dru23:Bruh, I am not trying to spoil anyone's business oga, I have been importing and selling stuffs from the U.S as well for over 5 years. Are you telling me people selling for 43k are not seeing profit? (They are importing for 43k and selling 43k?) Dey play How does $25 from mobil1 U.S translate into 43k Nigerian naira? You do have to understand people have different shipping methods and different profit targets, thereby making pricing different. Mobil1 Nigeria is selling 43k, doesn't mean every other person selling it is not getting it in their own way. What I'm getting from you, is that you're using Mobil1 Nigeria price to dictate at what price you'll sell (I understand that's business) But doesn't mean people aren't getting it cheaper bros. Like I said I have seen legit importers sell from (28k-35k). If you are selling 43k cause that's what mobil1 Nigeria is selling, that's on you, enjoy your profit. But saying “anyone selling a $25 motor oil cheaper than 43k in Nigeria is selling rubbish” is jokes. 8 Likes 1 Share |

GAZZUZZ: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?

Onme: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. 1 Like

Onme: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. You asked if it’s safe, and I’m telling you it’s safe as it’s something I use. You’ll definitely notice the difference when you switch.

Onme:It’s same price but it’s for the 5w 20 extended performance Was 25k slashed to 20k You can sort by customer ratings 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 and refund. 3 Likes |

Onyeka90210:Thank you so much I really appreciate but there is no way I can ask for refund if unfortunately the oil is somehow cause my mechanic would have unsealed for him to take a look at how the oil is..The only thing we can do without unsealing the oil is to scan the code. Anyway when it delivered I let you know how everything goes. 1 Like |

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. 6 Likes |

Itsrm: I cannot but agree with you. The first time I bought Mobil 1 (5w 30) was last year October and at the rate of #22k, my next car service was April this year and it went up to 35k. Suddenly everyone is selling for #20k. Guys be careful out there o 3 Likes |

Itsrm: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.

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 1 Like

Onme:Bruh, that stuff is 26$, don’t let them pressure you. You asked if it was okay, and as a regular user, I’m telling you it’s good, if it had reduced me or other people’s engine efficiency, trust Nigerians the page would be filled with negative reviews. You can even see reviews from 2022. I for don personally create Nairaland thread warning people about fake oils from jumia. You can’t compare people that ship in and stock up over 5k units once a year to these guys that ship only about 20 to 50 units monthly. I did buy straight U.S before switching to jumia and I’m telling you it’s the same one with the yankee own ( just find the one with reviews and a price slash) Nigeria does not produce Mobil1. No one has justified why an item of 26$ 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. 8 Likes |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Onyeka90210(m): 7:04pm On Sep 29, 2023 |
Onme: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. 8 Likes
