It is synthetic but not fully synthetic like the first oil you posted but bros, you weybe guru for this matter still dey ask this kind question?

SmartchoicesNG:

Lol speak of what you know... And stop cutting corners when buying items for your customers. I have proof otherwise!!! Because I use it!

NB
Unless you have a scientific evidence be very careful with outlandish statements @handy.

Cuttting corners?? Really?? Using Castrol edge extended performance or Mobil 1 extended performance is counted as cutting corners...


Stopped using Rymax in 2014, when after 3 months oil is all gluey and stuff.



Take up the challenge....


PS: that you use it doesn't make it good.

GAZZUZZ:


I poured it in the engine of a Nairalander, who is also a moderator in 1 section and when vehicle was due for oil change it was short by almost 3liters.

Make I talk small. The importers of rymco are my close friends. Ee used their products way back 2014 until we discoverrd it was not suitable for the kind of vehicles we were involved in. On a cloder look, the only rymco that id ideal for my kind of cars is rymco appolo and that is never going to be available in the countty. Not all synthetic are synthetics, they are packaging. Therr are also too many mobil anx castrol in the market that are not the real thing. Mobil Nigeria told me that their oils sold in the country is to make oil change affordable. My opinion about these marketing companies is that they still dont know that 90% of our vehicles comes from the US and we should be having good oils from there. I once went to Eterna oil to tell them to stop selling their 5 w20 profesdionel because a lot of people are hurting. They said no one has complained and since I am nit their Pro, make i waka pass. Ps pardon the small typo errors, i dey under car dey type

princetom1:
So, GAZZUZZ and LeJeun3, timifakay,

Its just a marketing strategy, right?

I went through some online forums and looks like thst oil is mineral oil. But our naija dealers are greedy, they buy those oils for cheap and then sell for the price of synthetic because it is Toyota branded. Not saying it is a bad oil but when they sell for the price of synthetic and the poor customer that buys it stretches his car to 7,500km before oil change (thinking it is synthetic) then that is bad.

SmartchoicesNG:

My experience is different. I have been using it and enjoying it. My cars are not American cars! By the way do Americans even know how to make cars?

I think that he is a harsh driver. Except for the very late models where Toyota has redesigned their engine rings, many Toyotas driven harshly and especially at high speeds will exhibit high oil consumption. It's not the oil's issue, it's Toyota's. People don't notice it because they hardly drive at top speeds.

I have personally noticed this with camry hybrid 2007, Sienna 2003, sienna 2005 and then other user's testimonies.

Information on this flaw can be found online and it's especially for the 2az engines.

On a camry hybrid I used both mobil 1 and total quartz 9000, they were dying up only when driven aggressively.

To add to this, oils mostly not labeled synthetic or synthetic blend are mineral oils.

SmartchoicesNG:

That you bought the fake doesn't make it bad bro. My testimonies are a complete opposite of your assertions or claims. I understand that the margins on oils easily available in Nigeria are low.... Compared with the ones you mentioned above

princetom1:


Lol. See question. Which model year sir? How long miles u run before u change oil?
Note that no one has called it a bad oil here

LeJeun3:


If you use Mobil XHP on an engine and change every 2 months and use Mobil 1 ESP and change it every 5months you are more likely to strike a balance....


Oils not stated as 'Synthetic' or 'Synthetic blends' are clearly "Mineral" oils....

LeJeun3:


That's it the oil is fake..... argue with your eyes closed.

And some people will be counting mileage!

GAZZUZZ:



Mileage is extremely important

you cannot be going from lagos to jos every weekend for 3months on any engine oil in the market.

ya engine will die!

thebigkendo:


lol bros that Toyota Motor oil seller in Port harcourt will soon come for you oh

asumo12:



And some people will be counting mileage!

GAZZUZZ:
Why is this brand of oil labelled full synthetic, and the other not labelled as such.

SmartchoicesNG:

I utterly disagree with you on this. This is simple science. Do basic laboratory tests on both oils and give us a informed opinion.
Thanks.
Meanwhile this is certified. 5W 20, 5W 30, 5W 40. And very affordable!!!
Fully synthetic oils

GAZZUZZ:

awiriwa:


This kind of post coming from a so called chief engineer of Nairaland is too shameful. So oil short by 3 litres was caused by the type of oil!
Your dishonesty is irredeemable.

I rest my case

GAZZUZZ:


your attack is very unnescssarry. you should read more
your profile only became active as soon as this thread was opened. you are an alternate profile for an oil seller.

awiriwa:
Let's not get carried away by labels. Let's focus on performance. One this Toyota Oil is at par with Mobil-1 in the performance. Any Toyota owner here can testify about the peculiar coolness it brings to their engines. Use the mobil-1 in your Toyota and notice the very high and uncomfortable rev it initially produces. This occurs everytime you start the car.
Use the Toyota Oil, the car engine becomes silent. No initial high rev at startup. Very distinct from the mobil-1. There is something special about the Toyota Oil. I'm pretty sure that's why the contents and nature are not publicly displayed

Another pointer is the pricing. This thing is priced at between 3 - 3,500 per Litre and 4,500 per Litre for the 0w20. That is clearly not mineral oil pricing

GAZZUZZ:
same way you attacked oil seller here.

I see you singing praises.

There's no competition for oil sales. and no one has monopoly of the type of oil to sell. I could decide to start selling toyota oils today and buy a container load.
