Point of correction; it is 5w-20 written on a cover of the engine and not 5w-30 that you said which I knew from the day I bought the car because I went through the manual that came with it.. Aside that, stressfully using so-called recommended engine oil is an illusion; Mobil XHP can be used instead with good maintenance most especially on vital parts like catalytic converter, 02 sensor and co; that is what I've been trying to tell you people.

I can't stop shaking my head while looking at the comments of some immatured or let me call them blocked-brain individuals here who seem not to have been well trained and still publicly displaying it.

I chose to ignore them by not quoting them because the wise ones have long time said it that silence is always the best answer for such people.

And you chose to ignore the effects of the XHP on the engine? I hope you know there are people using your car in Nigeria and they have 'stressfully' been using the recommended oil. That is how much they love their engine sir.

According to him,good maintenance culture will convert 20W-50 to 5W-20. I still do not understand what bearing the viscuosity of the oil has to do with Cat converter and O2 sensor.

Everyone shouldn't get confused on this issue.

Mobil Oil Nigeria Plc will officially be here any moment to clear the ground that using Mobil XHP engine oil won't damage let alone knock engine over the time if used consistently to service car in as much other things like catalytic converter, 02 sensors etc are always checked working fine and check engine light is not always left on for long.

I've consistently used Mobil XHP engine oil for my Honda accord EOD 05 for 2 years with good maintenance culture and the engine has never failed to start for once let alone be stranded for once. The engine is still very sound and sharp even more than that of most Tokunbos of the same car.

I just finished speaking with them on their line 01-2801600 copied from https://www.nigeriagalleria.com/Galleria_Finance/Nigeria_Company_Profiles/Oil_and_Gas/Mobil_Oil_Nigeria_Plc.html and anyone can call them to ask questions and as well get more enlightened regarding this. Thanks



If Mobil can actually prove this then I will cease to be a demeanor!

If I may ask, what sort of maintenance activities do you carry out on catalytic converter and O2 sensors?

I've been busy and I greet you congrats indeed!

Hope you took your time to unselfishly told them the possible implication of the sudden changing of engine oil from the previous one that was being used.

Silence is the best answer for your type because it won't make sense I quote all your updates to give you your doze/size.

It will look like dropping to the level of your type of person talking/acting like a spoil brat/kid! !!

No need of waiting for the thief since that is the only thing your fish brain could bring from the internet to drop here, just take
the saw and cut the catalytic converter away from your car by yourself that is even if you have one.

Don't forget to as well remove the 02 sensor... also don't bother changing any of the two when they are due for change. I wonder when you people will stop displaying stupidity online.

I didn't have too grin

They all read of your experience.

cars were mostly new toks cars, fresh from foreign countries.

The smart ones got the right oils.

the smart and wealthy proactive ones got the right oils plus an extra set of oils for next service.

Keep up the good work, you are good for business. wink

Since you have selective reading and understanding ability which made you ignore the more or less maintenance free conclusion...

if u know u don't have legal maintenance culture and u hardly import parts from Yankee when the same parts can be sourced from oyingbo and ladipo, u also don't service your catalytic converter and service ur o2 sensor say "aye"

these set of people are said to be " Demeanors"

r u one?

A big shout out to legalwealth and the Mobil xhp Nig team. Also a big shout out to those that sell parts @ oyingbo; God bless ur hussle, we'll continue to patronize u, luvinghubby please one Honda engine will be sourced from u before independence.

Also a big caution to the guy that sells agbor weed, we see the mighty works of thy hands in the life of legalwealth, please stop adding ugu leaf.... its dangerous and can mess with one's mental stability.

Also a big thank you to the team that tried to educate this one blockhead, now u see that argument....... not everyone can be taught anyways we appreciate ur genuine and heartfelt efforts..... thank you

the biggest shout out goes to legal wealth, thank you for showing us that some problems require a different manner of approach, education cannot solve everything.... sometimes pills and prayers are necessary.

to the teachers out there, cane can't fix all those children.... some of them need a different approach

thank you for ur time

wait first, HRH Gazzuzz, the spotlight is on u, u have shown great confidence and ur unrelenting efforts have shown how resilient u are. legalwealth owes u one origin.
