On this RU-vid channel I film stuff about things that I'm into. In this case, it's cars. I just thought sharing how I do things through the videos that I put out, maybe that might inspire you to do things yourself too. I'm not a professional, I'm just a person who loves a DIY and trying my best to do it professionally. While doing what I do, I always try to make sure that I show how it's done every step of the way. By subscribing to the channel, I get to know that you appreciate it and thank you.

Hey man, I bought it from a local store that sells automotive tools here in South Africa. Well I do have experience with AliExpress and to be honest with you, I've always had the best buying experience and their delivery comes ahead of the ETA. I'm in South Africa BTW but their service has been good for me

Nice content as usual. Can I challenge you into doing a bit more research on a 5W40 vs 10W40. To my understanding, the 5W40 is better as these have the same viscosity when hot, when cold, the 5W40 is thinner which means it would be a better lubricant at lower temperatures than an oil with a higher viscosity. Keep up the good content.

@@lindokuhlemenzikhumalo9685 An oil’s viscosity is its resistance to flow. Oil that’s too thick won’t flow properly through your engine, in this case - 10W-40 won't flow the same as 5W-40 during the cold start. 5W-40 will flow very easily, which to me implies that there's not a huge layer of protection between the bearings, crank and other parts where oil goes to when it is cold. So with this thin layer, I believe it is not good for an older engine as they need more protection as they are now prone to wear. Oil that’s too thin won’t protect moving parts from wear and tear hence I'm going for 10W-40 rather than the 5W-40. Viscosity increases as the temperature drops and decreases as the temperature rises, which is why I chose the oil with viscosity that is 40 when the engine is hot (which allows good performance). I hope this gives you an idea of why I choose to use 10W-40 instead of the recommended 5W-40.

You can't mix different viscosity oils together. It's better to drain the 5W-40 and put in the 10W-40. I personally don't know what mixing them would do but I'd recommend that you don't try it.

@@roccabauleth6186 you are correct, with the mileage getting higher I've noticed that thin oil doesn't offer much protection - which is why I go with 10W-40.

Hi I have almost the same problem as you but I don't think it's the same solution, I'll explain it to you unintentionally when changing the rack I lost track of the steering wheel so I I accidentally turned the steering wheel to the maximum and I must have exceeded the limit it will make a click and since then I have this error message what do you think?

@@kastromario8514 oh that means your clock spring is out of the range that it's expected to be on. So if you have continuously turned the steering wheel then you probably might have broken the clock spring. To fix it you need to plug in the OBD Scanner and read the degrees it's on, the adjust as required.
