good188: I meant your car manual. Ordinarily, it should be handed over during sales of a car, but that is most times not the case. You can get it online, it'll help you in knowing your car and maintaining it properly. That's if you read and adhere to it though. |

obitryce:How can u ask him to use a 5w30 when the minimum temperature in Nigeria is 20. For Nigeria condition, a 20w50 is recommended but ur API RATING is old. U can get an sm or sn oil. 1 Like |

snofay: tell is what we don't know what "Nigeria condition dyu mean? i have lived in climes where temp gets to 40° in summer and they don't change their oil to 20w50 cos of that so,what exactly is ur point 3 Likes |

snofay:please who gives recommendation for 20w50,it definitely kazeem and Mufu cos there are illiterates ,Toyota will never give such ; Dubai that is hotter than Nigeria has car manufacturer factory and I am yet to see Dubai spec car that will recommend 20w50 later shorten the life span of your engine !!It actually a plus for kazeem sha if your engine start smoking soon sha at least it will keep than relevant till 2030 !! The only reason use of 20w50 is prevalent in nigeria is ignorance and poverty !!! 5 Likes 1 Share |

autologic:Do u know the meaning of the code rating, if u do den u should be flexible with it. A manufacturer recommendation is due to the environment dat d car is produced to work in and since most cars are produced for European and American consumption den obviously the majority of the cars will carry a 5w30 recommendation. But imagine an oil dat has its maximum temperature limit to be 30 and u are driving at a harsh temperature of 35, what will happen to the viscosity of the oil? What effect will it have on ur engine? |
Re: Is This Engine Oil Good To Service My Corolla by snofay(m): 4:32pm On Oct 04, 2017 |
diportivo:D fact that dey don't does not mean u shouldn't. Since u are literate, u should be liberal with your thinking. Oil use is based on d Min winter temperature and Max summer temperature of the region ur car is used. 3 Likes |

snofay:U need to read about synthetic oil technology to appreciate the fact that ,it is special formulated chemical composition that can tolerate a wide extreme high temperate without reaching breakpoints unlike mineral oil that vary widely with temperature . Beside don't confuse ambient temperature with engine temperature !!! Majority of the wear and tear that happen on the engine occur at start up .Fresh start up of the car in the morning will require a lighter oil that can flow as quickly to lubricate the topmost part of the engine .few second of delays due to the use of heavier oil will spell doom to the engine in the long run after a long period of accumulated engine starting !!! 9 Likes 1 Share |

Your fine with that oil except you intend visiting Jos in the cold season. Even at that, 20w50 is fine. From the attached picture below, you can see that 20w50 is effect from -7°C through the range and above 100°C There is an exception, some of the newer engines might not tolerate 20w50. Your best bet is to take a look at your user manual

Yes it is. Forte Oil is very good. If you are in doubt. You can check this website. About good engine oils is well detailed there. http://motorfixer.com/reliable-suggestions-on-car-engine-oils/ |

pinson: The forte oil is in your link is not the one OP uses. That one is synthetic and of course more expensive. |

Our people will never learn. I was on the phone with a friend and he told me that his 2010 Honda Pilot needs a new engine. This will be his second engine change. He has been using 20W50 engine oil. I tried to tell him to use the recommended oil for his ride and he said it was too expensive. Maybe his car's engine is cheaper than the engine oil. Smh. 7 Likes |
Re: Is This Engine Oil Good To Service My Corolla by sultaan(m): 6:29pm On Oct 07, 2017 |
ironheart: The same reason we always advise against 20w50 is the same reason you won't put a gear oil in your engine instead of a 5w 30 you use a 20w 50 which is almost twice as heavy as a 30 weight oil. If you feel a 50 weight oil is good then why not use a 90 weight oil which is almost twice as heavy as a 50 weigh oil

20W50 is a terrible idea for Corolla 2009. Use 05W30 in Nigeria.If not use recommended 05W20. Just 3months into first oil change after I bought the car,I noticed lower performance and rattle noise on cold startup. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Is This Engine Oil Good To Service My Corolla by Kingdemu: 10:54am On Sep 01, 2020 |
snofay:Stop confusing yourself Sir. The viscosity of an engine oil signifies the weight of that oil. The lower number is the oil's cold start performance weight and the number after W describes how thick (weight) the oil is at the engine's normal operating temperature. It has nothing to do with outside temperature or the environmental temperature. 5W30 does not mean it should be used in places with temperature ranging from 5°C to 30°C. No, it means that the viscosity of the engine oil at cold start is 5 and at the normal operating temperature of the engine it is 30. Viscosity means the state of being thick, sticky, and semi-fluid in consistency, due to internal friction of an engine. Let's be guided pls. 7 Likes 1 Share |
