Oga Gazzuzz Good afternoon. Please I need your advice. My car is a Corolla 2003 and the oil I use is Mobil 1 5w30 but the price is becoming too exorbitant that I am thinking of changing to a more cheaper ordinary Mobil. Please is it possible to to do the switch and if it is possible what type of oil do you recommend? God bless you sir.

short term you think you save money. Long term you dont.

As a seller of Mobil 1 I cannot recommend any other brand.

look up coastal semi sythetic oil. A product by Warren in the US. Coastal will do a good job also protecting your engine until you bounce back. That's the pro but the con part is you can't do more than 5000 Miles with that oil if you love your engine sludge free. Sold for 8k.

I really appreciate the good works you are doing, I noticed coolant loss in the radiator on my Toyota Highlander 2004, took it to the mechanic and he replaced radiator cap, still had same issues and car got overheated, took it back and noticed a leak on the plastic part on the top of the radiator, he replaced the plastic part and still same issue of coolant loss after driving, while washing the car this morning, I noticed lots of coolant on the rear floor just behind the front passenger seat, the coolant gets so much and also little around the front passenger just along the door side, but that of the rear floor seems so plenty after driving what could be the cause and solution I would appreciate thanks

Check if the shinning silver in the headlamp is okay that can cause it not bright enough, you can also Change the bulb to fluorescent bulb to make it travel far and bright.

The best oil is synthetic oil but the liters depend on the engine capacity. some are V6 engine or 4 cylinders.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by maxygirl(f): 10:18am On Jul 19, 2019
I just got a Toyota corolla 2007 model last year. Initially i used conventional Mobil oil (the one sold for 5K). I later switched to Mobil synthetic this year and have not serviced my car in 6 months. The car is jerking a bit and i got our company driver to check, he says i may have to change the plugs and service the car... Some of my friends says Synthetic oil is not necessary for Older, high mileage cars... my car is about 135k.... what do you think please ?

What kidda Mobil synthetic oil did u use, if it's not annual protection then 6 months without oil change is way too long, I think it's either 3000miles or 6months which ever comes first, as for the issue of jerking, have ur car scanned. Synthetic oil not necessary for older cars with high milage; I have no idea about that, let's wait for the subject matter experts to comment on that.
