The average american car is 8 years old. How many Nigerians can keep a car 8 years without changing engine?

I think weather and traffic conditions here contribute to that.

U didn't read my post well be dat .. I stated that hybrid cars are not good for naija environment due to the fact that when it comes to petrol cars naija lacks proper maintainance culture .. And hybrids will not tolerant abuse and parts can be costly

Na waoo the guy insist it must be the car

dru23:



That is what coz the confusion .. I don't know who got it confuse me or the deeded guy ..my own is that if ur car dey short oil .. U are on ur own and we can agree using manufacture grade will not work ......

But to me it seems that the deeded guy was saying 20w50 was ok regardless if the car has issues or not ...

But even if your car dey short isn't better to find out by it is shorting oil

Since morning, at last you understand. Make I go drink kunnu as you don stress pezin

Na waoo the guy insist it must be the car

It is finding capable mechanics to attend to issue when arises When I started buying cars for uber , i saw few prius that the price was very ok and cheap ...when I look am say to find reliable mechanic na problem ....

The normal cars self to to find straight forward mechanics was problem for me na hybrid mechanics go built house on top my head ... I abandoned the idea fast fast

That's my approach brother, I am out there to hustle in best way, nicest way, smartest way and Fiercest way possible, you get what you give me, it's my car and my service, you don't measure I don't render it at all.

You want to do transfer, you must be ready to show me your debit alert, my mind no trust your appearance you must be ready to use ATM to withdraw, you no get ATM, he means you go wait make I see alert ( I trust GTB on that).

Make I wait for u abi? Card trip I will wait but sir/ma if you don't come out in 10mins time, I will have to end trip, you agree I wait, you no agree, I end trip and move to the next. For cash trip, sir/ma I am sorry due to previous encounter on the job, i can only wait if you will drop your phone, I am sorry, or better still let's end the trip and hopeful, when you request when you are ready, I might still be in vicinity.

You pack all your load waiting for the innocent car that will help you carry it for 500. And bolt go give me your request. Oga driver thats the load, thank God you are driving a Jeep...Me: , oga mi your load money na 1000 + plus anything wey the trip fare end, ..........but that's not how bolt operate na....am sorry sir, you can cancel and request for the next victim.

On Ratings: from the very first trip I have never asked/begged for rider to rate me 5 or anything..by itself he go down and rise up again. . In the one last week It went from 4.52 to 4.78

What's the schedule like?

You actually never tried to solve the problem of consuming oil.

You just reached out for a cheaper and good option

600 years of Solomon's wisdom for you

Dats d gist, wisdom and what he did was and is still working for him.

IFSHR:


For him to have initiated the transfer and it showed success and you confirmed all the detailed information to be correct and probably it was later reversed, I can beat my chest that such person will pay your money.

Storyyyyy!!! U never jam.
Money has a spirit and some people are influenced by it, that's when they will feel they have gotten away, u can't do anything so no need to send it or that money will have another use in their hands or they will vex that u asked for ur money with a harsh tone, some want you to do ur worst before they send it.

deedee44:

Maybe a little mathematics will convince him.

I top up with 1 ltr of oil aprox. every 1000 miles.

Difference btw mobil 1 synthetic 1 ltr and sharlu 20w50 1 ltr is around 3k so i save 3000 on each top up.

Engine has covered over 100, 000 miles, that means I've topped up around 100 times.
3000 x 100 times
That's 300,000 saved (and still counting)

Now oga dru23 if I have been putting that money in a safe, I can go and buy another engine now, and the old one is still working perfectly. Do you understand now?

What they teach you in school is always different from what experience will teach you in real life

Is it possible u may have not even needed this top up in the first place if the recommended oil was used from day one?

I agree with this your config, its situational and it serves the current condition of your car but let's not give others the impression that its unwise or there is no need to use the recommended oil in a car.

I know that if the car was abused by the previous user, there's no need to start using recommended oil, just continue with the mineral oil. Also if for some reason, the car starts to short oil in between service times, its advised you use a thicker oil so as to reduce the shortage...be that as it may, that engine is serving its last days.

Therefore, for the sake of others reading this thread the best practice is to use the recommended oils for your engine, gear etc, follow service protocols and other maintainance requirements for your car to work optimally and last longest.

May God bless our hustle.

