GAZZUZZ: Then you should have just told me the price all these while and not stylishly end up giving me the link also for everyone. I asked for the price and not the link; tell me who is now going against the rule of the house. |

legalwealth: It's a choice, I chose not to give you price, same way if you show up and tell me your profile name, I will not sell the oil to you. Choice. |

GAZZUZZ: This has nothing to do with it. We are talking about availability of the oil that you are selling like what is the guarantee that I will see it to use when next I want to service my car. Like the other person said on your thread that he had to use another oil when he didn't see that to buy. Won't that have bad effect on his car compared to consistently using XHP that I've been using for mine for so long without issue, which is being kicked against for whatever reason known to you all though I long know and read the oil spec written on the engine but it could not be readily found in Nigeria. My point is and has been that it is better to be using the same quality oil that is always readily available and accessible anywhere than the other way round. Have you ever ask mobil their reason of not officially selling the said oil in Nigeria since they are the maker; we need to be applying common sense in whatever though. Is it that we Nigerians cannot afford to buy the oil or what did they tell you or what do you think could be the reason? |

Re: Is It Safe To Top-up Engine Oil When The Level Has Gone Low? by legalwealth(m): 11:43pm On Mar 03, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ: Lol! Did I ever tell you I want to change from Mobil XHP that I've using which is working for me let alone coming to you that I want to buy the oil from you. Even if for whatever reason that I decide to be using synthetic engine oil for my next car, I know how to ship them myself directly from USA with the cheapest rate, affordable yet reliable shipping route. |

GAZZUZZ: Common sense should have also told you that there are ways of reducing cost of shipping items in the importation brouhaha. I don't want to say much about myself when it to dealing with such; it is obvious you don't know a pinch about me. You can go back to my earlier posts regarding buying and shipping Catalyst converter and co myself from USA. For your information, I also imported the customized backlight myself from USA which should let you have idea that shipping anything from USA is not a problem to me because I know its code. |

GAZZUZZ: Lol! That might be right but it is because most Nigerians though not all lack maintenance culture of which I'm very loaded with maintenance culture not only on cars but everything that I have. Aside the oil which you are only defending for your own selfish reasons, scroll to the previous page to see my 2 years EOD and tell me if I lack maintenance culture. Yes! I used and I'm using mobil XHP for my car since 2 years and I have peace of mind. Gone are the days when engine that can be replaced even with better one is CAR, the body is now and as been confirmed to be the CAR. Even if the engine of the car decides to request for new one after consistently using Mobil XHP oil for 2 years without any Bleep up, I will gladly change it even to better one. |

legalwealth: why should I? You still do not know the cost of purchase, shoping and handling of 1 carton of oil. Bla bla bla catalyst and back light, but you do not know the basic requirements a modern day vehicle requires. Your excuse of availability shows your inability to be resourceful. Sadly your engine is already shorting oil on 20w50, you can imagine what will happen when you pour the right oil weight. In 2 years you single handedly ruined a vehicle that was perfect since 2005 1 Like |

Seun that added the modify button knows what he is doing. Answer all the questions that I've thrown at you; don't use style to dodge them my friend. |

legalwealth: one of the reasons I am still in business. Please continue to use 20w50 and killing your engine in 5,000miles. |

GAZZUZZ: Looking at the bolded, it is a very big shame that this is coming from a supposed god of mechanic on nairaland. Even if the engine of any car knocks out does not mean a vehicle is ruined. What happened to changing of engine even to the one better than the one that came with it? As I've said earlier, gone are the days when engine is the car, the body is now the car. Even if the engine gets ruined, it will be replaced. It is only when a body is rust to the core or it gets totally damaged/deformed by fatal accident that we can call it ruined. I've just borrowed you common sense regarding that which you do not know. 1 Like |

Re: Is It Safe To Top-up Engine Oil When The Level Has Gone Low? by legalwealth(m): 12:18am On Mar 04, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ: Shuu! My ever working common sense will tell me that it is too heavy and also, OEM engines are available in Nigeria because it is not something that can be faked or made inferior or made substandard like they do to most spare parts coming into Nigeria. |

legalwealth: It is a shame that your engine needs a replacement after 2years of use in nigeria, simply because you cannot go on Julia, or konga to buy the right oils. It is a shame that with all your so called importation knowledge, you do not know how to import engine oil for your car. It is a shame that you feel replacing your engine every 2 years is normal. It is a shame that you are bragging about it. It is good a mechanic will collect money from you to do all this. it is a shame that you will not know the mileage of the replacement engine you will put into your car when the time comes. It is a shame that it might short oil too, because the last user was like you. 2 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: Lol! Stop dragging this issue backward. Are you still talking about the Mobil kind of oil that is not readily available in Nigeria? And still bent on attacking someone that has been consistently using Mobil XHP for 2 years? For your information, my engine is still working perfectly and it will never need replacement in the next 2 years. I can give you the chance to come over for its evaluation and I'm very sure that you will attest to it that it is still very sound even more than most so-called tokunbos let alone most Nigeria used that have used 2 years like mine. |

legalwealth: your engine cannot travel from lagos to borno (4000km) and back without needing an oil top up. I am stating this based on your own posts. my motorcycle in the workshop has a cleaner bill of health. You know nothing about maintaining a modern day car. 1 Like |

legalwealth: The is the result of abuse. let me educate you a bit. If low oil level cause your check engine light to trigger it means your oil level was so low that it caused a drop in oil pressure, for a honda, immediately that happens engine switches to limp mode. Now let's go deeper. Between the upper and lower marks on your oil dip stick is exactly 1 liter of oil. Now here's what you didn't want to tell us. before your engine can loose oil pressure you would need a minimum of 2-2.5liters of oil in the oil pan when engine is running. Total engine oil capacity of your engine is roughly 5liters of oil. My submissions, your engine shorts over 2-3liters of oil presently. 2 Likes |
