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

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

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.

Another good dose. Very informative, great work Carnversations team. You're my number one car consultant.

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.

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

Very insightful, Thank you!

Very insightful content... enlighten us about CVT fluids and their respective CVT gearboxes and also about engine coolants, thanks.

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... 👏🏽

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

Very informative thanks

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

VERY INFORMATIVE

Big up Erick, barikwa mpaka ushangae...

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

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

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 very informative. Kudos for the good work

Thank you 🙏

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

Very informative content 👌

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

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

quite insightful Erick

Informative 👍👍

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

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

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

Good work ericko.

Wow. Powerful episode

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

I have learnt alot

Thank you sir

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

kindly where do u buy these oil rated?

This is great...👊👊👊👊

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

Carnvercetamol!😁😂 love it!

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

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 😂😂

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

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

I graduate today, Wooow thankyou sir

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 😂😂

Interesting!!

Give people good advise. Only use what the manufacturer suggest. It's on the oil cap. Nothing more nothing less

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

Erick... Where is your garage located?

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

Educative

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

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

Dot 3 and dot 4 are compatible but both are not compatible with dot 5.1!

Link ya review ya peugeot 207 model

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

Very informative.

Nice advice of car 🚗 oils

You should never mix DOT5 with DOT4

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.

I WATCHED THIS ALLURING EPISODE ON 27/05/2022

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?

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

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?

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

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????

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

I even dint know which oil .....to use wooooi....🙄🙄🙄🙄🙈🙈🤷‍♂️ so should I change my engine oil
