Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Ajaytobey24: 8:33pm On Jul 23, 2021
Am having issues with my Honda civic 2006.
The car will start normal bt after moving for like 25 minutes, the car won't move well again and the 'D' light will be blinking and it will jst be moving slowly even if throttled down so I will have to wait for like 30 minutes before it can work normally again

And also consuming fuel in the process..
Over to oga gazzuz
Thanks

You are right, I saw the oil when it was drained yesterday, it was dark and dirty, and even sticky.

Please, what should be the better, but economical oil to use next servicing? And for this present Oando i am using what mile should I replace it?

Thanks

Drain at 2k miles, highest.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Grupo(m): 9:00am On Jul 24, 2021
Whenever I start my car in the morning, it starts normally but I'd perceive the smell of raw fuel from the exhaust,which goes away shortly.

If I now park the car for like some hours during the day and want to start it again. It would crank a lot longer before starting. If it starts it would be as if it's choking for a few seconds before it finally picks up.

At that point when it feels like it's choking, there would be black smoke from the exhaust and smell of unburnt fuel from the exhaust as well.

But once it picks up after a few seconds, everything runs well, no more black smoke or smell of unburnt fuel.

What could be the possible issue.

I can't scan for now as I'm in a remote area.

Car is 2007 Toyota corolla.

drain your oil every 1000 miles in the next 3 oil changes . (To clean up the damage caused )


After that stick to 2000 miles if you intend using mineral engine oil

With a moniker like molybdenum, you should know a lot about engine oil.

Molybdenum is an engine oil additive, because it's so good at reducing friction, Molybdenum has become a common additive to oil. When you hear someone use the term "Moly oil", they're actually talking about a lubricant that has had Moly added to it. Over the years, Moly oil has become one of the premium types of oil on the market.

Have you ever heard of the brand Liqui Moly engine oil ?

That odometer is calibrated in miles.
Divide 3,000 km by 1.6 to get the value for subsequent oil changes in miles.

P.S. My oga has spoken.
Change at 1k miles for next 3 oil changes and do not exceed 2k miles subsequently.
