Happy Easter all!!
Please help. I ve been using Mobile 1 oil (5w30) to service my car ( Toyota Camry tiny light) but this time around I can't afford the price (28k from jumia).
Which type of engine oil (5w30) that is pocket friendly can I use to service my car?

but mobile 1 sells for 4k per 1L bottle, your engine shouldn't utilize more than 5L at each service interval nah. where did you get 28k for oil from?

I utilize 5w40 in my sienna and I use 5L for 6months or 8000km which ever comes first. op retrace ur step

When last was your vehicle serviced? You have 2 choices....

1 - Keep managing it till raba sets
2 - Park vehicle and hop on public transport

NB: I would have added a 3rd option, but it might be too cruel (sell the car). Imagine this option is invisible to your eyes.......
