meetdopi: Hi, could you kindly substantiate the belief that once the odometer stops functioning, the impact of this on the gear is unavoidable. I have a Sienna 2001 that has the odometer non-reading. How can one correct this anomaly. Thanks

Your wheel speed sensor should be checked. Yes, it has an impact on the transmission. There is check engine light now on your dashboard.
Scan your car and then you check the front left abs sensor/ speed sensor and replace it. It is very cheap to buy.

elbedso: This guy sure knows what he's doing *thumbs up*

I catch am. Thanks

This data crash has reduced our forum to a disaster zone. We go recover. Welcome back from Sandy Nairaland hurricane whiplash. I remember New Yorkers without light for days. No Generator and no kerosene lamp. They were even queuing to buy fuel. Our black market fuel hawkers wanted to come to their rescue but New York far. If to say na Europe, they would have crossed the desert just to deliver fuel on the streets. Brothers keepers. During that period, PHCN staff began agitating for their entitlements to be settled or they will go on strike. They thought the Americans will give them free entry to the US to resolve the power failure and begin load shedding. Manhattan, Monday and tuesday, light, wednesday, no light. Brooklyn, Wednesday and thursday, light, friday, no light. Queens and Harlem, 3 hours on Saturday and the remaining days, no light. But God pass them.

call me on 08098534267. Pureguard will work well with your vehicle. Where is your location?

Yes. The pureguard is very ideal for your explorer. Call 08098534267 on how we can send it to you

tjfasasi: Your response will be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.

5W30 engine oil is synthetic oil sold by Oando, Total and AP. Volvo transmissions works with our Pureguard global synthetic transmission fluid.

Happy New Year. Murano requires 5W40 synthetic oil. Oando, Total and AP synthetic oils are very suitable. For transmission, use NS2 cvt fluid and use Oando Dexron 111 for power steering fluid.

Change the plugs and engine oil first before you get any meaningful result.

Your Kia Sorento uses SP111. Our Pureguard works fine with your car

niyosen: Tank you for advice. Pls i hope i can use the Total Q9000 on Lexus RX300 1999 model.

Yes,you can.

VICTOFX: i am using sea horse20w/50
i just changd d plugs, bt na toks i buy o, which ones am i surpose to buy?
i dnt knw d year of d car,bt d chasis no. is sjnbcap10u0129849. u can get d details wit it.
i stay in ibadan

Your car is a 2000 model and you have to use this NGK plug no NGKPFR6G-11. Any other number will not work. Seahorse atf is destroying gear boxes and you re using the engine oil. Try and use Oando SM or Total Q7000 and make sure they flush the engine. Then let me know the result.

What grade of oil are you using? Let them use carburetor cleaner first before any action. The plugs also are important too. Hope you are not using tokunbo plugs or those N200 per plug. let me also know the year of the car and your location.

VICTOFX: Weldon bro, please my premera2.0 electric carburetor is consuming fuel, and killing my plugs, and the car is getting sluggish, local meckos are insisting i change to the manual carburetor, claiming the electric carburetor is not serviceable, but i am being skeptical about that, please whats your take on this, and what do you suggest i do?

Yes, TOTAL Q9000 is fully synthetic. You can use it on your Corolla

niyosen: Hi Boss. Tanks 4 d gud work pls keep it up. What is the engine oil and Atf to used on Toyota corolla 2003 and 2005 model.

The engine oil for both Corollas is 5W20. Use synthetic oil. It last longer and cheaper too because you will only service the cars twice in a year.
The Atf for both cars is Type T-1V. Pureguard works well with both cars

meetdopi: Could you prescribe the best engine oil for the honda Pilot and the extent of its availability.Regards

Honda Pilot requires you to use 5W30 synthetic oil. Oando syn, Total Q9000 and AP syn is ideal. Mobil 1 would have been on the list but it is 0W40 and because Honda requires 5W30, use the 3 brands listed above, though Oando syn is still not sold to the general public, but it is the best right now in the country.

meetdopi: About a year ago when my mechanic changed the gear oil on my '02 Toyota sienna, I have been having serious issues with it. The car drags and jerks when changing gears, now it has become worse. What can I do as I still love the vehicle? Would I need to change the gear as he suggested after a diagnostic review was conducted? Or I should just sell it off?

Again, which is the beat ATF for an Honda pilot'06, as I have learnt a big lesson from the Sienna. Thanks in advance.

2002 Sienna uses dexron 111, so I advise that you use Oando Dexron 111. It is available at every Oando outlet across Nigeria. Just tell your Mechanic to flush out the old fluid and add 5 litres. Tell him to wash the pan and the gear filter. Honda uses Atfz1 but Pureguard will work fine with the jeep

Merry Xmas to all Nairalanders from Rescue and Recovery Nigeria Limited.

Madame, does he have permit B or C? If he had a permit before marraige, how did he get it? Or was it permit F?

starlingbawa: I'd start by saying this thread's one of the best things to happen on nairaland and I say a big thumbs up to you guys for the wonderful and spirited work you re doing.

Now that said and done, I'd like to know which is the recommended ATF for LEXUS RX 300 (2002 MODEL). I ask this question because I'm seriously considering getting one soon and i'm also aware that this particular vehicle has a history of 'GEAR BOX WAHALA'.

Thanks in anticipation of your prompt response.

