One thing about we Nigerians is that we don't understand the technology behinds engine oil.. An oil is recommended and written when the cylinder are still firing in top shape expecially on new vehicles that hasn't traveled up to 75,000 miles. most of those recommended sae are base on temperature of the region. The 0w20 is oil that I can't even recommend for anyone in Nigeria that his/her car already traveled abt 80,000 miles, this oil is very thin oil in nature and its recommended for mostly snow regions.. Do we have snow in Nigeria? The very best average oil for Nigeria weather is 5w30/ 5w40 this oil can circulate in your engine immediately u start up your engine and can hold to any temperature of the environment..
things we should also know is the engine year the engine year is determined by the API of the oil, you will find an Sae 5w30 oil in the market wit an api SL. An Api SL is adopted for 2001 engines. Sometimes car body will be 2005 and the api recommended would be SL its normal in oil tech... Forget about Mercedes said 0w20 or 5w20 and u will start calling to get Mobil 0w20.

I am not here to argue am just saying what we need to knw about oil..
Very soon Mercedes would adopt using MANNOL OIL 5W40 on their engines.
What am I even typing since self..

I am not a road side engine oil marketer, I have attended castrol engine oil seminar wit certification , total seminar wit certification...

Have you been able to locate the Mobil 2?

Eddee:
As usual, the house will argue and argue and still agree to disagree.

If an engine is still putting out optimal or close to factory performance, use the recommended oil - short and simple! If your engine has seen better days and nearing the end of its run cycle, it makes no economic sense whatsoever to use expensive oils for lubrication.

banky3w:

Not on planet earth. Maybe I'll ask Mars or jupiter.

banky3w:

Have you seen Mobil 2 ?

Eddee:


Big man, say no more! I will ship to anywhere for a token (oil is free, just pay for shipping).

banky3w:

You should also note that these oil manufacturers have specially formulated oils for even the engines that has seen better days as you said. Those with better protection and besides, manufacturers do have a reason for not saying you should choose cheaper or heavier oils if engine is close to end of its run cycle in the manual.

The long write up you are referring to by AmuDimpka is very true. That is how Physics/Mechanics work.

You are right that Mercedes recommends Mobil 1 0w40 for the C230 (recommendation as at when new) but not when the said car is 13 or 14 years old.

Let me ask you, the HID lamps some people use on their cars, is it factory recommended?

The PMS rating you use in driving your Mercedes, is it the Mercedes (Premium Unleaded petrol) recommended?

Bros, na Physics here. If the engineers of the C230 were to come and give a recommendation on the appropriate viscosity for this 14 year old car today, it won't be Mobil I 0w40.

Before I forget, AmuDimpka.... your moniker ehn....

Thank you, I've been Saying this for ages but all this itk people here ganged up against me and wanted to hang me.
Why will someone in his right senses use 0wx oil for a car that is more than 10yrs in this country.

sacramento1212:


Oga, you own and maintain your car. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If your method works best for you, go ahead and allow those without their right senses continue to stick to 0w40. If their engine gets bad you won't fix it for them and if yours get bad, we won't fix it for you.

I was told water got inside d brain box while washing d engine,that was d actual cause of d damage. and d rewire has been trying to get a replacement, all to no avail. Pls help a brother.

Don't mind them with their fake Mobil 1 oil that dries up and kill ur engine.
Anytime u say anything about oil they will start telling u that Benz recommends Mobil 1 as if ur car will pack up if you don't use Mobil 1. You can't even get the genuine Mobil 1.
I always ask them if they also use premium unleaded fuel as recommended by Benz.
I use the same oil as u do in my C320...car is over 8 years, engine still dey bring out water for exhaust.
