Good day everyone!
Well my question is regarding the quartz 9000 5w40 sold at Total filling stations. Is it full synthetic? And how good is the oil?

Thanks!

That car is a bad buy. I've own one before and I did not enjoy it at all. If you remember, that particular Car was much on our Roads about 10 years ago. But today, you hardly see any on the Road. This simply means that, all the Rovers that were in Nigeria some years back, have all broke down. While some are right off.

You're holding me by the balls. Anyway it is synthetic oil, Api Sn-cf, suitable for BMW ll04 and older Peugeot cars.Please note that Toyota is not recommended to use Q9000. Peugeot refused to recommend it for their 2011 new generation cars . But Total now has 5w30 ineos which is also SN-CF but it is suitable for Peugeot cars and Renault too. But the good news is that Total are introducing into the market two life changing oils. The higher version of the 5w30 and 0w20 Q9000 future. Subtle pressure is making them to improve on their oil. Before the end of the year, these two oils will be sold locally thus saving cars that requires 0w20 to heave a sigh of relief.
What model is that your vehicle again?

I plan on using it on my Lexus es330 on my next oil change. I have been using Lexus motor oil 5w40 full synthetic recommended by Lexus ME. But its not readily available where i stay, so i am just looking for any other 5w40 grade oil that i can use on my Es330. Apart from the total 5w40 does anyone recommend anything else?

Does Lexus recommend 5w40? It is 5w30 Api sl. Get Motul from infinity tyres in Apapa. If you check your engine oil cover, you will see the star burst sign of gasoline engine oil only. Total q9000 is petrol and diesel spec.

This is what was recommended to me by Lexus. I don't stay in Lagos and i am trying to avoid all these road side parts dealers by all means. So if something like total or mobil or even havoline can be used then yeah. Because it is easily accessible..

And one more thing, PETROL and GASOLINE are actually the SAME thing. Its just that Americans call it gasoline and the British call it petrol. smiley

As you can see, it is Api Sm and not SM-CF. It is gasoline or petrol engine. But the market that uses this particular oil is from Asia and Middle East. Your Lexus is an American market spec and on your oil cap, the es330 requires 5w30 api SL. I can give you the number of the sellers.

Stop being ignorant, Lexus actually never recommended 5W40 for their ES sedans. What was recommended was 5W30 fully synthetic oil.

That oil you're pouring isn't from Lexus USA or Lexus Japan. Its some random stuff you're pouring into your engine. Good luck!

Nothing to do with being ignorant! I lived in the middle east and i owned an ls430, 5w40 was always used by the lexus dealership when it came to an oil change. Unless you want to tell me that all the lexus branches in the middle east don't know what they are doing?!

Infact if you look at a Toyota camry imported form the middle east, then you look a another Camry imported from the u.s with the same engine, you will always find that the owners manual reccomends different grades of oil. (very common). We have a 1GRFE Toyota prado that actually has 20w50 recommended in the owners manual. You will find other Toyotas with the same 1GRFE but u.s specs that will only recommend 5w30! Its all to do with the climate!

Vehicles that come from u.s and canada are usually limited to 5w30 (most of the time). If you go to middleast 20w50 is actually common! In some countries in the middle east temperatures exceed 50 degrees Celsius. Non the less where i stay in currently in nigeria temperatures can exceed 46 degrees Celsius in the summer.

Thats why most synthetics in the middle east are 5w40. Lexus middle east uses this oil at their dealerships. When i asked a lexus sales rep what kind of viscosity i should use on my es330 they quickly helped me check the climatic conditions and advised on 5w30 but 5w40 if available.

When i called lexus u.s and asked what grade of oil i should use. They said 5w30. And then i told the sales rep that the car is not in the u.s, and in the actual location where i am at, temperatures can easily soar to 45-46. Guess what she told me? She said that i shouldn't have exported the car out of the u.s. The car was built to be used in the u.s only. Even the Canadian es330 variants are different from the u.s.

Almost 95% of the cars on Nigerian roads are not even meant to be driven in Nigeria, and this is mainly based on the climatic conditions, poor roads etc. My advice to everyone is that you should stick to OEM specifications all the time! But look at the climatic conditions first.

If you say you will stick to 5w30 in temperatures of 50 degrees plus. Your engine will start knocking on your door pretty soon!

I think you should read this before concluding on the issue of ignorance cool:

Mobil 1 5w30. I saw another mobil 1 5w30 but for high mileage vehicles. I really don't know whether that will make a difference.
Thanks

High mileage oil is design for cars that are 75k miles and up.. This is by Mobil 1 oil .. I use them on my personal cars and uber cars. The have more additives to protect high miles cars. The older your engine is the more the seals are weaken and wear and tear will increase.. You need better oil to reduce the unwanted fractions in your engine... go for high miles
