Production of the Tesla Cybertruck production is going to be STOPPED from middle of 2027 and here is what that means for owners in this part of the world 👇
See the sludge chai 😭
Modern engines can’t survive this torture because of the advanced valve timing technology on most of them.
They are dependent on clean oil passing through those tiny passages
1.8L 2ZR-FE engine in a Toyota Corolla: This vehicle did 75,000 kilometers (46,603 miles) with no oil change. I'm surprised it ran this long without breaking down. Bonus points to whoever can guess the owner's gender 🫠
Engine Oil is synonymous to the Blood in the Human body but unlike the Human Blood, it doesn’t have the ability to clean itself which is why you have to replace it periodically.
The engine oil lubricates and cleans the moving metallic parts of your engine while you are driving.
The moment it gets dirty…the lubricating ability fades away and your engine becomes less protected.
Dirty components keep accumulating and the engine starts to suffer starvation due to these debris.

The average annual salary of a mechanic in the USA is approximately $50,620 (70 Million Naira) according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics…shouldn’t be far off for a Nigerian mechanic that has a proper workshop setup because cars develop faults more frequently here.
I helped a mechanic recover his money legally after a wrongful transfer.
When he told me how much was in his account before the transfer, I nearly lost my composure.
This man can comfortably rent a duplex.
I just told him, “Remove that dirty jacket. You are deceiving the public!”
Car dealers that want to sell ‘A Bad Car’ love to see a buyer’s mechanic coming.
They just have to call the mechanic aside, negotiate a commission and the mechanic convinces his client to buy the car.
With good cars, the mechanic will convince the buyer otherwise because the dealer hasn’t negotiated a commission.
This happens everyday during used car sale transactions.
But not every office has gotten the memo. One Lagos banker says sneakers, no ties and native wear are all allowed at her bank, just not Crocs.
Read how they have reshaped Nigerian work dress culture on 234Drive with the link.

Crocs went from children's footwear to the unofficial uniform of young Nigerians, but the reason they stuck has less to do with fashion than with the country's roads.
A THREAD
Between long walks to bus stops, patchy roads and flooded junctions in the rainy season, a shoe you can wade through and simply rinse off became a survival tool. Hospitals adopted them early too, for protection and breathability in the theatre.
It’s individuals that are involved in the offloading, not the Government.
Agents get paid millions to clear cars coming in from the port and in the process of offloading they damage parts.
It now seems like car owners are always hoping for damages that can be easily repaired.
@234Drive When will that "anyhowness" be detailed to the individuals involved and not to the country? The change we all crave for starts with you and me.
No explanation can justify the damages car owners and importers incur from sub-standard offloading processes.
Broken fenders, Damaged oil sump, damages bumpers and headlights.
It’s just the ‘anyhowness’ culture in Nigeria…how you know it is so bad is they offload ultra luxury cars the exact same way.
Pls can someone in the auto industry explain why people don’t invest in proper car ramps?
Won’t people pay to have their vehicle properly offloaded to avoid damages?
Welders can easily construct this thing.
I know things aren’t always as straightforward as it seems from the outside.
