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.
Well summarised. The only regular "service" should be done on consumable parts in a car i.e. engine oil, AC filter, Oil filter. The transmission oil is not a regularly serviceable part as it is "locked" within transmission, that is the oil doesn't get contaminated as compared to engine parts.
@@shemotoionyango3412 Thanks. Auto transmissions indeed take longer within service intervals.They will need services eventually due to the fact that they contain clutch packs with friction material that does wear off and will contaminate the fluid over time. The fact that its oil is also under constant pressure and higher heat when operating leads to a faster break down of its lubrication properties. Most manufacturers recommend an auto transmission flush interval which can be found in the vehicle manual. It is advisable to always check the levels and note the color and smell too. Dark fluid with a burnt smell is a sign of an abused transmission, an easy thing to do to an automatic via overheating or running it with a low transmission oil level for prolonged periods.
Erick, this is very informative! Its really a great insight. We appreciate!
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
Another good dose. Very informative, great work Carnversations team. You're my number one car consultant.
Noma, this is more than just a youtube video. Educative
This is one of the most informative video I have watched thus far. Every next topic had a new piece of info for me
So informative... Asante sana Mr CK
this was an alluring and insightful carnversation
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.
You welcome and thank you for watching 👍
Very insightful, Thank you!
Hii ni class taking notes over here.very very informative
Awesome 👍..... This review is very important. You have enlightened alot of people.Thanks 🙏
Eeeish!!! I'm informed! Thanks, Wokabi. Rathimwo muno.
Very insightful content... enlighten us about CVT fluids and their respective CVT gearboxes and also about engine coolants, thanks.
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.
Correct.
Exactly what my mechanic adviced
Learned this the hard way
Very informative this. Good stuff!
Kaka, asante sana for the best education; we usually getting this type of education from abroad, thank God we have some in EAC, Well understood and using our language which is easy to know and understand
Very very insightful. Thank you
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... 👏🏽
As usual, another banger. Congratulations!
asanti sana
it's so educational
Very Insightful...Thankyou Erick
You welcome and thank you for watching
Very informative. Realizing all the blanks daily.

Great lesson.....
I once lost my brakes. At least I learnt some key lessons here. Thanks a bulk @carnversations
Big up Erick, barikwa mpaka ushangae...
Learnt very important things today. Thank you
This was a very very important video bro. I have learned a lot
Thank you Carnversations for this insightful video.
This is a very good content... thanks...CK
are petrol stations reputable sources of purchasing oil? because spare part shops are sketchy sometimes.
Thanks brother. I have learnt a lot.
Very informative i was once given a fake air cleaner which caused my MAF sensor and Throttle body get dirty fuel consumption went up and performance went down thank God this was sorted early enough. I learnt the hard way.I now stick to genuine
Great stuff, kaka. Thanks
Leo umebonga walai.I like the content.Alafu bazenga si tafadhali uongelee kuhusu car alignment.Nilifanyiwa alignment juzi but gari inasway kwa road.
Very insightful as always
This is very informative. Kudos for the good work
You welcome and thank you for watching
Good content Erick with a C K ,you didn't talk about CVT oil. Most of us tuko na CVT transmissions.
Please tell us where to buy these genuine oils, filters, cleaners and brake fluids.
Awesome...very informative 👌.
Very informative,thanks
Always informative. 💯
Good piece, review
on CVTS gearbox oils and ATF
Great work as usual
VERY INFORMATIVE
This information is super important thanks guys I think my servicing have been messing in areas
You welcome and thank you for watching
Very informative thanks
Wueeeeeh! I have been so clueless! 😳
Thank you.
You welcome and thank you for watching
Very insightful 👍
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
This is great...👊👊👊👊
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
Very insightful indeed
You welcome and thank you for watching
I have learnt alot
Wow. Powerful episode
Very informative content 👌
quite insightful Erick
Good work ericko.
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 😂😂
Thank you for the support brother
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
Check DOHC AUTO on RUclips. He explains most of your questions about hybrids. He's our Honda specialist mech in Nairobi as well
Informative 👍👍
Wah..i was clueless about the API rating..just realized nimekuwa nikitumia SL instead of SN 😭
Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 is API SN Plus, SN rated, good for 10,000km
Carnvercetamol!😁😂 love it!
I graduate today, Wooow thankyou sir
thank you for this informative piece. a quick one, is there a way of knowing genuine oil filters and air cleaners? thank you.
I will do an episode on this soon
Thank you 🙏
Mr Erick with a CK please help me and other carnversation followers know if there are also ratings on engine coolants.
Give people good advise. Only use what the manufacturer suggest. It's on the oil cap. Nothing more nothing less
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.
Thank you sir
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
me too. Never do it at a petrol station. they can even give you wrong oil esp gearbox oil
I do but only in one petrol station for more than 10 years. And only 2 of the guys do the work.
Wale wanasema hawaezi fanya service Kwa Petro station jueni SHELL ndio ikona oil poa Sana.
Interesting!!
Very insightful content.
But then, how about mineral, fully synthetic and semi synthetic oils?
I'd recommend that you check the manufacturer's recommendations, something most people don't do.
Hahaha Wokabi unapenda surprises 😂😂
Very informative.
Thank you
What are your servicing rates. For a Toyota porte
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.
If you are the petrol station ⛽how will you know this oil is sufficient for the car????
Erick with a CK. Where are these reputable Places? I service at Total
kindly where do u buy these oil rated?
Educative
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?
Erick with a Ck. B4 i buy my car i would have known alot
You forgot one more very important service component... Engine coolant replacement or top up
Very important
Hi,,,conversations......Now that I bought a 2008 fielder after your advice..... Can you kindly do a video on what you should do mechanically after buying a Kenyan used car????? What to change and what not to????
Take it to wokabi clinic .. u get to interact with him on a one on one level .. 🤝
I WATCHED THIS ALLURING EPISODE ON 27/05/2022
Dot 3 and dot 4 are compatible but both are not compatible with dot 5.1!
Most of the routine service are in paper worjcash billing process,they done few works only to run the Automobile's
Nice advice of car 🚗 oils
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.
Thank you mkuu. Unasimama na chama gani?
You should never mix DOT5 with DOT4
Very informative. I have a query though. Is there any harm mixing 2L of normal engine oil with 1L of synthetic variant for my 2008 Toyota Belta?
Synthetic oils are made to withstand harsher engine running conditions like high temperatures and higher revs without breaking down and losing lubricity or foaming. They use that stuff in racing cars that's why it's more expensive. It is also cleaner and lasts longer between changes as compared to regular organic motor oil. You can mix them, but the organic/normal one will reduce the benefits of the synthetic stuff over time. It's better if they both have the same weight e.g type 5w 20 or 5w 30 etc , based on the one your vehicle manufacturer recommends in the car manual. I either use one or the other by itself just for consistency and to help the wallet if need be.

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.
🙏
Erick... Where is your garage located?
