A woman in ladipo wanted to sell me that same mobil1 oil. I asked her the price and she said N16k

The way I take run ehn. . . my slipas been dey touch the back of my head as I dey tear the race

Ask how much he bought that fake oil and you would wonder less

KINGKONG:
How do we different fake from original, since dealers now sell the fake ones at the price of original

There's a bar code on it to verify authenticity with your smart phone.

Original will pop up accurate details like production date batch and all that when scanned

Fake will have no details atol when you scan the bar code.

dru23:


I was told that people will buy the original empty gallon for about 2k or so. They will now pour fake oil and seal it back like the original . So you end up scanning the original gallon with substandard oil inside.......

Like I said in previous post.. Differentiating fake from original depends on much effort is put in to Make it look like original

olumzzz:

You've still not told us how to differentiate fake from original

nurey:


He has already told you he can't differentiate the fake all the time, you only know by the level of input the duplicator is ready to go to make it look genuine.

The Mobil oil has a bar code and the container body has ash colour and should be readily clean.

The details sheet should properly lap on the body of the container and shouldn't have glue showing at the sides .

The cover should be sealed without any deformity and after removal, a foil seal should be seen at the mouth which is to protect from spillage incase the container is placed upside down.

The quantity of the oil should be written in imperial form 4.7quartz not in metrics litres

Are you andrew?

Andrew liversalt or what?

Thank you my brother.... I no get power for long explanation.. You do well

I was even told that even foil seal can be duplicated ....

olumzzz:

Are you andrew?

nurey:


Eventually the safest way is to buy from reliable shops/known importer

dru23:



That is what I stated on my previous post.. Funny enough self , even some reliable source na middle man . there is a high chance that original and fake are mixed that the middle man or men are not aware of.......

I import myself no middle men or man .....

@bolded tell it to your customers

As for me VISCO 2000 SAE40 romancing my piston since time memorial

You've still not told us how to differentiate fake from original

Planning on buying mobil 1 with resurs. Make I see the magic. My top cover seal has expired and its draining oil like every 4days.naija don taya me

dru23:


Make sure u fix the leaking seal .. Mobil 1 oil is not a magician that turns water into wine o. The purpose of the oil is to continue to protect and lubricate all moving parts of a good engine..

All these Tokunbo cars that are on the road. If the abroad owners didn't maintain it and use proper oil , they will be nothing left for people to drive in Nigeria

Use proper oil and follow owners manual .. Don't be that guy here that uses VISCO 2000 SAE40. Maybe na generator engine he put inside his camry car for him to be using SAE40

Be wise o

Angrygoat:
Na bro,im no novice.it xays 5w30 and na him i dey use since. I maintain my car like my nokoa torchlght
Very fragile

dru23:



Cool bro.. As long as u follow owners manual and use quality engine oil.. You don't need to buy expensive oil , just make sure the oil is original ..

nurey:


So Visco 2000 SAE40 is not original abi?

dru23:



My point is for owners to follow manufacture advice.. If the manufacture advice to use 5w30 than 5w30 ...... But using SAE 40 😆 na that 1 I no fit support am

Samafroxy22:


Manufacturers can advise the use of SAE 30 with one other option (they mostly don't give just one option)... This is because of changes in the environment. SAE 30 may be the recommended oil type for people living in cold regions... for someone in a place like Nigeria where the sun is at times very high, an SAE 40 will be the best bet.

Car owners should always follow owners manual at all times.. And avoid going of the rail.

When a competent vehicle manufacture designs an engine like Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Audi , Volvo etc . The engineers take into account the weather conditions and the terrain those vehicles will operate. These cars are shipped and sold all over the world...

The engineers are pretty much aware of all these things. So the engines are design to operate in most severe conditions regardless of weather conditions. They don't built engines for cold weather or hot weather. But they built engines for all extreme conditions. And this is why you have the owners manual to read and follow...

In the owners manual it will tell you the type of oil to use in some extreme conditions or in all conditions etc . 10w30, 5w40, 0w30, 5w30 etc

I always get upset when people use Nigerian weather to go off the rail or an excuse to ignore owners manual. We have all year weather conditions like Nigeria in the USA .. Texas, Arizona, Las Vegas( Las Vegas is a desert) Florida just to name a few . Do u think engines are built for those specific places .. Even places like Dubai are hotter than Nigeria.......

From my years of experience, I have never a country that imports engines like Nigeria. People are always changing engine all the time. And you ask yourself why is it that way.

In the USA people don't engines like that.. We maintain our cars to avoid expensive repairs. The labour cost alone will make you ran mad .

Some engines cheap but the cost to replace will cost more. And the paper work involve is not worth it.


We need to learn to follow directions and read. And with the mindset that car owners have in Nigeria. I don't see electric cars thriving on the road even if there is 24hrs electricity. It is just a nightmare to have those cars on the road. Our mechanics are not ready or willing to learn new skills........

By 2035 all car manufacture will stop making petrol engine .. Toyota was very reluctant at the beginning , but now they have change course. Volvo has totally stop making ICE ( Internal combustion engine) ...........

And Nigerians that cannot follow simple instructions will now be driving electrics cars ....