Boss! A lot more factors contributes, terrible roads, Nigeria Kazeems, fake engine/spare parts, lower quality imported fuel, "car" major or only means of transportation(daily basis). In abroad, they have other means of transportation. Most of them hardly use their cars even with their good roads. Oil is not the only reason Nigerians can't use a car for 8years. In fact, if we don't have all these vamparious issue listed above, we will use 1w10 engine oil type for cars for 15years

Slickleo:


E be like u don watch dat arewa video dat dy are calling for jagaban arrest way make u no understand

1 love all

What is already understood needs no explanation.. It is common knowledge that once your oil starts to short due to neglect of some sort .. Using factory recommended choice might not be of use

My topic from the start was for car owners to follow factory advice at all times .. My topic was not about oil shorting etc .. How he was able to insert his own comment that was totally deviating from my own point of view was what throw the whole thing into cluster of confusion ......

In the past car owners will asking questions about oil etc . I tell them if u have not been following the car manual, my oil is not for u .. For u to be asking about oil grade of ur car , when u can actually look at the oil cap of ur engine . shows me that u have no clue on what u doing or want ......

dru23:


There is no profit in it for me .. If I do help u buy it, am basically doing u a favor . Budget 1.6m for clean title and low mileage one....

How do I reach you please?

Please I don't get it o, are you saying top up every 1000mil or change every 1000mil? Does your engine short oil or how do u top up and the oil won't be over-guage? Can you please set more light on this. Thanks

Engine was burning oil, the first time I serviced it I used 5w30 synthetic, but before the week ran out it was already at the low guage of the dipstick so I had to keep topping. Next service I switched to 20w50 and it happened to be one of the best decisions i've taken in my life
I was expecting engine to pack up in approx 6 months later but to the glory of God I'm still travelling upandan with that engine.
If my engine doesn't dry oil I would surely use 5w30 synthetic but for this situation? I pass

Now I understand

IFSHR:


That's because the bolt algorithm works with FIFO sometimes and Drivers history of trip when pairing a rider with a driver (All things being equal)

FIFO.....First in First out ...

eyinola:
on bolt , u will be with someone in d car and the request will picked a driver who is 5mins away

I totally disagree with you guys on this.

Bolt algorithms on request is meant to pick the closet driver the rider making a request for a ride. If all condition remains constant the request has no business sidelining the driver beside the driver and then picking a driver that's 5min away. 5min away on the Bolt App can be up to 3-5km on the driver's end on a free road oooh because most time 1m on the rider's app means below 1km on the driver's end(on GMAP) unless there's traffic it can say 5min because the Bolt App doesn't tell the rider how distance the driver is to them apart from the time.

It could be that the driver was having either a network issue at the time a merger was taking place btw the rider closest to you at that time or probably you where trying to go online while the request was being made. (I believe thats what you meant by FIFO)

This is only possible in the uber app and even with some ideal condition but in an ideal condition(e.g activity score and rating on previous rider btw the two party) the uber app will pick the closest driver to the rider.

What they teach you in school is always different from what experience will teach you in real life

You're using mobile1 synthetic doesn't mean you won't top oil b4 your next change oooh lets not miss thing up or mislead people... Mind you I used the same heavily oil for 7 months on the Civic, reason why I still have the Mobil 1 synthetic under my possession. There was a time that it was even blackbishop that poured the 1ltr to gauge it properly and also I remember a time I also poured 1ltr right in his presence at his residence (the first day we met after many months of partnership). One reason or the other engine is bound to short oil and you must either top or change it totally.

Also, you're using mobil1 synthetic doesn't mean your engine won't die or smoke oooh... I know somebody wey sell her Hyundia out, the engine was already smoking and shortening oil. This person uses mobil1 synthetic... Blackbishop can testify to this as well.

Abeg make I no shake the table too much b4 them come for my head.

People are free to go about with their opinions and business but one thing a civilized and educated person should understand is, don't force your opinion on people.

In Nigeria, Live in the classroom is totally different from life in the labour market or industry.

I come in peace ooh.

Ladipo engine seller are rubbing their hands ;. They are ordering for more tokunbo engine ...... me taking advice this ur write is like asking a blind man for direction .. Sure he could direct me , but I hope I don't fall into a ditch.....

Aristotle said, "man know thyself and thy environment". You will never fall into a ditch or miss it if a blind man (of say 60yrs) gives you directions around his house or his environment unless you never paid attention to his descriptions.
