I'm reading things sha!

Me that check oil gauge, water, etc before leaving home.....now it's ignorance (abi Na wetin dem call am)....abi not maintaining my car well that caused engine oil shortage and faulty compressor/condenser.
Engine oil shortage isn't human fault, it is a mechanical fault....Engine issue!

For the records, I chose where I go to.


Another said you spend money enjoying and now you come to type because you want to repair! Lolz!
Moreover, if you pay yourself salary, then the salary should take care of that!

If I pay myself salary and i save money from the business, and in a space of months, I had spent 300k on only repairs of faults not caused by me, then I think 'FOR ME', the hustle isn't sustainable.
It should be a means to an end not a full time, 'long lasting', 'die there' job. I am not disputing the fact that people are making money in the hustle. I am just telling you my own personal experience and my take on the hustle. I am also not discouraging anybody.

I have driven in Lagos for over 15 years without accident. I've driven to Enugu State and back to Lagos, not once. I never used my first car(in a white collar job) to do e-hailing and I never had major issues like this, till I sold it.

All those baba’s will sleep in their parks either playing cards or ludo. You will go there to meet them, they will bill you 12k mainland to island , if you like walk round the park they will all say 12k or you lucky to get one person that will agree to go for 11,500.
If they get to your house and see luggages they bill you extra for loads or turn back to their park, no stress. if they get to the road and traffic is too much, they will put of their engine, leave you in d car and go under shades and probably bill you more for traffic.

Top cylinder was dry, at first examination before we towed to d workshop.
Oil Indictator light didn't come up when ignition was turned to position 2.

At the workshop engine was opened and we discovered oil pump was broken and one piston was bent.
When vehicle was fixed, the oil indicator light still didn't come up when ignition was turned on.

From your description, Yes truly your oil pressure switch was shot but I’m wondering why you believe the oil pump just decided to pack up at that moment? Do you think the oil pump failing was connected to the faulty pressure switch? If the vehicle was not involved in an accident then it was daily driven until parked for sale/auction right?

It’s a fact that wrong/bad engine oil damages the cylinder walls, valve seals, piston rings and THE OIL PUMP of vehicles but I do admit that factory errors can occur but this usually happens on low mileage newer model vehicles especially before their warranty runs out. What year of matrix was this again?

I still say that it was a mistake not changing out the engine oil at the point of purchase/taking charge of that vehicle. Heaven knew how long it had sat in the crankcase before you fired it up and decided to drive it home.

Give an example of such please

You bought a toks, you barely know the condition of the car. Few months you start having issues with the car regardless of using the right maintenance kits. Biko how is that your fault?


I have seen a lot boss, not just one. This toks we buy does not necessarily mean the car is perfect from get go.

Forget about knowing the condition, the key part of your question was the bolded.

You bought a toks

Now this toks came at what mileage? Do you know that certain vehicles and engines have a specific range of mileage in which you can use them freely after which you must have to perform some manufacturer stipulated maintenance on either their drivetrain or suspension for those vehicles to keep on running hitch free?

If you buy a ‘toks’ of 95k miles on its odometer that was stipulated to have its timing belt changed at 100k miles and you decided to use it for 6 months without changing it to 115k miles and the factory timing belt breaks and damages your engine will you say it’s a factory defect? This is just one of numerous real life examples.

Now the second part of your question was

you barely know the condition of the car

My brother, how then do you know that the previous owner properly maintained that vehicle before you purchased it? If it was not maintained well isn’t it only natural that it breaks down in your possession? Especially if you didn’t know the specific components and systems to ‘refresh’ immediately after purchase since you had no history of its previous maintenance?

What you should have done;

Run a proper vin check before purchase

Read up on all stipulated vehicle manufacturer maintenance schedules and procedures and at what mileage they are to occur

Read up on reviews of common flaws concerning the said vehicle and if there were any factory recalls on that model you’re looking to purchase

These are the proper ways to source vehicle these days. The technology is here it’s how to use it that’s most peoples problems.

Why are you hell bent on making it seem as if not changing oil from purchase is the cause of that engine knocking? Thousands of people ship in cars and drive them home without issues.

Car parts have specific mileage to cover (lifetime) before giving way. Parts like water pump, oil pump etc all have a set lifetime. Even new vehicles sometimes have their parts going bunkers upon purchase.

What if it was the timing belt that snapped? Would you still hold this opinion?

Itsrm:


Interesting perspective

Let me seek your opinion on something. The vehicle was last serviced in the US on the 14th of December 2021 at 151k miles. The dealership put a sticker on it that says next service is at 155k miles or 14th of March 2022.

