Once met a guy who had not changed his engine oil in eight ( months. The oil had become thick it was churning into grease. The guy was lucky the engine was still alive. And to think he uses the car for Uber. Another guy told me he only changes his oil twice a year, a month later engine knocked. Be good to your car and it will serve you well. My uncle used his Volkswagen Santana for 23 years. We had to sell it after he died not because it was bad bad, we knew we won't be able to maintain it like he did. |

[b][/b] THE TRUTH IS, MOST VEHICLES BROUGHT IN TO THE COUNTRY AS TOKUNBO OR FAIRLY USED HAVE THERE ENGINES NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND FOLLOW THIS OIL SPECIFICATIONS. SOME DEALERS CHANGE THE OILS THEMSELVES TO NEW MOBIL 1 OR 5W 30. WHICH IS OF A HIGH GRADE SYNTHENTIC OIL.WHEN THEY ARE PURCHASED TO CONVINCE THE BUYER. NOT KNOWING THAT A LOW QUALITY OIL IS BEEN USED FOR A LONG TIME. THAT IS WHY WHEN YOU OBSERVE A CLEAN ENGINE AND START SMOKING BETWEEN 1-7MONTHS OF PURCHASE YOU HAVE FALL VICTIM. ONCE YOUR ENGINE IS GETTING OLD ADOPT SAE 40 BRAND OR 20W 50 1 Like |

domack99:Thanks for your write up. Some questions : 1. How do I recognize a synthetic oil? 2. My car manual says use the oils as seen in the picture, and I use a Mobile 1,any negative effect? 3. What is it about Mobile 1 and next lower grade of Mobile oil that makes it better ? Or expensive? Some questions may crop up in my head later. Thanks. NB : the car is an Opel Zafira 2006 mini MPV

eghuan1: Maintaining a car by changing engine oil is very good maintenance habit but a very very bad habit for the environment. Do you know that used engine oil has no biodegradable way to dispose it off. It has absolutely no use again except to contaminate the soil, kill plants and contaminate underground water. Burning it is damaging the atmosphere from Carbon monoxide to NOX gasses. Less service period is more used engine and more environmental damage. Say an individual uses 20L of lube oil a year which is 5L every 4months, it becomes 30L in a year if you decide to service your vehicle every 2 months. 10L of more destruction to your planet for no reason especially if the recommended service period is not reach. It is advisable to use your oil to the recommended service period, any less is doing more damage to the environment. I encourage drivers to service less. I know a transport company that changes oil for every cross country return trip of their vehicles. Very good for the car but very bad for the environment. Used oil is considered the largest source of oil pollution in the U.S. harbor and waterways, at 385 million gallons per year, mostly from improper disposal.[29] By far, the greatest cause of motor oil pollution in our oceans comes from drains and urban street runoff, much of which is from improper disposal of engine oil.[30] One gallon of used oil can create an eight-acre slick on surface water, threatening fish, waterfowl and other aquatic life.

niggi4life: This is not even full synthetic, I don't think this should be up to 14k though maybe the seller is making extra bucks off you. |
