pstfrancis: After 20w50 it's the most common grade of oil. We sell it as well as sooperrescue. Dru23 only sells synthetic I think. You can email support@radautoworks.com or request it here if you want it from us https://www.mrtransmissionmilexnigeria.com/parts-request |

Been using Hardex Gold 5w 30 on my 3.0L V6 (1mz-Fe) Xv30 toyota Camry for 1yr,6months plus and counting. It has proven to be excellent so far, my oil change interval is 5k miles or 4months - whichever comes first. My engine has maintained its original remarkable quiet operation so far with zero issues. I initially used hardex 5w 30 in 2016 on a J35 V6 (3.5L) powered Acura MDX which I later sold to someone who still uses the brand till this day with no issue whatsoever. I am expecting a 2GR FSE powered Gs 350 soon and will probably switch to our local mobil 5w 30 non synthetic when that one arrives because of complaints about oil consumption when synthetics are used on that particular engine. 1 Like |

Good day house I bought a Honda Accord 2004 just last month and serviced with Total quartz 5000 (20w50) exactly what the previous owner uses. The recommended oil is 5w20 as inscribed on the cap. Question: is it possible I ask my Kazeem to uncouple the engine, drain/flush the engine with whatsoever substance, recouple and then fill with the recommended engine oil please? He's also not sure of the brand of transmission oil used as at last fill, what do I do if I need refill? Thanks all |
Re: What Type Of Engine Oil Do You Use In Your Car And How Much Is It? by ZIMDRILL(m): 5:33pm On Oct 01, 2020 |
sirleke: what do you mean by UNCOUPLE ? do you mean to remove the engine from the body ? and that job for oil change ? thats crazy all that needed is to drive the car till its on operating temperature which is 90 degrees or middle point on the temp gauge, then pour engine flush let it idle to 15mins then drain and put new oil |

ZIMDRILL:Good. but I will be very cautious about using any flush for 15 minutes. Abro is 3 minutes and destroys the metal in the engine. |

Re: What Type Of Engine Oil Do You Use In Your Car And How Much Is It? by ZIMDRILL(m): 10:37pm On Oct 02, 2020 |
sooperrescue: remember its a 4 stage process 1st drive until the car reaches operating temperature aka 90 degree (middle point of the temperature gauage ) 2 Switch off the car and pour the engine flush 3 Start the car and let it idle between 10-15 minutes "DONT NOT DRIVE OR REV" 4 Switch off the car and drain the oil and put fresh oil 2 Likes |

[quote author=ZIMDRILL post=94563531] i wouldnt know about nigerian products but 3 mins that sounds as if the product as petrol in it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbXnv1XtTLI&ab_channel=ThatCarChannel[/quote You are very correct but the one I use is not the local type. Jensen's engine flush is a 1 litre Engine flush that requires 5 minutes to clean up and it's a once and for all process and you are required to use the right oil after. But some cars are better left to their devises as I once had a situation where the sludge in a car was it's protection. Immediately we flushed the engine, the oil pump was blocked and the engine knocked. For those types of engines, the best way forward is to strip it open and clean out the sludge. The way forward is preventive maintenance. I know for sure that even if you use the conventional oil, service every 3 months or 3000 miles. There was a guy that was always coming over with his Sienna every 2 weeks for oil change. In 2 weeks, he has covered 3500 miles as a transporter whenever he comes, the engine is like brand new. Other motorists were surprised that he was using Q5000 and the engine is like brand new. The major reason for transporters high vehicles failures is because they don't follow the service menu. If you have a car being used for transport, the gear oil should be changed at every 10k miles or there will be transmission failure. All the Siennas used as transport had the failed gear as what made them discard the vehicles . Preventive maintenance is the best remedy for cheaper vehicle maintenance. |
