Not sure if that's the name as I didn't check well... Kazeem called it lubicon adrenalin.

But ADRENALIN is written on its body...

I really don't know about that oil but I'd be much more comfortable if you went with a good brand name oil. You cannot afford to play games with your engine.

I would advice 5W20 or 5W30. As written in the manual 0W20 is the best in terms of fuel economy but my brother in law had to run away from it when the price didn't correlate with buhariconomics.

I would advice against 20w50 or 15W50. Even the manual says if you use 10W50 make sure the next oil change you switch to 5W series.

I don't think 20W series engine oil are good at all, after a month they become black and loss viscosity and people only use it for 3k km besides they are sold for 3xxx for the major filling station (total, Mobil, Oando etc) let's say you use it for 3months and change that's 3x4=12k

Now I use my 5W40 for 6months or 8k km but my 6months is always complete sometimes it runs to the 7th month that's 7kx2=14k

The difference is 2k abi, multiply it by 6yrs that's 12k abi. It's possible in 6yrs the 20W would have damage the car engine and a new engine loading now tell me, does a tokunbo engine sell for 12k?

The decision is yours

Great post. It is unfortunate that most mechanics recommend 20W-50.
We need to study these manuals diligently and teach these Kazeems.

And you are using that weight of oil. Your car engine days are numbered.


Go and check the owner's manual for the recommended oil or check online. It can't be that heavy weight you are using.
