Changing the oil in your car is something that you can do by yourself. Although changing the oil might appear rather obvious, there are still a lot of folks doing it wrong. Making it an ugly chore or overpaying for oil changes they could do on their own. Plus, an oil change is the most important task you can do to make your engine maintenance. We’ll show you how to change oil and how to extend oil life.

•

You may have done it years ago. But with oil change shops charging more and more, it’s time to get back under the car and start saving big bucks. Plus, you won’t be pressured into buying overpriced add-ons (like wiper blades…etc) every time you go in for an oil change. We’ll show you how to change oil fast and painlessly. And we’ll show you some tips you may not know about.

Before you head off to the auto parts store, consult your owner’s manual for the type and weight of oil specific to your vehicle. It’s especially important to follow the carmaker’s recommendations for oil viscosity.  Late-model engines rely on oil pressure to regulate valve timing and apply the proper tension to the timing belt or chain. Substituting your personal preference for the manufacturer’s recommendations can result in engine damage, poor performance or even a “Check Engine” light might be on.

Don't Skimp on an Oil Filter & When to Change Oil in Car.

In the old days, oil filters were all pretty much the same inside. But not anymore. If your owner’s manual recommends extended oil change intervals (every 10,000 km instead of 5,000 km), you must buy a filter that’s rated to go the distance. In other words, don’t fill your engine with expensive synthetic oil and then spin on an economy filter—it won’t last and will decrease your oil life. Check the filter box, ask the store, or check the filter manufacturer’s website to make sure the filter you buy is rated for extended oil change intervals.

There’s a huge difference between an economy oil filter and high quality ones. But there’s only a small difference in price. If you use conventional oil and diligently change it every 5,000 km, you can get by with the economy filter. But if you regularly “forget” and go beyond that mileage or use long-mileage synthetic blends or full synthetic, spend the extra bucks on a better filter. Consider at these cutaway filters and you could see why the premium filter is a better choice.

Keeping up with car maintenance can help extend the life of your car. Because have you ever searched: How much does it cost to replace an engine? It’s not pretty.

If you get all your ducks in a row, you’ll be done changing oil in about 20 minutes. Start by spreading plastic sheeting on the ground. Then drive your car on top of it. That will eliminate all oil spill cleanup work since you can just toss the entire sheet when you’re done, or keep it for the next change if you’re lucky enough to go spill-free. Jack up the car, set the jack stands in place, and lower the car. If you’re on asphalt, place squares of plywood under the jack stands for support.

Place all your tools on a tray or in a box so everything you need is in one place. That means a box-end wrench for the drain plug, a rubber mallet (Step 1), a filter wrench, a drain pan and the new filter. Before you slide it all under the car, open a new oil bottle and smear clean oil on the new filter’s gasket. Then you’re ready to start the job.

Remove the drain plug and get the old oil flowing. Then remove the oil filter and install the new one. Once the old oil is down to a trickle, install a new gasket on the plug (if required) and tighten it by tapping the box-end wrench with the rubber mallet. Wipe the drips with a rag and you’re done under the car.

Required Tools for Oil Change. Have the necessary tools for this how to change your oil lined up before you start—you’ll save time and frustration. You’ll also need an oil filter wrench, a funnel and oil pan.

• Rags
• Rubber mallet
• Safety glasses
• Wrench set

• 

Required Materials for Oil Change. Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time for this how to change oil. Here’s a list:

• Container for used oil
• Engine oil
• Oil filter
• Oil filter gasket

While Japan may have various geographical conditions, it has one of the world's heaviest snowfall regions. Five regions are listed in the world snowfall ranking. In terms of time, snow remains on the street for months from mid-November to March (Longest until May). Under such circumstances, you can easily imagine that rust will be form underneath of vehicles used in daily lives. Also, people in snowy area do not wash their cars frequently because it gets dirty immediately after washing.

• 

• 

However, if it is just snow, cars are very well protected against it. So how does rust occur in cold regions? When iron parts come in contact with oxygen, iron oxide or rust is formed. This process is accelerated by a substance called sodium chloride, commonly used in road-salt or cryoprotectant. During the winter seasons, the roads are often covered with anti-freezing agents. Along with infrequent car washes, rust can develop quickly.

