legalwealth:I was Enjoying your post until you said the bolded. If you have been following up, you would have learnt weather conditions btw 9ja and where the car was produced has little or no effect, car is tested on all conditions, so the fact 9ja is Hot is a plus. Texas and fresco can be hotter than 9ja x2 1 Like |

legalwealth: No other car should use used oil Naija people. So you're going to transfer all the steel shavings from one engine into another car? |

GAZZUZZ: Really? Is it all over and can it be gotten anywhere in Nigeria? How much is 5 litres? Is it advisable I change to this since I've been using Mobil XHP all these while? |

legalwealth: It is not all over. I place orders for product from the states. it is not safe switching to high quality full synthetic engine oil if you have been abusing engine with the wrong engine oil in the past. It carries it's risks like oil shorts, and possible smoke. 1 Like |

legalwealth: I'm too educated to be touching used engine oil, no wonder you guys die like fleas in Nigeria. What you do is send your oil to a laboratory for test - $20 You'll use that to design your oil change timelines. Guys, this is why we go to grammar school - well, some of us sha 1 Like |

GAZZUZZ: Means it is not readily available all over Nigeria which is a turn off. You didn't tell us the price for others to know. I better stick with the so-called oil abuse by you that I've been using for 2 years without issue than doing ultimate search for this your own oil whenever I want to service my engine. |

oyb: Apologies Sir, I really thought you were joking. Yeah, the most dangerous rooms in an American house is the garage and under the kitchen sink (this is where most households keep household cleaning supply which comprises of very dangerous chemicals, some after being mized together). Now, the argument might be that you change your oil so infrequently that it does not matter but as for me any risk that I can avoid I do so within reason. 1 Like |

op, yes it is safe to top up as long as the engine has cooled down a bit (my opinion as it will be unwise to introduce thermal shock to those shiny metals that keep your engine purring like a cat). to the guy who has been using Mobil xhp to "meticulously" maintain his EOD, I hail oo. tomorrow we will see the same car for sale on Nairaland for 1.3 million and advertised as "no issues" when the engine is already on its last legs. to the guy who asked if his engine is okay if it burns through roughly 1 litre per 1000km. your engine is okay. some Toyota cars burn through 1 litre of oil per 1000km as they age and some from factory. reason why your car manufacturer advises you to check your fluids each time you fill up your tank. some people do so every morning. so no cause for alarm but if the oil burning increases, switch to heavier weight oil, if it persists and there is no external leaks, then start saving money for a new engine and consult gazzuzz. op, yes it is safe to top up as long as the engine has cooled down a bit (my opinion as it will be unwise to introduce thermal shock to those shiny metals that keep your engine purring like a cat). to the guy who has been using Mobil xhp to "meticulously" maintain his EOD, I hail oo. tomorrow we will see the same car for sale on Nairaland for 1.3 million and advertised as "no issues" when the engine is already on its last legs. to the guy who asked if his engine is okay if it burns through roughly 1 litre per 1000km. your engine is okay. some Toyota cars burn through 1 litre of oil per 1000km as they age and some from factory. reason why your car manufacturer advises you to check your fluids each time you fill up your tank. some people do so every morning. so no cause for alarm but if the oil burning increases, switch to heavier weight oil, if it persists and there is no external leaks, then start saving money for a new engine and consult gazzuzz. |

9icetoo: Looking at the bolded; you sounded like someone with extreme low level of thinking and a one way traffic person. "Faculty of thinking re low" in my wife's mother tone. How many people are using let alone have access to the recommended engine oil the one Gazzuzz claims to be selling which he even refused to answer my question regarding its price. Call out 100 people using EOD to find out the best and available engine oil recommended for them. Don't forget to also evaluate the extremely scarce engine oil that Gazzuzz is advertising; you can also ask him to genuinely answer my questions or he can as well answer the questions if he is real. |

GAZZUZZ: Lol! Seems you didn't get my tactic. I only used that to challenge you to answer my question on the price of your said synthetic engine which you have been dodging except you have something hidden regarding that. Besides and what are you insinuating? That you are treated like a god of whatever on nairaland does not confirm you to be god of the same whatever in Nigeria. Who knows if you are just doing copy and paste from online to deceive most people! !! 1 Like |
