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 ?

Mileage is fine if it does not burn oil. the quality of engine oil used is very important. I recommend mobil 1 usa or nothing else.

The jerking might not be connected to engine oil used.

If i guess right you don't need to change the switch it needs to be reset. It's a safety mechanism on the car, the car was still rolling when you shifted gear into park. So its now hard to shift your gear to park, drive or reverse, pressing the gear release botton may help start the car but it goes back to being hard.

If the symptoms described above is what you are experiencing and you are diy the attached will help.

Windshield washer fluid. The White men that produced it are not daft. It contains some chemical that makes your windshield brighter.

yes the vehicle is good enough for city and town taxi/run. you will probably be getting around 13 to 15L per 100km depending on traffic, load and driving habit.

As for its legality as taxi use in Abuja I can't really say
