This is wrong!

Regardless of the mileage put on op's engine, it is still good to go using synthetic (provided the engine hasn't been previously abused with 20W50 oil weight) The 5w(20)(30) flows better as well as getting good gas mileage. In the long run protecting your engine. You would only need to worry about only changing valve cover gasket maybe once every year.

Op, please disregard the opinion of this guy and yes! -- 5W30 can still serve the same purpose as 5w20. Ensure you get good full synthetic oil even if you can't afford mobile 1.

This is my engine after 190k Miles on the Odometer.

You might say what you feel like but my engine Mileage is above 317k miles. Do you know how long i have used it in Nigeria to get to that mileage? to cut the long story short, the engine has never been worked on. I carry out the oil replacement by myself. Like i have always insisted... check the manual's oil selection charts and choose the recommended lubes according to region.

Whether you import Mobil or not; I gave him advise as a Lube Blender with 5 years experience on Lube manufacturing (ISO 9001:2015 certified). so keep your Ladipo boy's slap to yourself

johnny2013:
Am finding it difficult to get the recommended 5w20 for my 2003 Honda accord. It has a mileage of almost 159k. Will it be a good idea to switch to mobil 5w30 that is always readily available? Thank you in anticipation

2003 Honda Accord of 159k mileage? You can use normal 20W50 for it but drain between 3000 and 4000kms

This is a public health advisory on a new virus; the novel coronavirus (nCoV), by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control. As this is a new virus, and new information is emerging every day, this advisory will be updated as new information and research on the virus and its impact on populations become available.

The first case of a novel (new) coronavirus strain (2019nCoV) was confirmed in China on the 7th of January, 2020.

According to preliminary investigations, most patients either visited or worked in the Huanan Seafood wholesale market, Wuhan city. As at the 20th of January, 2020, 278 laboratory-confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV infection including six deaths have been reported to WHO globally since the first case was reported on the 31st of December 2019. Many of the initial cases were thought to have contracted the virus through animal-to-human transmission from the market, but human-to-human transmission has also been established. Global surveillance is being established and it is expected that more cases will be reported over the next weeks.

Wuhan city is a major transport hub in China. Beyond Wuhan, cases have been confirmed in other cities in China; Guangdong, Beijing and Shanghai. As at the 21st of January, five cases have been confirmed in four other countries: Thailand, Japan, Republic of Korea and the United States of America, all with a travel history to China.

Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are normally transmitted between animals and people. A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain of the virus that has not been previously identified in humans. Some coronaviruses can be transmitted from person to person, usually after close contact with an infected patient, for example, in a household or health care setting. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has convened its Emergency Committee today (22/01/20) to determine whether this outbreak should be declared a “Public Health Event of International Concern” (PHEIC).


Symptoms

This new coronavirus, 2019nCoV, appears to cause mild to severe respiratory symptoms like cough and breathing difficulties. From current evidence, it appears that death is a rare outcome, and occurs mostly in patients with underlying illness.

Treatment

There is no specific treatment for disease caused by the novel coronavirus yet. However, many of the symptoms can be treated. Therefore, treatment is based on the patient’s clinical condition. In addition, supportive care for infected persons can be highly effective.

Nigeria’s preparedness and response

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) is currently coordinating a multisectoral technical group that is assessing and managing the risk of importation to Nigeria. NCDC is in close communication with the World Health Organization (WHO) who is closely monitoring the situation globally. WHO is in direct communication with the Government of China and other affected countries, and has released technical and travel guidance.

The Port Health Services unit of the Federal Ministry of Health in Nigeria has been placed on alert and has heightened screening measures at the points of entry. In China, exit screening measures have been enhanced for travellers from Wuhan city at the Points of Entry (PoE) (airports and ground transport stations) since the 14th of January, 2020. This includes temperature checks combined with provision of information and masks to passengers with fever, as well as directing symptomatic passengers to health facilities for follow up.

