legalwealth noun 1. a strong feeling of self belief in wrong things ie...the weather abroad has a direct impact on the sort of engine oil to be used on a car; 2. a great interest and pleasure in promoting falsehood. ie...5w20 engine oil is not readily available in nigeria; verb 1. feel the need to be penny-wise and pound-foolish ie...can import catalytic converter and 02 sensor from Yankee buy can't take the pain to look for ordinary recommended oil in Nigeria 3 Likes

diportivo: Are catalytic converter and 02 sensor recommended to be changed after a certain period of time like the engine oil by the manufacturer of vehicles? They only advise one uses OEM version of the spare part for optimum performance of the engine. You buy quality ones of those items, then you use them for years and they will also have good impact on the engine! I decided to buy those ones in USA for longetivity purpose because we all know that must ones available in Nigeria are of low quality. Thank God you as well confirmed the so-called oil is not available in Nigeria. Since Gazzuzz failed to answer my question of if Mobil is not sensible or not aware of the recommended oil not to have made it available in Nigeria but in USA.... You can answer it. They must have their reasons for not making it available in Nigeria but they made others like Mobil XHP available. Everyone shouldn't get me wrong that I'm telling them not use the synthetic recommended oil... Anyone can use it if she/he has time for the stress let alone disappointment of looking for the oil which is only available with some so-called nairaland god of mechanic based in Lagos state only out of the 36 states that are in Nigeria. My point has been why will I want to stress myself when recommended alternatives like Mobil XHP are readily available in Nigeria and not some people calling themselves god of mechanic will start chronically attacking and seeing those using the alternatives as badwagon and unwise people whereas they are the unwise one. Common sense is not common though but I will advise everyone to officially ask Mobil the reason(s) they are not officially bringing in the synthetic brand like the one the so-called god of mechanic are biasely advertising and selling to Nigerians into Nigeria. I will even like have the official response of Mobil regarding this on this page and I know that they will surely do that soon or later! !! Final note to Gazzuzz; the so-called nairaland god of mechanic, stop biasely recommending let alone advertising and selling your so-called Mobil synthetic engine oil to Nigerians. Thanks |

kayus2: This is what I'm saying; you better stick to the same config engine oil like mine that you've been using which has as well been working well for you just like mine is working well to avoid stories that touch. Small time from now if you let them play upon your intelligence; they will tell you to change the engine of your car and start using the so-called oil that is not readily available in Nigeria. You will start begging them and stressing yourself out getting the so-called oil even with you spending nothing less than N20,000 to get the oil. Anyways! The decision is yours and I wish you best with whichever one you go for. |

legalwealth: sadly with all your noise, this is where your problem lies. You will rather use 5,000 to service your car and replace your almost 200,000 engine. Sad situation. I thought you were smarter. 2 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: Your responses are full of elements of pride and lack of common sense. Does that I'm not aware of that calls for such senseless response? How many people know that in Nigeria? Did I tell you I'm a mechanic let alone studied anything related to what we are discussing; I've only be applying common sense that I got from higher education to relate with you. Have you also used common sense to ask them the reason they stopped selling it in Nigeria even if it is confirmed they sold it for 2 years in Nigeria. OMG! Revelations are coming out for everyone to see. |

GAZZUZZ: We've thrashed and talked about this in previous conversation on this thread; why bringing it back severally? Let's endeavour to move forward on the issue of oil and forget about mine. Is it your money that I want to spend even if the engive eventually pack up today though it is still working perfectly and it will still spend at least additional two years making 4 years with the Mobil XHP that I'm using and have been using? I do spend at least N10,000 each time I service it every 3 months or after it covers nothing more than 5,000 miles and not N5,000 that you mentioned as a biased strategy of yours. It is not possible to service Honda E0D 05 with N5,000 which I expected you to know and not say it being a so-called nairaland god of mechanic... So disappointing of you Mr man! !! |
Re: Is It Safe To Top-up Engine Oil When The Level Has Gone Low? by legalwealth(m): 12:13pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
Lol! What year did they sell the oil for 2 years that you said that you are telling me I decided not to use the said oil. If you've forgotten; let me remind you that I started using and servicing the so-called car in 2016. I made my research for the best oil and recommended oil till I got to see only Mobil XHP. If I had seen or know about the so-called synthetic oil that MOBIL made it readily available and selling it even at that time, not a matter of bragging, I will go for it because the money to buy it is not a problem at all. Not a matter of bragging, kindly note that I'm not those kind of people that decided to use EOD because they are broke; I decided to ignore buying Toyota Venza worth 4.5M in 2014 and use the money to step up my business. Hence, I'm using a car that I'm kind of 3 times far more than which is one of the reasons it is still looking sharp and clean like Tokunbo even after 2 years usage. |

GAZZUZZ:I dey pity the kind ignorance he's displaying despite leaving in a city, knowing so much about Internet and ecommerce, learned? He can't read the user's manual of his beloved car, simply buy oil from konga and still refuses to agree that he made a big mistake? And will later sell that car to another innocent Nigerian? No wonder I use to see a lot of cheap EOD on OLX just because of ignorant people like him and his mechanic. 1 Like |

disloman: Engine oil is not the major cause but your lack of maintenance culture does. |

Re: Is It Safe To Top-up Engine Oil When The Level Has Gone Low? by legalwealth(m): 11:32am On Mar 07, 2018 |
seyema: I never made a mistake, I read the manual and I know there are highly inconsistent sellers and inconsistent availability(extremely scarcity of the oil spec in Nigeria) of the said engine oil but I decided to go for option of engine oil that is readily available anywhere in Nigeria. The engine oil spec has also been confirmed even by some people on this thread to be working fine though it might only be applicable to those with high sense and culture of maintenance. Sure you are using general lack of maintenance that most Nigerians including yourself to biasely judge but you sure must count me out of them If you don't know and for you to know; engine oil is not the only and major thing that needs to be maintained in a car. Common sense is not common though! !! |
Re: Is It Safe To Top-up Engine Oil When The Level Has Gone Low? by legalwealth(m): 11:40am On Mar 07, 2018 |
disloman: My engine can never knock; you can as well ask the other guy on this thread that said he bought a car from someone using the same spec of oil which he also continued using has seen his engine knock. Don't forget I said that there are other things aside engine oil that need attention. Some things like Catalytic converter, 02 sensor etc in the sense that if one is even using manufacturer specific oil and those things are not in place or in good condition or working perfectly, engine can knock at any time. Not using manufacturer specified engine oil is not the major cause of engine knocking for those that don't know! !! |

legalwealth: Engine oil is required for lubrication of the engine, the wrong oil will result in poor lubrication and result in increased wear and tear. Google is your friend. |
