Akinjoseph1:

Thanks

sooperrescue:

It will be difficult to say as most of the oils are scarce and I cannot say what is not

Please comment on Mobil 3000 5W 40 full synthetic oil. Does it also dry up?

sooperrescue:



I believe that I should invite an official from mobil to come and talk about the oil destined for the Nigerian market and then we will take it from there

Conner44:
Oga sooperrescue please what advice would you be giving someone about to try out this oil in an engine for 6 months?

sooperrescue:

Waka pass. I once noted in a WhatsApp forum that any oil made in South Africa cannot be used on a US spec vehicle. If the oil is good for the US cars, it should be sold in the USA. Petrocam is supplied from SA but no details about where it is produced. Of all the African countries, Nigeria is still the only country that focuses on cars from the USA and since Oando, Total and AP are unable to satisfy the stringent requirements of the Manufacturers of cars for American market,why will we bother with an oil who sees our local oils as competitors and join them in destroying our cars?

Conner44:




Okay good advice. Although I read that this petrocam makes their oils I’m Dubai. Are Dubai production oils still manageable for American spec cars?

The only oil that we were misled to believe came from Dubai was Cepsa only to find out that it was made in Spain. I have not seen any other oil of repute from Dubai. But for Petrocam, I managed to glimpse the flag of France on the gallon but I may be mistaken. They are present in Kenya, Congo, Nigeria, SA which is the supplier. What is the common ground between the Nigerian auto industry and the African auto industry? First of all, Castrol sells engine oil for the South African market and produces another brand for the US market. Even the ones made in England for their market are not sold in the US. If you recall in the past that there was a 505 Peugeot made in the USA and the one made in France. The USA spec was higher in equipment than the French spec. Engine was taken from Volvo, Ac, leather seats were standard while the French spec was nothing to be compared to it. It is still the same scenario with the Engine oils

We are going to focus on the foreign imported engine oil so that a lot of us should be wary of using any oil just because it is of higher level than the others. Let us reexamine Toyota Corolla 2006 Engine Oil requirements. First it must be gasoline engine oil only, second, it is API SL with the energy conserving. A lot of people are using Mobil 1 US extended performance on a Toyota, it's totally wrong. Oil has levels and Mobil 1 that you will use on a Porsche will not be appropriate to be used on a Corolla. We have Liqui Molly, Addinnol and Motul that will never have reduced oil level as many are suffering with Mobil 1 extended performance. Mobil recommends all season oil and another specifically for Toyota, Honda and Nissan. While I am still researching, I will encourage everyone to use Motul energy 5w30 api Sl engine oil or Liqui Molly and Addinnol as the case may be.

Please what's the price of this motul oil 5w30? And any registered selling point in PH?

Cepsa contact please

Bros, I have never bought the oil but I recall seeing it in some big garages and they are always boasting that it came from Dubai until I showed them the place of manufacture and I believe that the adulterated gangs got the info at the same time and started doing their own version of the oil and the demand for the oil ebbed and Mobil came out with their XHP API SN which finally relegated the demand for Cepsa. Mobil XHP is now above 8k while Cepsa is sold less than that.

You are spewing garbage and ignorance .. And you call your self a range rover mechanic......

There is nothing Wrong using Mobil 1 Extended Performance for Toyota cars ... All that matters is for the oil to meet the API standard and the car manufacture specifications........

All engine oil designated for the USA market most meet the basic API standard ... Mobil 1 Extended Performance exceed those standards.. This is why anything Mobil 1 sells like crazy in Nigeria.......


Now the other brand that u are pushing people to buy etc .. I will never touch those brands.. Those brands are not even made in the USA and for some weird reasons they have the API ..below is the full meaning of API

API is an acronym for the American Petroleum Institute. The institute's Starburst stamp of approval—“American Petroleum Institute Certified”—was created to help consumers identify engine oils that meet minimum performance standards set by vehicle and engine manufacturers.



API does not regulated oil for other country .. Any oil designated for the USA as to have that logo.. They are
there only for the USA market... No API logo should be on a non USA brand unless it is been sold in the USA market


Please let us try and educate the public .. Google and Youtube are ur friends.. Do ur research my people ...

We are dru23 take pride in what we do .... And we try and give our consumers the correct information that will help them in making right decisions.....