Nigerians are advised to remain calm. Travelers from Nigeria to Wuhan, China, are advised to avoid contact with sick people, animals (alive or dead), and animal markets. Travelers from Wuhan to Nigeria, may be asked questions upon arrival by the Port Health Services unit at points of entry about symptoms of illness and travel history, and are advised to report immediately to NCDC if they feel ill after a trip to Wuhan.

The Federal Ministry of Health through NCDC and its partners are fully committed to strengthening our preparedness and response to infectious disease outbreaks. Information will be shared with the public as it becomes available.

How to protect yourself

To reduce the risk of spread of coronavirus, members of the public are advised to adhere to the following measures:

• Wash your hands regularly with soap under running water.

• Cover your mouth and nose properly with handkerchief or tissue paper when sneezing and/or coughing. You may also cough into your elbow if a handkerchief is not available.

• Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.

• Avoid self-medication, report to the nearest health facility when you experience any of the above-mentioned symptoms.

• Healthcare workers are always advised to observe standard infection prevention and control measures when attending to patients and take a travel history.

As the situation is evolving, this advisory will be updated as more information becomes available.

Clean and perfectly ok...and your budget is 500k? Go for Volvo S60

I wish to understand the reason for this... can we have explanations from some professionals?

Story tellers

Huhmmmm... informative

pricy007:
this people (parent) gave all they've to raise me, supporting me in my business just to make it successful and even abandon a lots concerning them just to support me so I think taking them with me is another way to appreciate them

They might but at this point live separately from but support and always ask after and visit them as much as you can.
Most of the times, it ends this way...

As for you and the lady...how the relationship started and those stuffs, it was a mistake but it has gotten to marriage with children.

You've got to endure, pray, show love and wisdom...

The issue is that some people seem good cuz of the condition they found themselves in.

She is your wife, you've got to separate from your parents and live alone with her. She might change if you use wisdom and prayers on her

Huhmmm

Its a pity that these kinda words find their way to the space

Lagos State

I can supply you. What's the quantity?

dru23:


During these oil debate.. One thing I didnt do is go directly to owners manual to read . All the information is free and readily avilable on line... as u can see 5w30 is good for all extreme weather ... most of the tokunbo cars are from the USA ,which are built better than SA.. Apart from that ,you can the 1999 Camry owners manual at the bottom.. I rest my case ...

Check the manual you attached... Use API SJ

In lube selection; API Classification plays the major role.

dru23:


Like I said I import directly from the USA bro... keep in mind the manufacturer date is July 2019.. So they are as fresh as possible.....

OK! but you can now change the title of this thread...20W50 doesn't harm engine that is in need of it

dru23:




To all my valued customers 5w20 Mobil 1 is now for sale ....17k ..... The manufacture date on these was July 05 2019.. Still fresh....


StP oil filters for Toyota , Camry , vibes ,matrix corolla , Yaris are available @2k naira .. Know what you getting ...

Whats the API spec for this Mobil 1? SN Plus?

dru23:


Am asking you why you guys don't have gtx Magnatec ? You telling me Magnatec stands out. ....on the European label your 5w30 says Magnatec and the USA label it says GTX Magnatec ..what is the difference bro ... abi na just labeling or false advert ..or because the gtx magnatec exceeds or has better protection than Magnatec .... Am waiting sir

Its not false advert... its like a HYBRID. Just like combining the features of the two ranges (GTX and Magnatec) in a single product. Thats just the secret.

GTX has its strength in fighting SLUDGE while magnatec has intelligent molecules as its strength. These clings on the bodies to be lubricated even when the engine is off for a long time. Thus, at the first motion of your engine mechanisms, there is protection from the start.

dru23:


Why no gtx magnatec now

We only have EDGE, MAGNATEC and GTX... That Magnatec GTX is advanced blend tailored for US Clime... Just Like GTX 20W50 is tailored for West and Central African Market.


Bros; go for Edge Professional 5W30 or 5W20..(but 5W30 is preferable cuz of the range), you will get the result you need.

Have you heard about 'intelligent molecules'? That's what makes MAGNATEC stand out!
