babajeje123:I bought mine 1 year ago(Tokumbo) the fuel consumption is good. I fuel with 3500 naira weekly my house to my office is like 30km plus other movements. I service it once in 3 months with #4500. I can't say much about the parts because so far I have not changed any part & I have not done repairs except tires, painting & servicing but I think the parts are much available. 1 Like 1 Share |

realdee44:if the cost of servicing is 4,500 then u are using the wrong oil to service your car ,your engine will not be adequately lubricated and protected which can cause wear and tear in the long run. The manufacturer recommended oil for your car is 5w30 . The advantage of using the recommended oil is endless. apart from giving your engine the right protection ,u have better fuel mileage ,prevent sludge build up,better lubrication,contain some additives that give your engine thorough cleaning .etc 1 Like |

honmusa:Don't be offended honmusa. Sometimes, one is skeptical about those that discredit your knowledge thinking that theirs is the best, especially when they are not dishing out something worthwhile. Can you please enlighten me more about the 5w30 brand of engine oil? |
Re: Toyota Matrix by colossus2: 4:54pm On Dec 29, 2015 |
realdee44:He is telling you the truth. A genuine Toyota 5w30 is sold for 10k. I believe you are using those Mobil they sell for 3500, oil filter 500, workmanship 500 = 4500. Please change your oil type, oil filter and also change that mechanic. You might be enjoying it now, but when it happens....enough said. Cheers!!! 1 Like |

colossus2:That it is expensive doesn't mean its the best. I made enquiry before I started using it. I service every 3months & I know someone that uses oil of 6k he uses 2011 honda accord & he nornally service after 6months. I have 4 friends that use this same Matrix & that is the same oil they have been using for over 3 years & their engine sounds good. The guy using 2011 honda accord was using this same oil for his EOD that he used for 5years b4 changing to 2011 accord. So I just didn't stand up & started using that oil, I did my findings first. 2 Likes |

People and oil. Those who think they know about engine oil and cars don't know anything most of the time. |

realdee44:Cartalk section is all about maintaining your car the right way. Kindly switch to manufacturer's recommended oil; hopefully not too much damage has been done to your engine. Engine may tolerate such abuse, but don't even try it with your tranny.... Will simply pack up sooner than you expect |

babajeje123:My advice to you b4 I leave is be careful with the information you get here some ppl are scammers here. When you buy your car find out from ppl using same car & ask questions, you can take it to madilas its a company that deals with repair & servicing of toyota vehicles they will tell you the best oil to use. |

realdee44: Madam, with the way you're all about the scammer claim, have you been scammed by the gentle man trying to educate and enlighten you? Hope you know if he decides to take up this case against you, you won't love the outcome? Next time pls refrain from using uncomplimentary remarks in public forum on anonymous people, you can't tell who they are and what they can do. Just an advice to you sha (hoping you won't call me brash or durogatory names too). As for your car, pls its your car, your money, and doesn't concern us about what you do with it. Keep up with the NGN4,500 oil change every 3months. Cheers! 4 Likes |

honmusa:its funny how you talk. You think you know it all just because you sell engine oil. You happen to be the ignorant one here, you don't even know who you are talking to. Sorry to disappiont you I have my owner's manual & I have read it over & over & I did my findings very well. I truly don't know what your problem is with me & my car. I only gave the op what I know has been working for me & others its left for you to give him your own point. This is a media were we give our views I gave mine you gave yours too there was no need for you to quote me in the first place. I may not no everything about car but I have the right to say my own experience. Plz just leave me alone & give your point to the op. |

Re: Toyota Matrix by honmusa(m): 8:30pm On Dec 30, 2015 |
babajeje123:5w30 is not a brand of any oil ,,it is a manufacturer way of categorizing the specification of thickness (viscosity ) required for the engine oil to use for your car to run optimally .viscosity of oil can be 5w20,5w3010w30 ,20w50 etc Oil brands are the different major oil manufacturer producing the various viscosity of oil eg Mobil,Total,Oando etc Choosing the required oil to use for your car will require you to get the viscosity first from your owners manual or from your oil cap, then you can then seek expert opinion,online or forums about the reputable brands that provide the needed viscosity. 5w30 oil viscosity is now the norms and recommended grade for cars from around 1998-2007 due to the nature and compactness of the engine materials To learn further ,check http://www.upmpg.com/tech_articles/motoroil_viscosity/ |

honmusa:you that have so much sense how comes you don't know that everyone has his/her view in a particular topic & also has right to express her view especially when the person speaks from 1-5 years of experience. There was no point for you to quote me in the first place all you needed to do was drop your view & back it up with experience. |