Thank you for your appreciation. Type T-1V is the recommended Atf for the Lexus. Our Pureguard is a multi vehicle global synthetic transmission which is suitable for your jeep. We can perform the flush when you are ready.

stevedre: Please what is the best atf for a MAZDA TRIBUTE 2001 MODEL and i later discovered the mechanic that serviced it since its a tokunbo jeep changed, damaged or stole the catalyst. i dont know much about cars so im confused over all this issues because its draining my fuel tank, i use more than a full tank for a week even when i don't drive much

Tribute works with Mercon transmission fluid. You can buy a used catalyst converter in the parts market. Try Motocraft atf. Buy from Ford Briscoe or use Oando Dexron 111 which is also Mercon compliant

Can we wait till after xmas? I will be in Lagos on the 26th

sundyke107: Morning, I mean the car jerks when i move slowly but stables when parked. The car is in Lagos. I await your advise.

is there check engine light on the dashboard? Check your air filter also.

santakris: Hi, kindly educate me on the right ATF fluid for my mazda protege 97 model. Sent u a mail already though.

Use Oando Dexron 111

You did not elaborate very well. Where is the jeep?

Lagos, abuja, Benin, Warri

. Arcnigeria.com

Call me on 08098534267. We have 5 litres in Benin. Oando at km6, formerly called Agip.

Oando, AP and TOTAL sell synthetic oil. But Oando syn is not sold publicly but if you are in abuja, you can get it at the outlet by National hospital. if not try Total Q9000. From my analysis, Oando syn is d best at the moment.

Rotimi, pls call me again. i will be in Vi tomorrow morning so that we can meet.

Our Lagos workshop is @ oando service station opp guinness road by ashade market, agege. call 08098534267 for price

Dexron 11e on a Volkswagen? Please drain it fast and we can send you the pureguard. Even Dexron 111 is not suitable. The Mobil 1 is good but I hope the engine chamber has no sludge before using the oil?

Yes

Change the oil you use. The oil cover states that you use 5W20 or 5W30. Drain the oil and start using synthetic oil. I will suggest you use OANDO syn. You must have been using 20W50 oils. Follow the manufacturer's specification.

Thanks, taking it to the car wash daily is one of the reason for the good look. But my dashboard is cracked and someone claims that he can rebuild it. When I do that, I will let everyone know so that we avoid buying an expensive dashboard. Abuja hot sun can roast a chicken in 4 hours inside the Jeep.

That is the misconception about the suspension issues. Yes it is there but it can be fixed with little effort and little money. Mine have been on the road for 5 years now and I have only changed one air suspension for just N60,000. But I have changed the lower and upper arms on many occasions because I travel on many occasions with the Jeep. On many occasions, I spend N12000 for fuel from Lagos to Abuja and when you are on a long journey, to stop and refresh yourself is very difficult. I just dont want to end the thrill, wanting it to continue. We, my outfit, now fix suspensions on Range Rovers without stress. Most of the time, the jeep needs calibration of the suspensions and that is all that needs to be done but many people just assume that it is the air suspension that is faulty whereas the Jeep suspension height is inaccurate. There is nothing to fear about the suspension or about the repairs, the technology is affordable and it is everywhere. We tend to believe that it is only Coscharis that can fix the Jeep meanwhile the same Coscharis is finding it difficult to fix the problems on the Jeep. They dont repair anything but they change the parts only. There was an Auto Dealer in Lekki that changed the brake pads of someone's Sport for N120,000 whereas the same pads front and back with sensors is not more than N30,000. They changed the A/C system for N400,000 and the A/c lasted for two weeks. It took them 3 months to fix the A/c whereas a simple change of a used compressor for N30,000 will put the A/c in a new cooling condition. Height sensors never go bad inspite of the fragile state of the sensors. There is a Britparts dealer in Lagos that sells the original parts for a fraction of what Coscharis will sell the parts to you. The only problem with the Jeep is when the warning sign of engine performance reduced comes up, it means our regular unleaded fuel is taking a toll on the engine. But there are also solutions too until Dangote's refinery comes on board. Use Octane Boosters. If you have a supercharged, use octane booster at all times or you will be spending money left and right to solve an easy problem. We just fixed the active rolling pump on a supercharged in Abuja. It is the dynamic response of the Jeep and it cost a lot of money. The used engine of a supercharged cost N1.3m if you can get a good one but the engine is built to last. Following the routine maintenance matters a lot. For example, the oil requirement is 5W30 and people use Mobil 1 which is 0W40 and they still find sludge in their engines. Why? Because the oil requirement is not Mobil 1 when it is in Nigeria but Total Q9000, AP Syn and Oando Syn. They are all 5W40 and they are very good. Coscharis once complained to me during an interactive session that they use Mobil 1 on their BMWs because there is no Castrol oil here in Nigeria and they still find sludge in the 3 and 5 series. That was in 2005 and presently we dont know the current situation. The transmission fluid is portrayed as a lifetime fluid but I disagree when it comes to Nigeria. I have been changing the transmission fluid in my Sport for the past 3 years at every 15,000miles and the gear is still much in pristine form. Go get yours and enjoy the benefits the Jeep offers. Many owners dont use coolant or they use coolans not suitable for their Jeep and then the overheating comes to play. Welcome to the Club

Hello Folks,
This thread is open to only owners of Range Rover Sport where we can share experiences of maintenance, repairs and suspension issues that is making would be members to be scared of owning one of the best and rugged jeeps on the road.
It is also an avenue for me to answer questions concerning your Jeep and together we solve the little many problems you might currently be having with your Jeep.

Pureguard exceeds the T-IV. It works with WS which is the latest ATF from Toyota. Oando has synthetic oil that meets your car specifications.

You are welcome.
For the Honda Accord 2001, please use ATFZ1. Oando Dexron 111 works as a top up as it is stated in the manual. We can sell to you our Pureguard global synthetic.
