Except if the car is an old one, newer cars don’t normally need engine oil topping in-between service intervals. If you are having regular engine oil shortages in your car, then you need to know where the oil goes as this may indicate a looming engine problem. There are various reasons why the engine oil goes low frequently including high engine temperature, broken seal and gasket, worn out piston rings and valve guides, type of engine, driving style, type of oil used and also leaky oil pan and oil filter.

If the engine temperature does get higher than normal, thermal breakdown of the oil starts and the oil gets thinner thereby making it easier for the oil to get into the combustion chamber, get mixed with fuel and gets burned.

The valve cover protects the cylinder heads and entire engine from oil and water leaks. To do this, it is very important that the valve cover is oil tight. Since most valve covers are made with very thin pieces of metal, they can’t withstand the high pressure from inside especially at high temperatures. Now, to the function of the valve cover is where the valve cover gasket is needed. The valve cover gasket is a molded rubber over a steel carrier or a full rubber molded seal shaped to conform to the valve cover flange to make sure that the valve cover properly seals the cylinder and prevents oil from coming out of the cylinder as the oil flows through. The gasket gets worn out either because of excessive internal engine pressure or old age. The result is an oil leak that may or may not be visible under the car or oil residue on the engine body. Another possible symptom is a smell of burning oil in the enger cabin of the car.

The piston ring seals the combustion chamber from the crankcase while the valve guide s the motion of the valves to seal off the combustion chamber within the valve train. Rings and valve guides do wear out as the car ages, excessive engine wear or poor car maintenance. As this happens, there will be too much clearance between touching surfaces and this will allow oil to get into the combustion chamber where it gets burnt and comes out from the exhaust as a heavy bluish smoke or a mild smoke. If the engine smoke is bluish while increasing engine speed and then disappears, then the problem is with the valve guide. If it produces a mild smoke constantly, then the problem is from the piston ring, a compression test will have to be performed on the engine to determine the condition of the piston ring.

Some engines do consume oil because of the way they are designed, most especially latest German models like Audi, BMW and Mercedez Benz. For example, for some latest BMW, Audi and Benz, it’s normal for their engines to burn 1litre of oil in less than 1000miles.

Continuous driving at high speeds/RPMs may increase oil consumption. This is because the more the engine speed the more pressure you put on the seals and gaskets and some of the oil finds its way around and gets burnt away in the combustion chamber.

Using a lower viscous(thin and lighter) oil than the one recommended for your car will cause a higher oil consumption. Low viscosity oil is thinner so it can leak past rings and valve guide seals easier than heavier viscosity oils. For most late model engines, using low viscosity synthetic oil (such as 5W-20, 0W-40 and 0W-20) is recommended.

It is common for the oil sump(pan) seal/gasket to wear out and start leaking oil. The oil pan gasket seals the oil pan to the bottom of the engine. Another possible reason for a leaking oil pan is a loose or improperly tightened oil drain plug/bolt. Having the wrong oil filter or using an old/slag filter seal can cause oil leak from the filter. The most common symptom is an observable oil leakage under the car.

it is worse with Catholics, you have no idea how Vatican is using peoples money all over the world. Have you ever asked yourself where all the money from your catholic parish goes?

Don't drag the holy Catholic Church into this your shameful ceremony of greed and injustice. Does catholic church extort money from her faithfuls through harassment and coersion by threatening them with curses and hell fire?

laudate:


What are you saying? A person leaves the church and stops abiding by its doctrines, yet he still wants to continue living within an enclave designed and developed by the same church? Where is that done? If that same man becomes a muslim or an idol worshipper tomorrow, would he still live within the same RCCG Camp estate? Make una think am, nah! The best thing for such a person is to just sell the house to another RCCG member, before leaving the church. Simple. Would a Christian be allowed to live in the centre of Mecca or Medina? Or would he feel comfortable doing so?

So once he leaves RCCG to another church, he immediately becomes an unbeliever and should be ostracized out of the fold of real RCCG believers? It is only cultists that i know that treat their apostates that way. Where is christian brotherhood? My eyes are gradually opening.

Nigerian states have no powers to reject requests filed under the Freedom of Information Act (FoI), the Court of Appeal has ruled.

In a March 27 decision at the Akure Division, the Court of Appeal ruled that the requests for information, especially around public expenditure, under the FoI, are made in public interest and should be honoured by all states.

The decision came in an appeal filed by Martins Alo, a journalist, against the Speaker of Ondo State House of Assembly and Auditor-General of Ondo State.

Mr Alo had demanded the audited report of Ondo State Government between 2012 and 2014 to properly access how public funds are utilised in the state. But the request was rejected, prompting him to seek judicial redress.

The Akure Division of Ondo State High Court had previously ruled in 2016 that Mr Alo had no right to demand how the state was spending money, saying the FoI was not applicable to states and the request was not in public interest to begin with.

The judge, Williams Akintoroye, also said Mr Alo should pay a damage of N10,000 for wasting time and resources of the state.

