Hi, ma'am!

Thanks.

lubehouse9ja:

if it's here in Nigeria you don't need anything0W it's better you go for Sae 20(5w20) or Sae 30(5w30).. A 5w30 oil is an average for all weather here in 9ja..

If you are using bigger engine like Mercedes, VW, BMW, Fiat, mini Renault and GM dexos.. (you can use the 0w40 and your next service you will need get a 5w40)

Like your elantras?
I won't suffer the same fate, besides car is 18 months already and has made its money back so I dont know why you carry the matter for head.
And I've told you to learn the difference between assumptions and facts. Your mind is full of evil that's why you keep assuming evil. God don already pass you

deedee44:

You always believe you know it all, who told you I bought it from a dealer? And were you there when I bought it cheap. I know I have to replace engine even if I had stayed loyal to the almighty 5w30 synthetic oil so which cry do want to cry because you want to change engine. Yes I will sell the car or you expect me to use it forever? and it won't be out of frustration as you wish. Keep your experience to yourself sir, I have mine. Thanks

Use Mobil or synthetic car engine go still go, all na time. The way they paint it it's as if the car will just spoil once u use mobil or if you use synthetic the car will stay forever.
Sometimes before the engine spoil car go don go finish

Every time oil oil oil, somebody wee not hia word.

GentleChief:


Why are you always seeking attention like that Mannabbq.grill guy? Don't you have a real life outside Nairaland?

deedee44:

Are you suggesting I should have kept topping up with 4k+ every week.. for 18 months (72 weeks) and still counting

kodred:


Wait 20k is too much? Wow! You do know he’s traveling out of lagos right?

He’s putting in hours plus a lot of inconvenience (jumping bus to get back to lagos, spending quality time with strangers etc)

I don’t know if I’m spoilt or too greedy but I helped someone drive his car from tin can island to ocean bay area in lekki for 15k with abeg and that was in September. If it were to be December walai na double i go collect.

You seem to take driving (which is a special skill) for granted. You think it’s that easy to drive safely huh?

Forget about helper bla bla bla, who go help you go help you regardless.

Would you collect 5k plus tp and welfare(max 5k) for that trip?

You sure say you be area?

The chart below illustrates that 0w20 falls under Nigerian weather condition.. Do you know better than the manufacture? Try to be objective in what you write. Encourage customers to follow owners manual at times. Don't lead your customers astray.....

What is skushi?

I ask again.
Pls, has uber discontinued their 3% commission bonus after 20 trips

Am in pains here

Epphy:


She's right you know...
Since it is toks, better to start using recommended oil for it. At the end, cost of oil change is a bit cheaper or same as buying a cheap Mobil XHP.

But on the other hand, if you prefer to change oil often cos you feel high funds for oil change less often is too high & may not be always available, and you plan to sell car off once you notice oil shortening, XHP is your man!

Like in Chuwa's Dad's case, it is not for ehailing and as analysed by Dru23 as well. If you listen to sounds of different engines using recommended and mineral oil after few years, the difference is glaring.

I use XHP though but I know the truth. If I bought a toks for personal use or ehailing today, I would go with recommended oil.

you surely know I can't lead my customers astray and I won't judge using my own discretion..

I have study the behaviour of this all under high temperature.. Nigeria don't have that thing they cold start temperature. Lowest 9ja temp should be approximately 12°c but in the USA its something different during winter - 30°c.. That 0w20 will flow better in the USA but no be 9ja wit still hash temperature during winter.. Do you know what happen to oil under high temperature? It will melt down total and becomes like water, you need engine oil that will help you to protect wears, tears and help avoid metal to metal contact under a hash temperature and not under a colder temperature.. Wetin I know self? ..

Even manufacturer mostly state two viscosity on manual.. You need a specialist to tell you the best for your region.

GentleChief:


Your arguement sounds genuine. It may not be genuine though.

I went online after this your comment and did some research. I read something about viscosity and sludge.

Seems Camry models require lighter oils since we are in a tropical climate.

Because of this, I will stick to the recommended oil and get a good one from Radautoworks. But it will be cheap though.

I don't need mobil 1 5w30. I have school fees and Rent to pay by February 1st. My madam has also threatened to go back to her father unless I give her 10k for xmas shopping.... Yes... am that cheap

So madam radautoworks, which one do you recommend again? I will pick it up on January 4th . Good and solid but Cheap one

My neighour will call you soon too. Gave him your number.