• 

• 

Areas with more snow are shown on the map. When temperatures are low at night, these areas are often laid with anit-freezing agents to prevent the risk of frozen roads. Therefore rust is often seen on vehicles used in such places. Features of this region may affect the price of used cars. If you find cheaper prices from these areas, this may be the reason.

There is a lot of blogs and advice online about how and why to bring a car across from Japan rather than purchasing locally in New Zealand. But, one thing that lacks is how much can you expect to save when buying directly?

Searching the last 1 month sales (as of 7th October 2019) within the same parameters, you can see there were some great deals in Grade 4 , non accident condition. Look at the savings, look at the profit!

IMPORTANT: Not every car is going to be as cheap as you think. One thing we notice with first time buyers from New Zealand is that the expectation is that all cars will be cheaper than pricing in NZ. 

We work on a 10% success rate at auction. This means that out of 10 cars you bid on, we will win one. But we aim for the one car to be a great deal for you or your dealership.

Why the pricing is cheap in Japan compared to NZ.

1. Automobile Tax System in Japan - As vehicles get older in Japan, the tax increases. Thus, especially when a vehicle hits about 10 years old, it can sometimes make more economical sense to trade the vehicle or dispose of the vehicle and get a new vehicle.
2. Interest Rates - are extremely low in Japan so it makes sense to get a new car every few years and pay low monthly payments rather than paying for a car outright. This high turnover of vehicles means a large oversupply of used vehicles for the Japanese domestic market. Dealers will put these trade in vehicles through the auction for the world to bid on.
3. Japanese “Shaken” (Warrant of Fitness/WOF) - comes up every 2 years. It is extremely expensive in comparison to New Zealand WOF, so once the Shaken expires, most people are unlikely to spend around $2000 getting a new shaken. This does not particularly mean there is anything wrong with the car, and these “shaken-less” cars are where you can buy some great deals at auction here.
4. Auctions - this is the cheapest and most transparent way of buying a car directly from Japan. Because there are SO many cars going through auction every week there is a lot of times where the competition at auction is low and reserve prices are generally low. This is where the best deals can be found.

So, once you have access to the auctions you will be able to see up to 120,000 cars per week going through auctions in Japan. 

You will also be able to see previous sales stats on what cars sold for. 
If you want to get some great deals directly from auction, talk to Nikkyo Cars. You can see all of our costs to NZ here.

¡Atencion a todos los importadores !!

Apartir del 1 de Enero del 2020 abra una nueva limitación del contenido de azufre en los combustibles para el transporte marítimo. 

Esto quiere decir que todos los buques deven cumplir con la IMO 2020, la normativa de la Organización Marítima Internacional (IMO en sus siglas en inglés) que entrará en vigor el 1 de enero de 2020. La regulación IMO limitará el contenido de azufre en los combustibles para el transporte marítimo, pasando de un 3,5% permitido actualmente, al 0,5% en 2020. 

Así, el límite de azufre del 0.5% es una reducción significativa del límite global actual de 3.5%, que se ha mantenido hasta la fecha. Además, también prevén la reducción progresiva de las emisiones de óxido de azufre (SOx), óxido de nitrógeno (NOx) y materia particulada (PM) a nivel mundial y la creación de las ECA con el fin de reducir aún más las emisiones de contaminantes atmosféricos en las zonas marítimas designadas. 

Todo esto quiere decir que las navieras tendran que cambiar de combustible , cambiar los filtros , cambiar de motor o cambiar de buque para cumplir con la nueva normativa IMO 2020. Todo esto ara que las navieras tenga gastos enormes para poder modificar el sistema de contaminacion de sus buques afectando el costo del flete maritimo se incrimente de una forma fenomena. 

Faltando menos de 3 meses para el comienso de la IMO 2020, una de las mas navieras mas famosas del mundo “ Maersk “ implementa nueva tarifa de combustible ambiental por IMO 2020.

Actualización sobre el factor de ajuste de búnker (BAF) y la nueva tarifa de combustible ambiental (EFF)

11 septiembre 2019

A partir del 1 de enero de 2020, entrará en vigor una nueva regulación para reducir la contaminación del aire de los barcos a nivel mundial. Mientras que hoy en día los barcos pueden usar combustible con un contenido de azufre de hasta 3.5% (fuera de las áreas de control de emisiones), el nuevo límite global de azufre será de 0.5%.

