Everytime you buy fuel, add 2 bottles and after the third fill up, use a bottle continuously at every fill up . The car will balance up and be on the move again. The difference between a toyota and Lexus is the fuel.

They are already complying. It is high time they leave our roads. You allow cars to come in illegally and then you wait for these same cars that you allowed in and impound it. Nothing happens to the group that allowed it in. Let them go and secure our borders. Ibadan toll gate is not a border town neither is Benin toll gate too. I once boarded a cab from Seme to Mile 2 years ago, at one of the numerous check points two customs officers were struggling to be the one to search the vehicle and the way I looked at them made them to be cautious and they tried to know who I was and I ignored them and they let us go out of fear. Their conduct is shameful on the road

Zoharariel:
Actually, there are 2 sons of God we have been expecting. grin

1.) Yaheshua the son of Joseph the Carpenter who whom my great-grand-mother & my grand-father waited 2000years for - until they kpeme in Ijebu. grin

2.) Mohammadu Shuaibu Buhari - the descendant of Mohammadu Subhanah-Watahallah bin terrorist Al-72virgins - dan fulani from Daura who single-handedly transformed my people from a “4square-meal a-day spoilt-brats” into “bicycle & gas cylinder-thieving-longnecked camels-due-to-hunger” - and who also made the Amerikan dollar to swell like garri-ijebu from 175Naira to 575Naira within 3days of his ascension to power - thereby causing inflation, deflation, recession, economic menstruation, ovulation, abortion & destabilization - all at the same time grin

Now, my priend, which of these 2 is currently chilling in your house - so that my people can ascertain whether na petrol or diesel dem go carry come burn down your house? grin cheesy grin
I believe it is the 2nd son that is chilling in Nurey's house. Please consider his neighbours and don't go with such liquids, send just a warning letter for the 2nd son to show his pace.

Nurey, it is not an exclusive news, it is everywhere . Don't forget that I am a tow truck operator and I have information at my finger tips. Read more from the Guardian. The order was given to the customs by the Presidential committee on ease of business and the Customs have no choice than to comply. I saw a convoy of the Customs at Fou in ikeja and told one of them that we have driven them away from the road. They were aiding corruption on the road.

The Nigerian Customs Service has directed all illegal checkpoints to be dismantled. The Dcg in charge of enforcement Dan Galadinma gave this order to all units and commands. By this news, no customs checkpoints should be found on any road in Nigeria except within the radius of 40k to the borders. Motorists winning the battle since 1930

Tried this and got hooked. According to the label, Fully synthetic but made for all vehicles produced and used in the American market. The best oil in town as we speak. But Op, the Mrs 20w50 that you mentioned, what is it for and is it better than the cepsa which is an Api SN?

Your transport option, is it as a Private driver or taxi driver? Why Golf 3? You are serious minded but don't start your ventures on loans, get registered with Uber and prove your mettle. From that venture which is a no financial risk venture, you can now understand the business and buy a better car with your own money. Never borrow to start business like this, it is too risky. People who buy cars on hire purchase for commercial purposes will explain better.

The centers are already open but every motorist for bcmr and tinted should go to the police website for tinted permit and fill the form. You can get genuine insurance policy at the center for just 5000. That will eliminate the wrong information that usually accompany third party as per colour of the vehicle. Get your roadworthy certificate after you go through the computerised testing where everything related to the emissions, headlamp settings, tyres, brakes, suspension and bushings are checked within 10 mins.

I don't understand what the noise is all about. The government want you to take your car to the center for physical inspection where lives and property will be secured. The center will accommodate the Insurance platform where you can get genuine insurance at the press of the button. The center also allows you to obtain your tinted permit free of charge, no middleman. You will also get your BCMR Bio metrics Central Motor Registry card that gives you final protection against the loss of your vehicles. The BCMR is the Police response to stem the rising tide of stolen vehicles. All you need to do is to ensure that you get your correct engine number and Vin number and fill the form online together with your tinted permit application. You bring the vehicle to the center for biometrics capture and you will be issued with a smart card that covers the details of your vehicle i.e, vehicle license, Insurance, Roadworthy Cert and the BCMR all in a smartcard. We are too big to take our vehicles to these centers and imagine Gazzuzz going to Oyo to get the manual certificate for 1750. Na rain water he go take go there? The BCMR will eliminate all the paper documents that you carry now. Just the card and anywhere you are stopped for checks, present the card and the Police will through the card get all the information that is needed. Car Reg, your job is at stake right now.

Why are Obsolete Motor Oils Still on the Shelves?
The Petroleum Quality Institute of America (PQIA) recently visited a Dollar General not far from our office in central New Jersey. Understanding Dollar General operates 12,198 stores in 43 states as of July 31, 2015, it was interesting to see what motor oils they sell.


Whereas the store we visited offered a variety of brands, the Dollar General (DG) brand motor oil got our attention. And the reason it did is because the other motor oils on the shelves meet the current API SN Service Classification, the "DG" multi-viscosity motor oils do not. Instead, they meet an API "SF" Service Classification.

For those unfamiliar with API Service Classifications, "SF" is an obsolete API specification that defines the performance of motor oils formulated for use in cars built prior to 1988. Since that time, there have been six upgrades in motor oil standards.


