chukel:
you must be very wicked for telling this lie just to sell mineral oil that is not synthetic.

I will not dignify you with a response.

20W-50 engine oil is no good for modern engines, regardless of the mileage. It is too thick, and flow to sensitive areas like multivalve cylinders, VVT / VANOS and any other timing adjusters that rely on instant oil pressure will be impeded.

Sludge.
Damaged timing chain tensioners.
Seized timing adjusters / variators.
Poor gas mileage.
Excessive engine wear.
Premature oil pump failure.
Premature turbo bearing failure.
Clogged PCV systems.

These are just some of the results of using 20W-50 engine oil in a modern engine, which has the viscosity of honey or tar.

Some are citing Nigeria's climate as a reason to run 20W-50 in a 2015 Toyota Camry. Rubbish! World climates are taken into account when engines are designed. What is so special about Nigeria? Texas, Arizona, Nevada are hotter than Nigeria will ever be, so is Dubai and tons of other countries. Run the correct oil for your engine, and stop assuming your Kazeem knows better than the engine manufacturers.

My old Audi S2 I sold with 543,000 miles on the odometer. When it was new and zero miles, the specified engine oil was 5W-30 or 10W-40. At 543,000 miles, the oil spec remained the same, I still used 5W-30.

Those saying their engines "knocked" after using the correct oil, that's nonsense. An engine that is on its last legs, with so much play in the crank main bearings, conrod bearings will run on any old rubbish.

Some unscrupulous dealers and mechanics will actually melt thick grease and fill the engine with the resultant heavy oil, to quieten a rattling and knocking engine, just to sell the car to an unsuspecting buyer. Of course this engine is dead, the moment you drain and replace the oil, it's the end. The destruction is nothing to do with using the correct engine, this was an engine that was already sounding like a bulldozer's diesel engine, that had the symptoms of crank and conrod Bering failure masked by introducing a thicker oil, which would eventually destroy even a healthy engine.

The average Nigerian prefers to accept 20W-50 oil as good for their engines, though deep down, some are aware it's wrong. It's easier to accept the cheaper rubbish than to shell out good money for the correct synthetic oil. These users are also inherently lazy, and couldn't really be bothered to search for the right oil, or import it if they can't find it locally or nationally.

Meaning one can use it for cars btw 1990-2000 Models

The question we should ask gurus, this oil and that 20w50, which is more disastrous to your engine

Both are disastrous. API ratings should be strictly adhered to

NobleEngineer:

How much can I get this oil [ 5w30) because I was using 20w50 before.

cogbuagu:
My Guys, pls use what is recommended by the manufacturer for your car. Leave long story.

I bought a tocumbo Toyota corolla 2008 in 2014.

Believe me, it runs like new car till date and more fuel efficient than how it was when I bought it because I have been using its recommended grade 5w30.

Not just the grade but best mobile 1 oil in the world and best oil filter in the world.
The oil I use is mobile 1 extended performance 15,000 miles guaranteed which is 3x better than mobile 1 0w40 sold here in Nigeria and Mobil 1 extended performance oil filter which holds 3x capacity of dirt's other oil filter holds.

Men, these oil and filter are every expensive but the joy my ride gives me using it pays it.

See attached pix

How much do you buy them.?

Resourceful

I use Total 15w50 semi synthetic. As long as my engine starts immediately, I don't see anything wrong. In fact I am currently using Total classic because I had an issue with my radiator which led to top gasket burn and after replacement I have been having oil shortening which as made me to be using Total Classic of 2800-3200 Naira. I have done several servicing and engine blasting.

Engine oil is all about startup and then ability to sustain at higher temps. Knowing something is different from understanding it.

I am satisfied with confusion , i just bought superstar advance Api, sg, cf 20w50 now to be changed tomorrow but i dont know to return or ??

Confusing thread... The answer mechanics in the house should have given us is which Oil type is best for our Nigerian climate. Whether it is safe to stick with the Manufacturers recommendation or switch to more favourable Oil for our climate.
We move.

I wonder I never heard of Polytron from any of the Automobile and Oil specialist Gurus on this tread.

Does this mean, they don't know POLYTRON Metal Treatment Concentrate for ICE engines that reduces wear and tear to 99%.

Infact I can tell you that secret of most of those Synthetic Engine oil is the use of Polytron in mixture with their production.

POLYTRON is special oil addictive for the USA military machineries and equipment with great 99% performance across board.

Just surprised none of them mentioned it... Or maybe am living in Mars.
