AutoTechNG:
Will/Can using oil specified by the manufacturer shorten engine life?

thebigkendo:


So I went to the Toyota website and did not find where Toyota called their 5w-20 & 0W-20 equivalents..
Atleast we all sabi English
5W-20 is an option when 0W-20 is not available, doesn't mean they are equivalent.

Any 0W grade oil will definately be synthetic
5W can either be mineral, semi synthetic or full synthetic.
It would have been better if Toyota had label the 5W-20 and not label the 0W-20 since we ready know any 0W oil is synthetic

autotrader2:


You went to Toyota site and instead of asking them directly , you were searching! And you still say you sabi English!

I'm done here

thebigkendo:


Hahaha just as i expected.. You go shift post as usual.
Why did you not ask them when you were buying the oil? So you can defend what you are selling instead of insulting everybody that ask for info

mexxy1:


What facts are you talking about here?

I have used the Toyota Oil the OP is selling and like I stated, the Mobil isn't better from my experience. That is why from my next change, I'm switching to Honda oil. I was using Milemaster 5W 20 initially till the seller stopped importing so, I started using Toyota 5W 20. I switched to Mobil 1 5W 20 to know the difference and, like I stated earlier, my next change will be Honda 5W 20.

I use basically only manufacturer recommended fluids for my vehicle apart from oil which I have used the three stated above due to my inability to get Honda 5W 20 initially.

Now, you tell me what facts you have to show that the Mobil oil is better than the Honda or Toyota Oil? The manufacturers in their owners' manuals state that the oils should be API certified. So, Who are you to say otherwise?

timifakay:


Facts as in data sheet or lab test results before and after oils were used.

thebigkendo:


Bros you are getting it all wrong, I am not condemning any oil brand & I never said it any oil is the best, you compared the 3 different brands of oil & stated they are at per from your experience .. My question remains.. What type of oil is Toyota motor oil... Mineral, semi synthetic or synthetic? or does API certification determine my oil change interval?
As you can see from the pictures I posted, I not a fan or loyal of any brand of oil,all I need to know is if the oil is synthetic or not
1. So I can plan my oil change intervals, 3k or 5k miles
2. Value for my money.. Why should I buy mineral oil for the same price I will get a synthetic oil which will give me longer Oil change interval

So If I buy Toyota motor oil, what oil change interval do I use? Mineral or synthetic?
Toyota 0w-20 oil clearly states synthetic... What is the 5w-20?

I think I get you now. But, rather than ridicule someone's business, I suggest you do your due diligence and go for what suits you.

thebigkendo:


Please quote where i ridiculed his business. I only asked a question(which is basically me doing due diligence). Atleast you saw our discussion with him,he is the only one throwing insult up & down.

I did not quote him, he quote me calling me hypocrite and what not.. I am on nairaland to learn, not in insult anybody.
If he can prove to me his oil is synthetic and he is selling for 3k per Quart .. I will switch to it over synthetic mobil 1 or the semi-synthetic honda motor oil i presently use, since i will get more value for my money.
If it is mineral oil at 3k per quart, I no do
If it is synthetic blend at 3k per quart, i no do too

As i said before i am not all about brand of oil. I am about oil grade & type (conventional/Mineral, synthetic blend or full synthetic)
I don't have any beef with the Oil seller

mexxy1:


That's very childish of you. I have personally bought and used this oil from autotrader2 here in PH for use on '04 Honda Pilot with no issues.

It has the API certification and meets the standards recommended by the vehicle manufacturers and, from my experience, I think it is at per with Mobil1 5W 20 which I currently use as I used the Toyota Oil for a while then switched to Mobil oil to compare. From my findings, I'm switching to Honda 5W 20 next as they're of same quality. Although, I think Mobil 1 "Extended Performance" might last longer but, I'm not going for that now.

AutoTechNG:


Which oil in particular?

AutoElectNG:


Some say you cannot switch....by this deft move...Exxon Mobil Corporation the makers of Mobil 1 are basically agreeing with the position I have long canvassed that one can switch from conventional to synthetic even after long usage of the former!

greyham:


I switched to synthetic from over 10 years (of regular oil changes) with conventional oil.

It's been almost a year now and no engine problems. Heck even a misfire issue I used to have has disappeared.


NB: 10 years includes time spent with previous owners as they said that's the oil they use