In addition to the obsolete multigrades, PQIA took a look at the DG SAE 30 motor oil on the shelves. This product reaches back even further into the world of obsolete motor oils in that it meets only an API SA Service Classification. This is a specification for cars built prior to 1930, over 85 years ago.

While to Dollar General's credit, the back labels on the products include a cautionary statement about their limited use, one has to wonder why its private label motor oils only meet performance specifications that have been officially put out to pasture decades ago? Further, are consumers aware that these motor oils are obsolete when they see them sitting side-by-side with others formulated for use in cars currently on the road?


Where it is anyone's guess as to why Dollar General made the decision to stock its shelves with obsolete motor oil bearing the Dollar General (DG) brand name, consumers are advised to read the front and back labels when buying motor at any retail store. Look for the API Service Classification and viscosity grade to be sure the motor oil you buy is right for your car. And always read the labels carefully.

Total Oando Forte Conoil Mobil and Co, why are you still selling obsolete oils? SON is an accomplice. They are the agency encouraging these companies to sell junk to us. None of these companies sell any ILSAC 5 compliant oil. None

Lawsuit: Dollar General motor oil not safe for cars newer than 1980s
By Carol Christian, Chron.com / Houston Chronicle

Published 3:53 pm, Tuesday, December 22, 2015

Photo: Christian, Carol, U.S. District Court: Michael Deck V. Dollar General Corporation

Michael Deck of Houston filed a lawsuit Dec. 21, 2015, in U.S. District Court against Dollar General Corporation, alleging that the company's motor oils are obsolete and it engages in deceptive and misleading ...
A Houston man has filed a class-action lawsuit in federal court against Dollar General, claiming that the company sells a line of motor oils that are unsuitable for today's cars.
Michael Deck filed the suit Monday in U.S. District Court in Houston against the Tennessee-based corporation that does business in Texas as Dolgencorp of Texas.
Dollar General is a "discount retailer focused on low and fixed-income consumers in small markets," according to the complaint.
As of January, Dollar General operated about 12,200 stores in 43 states, including 1,246 stores in Texas, the complaint states.
In addition to selling name brand and generic merchandise, Dollar General sells its own line of products under the name DG.
Its DG Auto line consists of three types of motor oil: DG SAE 10W30, DG SAE 10W-40 and DG SAE-30. The complaint alleges that the motor oils are obsolete, fail to protect and can damage "modern-day" automobiles.
"Dollar General engages in the unfair, unlawful, deceptive and fraudulent practice of marketing, selling and causing to be manufactured, obsolete motor oil without adequately warning that its product is unsuitable for, and can harm, the vehicles driven by the overwhelming majority of Dollar General's customers (and the public at large)," Deck's complaint states.
While the front label of the 10W-30 and 10W-40 motor oil containers states that the product "Lubricates and protects your engine," the back label carries the "small print" statement, "not suitable for use in most gasoline powered automotive engines built after 1988."
The label on the back of the DG SAE container states that it is "not suitable for use in most gasoline powered automotive engines built after 1930," the complaint states.
Moreover, the suit states, Dollar General "further disguises the obsolete and harmful nature" of its motor oils by placing them on shelves next to various other motor oils, such as PEAK, Pennzoil and Castrol, that are suitable for modern vehicles.
The suit accuses the company of engaging in deceptive trade practices and seeks unspecified damages
Deck is represented by Houston attorney David W. Pace as well as Allan Kanner, Conlee Whiteley and Cynthia St. Amant of the Kanner & Whiteley law firm in New Orleans.
The company did not immediately respond Tuesday to a request for comment.


My comments. When are we going to sue our oil companies selling obsolete oils. This US company even put a warning sign on the bottle but our own companies will tell you that SAE 40 is an high performance engine oil.

I don't know why you take pride in a lion that is in the zoo. Syngard is the highest transmission fluid that other atf copied from Left to you, you would have recommended total fluide 11d. I once asked you to tell the oil suitable for the new peugeots and till now, you have not returned to tell us. It was recently I was told that Pan recommends Mobil 1 5w30 esp but meanwhile, peugeot is still recommending Total which is not available in Nigeria.

From next week, you can use the same tinted permit website for your bcmr. Fill the form and come to the inspection center where you obtain your roadworthy certificate, your bcmr card with the tinted permit portion shaded if your car is tinted, this card has all your vehicle's details, insurance, vehicle license all linked to the police central registry in abuja.

Car Talk › Re: Wanted Urgently. Engine Number Locator by sooperrescue(op): 1:47pm On Jul 02, 2017
Please Mayor2013, help with the scan tool. I will appreciate. The concept for the bcmr is a total surveillance of your vehicle. If a car is stolen and disassembled, there is no way that vehicle will be found. Even when you buy an engine and you get a police report, the information stays at the police station. If a stolen car engine is sold and it is recorded on the bcmr platform, the car will be good for nothing, I don't know how much a thief will make selling engine components and so the thought of stealing will be eliminated. The police with the engine number can detect a stolen vehicle even years later

From July 15, police bcmr in a smart card that also covers your tinted permit will be issued in Ojodu and Ikorodu centers. The police traffic department now handles the verification on the road.