Vehicle came into the country in September at 152600 miles and is currently on 154k miles on the original oil that came with it.

What do you think? To change the oil immediately or run till the scheduled 155k miles.

It's whichever comes first. So 14/03/22 is long gone. You ought to have changed the oil.

See bro, I am not ‘hell bent’ on anything, ultimately it’s your vehicle and you can do whatever you want to/with it so far as the resultant effects are to be borne squarely by you (it’s owner), that being said . . .

How can you say that because most Nigerians ship in vehicles and then proceed to start driving it from the port to wherever is a normal idea because thousands have been doing it without any issues? Don’t you see that I’m trying to sensitize you that it is an improper practice that needs to stop? Don’t you see that If 90% of people get away with it you could be the unlucky 10% one very good day? It is a bad practice period , wether you believe or not is not my business, I’m just stating a truth which can become bitter in an unfortunate person’s mouth someday.

Oil pumps, water pumps etc all have their specific lifetime guaranteed use (if properly maintained) which can be seen via a vin check before purchasing the said vehicle. If you buy a vehicle of 250k miles with the factory oil and water pump of course I’d be getting ready to change those components out asap before cruising unless I am looking to play ‘chicken’ with the vehicle thinking your resolve will be greater than the components affinity to finally give up the ghost.

If your timing belt snapped there are certain things that could cause it like oil or water getting in contact with the said belt while it’s in use or it’s being degraded due to not changed when due. Factory timing belts are sturdy and should last the stipulated life guaranteed of it. The only time I’d suspect the timing belt is if it was previously changed but with a non oem part. That will be like playing Russian roulette with your engine.

See I’m not fighting anyone here concerning these things were debating on, I’m just telling you what the oyibo’s do to keep their 15 - 20 year old vehicles still going strong enough to be sold and shipped to us here in Nigeria where we then use them for a few months and they begin to eat dust

Oil pump is mechanical and not something that will just pack up. Most run with a chain and it's job is to pump oil. So major damage to it comes from dirty oil or clogged up oil in your sump

Blackbishop:

That chain is the exact thing which the bad oil targets which finally destroys the oil pump along with the other things you listed.

Update!! The rrs guy handling my case asked if I wanted to go to court or settle out..I said settle so he took me to a prosector(adekunle somebody .I think he is 2nd in command at oshodi) they said I should pay 400k or they will auction it,me I said I don't have such they later said I should pay 200k...I haven't paid sha

The oil pump was physically broken when engine was opened so it's definitely the culprit.
Oil pump is an Independent component with its own Internal pressure but rotated by the crackshaft so it can damage on its own without reference to engine condition or care.
The designers of the car put the oil indicator for u to know when oil, (an essential item) is no longer flowing properly in the engine.
The oil pressure indicator switch is also Independent, it can spoil at anytime irrespective of quality of care and maintainance habit of the engine.
It was just coincidental or unfortunate that they both spoilt at or within the same time frame.
Okay let me give u another example...
D car I currently drive has had oil pump failing twice this year.
First time was on first Sunday of January on my way back from church in Ota, thank God I was in traffic and I noticed the oil light come up immediately it did, I swerved out of the road and parked in a filing station and putoff the engine immediately.
If I had driven 1km more or left the engine on for upto 5 more minutes I would have kissed my engine good bye.

Second time was in a mechanic workshop, very recently. I went to change linkage, mechanic said I should re-park. just as I start the car, I heard a click sound from the engine and the engine oil light illuminated. like joke like joke, mechanic had to open the engine and discovered the pump I bought about 8months prior is what just broke.

On these two occasions, if I was on high speed or in a dangerous place like thirdmainland bridge, where I can't stop immediately. I would still continue driving and engine will be damaged beyond repair.

Just so u know, I use original 5w30 synthetic oil since I bought the car toks in 2019.

Remember we are still talking about engine failure not necessarily being the fault of d driver or car owner. In my case, it was failure of critical parts associated with the engine that led to d engine packing up.

Conner44:

There is no chain inside a Corolla or matrix oil pump...at least I have seen not less than 10 of them.
If the spring gets weak, it will fail,
if the hinges/bearing of the pump wabbles, it will break cos the crackshaft powering it is far more powerful, once the leg breaks the broken parts can break the body of the pump. From there engine is starved of oil and knocks if not put off immediately.

The only thing u will say is checking expiry date or service life of these parts and changing them as at when due. But mehnnnn there are a thousand parts in a car, doing that is suicide. We just wait for them to spoil or fail before we change. Or at Best buy a brand new car and sell it off at between 100,000 to 150,000miles.
