Kigui giki gari iki lose engine oil iko na shida gani.Shaitani

Well, umeambiwa hapo juu. I also don’t pretend to know everything. But I did Physics 101 na ka-maths 203. Nilifanya hata hizi vitu za tcp/ip, assembler na zingine za lisp. Hizo zilikuaga courses za ma 300-400 series. Sijui mnafanya gani siku hizi.

But we don’t need to do a pissing contest here. We don’t have the same goals

So yesterday as i was driving home from work I decided to stop by the gas station to fill up. I get there, add some fuel and the attendant asks me ‘nikuangalilie mbele?’, to which I say yes as I presume that it does no harm. Guy tells me that I’m low on motor oil and he suggests that he adds a quart. I agree, next thing he tells me to start the car so that he check the transmission fluid level. On checking the dipstick he tells me, ‘boss hii pia inafaa tuongeze, inaonyesha HOT’ like wtf! isn’t that supposed to be the correct reading for the transmission fluid. It is when I get a clear idea that the fool has no idea what he is doing. So I get home and I get an idea to check my engine oil level. The level reads way high above the FULL mark. I wait for the engine to cool so that I check the levels again. The idiot put excess engine oil, which is not a good thing for the engine. Apparently there was no need to top up anything in the first place. I had to take my car back so that they can drain the excess oil. Lesson learnt: Never trust these people at the fueling stations, they can really f**k you up. Do these checks on yourself.
End of rant

You must be a really new driver if you are just learning this. This is Nairobi driver lesson 101, always confirm everything fuel attendants recommend and use your own judgment

Wanafaa kuweka maji ya wiper pekee, and ensure maji ya omo haijawekwa kwa coolant

i’m considering this move starting October. I want to see how much saving i will do, if any at all.

Kama your jalopy ni hotcake with high chances ya kuibiwa then don’t try this…akina Toyotas you only do full tank kama unaenda masafari refu.Weka fuel only when need arises na iwe ni ya kukufikisha.Otherwise utapea wezi wa kasa kazi rahisi

Hii advice yako iko hivi hivi, only taxi guys do this. So asubuhi anafuel anafika job kama taa imewaka, then jioni anafuel mia moja na fifty taa ya empty tank hata haitawacha kuwaka anarudi home.

Lesson you should learn is never sit inside the car boss style when someone is working on your car.
I even sometimes get out of the car while it’s being fuelled, helps stretch and check what’s being done.
Always check your car fluids before leaving your house, not at the petrol station.

This involves also when being checked tyre pressure. Kuna petty nimemark assistant ana chukua zile nozzle covers one or two of your tyres.

Manze izo si ndio uzuia matope asiingie na kublock

Halafu unakumbuka kucheck tyre pressure…tyre pressure ikiwa chini gari inatumia mafuta mob
