Honda Accord 2003. What's the best engine oil to use for this car in Nigeria.

agyo:


Toyota corolla, 2006-bank model, 1.8 Gli is what's written against the boot, 16valve written on the engine cover, 4 cylinders, milage 180,076km. I have been ignorantly using the 20w50 since I bought the car 12 yrs ago, not smoking, not emitting morning fog smoke anymore.

What's the recommended oil for my car?

dare01:
I own a Toyota Camry 2000 2.2litre engine 4 cylinder been using forte oil visco 2000 20w-50 for years as recommended by my mechanic and have not had issue but fuel consumption seem to increase just a little which I believe is wear and tear. my vehicle recommendation is 5w-30.


Its possible to switch to a synthetic high mileage mobil 1 5w-30 oil at this moment or stick with my visco 2000 20w-50 oil.


No White, blue, and black smoke

Services is done every month


Engine rev well, response well on top speed.

ignore this if your engine has been using mineral oil for a long time.

The engine would have built up protective sludge, that would stop it from burning oil.

In the event that you switch to full synthetic oils, the cleaning agents in the oil will breakdown the sludge, and engine might begin to exhibit oil burn and smoking.

If you did not start with synthetic, and you have been following bad gang for over a year, stick with your bad gang.

When did Engine become a living organism that build up something to protect itself.
Sludge of any kind is never or can never be good for an Engine.

deavicky:
use the recommended oil at anytime it's not a problem. I was using that visco 2000 on my 08 camry till i discover the write oil i switched no problem.

I used 5w 30(Manual spec) Mobil 1, fully synthetic on my Toyota Rav4 2001 model the first oil change after purchased as Tokunbo about 9-10months ago. I decided to change the oil today but no Mobil 1, 5w 30 fully synthetic, so I was advised to buy Mobil super 2000, still same 5w-30 but Semi synthetic. To my greatest surprise, the car exhaust was full of smoke and couldn't accelerate well enough. I had to call my mechanic and drain out the oil immediately, After touring several Mobil filling stations, I got Mobil 1, 5w 30 full synthetic, (1Ltr x4)- #4k per litre. and engine work smoothly again. Please, I need advise on what substitute to use on my car on next servicing because Mobil 1, 5w 30, fully synthetic is not readily available in Mobil filling stations anymore, except for the Mobil super 2000, 5w 30, Semi synthetic which I learnt they will replace the fully synthetic with, don't know how true though, Thanks in anticipation

This is an unproffesional advice regarding the topic of using the right oil, it better to say if ur engine seals are bad it may leak becus of the light vascosity or If ur engine rings are worn out u may burn oil and will need a higher vascocity oil, so that they will prepare their mindset not telling them to continour using wrong vascocity oil resulting in high engine wear and tear and bad fuel economy, i have been reading ur comments in other treands and e be like say over sabi dey worry u
