtol4:
Another display of spiritual ignorance by freeze or fridge . Your enemy is not your neighbour or colleagues but spiritual forces.Your enemy is not your troublesome neighbour but spiritual entities . we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers .Do principalities spend money for you to lend them ? When you say enemy dies it means forces working against you should stop functioning ,it means the spirit should not operate in your life anymore . Spiritual understanding is different from social media view .Unfortunate for him the man he is trying to pinch does not have time for spiritual jamboree

What if your adversary is Jesus christ? The Bible says that christ is the head of the principalities and power. What if God is your enemy? The Bible asks, who can harm you if you are a follower of him that do good? The Bible says that if God is for us, who can be against us? When Solomon was serving God, he had no enemies. God gave him rest but when he sinned, God raised up adversaries for him. So in that church of die die, if God is their enemy, who is the prayer going to kill? Even the unclean spirit knows Jesus and obeys his voice. An evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and David will play the harp and the spirit will depart. David had the spirit also from God. If your pastor has the spirit from God, he will sing praise to God and the unclean spirit will depart. When an unclean spirit depart from a man, he will go out seeking from where to live and if he returns to his former abode and find it clean and swept, he will bring his friends and the last state of the man will be worse than the first. This is the description of those that wish death to their enemies. There shall never be any table prepared for them because they have killed their enemies. The blind man that Jesus healed, people were arguing over him and he ended the controversy by saying I am he, that was born blind but can now see. Receive sight, all ye that have eyes but cannot see.
