All my oil are imports ...and it does especially the Extended Performance ...people actually say Mobil 1 is much better than Castrol... I can't debate on that but in the USA Mobil seems to be more popular... That could be due to marketing o , I dont know for sure...

The reason is that [b]Exxon[/b]Mobil boosts the brand. All of us knows who Exxon is...

Mobil 1 oil has very good reviews ,so not only the oil is good among the customers, but marketing too helps.. You can market a product and spend the most money.. If the product is bad nobody go buy am at all ..... So it is a double edge sword

Lmfao
It's the picture
Notice effect of the steam in the second picture
My car is not dead
Argue wth your keyboard
And once the temperature gets to the normal gauge
Nothing comes out
I know my car
I trust my car
And nothing you say will change anything
To each his own
Cheers


Lol.

Bros, if your car is steaming this visibly, the tailpipe will be dropping water.

When you do a cold start and see this, put your finger on the tail pipe entrance. There will be moisture there.

If na soot, well..... cheesy cheesy

And the steam doesn't smell like smoke. grin grin grin

Don't get me wrong o, its your motor and you can/should do whatever you like.

Nobody is asking you to change. It's too late for you to change sef.


It's the misleading other people that's not nice

This smoke is not bluish... it's a COLD START and the engine is yet to attain the operational temperature.

If you notice the temperature gauge for cars that still have thermostats...the temperature rises and gets to a place that looks like the middle of the gauge. At that point, if it tries to move up, the thermostats opens and the engine cooling fan comes on till the thermostat closes it again as the coolant is cooled down... the engine temperature maintains a range for optimum performance.

I rest my case...

You're wise

Any weight is possible in dino or syn oil. It all depends on what the manufacturer wants to blend based on customer feedback.

Bros, Castrol Edge Professional 5W30 is what COSCHARIS uses on all these Rolls Royce, BMW, FORD, RANGE ROVER... it's a perfect fit.

Why going for advanced synthetic that you don't need just for the sake of using?

The good news is that conventional drain intervals for Castrol Edge Professional is 8-10,000kms.

I've said it before, this attack on 20W50 is somehow.

We all have to individually read our manuals and make a decision.

Exactly.. But the synthetic oil sellers will not let us hear word..

Dru's former fleet manager sludged up his engines by not replacing oil as at when due.. Since then, he has been all over nairaland claiming 20w-50 damaged his engines and his miracle mobil 1 saved him grin grin

I see.

Mobil1 is a good oil no doubt t but it's not the end of it all.

In my car racing circle it's looked down upon. You have class leading oils like Lucas, Motul and others.

I use M1 because it's cheap and available at Walmart but I wouldn't 't go on a full throated defense of it because I know there are certainly better boutique oils.

I wouldn't put STP filter or any Castrol oil in my enemies lawnmower.

I use K&N filters as appropriate. There's another brand ion filter I use form Pep Boys that is a ProLine.

People should just read their manuals, buy locally available oil and use a filter with good anti drain back valve. Decide on a good OCI based on the conditions.
