THIS IS WHY ROUTINE SERVICE WILL COMPLETELY DAMAGE YOUR CAR !!! 

The word "service" for a car used to mean a serious maintenance schedule back in the day. It meant , carburettor jet adjustment, oil change, oil and fuel filter , points, condensers, spark plugs, timing adjustments, tappet/ valve clearence adjustments and the air cleaner plus a radiator flush back when regular water was used in radiators ( which you can still use in modern cars if you need to) every 5000km. Greasing of ball joints and tie rods called chassis lubrication was also recommended. Today it sounds more serious than it is thanks to new tech in cars and engines. An oil change and air / oil filter is more than enough for a regular service( modern plugs last for a long time) as well as an overall vehicle check. Mtu asikuuzie brakes, brake fluid, unless it is low or looks dirty( silicon based fluids DOT 5 lasts upto 5yrs ), shocks na "tune Up", everytime you change oil. Modern engines are controlled by software that don't need any" tune ups" unless there is an error code that lights up the check engine light.

Very informative Erick and very good insight on Oils. I would like to point out that DOT 4 b/f is compatible with DOT 5.1 b/f and not DOT 5.0. DOT 5 is silicone based and DOT 5.1 is glycol based just like DOT 4. Never mix DOT 4 with DOT 5.1. Also, DOT 3 b/f is highly hygroscopic and banned in Kenya by KEBS. If in your car DOT 3 is recommended, simply use DOT 4 it is simply an upgrade

Brake fluid should NEVER have to be "topped up" as it runs on a closed system. If it runs low this is either an indication of that your brake pads are wearing out or more seriously you have a leak.

I am knowing about API ratings for the first time. I learnt about the DOT ratings the hard way 2 years go. It is always good to do a research on your car requirements before buying any product. Thanks Wokabi for the content.

Erick, this is very informative! Its really a great insight. We appreciate!

Leo umebonga walai.I like the content.Alafu bazenga si tafadhali uongelee kuhusu car alignment.Nilifanyiwa alignment juzi but gari inasway kwa road.

There's also API SP (ilsac gf-6a) which is the latest standard... Also backward compatible with ilsac gf-5... It should also be noted that unlike dot 4 which is backward compatible with dot 3, and dot 5.1 which is backward compatible with dot 4 and dot 3, dot 5 is silicone based, hence not compatible with any other brake fluid, so should only be used in vehicles that use only dot 5.... Keep up the education Eri with a CK... 👏🏽

Very insightful, Thank you!

This was a very very important video bro. I have learned a lot

Always informative. 💯

Very informative,thanks

I once lost my brakes. At least I learnt some key lessons here. Thanks a bulk @carnversations

Awesome...very informative 👌.

are petrol stations reputable sources of purchasing oil? because spare part shops are sketchy sometimes.

Big up Erick, barikwa mpaka ushangae...

This is very informative. Kudos for the good work

Very insightful indeed

Thank you sir

Good piece, review on CVTS gearbox oils and ATF

Wueeeeeh! I have been so clueless! 😳 Thank you.

Please tell us where to buy these genuine oils, filters, cleaners and brake fluids.

okay to correct about oil most new cars ignition timing is control by oil pressures with vvt solenoids and so its very important to use the correct oil

Wow. Powerful episode

Very informative content 👌

I have learnt alot

Informative 👍👍

This information is super important thanks guys I think my servicing have been messing in areas

Good content Erick with a C K ,you didn't talk about CVT oil. Most of us tuko na CVT transmissions.

I never serviçe my car at pettol stations after an attendant put a whole container of oil kwanza ile 5l which messed my seals,i would rather pay my mech to do it. If u think doing service is expensive wait till u hear the price of an engine

quite insightful Erick

This is great...👊👊👊👊

You forgot one more very important service component... Engine coolant replacement or top up

Good work ericko.

Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 is API SN Plus, SN rated, good for 10,000km

Wah..i was clueless about the API rating..just realized nimekuwa nikitumia SL instead of SN 😭

Auto express just change for you without necessarily adhering to those ratings

most people think once they don't drive their car often so they can extend their oil service or wait on their factory oil service maintenance alert.Please oil is cheap, engine is not so change your oil every 6/7 month even if you don't drive it often.True,some engines will survive late oil change even when you don't drive the car often and some won't don't experiment with your expensive car.

Interesting!!

Excellent content you have my attention after killing my 2 engines Ml320 & X5 4.4 i have a 2016 nissan navara np300 UK import whats the best oil to use and where is your clinic located

You should never mix DOT5 with DOT4

Erique with a Ck, mmi i love the background sounds za garage, naskia wrench, mkigonga mabati, mkikata mbso hapo, that's great aesthetic. I was telling my friend one day, unafaa enda tu garage kuangalia Gari iko vipi..., si ati ungoje mileage iishe 😂😂

I graduate today, Wooow thankyou sir

Very informative.

Wale wanasema hawaezi fanya service Kwa Petro station jueni SHELL ndio ikona oil poa Sana.

Educative

Erick with C, would you please review the Honda Insight. Need to know more about performance of used hybrids. Battery life. If engine power alone can be adequate if the battery succumbs

What are your servicing rates. For a Toyota porte

I have been using shell hx 5 15w-40 for car yom 2014 , api sl/cf , how is it ?

I have never changed my car's brake fluid , for nearly (7) yes seven years. I did not kow I needed to change the brake fluid.

Hahaha Wokabi unapenda surprises 😂😂

thank you for this informative piece. a quick one, is there a way of knowing genuine oil filters and air cleaners? thank you.

Mr Erick with a CK please help me and other carnversation followers know if there are also ratings on engine coolants.

Majority of people are never keen with serving their cars..Infact most of us rest in the vehicles as mechanics are carrying out the service.At the end we complain that modern cars are useless if they break down and yet we didn't follow up on the serving procedures appropriately. 🙏

kindly where do u buy these oil rated?

Carnvercetamol!😁😂 love it!

Nice advice of car 🚗 oils

I WATCHED THIS ALLURING EPISODE ON 27/05/2022

Most of the routine service are in paper worjcash billing process,they done few works only to run the Automobile's

Very insightful content. But then, how about mineral, fully synthetic and semi synthetic oils?

If you are the petrol station ⛽how will you know this oil is sufficient for the car????

Wah Manze umwanza kutuenjoy, juzi I saw why washing your car WILL damage your radiator, kidogo kidogo, why using coolant WILL damage your car, tena service WILL kill your engine. Definitely your videos are informative, but boss go slow on those "WILLs" because WILL is a definate inevitable occurance, ie that if you e.g service your car, it is bound to definately die...no maker the parts or lubes used.

Erick with a Ck. B4 i buy my car i would have known alot

Erick with a CK. Where are these reputable Places? I service at Total

Sudden acceleration and filling brakes

Unafanya kazi safi sana kutuelimisha. Ingawaje bado gari sina lakini ipo siku😂😂 How do you know that it is time to change your brake pads?

Air cleaner na oil filter huwa cheap. Recommend "genuine" ones to use!!!

You forgot about transmission oil and coolant for radiator

😂😂😂. Kumbe si shetani huwa anakuja brakes zinapotea... Nimejua sasa

Erick... Where is your garage located?