But Mr Alo’s lawyer, Femi Emodamori, appealed the ruling on behalf of his client, arguing that Mr Akintoroye erred in his judgment and that his client was acting in public interest.

A three-member at the Court of Appeal rejected Mr Akintoroye’s ruling and agreed with the appellant that the FoI was applicable to states and it was in public interest for the state government to release its audited report.

The Court of Appeal judges who sat on the matter included Uzo Ndukwe-Anyanwu, Obande Ogbuinya and Ridwan Abdullahi.

Mr Ndukwe-Anyanwu wrote the lead opinion, saying Mr Alo has a right to act on behalf of the public to obtain the information from state authorities. He also quashed the N10,000“In a democratic dispensation, such as the Nigeria’s, the citizens have been proclaimed the owners of sovereignty and mandates that place leaders in the saddle,” Mr Ogbuinya said in his concurring opinion.

The citizens have a right to know details of “expenditure of public funds generated from their taxes,” Mr Ogbuinya added.

Several states, including Lagos, Adamawa, Akwa-Ibom and Ondo, have been rejecting FoI requests relating to their activities since the law was signed in 2011 by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The states argued that the FoI is a federal law and its provisions are simply not binding on their respective jurisdictions, frustrating ability efforts by media outlets and transparency advocates.

“The decision of the Court of Appeal is consistent with well-established principles of legislation,” said rights activist Inibehe Effiong.

Mr Effiong, who has repeatedly filed judicial proceedings for public disclosure of expenditure by states, told TIMES the states are willfully wasting public funds in pursuing the cases because the Nigerian Constitution is clear on laws like FoI..

“By virtue of paragraph four and five in part two of the second schedule of the Constitution, the states should know that the National Assembly can make laws with respect to the archives and pubic records,” he said. “The FoI Act is a law that stipulates how the public should have access to public record.”

“Even if a State House of Assembly makes a law about how the public should have access to public record, such law would only be subservient to a similar one ed by the National Assembly.

‘I am not surprised by the judgement. The states too know this but they’re just wasting public funds in challenging the matter, he added. fine imposed by the lower court.

“Only international treaties and instruments could be domesticated, you don’t need to domesticate a federal law,” the lawyer added. “Anyone who is aggrieved should proceed to the Supreme Court, but I am confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the ruling of the Court of Appeal.”

It was not immediately clear whether Ondo State lawyers, led by Taiwo Olubodun, plan to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.

The Ikeja Division of Lagos State High Court had reached a similar conclusion in late last year, telling Lagos State government to immediately comply with all FoI requests because the state was bound to obey federal laws.

But the state rejected the ruling, filing an appeal to have it overturned. Based on the principle of precedent, the Lagos State appeal would be struck out following the latest ruling in Akure.



It's another great day for democracy.

Shame on the sophisticated judges of Akure division of the state high court. A judge that thinks that tax payers don't have the right to know and question government expenditures, that one na judge?

A strange tree has become the center of attraction in Bayo local government of Borno state following the ''mystic'' circumstance surrounding it. According to Abdulmumin Umar Aliyu who visited the tree site, the strange tree has been cut off severally but keeps growing again after some time.

The tree was said to have been cut down again and to the surprise of residents in the area, the tree grew back.

The incident is said to have amazed the villagers who are now visiting the site where the tree is located like a tourist site and also offering their prayers there.

Yes, they migrate to the regions he listed and eventually dominate them. They buy up all their properties and become their landlords. You are right bro.

MissRaine69:


You fell in love with an ideal and that’s what you married.The real person was behind that facade.
How long did you date before you married? What did you know of her? Or you saw church and that was it for you?

Before you do anything hasty
Think in a pragmatic way and not emotionally. You need sit down and have talk. Explain how the lies have changed your perception of her and allow her to explain why she felt she had to misrepresent herself that way.
Now if you deceide to forgive do so wholeheartedly, you can’t keep using her past deeds as ammunition when having an argument that shows lack of emotional intelligence on your part yes you are hurt but it becomes spite if done that way.

If you undeed feel after the talk that you cannot forgive then it’s best if you go your speerate ways as a relationship with so much resentment and distrust is not a relationship it’s a prison.

As for the deaths we are mere mortals my friend we cannot tell you about the future. but you are on the fringes of depression and depressed people do not have happy thoughts. Their thoughts tend to be quite morbid at times.
You cannot attribute happiness to someone else , you make your own happiness if someone else adds to that in a good way that’s a bonus.

Babe, your reasoning is sound and mature. Your bobo must be very lucky.

Please i need a job. I studied Mass Communication. and I am sure i can do any job aside science related jobs
I believe God can use you for me, and i will send my CV if requested. Thank you

Candid advise: Go to any of your dream companies and ask them to take you in as an intern without pay. That will put you in a good stead to acquire some eerience to either get you absorbed in that very firm or get a job elsewhere. Alternatively, hit the street and learn a skill that will empower you to solve people's problems for a fee. Both suggestions require leaving your phone alone for some time and engaging in something more productive rather than spamming every thread on Nairaland.

