Feel free to do the needful with Carquest oils
Let us see the car quest oils for our vehicles from the US. That's all that matters. If the oil is using the Syngard technology like Valvoline does, I rather buy Syngard oil and transmission fluid. All those prime guard are made by cross oil, which is Syngard

Madam, that's my company o. I will help resolve the issue if I know what went wrong.

I've been wanting to talk to to brass for longest and getting the run around. The fact you don't know about my issue means they didn't take it seriously. This one na DM matter.

They are filling a void,a big void. DHL is expensive and Nipost is on life support. If there's any issue, it is better to talk to the management team in order for them to improve.
Wch void. My experience with is nothing to write home about.
Wch coy charges demurrage for picking up an item after 24hrs of arrival including failure to notify up of the same as earlier agreed.

If DHL tries to deliver to you and u are not available for some reason or the other, they will retry at no cost.

I don't have issues with GIG pricing, I hate failure to deliver as promised and terrible customer service.
Imagine u send sumtin to a friend n he warns you never to use them. That says a lot.

Been there done that for almost a year. When I walked in the building last month, they still had no idea who I was or the issue despite many emails and calls from my logistics team and myself

Your car requires 0w30 or 0w40 for all weather protection. The 0w30 used to be available at Total outlets but I can't say for now. You can also use Mobil 1 0w40

0w40 or 0w30 is good but to be on safer side,rather go for 5w40 considering the viscosity and driving condition here.

Your Camry is likely an American spec..... Meaning American spec cars like your Camry ,will need American engine oil ... you should not be using European engine oil for USA cars....

So USA import Castrol 5w30 is for sale for 13500k and oil filter for your Camry for 2k.. The oil filter is also made in the USA

What's your VIN? Or the first three digits to settle this euro or American argument so you can be advised on the right oil?

Pls house, where can I get original 5w20 engine oil. That's the recommended oil for my Honda pilot 2008. I just bought it toks few months ago.
Unfortunately, I went to service the engine to one mobile filling station in Lagos and they convinced me to use mobile 20w50 against the recommended oil ie 5w20. That was on August this year. So the oil that's in the engine currently is 20w50. I'm afraid it may damage the engine based what I have read.
So, I want to revert to 5w20. Should go ahead and change it now or wait till next service?
Pls where can I get original 5w20 oil and do the service? How much is the price?

What is the verdict on our Nigerian made engine oils? Should we boycott the oil for 3 months so that they will adjust and sell quality engine oil to us that are suitable for the cars that we drive. If we are importing 2.5t Naira of used cars, the engine oil for these vehicles should be available. Thanks Dru for your efforts and also Radautoworks. Without you guys, and other guys like autotrader2 and Gazzzuz, there would have been no car that will last 2 years in the country. Total and Oando should be commended too for migrating from 5w40 to 5w30 but we encourage them to give us 5w30 gasoline engine oil only and 5w20 and 0w20. It is what the industry needs and not what they want us to use. The era of ignoring the motorist is over.

The choice is up to Nigerians customers, it is up to them to follower owners manual at all times , it is up to them to seek quality oil whether I tell them or you tell them.. I can't force anybody... but what I will tell you is that I lost faith long time on Nigerian goods been sold on the market.... I import all my stuff from the USA ,and if the customers want to buy from me ,it is up to them .. And if they want to continue using 20w50 or any Nigerian made engine oil . They should continue doing so , they are in return helping the ladipo guys bring in more engine .. If people are taking care of their engine, the engine seller in the market will not see engine to sell.. So engine seller need market to survive o ...but for me personally I will rather import all my stuff ,than risk buying fake or substandard product from the market...

As a matter of fact the engine oil I sell , I sell at a discount price that the profit is not worth it for me anymore . So eventually I will stop selling and keep them for uber cars once I increase my fleet... how many times do I come and complain of engine issue or car issue on the forum? Biko I can't kill myself and save everybody . life is too short.

Hmmm. A lot of us are not aware of the dangers of the 20w50. People are still producing the oil and so the problem continues. We will get there when the mechanics are determined to make our cars to last longer on the road. But 90 percent of the blame goes to the owners of the cars. They buy any oil just to save costs and in the end blame their smartness on us. How can someone allow his mechanic to use xhp 20w50 on his 2013 range rover evoque? This is the sad reality that we are facing and we need to do something about the ignorance among the people who patronize the oil.
