what oil and oil grade was used.
Recommended engine oil is 5w30 full synthetic to cover maximum mileage of 5,000miles.

Get involved in your vehicle repairs.


Boss we all know the full synthetic is the recommended oil but its not cheap at all. I use the normal 4500 Mobil on all my cars. I have never had any engine issues and I hope and pray it remains that way. My Camry muscle is going to two years now.

Open your oil cover, check for sludge inside the oil cover. That sludge will eventually kill that engine. It is a gradual but sure process.

Besides, the synthetic lasts longer in the car and gives you better fuel economy.

Bro I am not saying partners should start giving out their cars for 35k. I was only replying to that partner that was getting worried about the sharp increase in number of cars being registered on the platform.

My point is that if push comes to shove, we will only have to reduce remittance from 40k to 35k and doing that doesn't mean we still won't break even and make profit.

In other words, more cars are welcomed. It won't affect the profitability of the business.

I would like to see how your Civic fare, might consider it when its time to buy another car.
.
Well the civic never start yet. We still screening drivers. If you have a good driver I don't mind o. The civic looks very promising in terms of ruggedness . And the parts full everywhere. I was advise to get a bigger tires for the car. And not to change the rims. It's very low on the ground compare to other cars. And finally I was advise to maximise profit, I should get civic new body shape from 2006 upwards . But 06 civic upwards engine room is very tight for mechanic to work around. So these will be my last civic on the platform. I only get these civic tokunbo cheap. To tell you the cost I bought it in the states will be a crime. Other than that there is nothing more about the civic apart that it's a 1.7liter engine. For me it's better to get cars from at least 07 . If your landing cost is low enough. Competition might be heating up soon . If more cars are coming in . Riders will eventually be picky. More cars more choices for riders to pick from. That is my observations for now.

To maximise profit.... Hell No ... days of manual driving in Nigeria is gone and buried. It's tough enough driving for long hours and you still have to shift gear up and down. Manual gear will wear out easily compare to Automatic . And drivers will use that as an excuse when negationing rental fee. Even if the driver loves manual gear . That is my two cent in it

All what you wrote here is a big fat lie, I drive a manual car and its very profitable, the only downside in driving a manual car is the stress that comes with driving in traffic, aside that it's a sweet sweet experience, stop misinforming people, manual gear does not wear out easily Mr Oga

Thanks for that advice. Well my question is taking another dimension. I use a very sound Toyota Avalon and it’s a V6 engine. What are my chances of making profit with it on uber if I’ll be driving it myself .

What do you think about this oil guys. This is what I’ve been using for my Camry muscle since 2016 when it landed from yankee.drove full time on Uber for a month in 2016 July. And just got fully back on Uber last December (weekends only).i always top the oil when the gauge is low and it never reaches 3000km/5000miles before I change the oil n filter.Note:when I started using the car I don’t have to top the oil before serving because it’s on normal gauge but for like a year now I have to top the oil b4 I service.Should I switch to other type/high type of oil?. Suggestions are appreciated

If your car has a visible oil leak, fix it.

But if the engine is burning oil, sorry, damage is already done. The best thing you can do in that instance is to switch to Cepsa brand. The oil short should reduce, but please, stay on the 20W-50 you are using, at least until you are ready for engine overhaul / replacement.

Well we can agree to disagree respectfully . Over all if you have 100 drivers . And you ask them manual or automatic. Am sure 80 of them will say automatic. Driving manual for commercial purposes no be easy thing o. To rest my case .
I have two Toyota camry same grade and quality color etc . One is automatic and the other is manual. Which one do you think will sell faster? If you can honestly look deep down your tribal mind and answer the question. You have solve the issue

If you can count the amount of manual cars vs automatic on the road. The one that has the most on the road should answer your question. Same with v6 engine and v4. Sometimes the answers we look for in life is right under our nose. We just have to smell it
