Hostermipo:
Good evening Guzzuzz,

Please kindly advise me, I recently changed the COMPLETE ac system on my Toyota camry 2008 to the last hose and pipe, compressor, evaporator everything because all the ac system was completely blocked and burnt.

But the ac only worked for about 1week after changing the whole system and it stopped working, I took it back and black fluid were coming from the entire ac system.

The guy flushed all the again but asked me to change compressor i just bought because the black stuff has affected it.

Please what may have caused the black stuffs and is there any assurance that it won't happen again after buying another compressor?

Thank you

GAZZUZZ:


You bought a bad compressor .

Oga imported USA Mobil 1 oil is expensive now ... If you go to any Legit Mobil fuel station 5quarts are going for 43k ... The Mobil 1 from the middle east been imported is around 43k .... Majority of customers prefer the USA brand Mobil 1 ..............

If you are buying it that cheap. Than u can buy it cheaper at trade fair ....... I reserve my comments


Also just by scanning the barcode does not guarantee full authenticity ........ I plead the 5th to explain any further......


Have been importing Mobil 1 for the past 5plus years now... So I know what am talking about o. To be on a safer side, if all fails either buy from reputable sellers or buy from Mobil fuel station.... Again if all fails


I will not elaborate any further on this topic. ....

GAZZUZZ:


Turn the back and zoom in.

It’s 100% safe, I always get my synthetic 5w 20 from jumia, has been working fine and I authenticated before use, as I did ship them in before switching to jumia.
Forget the Nigerian market value, they add their profit untop and then the exchange rate, but I understand that's how business works.
But the oil is about $25 generally. If you want to buy it
From mobil1 direct, it’s best to check online, then they’ll give you a link to the stores that have them available, image from walmart, Amazon and eBay below.
An then remember jumia runs promotions (price slash).
Just buy from the jumia ads that already has reviews or ratings.
But I don’t know where you’re seeing for 40k
It’s usually 30k Ish, give or take 5k

Onme:
I was afraid cause Mobil filling stations said the price is 41,500 and I saw 20,000 on jumia. I was wondering why the price is very cheap on jumia. That why I had to ask.
Is it safe to buy on jumia please?

Onyeka90210:

Like I said earlier, get the ones with customer ratings and feedbacks,
I always get the one with price slash (promo)
The thing is that most of those jumia ads are from people that stocked their warehouse when the dollar was still below N700 and still have left in stock, they can't change the price "significantly" if the items are still in stock.
But the average Nigerian market place increase price with regards to current dollar rate not the rate at which they got it for.
Hence the (5-10k) difference between the prices.

Onme:
Have already order it on jumia. I got the one with recent customer rating and feedbacks

Onyeka90210:

Alright, that's fine as well.
Once you get it you can scan the small barcode infront or back using scantrust app to check authenticity and also have your mechanic check it out before using.
Just remember to change the oil and filter at
After 5-7k miles.

Onme:
Yes thank you I will do as you said . This rating you just uploaded how much is the price you see there please ?
The one I order is the one I just uploaded the pics of the rating tonight and it goes for 20k

Onyeka90210:

It’s same price but it’s for the 5w 20 extended performance
Was 25k slashed to 20k
No need to panic or anything
Once you get the one you ordered and it’s somehow or your mechanic does not approve it and has proof that it’s not the real deal, you can report back to jumia if it’s still sealed you’ll be eligible for a return or refund.

Something does not seem right. Even if the oil sells for $26 and it was bought when the rate was 700, no one will sell a fast moving product like mobil 1 at a loss in the name of promo. Not even when the exchange rate is now over a thousand. How exactly is he planning to restock?

The fact you've been using it without issues means nothing. Engines don't die overnight.

Scanning the code won't help you as well, you're only wasting your time. I have been told that empty gallons of Mobil 1 is in high demand.

I will rather buy 20w50 from a reputable mobil station and change the oil as frequently as I can than buy Mobil 1 that cost 20k.

Onme:
This is the comment of people that bought it recently you can check the date. But for me as well it seems very cheap. Exactly why I was afraid to order it in the first place but when I saw those comments I had to feel relaxed but still a little bit anxious about it after ordering it.

Itsrm:


How do you know he's not the same person using third parties to review his product?

If it looks to good to be true, it probably is.

Onme:
Now I fully understand what onyeka90210 is trying to explain yesterday. The price of Mobil 1 5W30 on Amazon goes for $26. Price of the Mobil 1 5W30 stays the same almost every time on Amazon and if changes maybe it rise with like 2 to 3 dollars and sometimes the price comes lower too.. it naira that is going up. People selling for 20k might have stuck it in when the rate was like 700 to a dollar like he said. Even currently now with the high dollar rate to naira it will still be cheaper cause let say a dollar is 1k in naira now that 26k. And Mobil filling stations told me 40,500

Onyeka90210:

Bruh, that stuff is 26$, don’t let them pressure you.
You asked if it was okay, and as a regular user, I’m telling you it’s good, if it had reduced me or other people’s engine efficiency, trust Nigerians the page would be filled with negative reviews. You can even see reviews from 2022.
I for don personally create Nairaland thread warning people.
You can’t compare people that ship in and stock up over 5k units once a year to these guys that ship only about 20 to 50 units monthly.
I did buy straight U.S before switching to jumia and I’m telling you it’s the same one with the yankee own.
Nigeria does not produce Mobil1.
No one has justified why an item of 26$ is 43k
Asides that’s mobil Nigeria price tag.
It will always be costlier at the Naija outlet
E.G
Samsung Nigeria sells brand new s22 for 500k
But one sharp gadget importer from ikeja selling same Samsung s22 from US brand new for 400k
Na fake?
Likewise if your mind is not still settled, you can return that one you ordered and buy from mobil1 Nigeria direct.
I’ll just advice you to make sure your engine is healthy and slug free before using.

Manuella4ace:


How much is the shipping fee for this oil?

Onme:
thanks so much for your in input I clearly understand everything you said. How can I ordered fo Mobil 1 Nigeria direct

Onyeka90210:

You can't order from mobil1 Nigeria, you can only walk into any of their filling station franchise to get one.
Which is technically the same as ignoring ikeja phone vendors selling Samsung and walking into Samsung Nigeria store to buy a phone.
You'll technically be paying more,as it can never be cheaper than what's sold outside but the extra cost comes with peace of mind.
Like I made mention earlier, outside there's competition and the oil will be definitely sold cheaper than what's its sold at the the outlet, the oil is sold 28k to 35k in the market, direct from importers. While the Mobil1 outlet sells for 40_43k.
Then jumia comes in with price slashes, that's why I made mention of going for the ones with price slash.
You'll hardly see anyone sell that oil above 35k in a competitive market.
Same time you can hop on jiji to get from importers and top end sellers with high customer feedbacks and solid reputation.
You can also buy from the bosses on here with reputation as well,
Summary is that the one from jumia works fine, it's the promotions (discount) that makes it look cheap.
