Is this total oil good for 1998 to 2003 Toyota Camry, price it #12k this morning at Total filling station

Please guru advise, I use 98 camry though

Use qtz 5000 it is cheaper 9000 is for bigger car

You for kukuma tell op make him buy red oil, since that is even way cheaper than Quartz 5000.

Op use the Quartz 9000, it has the recommended oil weight for your car 5w30 and am sure it's rating will also protect your engine. I hope the camry is a tokunbo vehicle not a Nigerian used ooo.

In addition, the difference between the two is that quartz 5000 is part synthetic, while quartz 9000 is full synthetic, so I think you are better off with quartz 9000.

Even if its tokunbo, its being used in Nigeria.

It may be a calamity to buy a Nigerian used camry that has been on 20w50 and start using 5w30.

I don't want to talk too much and go into the dynamics of physics and chemistry so as not to be called an ITK or known it all.

Your solution is very simple and would only cost you about 18k now buy
Total Quartz 9000 for 12k
Filter 2 pieces 2k
Your normal 20w50 oil shouldn't be more than 4k

Now service your car with the total, if you notice smoke on starting engine and continues while engine is running or you check the dip stick after 2 weeks and notice Guage is at the low indicator please drain the total sharp sharp and fill with your normal 20w50 oil and change filter too

Double wahala for deady body

@ jossytech, please which of their service stations did you find and inquire about the total quarts 9000?

It's two months now

I see. I've looked in total service station at onigbongbo,Ikeja(Lagos)was suprised to know they don't have it,neither do they have the 'elf' variant.

If it's in osun state,it should also be in Lagos.

Whats the make of your car and year?

Ok

Been looking for this oil and can't find it. The oil on Total website does not exist in Nigeria. Op, are you sure that the oil on their website is the same that you bought?

BUT THE MOBIL VARIANT IS AVAILABLE @14K

That is true but the 5w30 ESP has its limits and it is the only oil in the local market for new generation of Peugeot cars. Total has failed the Nigerian motorists with their outdated oils and the deception is very obvious on their Nigerian website where you see lubricants that are not available being bandied as sold locally. But I am curious because of the interaction I had with the MD and wanted to be sure if he has began the implementation of what I wrote him but finding it in Osun and not Lagos makes the story not reliable. Even in Ikeja, the 5w40 is no longer available. Either they are clearing old stock for the new oils is the suspense that I am having now or ........ I tire.

I eventually use Mobil 1 esp, only got there n saw 0w-40 which I think is fake, so I run

There's 5W 30... energy conserving oil. Mobil 1

You mean the USA Mobil 1 5w30 or the ones sold locally. As for the 0w40, it is not fake but we have been unable to fathom which vehicle is 0w40 recommended for and if that weight is ideal for our environment. I know that hondas and Toyotas recommends 0w20 and I don't think that we can use the 0w40 in its place. If Total now brings in their C oils and their future oils, then our vehicles will breathe well. If you notice the label on the gallon, it states full synthetic while q9000 5w40 was synthetic blend that even peugeot ruled it out for use on their new cars since 2012. Op can you show the actual gallon you bought in Osun?

Pls can u explain more. We need to be well informed

The Total Q9000 5w30 futures that the OP bought in Osun is not available in the country. The highest lubricant from the Total stable, the Q9000 5w40 is not recommended for Peugeot cars from 2012 because it is not suitable for it. PAN recommends only Mobil 1 esp 5w30 as the oil recommended for Peugeot new generation cars. In France, you will be surprised to know that Classic oil has a synthetic 5w30 C oils suitable for Peugeot cars and here we are saddled with SAE 40 which according to API is obsolete. You will be surprisedalso to know that Q5000 which is 20w50 API SL here, has a 5w30 SN full synthetic being sold in France. These unwholesome practices have destroyed a lot of engines because the oils from a reputable international brand is being sold to Nigerians in a deceptive manner.
I believe that since Total have realised that this deception has been exposed, they want to right the wrong by bringing the same lubricants being sold in other countries to Nigeria. You will be shocked to know that Total has Dexron V1 transmission fluid and even CVT in other markets but here they sell fluide 11d which is meant for vehicles made before 1980.
Beware of what you put in your vehicle.

well, whichever you feel like using between the two, it all depends on your choice. But, I have been using quartz 5000 joined with ABRO Oil treatment for my 98 model camry v6 for years now, and the car is serving well even with good fuel economy. But then, qaurtz 9000 is better.

How often is the service duration, and is there sludge in your engine? Sludge is the major reason why good oil is recommended because sludge destroys the engine, poor fuel economy

That one I got at Mobil@#14500 only noticed vehicle is more silent, less fuel consumption and heat is reduce, it's btw 6-8k miles or 8 to 12 months which one that come first

Here data detail if the bought oil

https://www.mobil.com/english-us/passenger-vehicle-lube/pds/glxxmobil-1-esp-formula-5w30

This oil is the oil that Pan recommended for peugeot cars and not Total oil.

@ suooperescue, ur comment is noted, it's thus serve me afte bullshit crap of 20w50 of total oil

I prefer this anyway

But did you really buy that Total 5W30 in Osun or it was 5w40? The mobil 1 esp is a very good oil and they (mobil) quickly brought it in to save their image after the disaster called 0w40
