Good day bosses,
So i bought a honda civic 2010 in july, using that oil percentage meter in the dashboard, i have changed the engine oil once. The road to my house is a bit gallopy, and I get a few hits in the chasis sometimes, i just feel like i need to take the car to a mechanic probably to check the legs becauae of the road I ply, I don't want to be caught by surprise. What do i tell the mechanic to check so i dont sound like a novice.

PS
Nothing is wrong with the car, I just want to be on the safer side.

There's nothing to check. If you do not have and noises or excessive play, stay out of the mechanics workshop . The suspension setup on the civic is not same with older hondas

Old age . Rebuild or replace engine

Bro is it bad for engine to steam from exaut at first start in the morning?

Every engine either bad or good will produce steam/vapour at the tail pipe, which will be more obvious early in the morning because of the ambient temp and humidity.




Steam or water vapour is not a sign of a good engine.

If you compress humid air, you will get water vapour

Tslim411:

There's nothing special about engine steam from exhaust in the morning. It is very normal. Forget the fallacy of "if engine dey bring out steam for morning means engine dey very sound" and go replace or rebuild your engine as advised.

On behalf of Gazzuzz, I humbly apologize, and I suggest you buy it since you're emotionally attached to it since it uses 'Nissan parts'.
