In my opinion, the cost of a very complete engine for Honda Crosstour 2010 is within the 850k range. OEM oil filter is about N2,500 to N3,000. The labour is his labour. The bill seems very fair to me as far as prices of parts is concerned. Please free this company handling this repairs. 1 Like |

Even if you have water Ingress into the engine it doesn't necessarily mean the engine is completely gone. That diagnosis seems suspect. Possibly talk to Lejuen although a Landrover specialist his skill set and knowledge base are comprehensive enough to be transferred. But mostly I find his integrity to be a rare find. 3 Likes |

This bill is very very fair.95% fair. The engine of a cross tour is different from a corolla. That engine when recently priced cost 850k. The engineer has been fair enough not to put in logistics, gate pass fee and other miscellaneous. Kudos to the engineer. He knows what he is doing. We recently purchased a Lexus is350 2006 engine (2GR-FSE) for 1.8million. engine wasn't available in Nigeria 2 Likes |

Omotaday: Can cause a restriction to oil flow or even totally block oil passage which would quickly crash your engine due to oil starvation. Besides. Most Toyota branded filter sold out there are FAKE. No one would do R& ![]() 1 Like |

mykl01: Don't be deceived. You are using the right oil specified by Honda Motor Corporation for your engine. There are states in and outside USA that are hotter and harsher than Nigeria in weather. Eg Middle East, Australia et al. They use 5W20 as specified. Why did they use their car and sell it off to you in a good state? Honda motor corporation has tested their piece of engineering in different weather settings and then specified the best suitable oil for your car Don't be deceived. Synthetic fluids are formulated to take care of cold and hot temp regions appropriately. Also, the most important time of an engine running is few seconds immediately during crank and start ups. Free flowing synthetic oil flows to lubricate the small components at cold start up to minimize premature engine wear and tear and prolong your engine life while in optimal operating temperature, the same oil being lighter, provides lesser friction, quickly takes excessive heat away from engine components and also ensures higher fuel economy. Don't mind ignorant folks bro. 4 Likes 1 Share |

kolaaderin: You're damn wrong. Can you do a compression test o. Your engine? You'd be really surprised how low you are on compression. Besides, you putting this poison in a German car shows you deserve no car at all. German cars I know are very selective on oils. 1 Like |
