Hmmmmm.....But the manufacturer's spec for the Cerato is either 5w-20 or 5w-30 oil...the problem with using the wrong oil is plain and simple, oil starvation to tightly machined parts within your engine which the wrong oil spec won't get to due to it's viscosity..the flow to those areas wud be significantly affected and there wud be increase in friction, wear, heat generation and engine not working at optimum performance. It pays to use the right oil spec... might be expensive but the gains outweighs the cost. helpishere: |

I saw the receipt for the service. It was 64000 with injector service, carburettor cleaner to clean the nozzles, unless the nozzles for the 2014 kia Cerato are not electronic, I believe that the should have used electronic cleaner instead of carburettor cleaner. They are protecting the injectors while destroying the engine |

As a car owner, you need to be knowledgeable about your car and then shine your eye �� while they change your oil. If you think you're too busy to spend a few minutes with the mechanic you might pay a heavy price later. |

Re: Wrong Engine Oil Spec Epidemic. by kingreign(m): 7:07am On Dec 25, 2017 |
obekediamondfuto:2009 corolla. The reason why it went in for repairs was ABS wheel speed cable and ball joints only. But the so called "reputable" company didn't even fix it. They went to start listing other things which wasn't even bad in the car. They claimed the bodywork, fuel system, interior etc of the car was bad. The irony is the car was bought brand new from them...

Imagine. The air filter is double the price of the engine oil. That is Elizade. They did the same for someone. 2.5m for toyota corolla and the car came out worse. Ulphostery is even higher. That price will fix 4 corolla's roofs. They need to be exposed. Lets picket the franchised dealers and the lubricant companies this new year. Enough is enough. My friend that owns a 2010 range sport said if his mechanic present a bill for him, he will burn the garage. That he has never spent 10% of that bill on his car. God is in control. They will all be exposed. We need more of these fraudulent bills. I also know about Weststar garages and how they fleece their customers. |

helpishere: 5k for the engine oil. Definitely a 20W50. Ac filter (cabin air filter) for 16k. Wonderful. |

bravolad:this is why engines will be used for 10yrs abroad and still in mint condition when they are brought here. But 2yrs after use in Nigeria, they are looking at an engine change. Some will say all sorts of rubbish. 1 Like |
