The fact is your car is shorten oil bro .. The tokunbo that you bought, was likely replace with half engine in Nigeria. By the way you sound and act ,you bought the car cheap .. But in your mind u think you bought a good deal, and on the other hand the seller wanted to get rid of a problematic car ... And am sure you didnt check the mileage of the car before you bought it.. Likely the mileage was roll back ...
This are the tricks car dealers use for Mr. I know it all like you.. The fact remains the 20w50 that you are using is very thick compare to the 5w30. The bottom line is that 20w50 is buying you time . Last last you go replace that engine.. Your mechanic will tell you that he will ring the engine for you. After few months that car will become a money pit .. Before you sell it ,you would have wasted money . And out of frustration you go sell the car .. The truth is bitter bro .... Laugh now ,cry later .. Have been doing this business for long .. Experince has always been a better teacher. I could laugh now , but what is the point. Enjoy

I absolutely concur. What the driver is putting into the deal is his (safe driving) skill and time. The time, especially, is very valuable this season.

I will manage 5k to drive someone from Lekki to Ikeja. Manage ooo ...

GidiWoodsMan:


buying a tokunbo engine is a risk you don't want to take unless you absolutely have to because there's no guarantee you're getting a good one...

Plz leave the guy ...He bought the car cheap, didnt do due diligence. That car will become money pit trust me . If you ask him if he did a car report on the car , he will say no .. He will tell you that he brought his mechanic to check the car before he bought it ... that car was likely fix in a such way that people will buy it and would not know the fault until weeks later

Gentlelife50:

You are ruining that engine ooo.

Sarca

Felicity001:

Who xperience help

Gentlelife50:

Lol, they want the engine to outlive them.
By the way some cars have engine but the owner couldn't enjoy it but the ones the engine pour out smoke like chimney of old locomotives still go and come back everyday.

Felicity001:
In other part of the news.

@izzuo
Like u said, proof of ownership of the vehicle, how about those drivers partners that don’t have the papers in their names?

peeps4u:

Don't mind my amebo

GentleChief:

there's a new mobil oil in town, it's called mobil 2000, its semi synthetic and it's also 5w30. Price is #5500 or thereabout.

oluwashola4me:


Hi, ma'am!
Please can I use 0w-40 in place of 5W-20/ 0W-20?
Thanks.

Gentlelife50:

Use Mobil or synthetic car engine go still go, all na time. The way they paint it it's as if the car will just spoil once u use mobil or if you use synthetic the car will stay forever.
Sometimes before the engine spoil car go don go finish

Every time oil oil oil, somebody wee not hia word.

lubehouse9ja:

if it's here in Nigeria you don't need anything 0W it's better you go for Sae 20(5w20) or Sae 30(5w30).. A 5w30 oil is an average for all weather here in 9ja..

If you are using bigger engine like Mercedes, VW, BMW, Fiat, mini Renault and GM dexos.. (you can use the 0w40 and your next service you will need get a 5w40)

This guy and his crew are always looking for gullible Nairalanders to sell their Magical Oil to! I have used xhp Mobil for 15 years on Honda Accord 03 and never did I ever had any problem with engine! Never!

Are you suggesting I should have kept topping up with 4k+ every week.. for 18 months (72 weeks) and still counting

deedee44:

Who is kanishka Chauhan? You don't even know if he was the dumbest student in his set

Felicity001:

20k??! Are u fucking kidding me?!
The rider has the car ooo he’s just to drive.

Or haven’t you heard of the new Dryva app in town? That pays driver 5k/day work?

The guy in question is yet to get a rental, so he’s not like u who already has one so you won’t understand what 5k plus other amount he’ll get from this job mean to him in the festive period.

Besides, you never can tell who could get him a car. They might have a discussion that might end in the rider either getting him a car or linking him to somebody. So don’t always see money has the only means of exchange to services sometimes sacrifice can change once life.

I don’t take this job to serious I only make sure I don’t offend anyone while doing it because no matter the case maybe this hustle can’t make one a billionaire it can only sustain one for the time being.