You dey mind the bastard. Let him first adjust the last NNPC board appointment to include an IBO man. At least that is more feasible than asking to make an IBO man one of the service chiefs. Tomfoolery at its worst.

Ebonyi state governor has openly declared that he will mobilise votes for Buhari, so you can count that one for APC too. Governors are very powerful.

Even with the hard bite of the Fulani herdsmen, he will certainly mobilise Ebonyi voters for Buhari.

Lol, Ode leleyi sha

We are talking about those selling drugs without the permission to do so. Or who do you think the Aboki was referring to?

In other words, if those Hausa junkies buy from those licenced dealers, the drugs will be less destructive than from unlicenced dealers? What you people should work on is rehab for the drug junkies. This is because as long as these prescription drugs are on salesale anywhere (which is certain), it must be abused. Addicts go to any length to quench their appetites.

Omofunaab2:



Is it only trams and codeine you wayrays supply to the public?

No na. We also supply fresh and decomposing human parts. Which one do you want?

AkpaMgbor:

For fvck sakes! Cocaine, heroine, meth etc are banned hard drugs/substance...codeine is a common cough depressant! Tramadol is an analgesic just like panadol and paracetamol..they have one active agent..hence it is openly sold by pharmacies all over the country..what kind of bullshyte education are Nigerians getting these days?

Bros I tire o. Our decadent educational system is just ruining today's youth more than drug abuse does. Codein and tramadol are now equated to cocaine and meth.

Omofunaab2:



It Will be More effective If the government Should take measures to reduce the supply of the drugs than Going about sensitising their citizens about the dangers of drug abuse.


Why do you think most Asian countries have the death penalty as a punitive measure in controlling the supply of banned drugs?

It is either you did not read or understand the quote you commented on above. Please revisit as to discuss intelligently.

Roger3D:
I deliberately opened this thread to gauge their reactions on the issue and frankly I'm far from surprised. Igbos come from a culture that glorifies money and material possession regardless of whether it is obtained legitimately or not. It only confirms what we already know about these people

We actually learnt it from Yoruba culture who also glorify materialism even if it came from human ritual. Unfortunately, only a few of them have succeeded in making money true that means inspite of hundreds of missing people reported in their zone weekly; poverty is still endemic amongst them unlike the Ibos that are much more enterprising in their drug business.

Chetimah:
tell your people to do legit business not to be selling drugs,out of 10people arrested Nigerians around the world 9 of 10 are igbos...why looking for quick money...dats y most of the people on death penalty around d world from Nigeria are igbos...if people talk all u all be shouting is marginalization..

Yes they are all Ibos, including the 14 Hajj pilgrims that are currently on death row over drug trafikking in Mecca of which about 4 have been executed and others are crying to FG to beg the kingdom for mercy but to no avail. Ibos are really terrible.

EarthXmetahuman:
If you say herdsmen attack, you fulani. Infact Igbos called for atiku's head, when he said they should stop calling herdsmen attackers fulani, so why should Igbos not be called drug dealers when their major source of income is trading drugs worldwide?


How is that hate speech exactly?


Let's call a spade a spade not a shovel.

South African, Malaysians, Chinese, etc hating on nigeria today is because these Igbo people are spreading drugs all over their country same way everyone thinks nigeria is a war zone with killings day and night because of fulani herdmen.

Really? Are they giving your dear shithole bad name? It will continue for a long time to come as long as you guys refuse to let them go.

Balyz:
Isn't there a law that clearly states that a prescription drug like codeine shouldn't be sold without a doctor's prescription? Why then does the greedy ibo drug store owner clearly flout that law?

And why do the Northern junkies continue to keep them in business? If the claim is true, they are only servicing an existing demand (drug addiction). They obviously didn't create that market.

eyinjuege:


What manner of insult hasn't he dished out to them?
Is it calling some bald vultures? So, if they reciprocate and throw insults at him too there's no moral justification on his side to say they're wrong.
He has thrown too many insults around for him to claim anything. One of my main problems with him is the insults he throws around. If he was always civil, and not insultive i would have taken his message more seriously.
And his insults is not just to men of God only, but to everyone. If you feel Freeze has a manner of approach to people around him worthy of emulation (and I'm not talking of pastors now o), you need to look well o.

Please show me any link or video where Freeze insulted any pastor or person without being insulted first. Why would pastors be insulting Freeze even if he is erring? If what they teach is right, why is every pastor on panic mode to undo him? What happened to contering him with the word of God or praying for him to have an encounter rather than pouring venoms on him eveeytime. Their reactions, even without opening the bible, has only succeeded in validating freeze teaching.

buhariguy:
why not wait and see if it will be disastrous as you said.
Most of the contract already signed like railway from Lagos to kano, from Benin and calabar to Enugu will be completed in next 3yrs,
Power plant that will generate 20,000 megawatts will also be next 3yrs.
Etc.

You forgot to mention the second Niger bridge. All these paper contracts used for election campaigns will not help APC in 2019. How come after 3 whooping years of governance and over 18 trillion budget, all you guys have to offer are still promises?