You want to sell your products by deceiving yourself. Mobil has not in their wildest dream has ever thought of recommending extended performance oils for Toyota. They created mobil 1 for Honda, Nissan and Toyota. Another oil is all season oil for Toyota. If a rangerover 4.4 v8 recommends Castrol edge 5w30 for up to 2009 models, is it the same oil that a 2007 Camry or your Kia Rio that’s recommended for it? If Range-rover recommended 5w20 for their 2010 V8, 5.0 engine, will you recommend the same oil for a 2.7 4 cylinder Toyota engine? A 2.0 engine of an Evoque up to 2018 still uses 5w30 oil, is the oil in the same category with a 2007 Corolla 2.0? There are people selling Mobil 1 for Toyota on jumia and they don’t come to Nairaland to market their products, they pay for advertising on jumia and they are taken very seriously on that platform. Deceiving people that they can use extended performance on their compact engines is like telling a Toyota Corolla owner that he needs premium fuel for his Toyota.

dru23:


You stated that Mobil 1 Extended Performance is very wrong for Toyota cars...... There is a different between wrong or not necessary......

Now if you stated that Mobil 1 Extended Performance is not necessary for Toyota cars than fine no issues at all ... But for you to say it is totally wrong is where I have a bone to pick with you ........

I always encourage uber drivers regardless of the type of car they drive . I encourage them to use Mobil 1 Extended Performance to give them a longer oil change and better engine protection.. I tell them due to the constant use of the car .

The engine will need more lubrication and protection from heat and other wear and tears that comes with constant usage.. And to only change oil every 10k miles not 20k .......

Now other car owners that don't use their vehicles for uber or taxi purposes . I advice them to use Castrol Magnatec .. If you are driving 12k miles less a year than castrol is good. And change oil every 7k miles.. But most customers will prefer to use Mobil 1 Extended Performance regardless the application they is been used for .. It gives them peace of mind knowing that Mobil 1 EP will give their engine the extra protection needed........


Now the oil that u are advising people to use, where are they coming from? What about the reviews on them etc ..

You mention Liqui Molly .. Do u know how expensive Liqui Molly ? Especially if it is the original and u want them to use it on Toyota cars .. Don't you think it is an overkill to use it ? You also mention Addinnol oil , who makes that.. I look on Google and Youtube and couldn't find them ..... So please let us be on objective in our thinking.......


You also mention that real sellers sell their engine oil product on Jumia ..... .. How are u sure those things on Jumia are not fake ? .......

My only advice to anybody that wants to buy any oil, whether na name brand or not .. Kindly do ur research.. YouTube and Google's are ur friend ......

Is the bone biscuit bone or cow bone? I am not your competitor as I have never for once imported a litre of oil. When I talk about Addinol and other European brands, I am concerned about the Toyota. With all the hype of being reliable, why are the engines drying the oils? My first experience was when I used Oando 5w40 as it was then to service a 2008 Camry and it dried up after a month and the owner changed it to Mobil xhp and it was fine. Another time I used EP on a 2013 Camry and thank God that the owner was there when we bought the oil from Gazzzuz and it also dried up after 2 months. The man refused to bring that car to me anymore because I recommended the oil that dries to him. In my search for European oils, I studied and observed the sync with Toyota engines. It works for them and even though it does not have starburst or energy conserving, it is not drying up and therefore protecting the environment and our pockets. I was once sent a catalogue by Ravenol and that is one of the most expensive oils in the world and except for Bentley that uses 15 liters of oil, how long will it be sold out? Okay I will rephrase my English, it is not advisable to use EP for your Toyota. I was thinking in French when I wrote it. Those Jumia sellers can be mischievous sometimes but they sell higher than any other outlets Addinol oil is a German brand and I have met the Germans when they came to my office to talk about the market. They don’t see any competition in our local market. At my request, they now brought in 8 and 9 speed transmission fluids and it has done well for our repairs industry

As you can see, these 3 engine oils quoted are European oils and the fourth oil is Favoil from the Uk which I have tested on both a Range Rover and a Toyota. On a Rangerover, It dried up after a month while on the Sienna, six months after , no shortage. The sienna is a 3.5 engine while the Rangerover is a 4.4 engine. I have used addinol for all brands and it’s still the same level. Liqui Molly is now SN plus but I am yet to access it properly

Dododawa01:

2006 Toyota corolla u mentioned, Toyota didnt say we shd use synthetic oil but 5w30. Addinol German oil u stated here are not in US and if d oil is good as u stated American we buy them. I will only advised to use what's good for your engine. U stated u recommended Mobil 1 to 2013 Toyota camry owner but d oil dried up after 2 months but not all 2013 Camry dried up after six months but depend on wears and tear in d engine.
In conclusion use what's good for u and most important is d viscosity of d oil if d oil is genuine and that's my opinion.