El costo del cumplimiento de la nueva regulación será significativo, por lo que el costo de envío aumentará.

Actualización sobre el factor de ajuste de búnker (BAF)

Como se comunicó anteriormente, nuestro Factor de ajuste de búnker (BAF) revisado está diseñado para ajustar las tarifas del contrato dentro de la duración de un contrato, en función de las fluctuaciones en los costos relacionados con el combustible. Se aplica a contratos con una validez de más de 3 meses.

En 2019, hemos utilizado el precio del combustible para combustible con alto contenido de azufre (3.5% de azufre) para calcular el BAF. A partir del 1 de enero de 2020, la tarifa BAF se calculará en función del precio del combustible para gasóleo de azufre al 0,1% con una deducción fija de 50 USD / tonelada.

Nueva tarifa de combustible ambiental (EFF)

A partir del 1 de diciembre de 2019, Maersk introducirá una tarifa de combustible ambiental (EFF) en todas las transacciones, que se aplicará a todos los negocios spot y contratos con validez de hasta 3 meses.

El arancel del FEP será específico para el comercio y reflejará los aumentos de costos relacionados con el combustible que resultan del cumplimiento de la regulación IMO 2020 (calculada como la diferencia de precio entre el combustible con alto contenido de azufre y el combustible con bajo contenido de azufre multiplicado por un factor comercial).

Las tarifas de EFF solo se revisarán en caso de fluctuaciones significativas del precio del combustible (más de 50 USD / tonelada).

Las tarifas del FEP aplicables a partir del 1 de diciembre de 2019 se anunciarán a fines de octubre de 2019.

No dude en comunicarse con su representante local de Maersk si tiene alguna pregunta sobre el impacto en su negocio de la regulación IMO 2020.

Asi como la naviera “ Maersk “ ya declaro que abra una alsa de combustible eso tambien lo hara las demas navieras y todos los costos de los transportes maritimos se incrementaran. 

Todavia no esta todo declarado por todas las navieras como actuaran con esta nueva regulacion IMO 2020, asi que mientran los costos maritimos acuales no suban imediatamente , seria muy recomendable embarcar toda la mercancia posible.

Electric vehicles can be seen as the future of motor vehicles but how good are they? Like all new innovations, there are plenty of pros and cons to electric vehicles. Technology is evolving at a fast pace and many disadvantages of electric cars have become misconception that continue to give EV's a bad name.

Charging Stations. Many potential owners of electric vehicles are put off by the lack of charging stations. In many cities, it is still very hard to find charging ports for electric cars and finding one can be a hassle. If you were to travel outside of the city, at longer distances, the problem becomes more pronounced. More frequent charges is require when traveling long distances and it would be a shame to be stuck on the high way without power. But as this form of transportation matures, charging stations are more convenient to find; especially in urban areas.

• 

• 

Battery Distance. Most electric cars average about 100 miles (160 km) before they need to be charged. But as technology progresses, longer distances and faster charging is no longer a dream. Electric vehicle with the longest range on a single charge is the Tesla Model S with a maximum range of 337 Miles (542km). And as more car manufacturers join the competition, the average range on a single charge as greatly increased. Recently electric cars like the Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf are all capable of ranges passing 200 miles in a single charge. They have also made electric vehicles become more consumer friendly.

Price of Charging. Possibly the most attractive aspect of owning an electric vehicle. If electricity costs USD $0.20 per kWh, then charging a small electric vehicle (60 kWh) like the Chevvy Bolt only costs about $1.20 to run 255 km. In comparison, if gas price was at USD $3.00, you can only get 40 km out of the most fuel efficient car (Toyota Prius) in 2019.

Price of Owning. Despite the improvements and advantages, the price tag can put off many to-be-EV-owners. The average entry electric vehicle starts from $30,000 but are usually partially subsidized by the local government to push for a greener environment.

Hybrid Vehicles. They have great mileage, thanks to the electric motor. Cost less to purchase and are also subsidized by local governments. In some countries you can even avoid traffic driving on HOV lanes with electric vehicles. You can also forget about finding a charging station on longer trips. Check out Nikkyo's discounted hybrid cars.
