The Eminem-MGK beef gave me some clarity when it comes to this guy. It's a catch 22. By destroying MGK, Eminem have him a lot of publicity he wouldn't have had. On the other hand, he couldn't very well let MGK go running his mouth. He dropped his diss record, murdered MGK and then ignored him, starving him of the popularity he was getting for his new album. Same thing here.

Dru's already been revealed to be a 2-bit hustler. Replying to him only gives him our audience who wouldn't otherwise know he existed. Diss record was already dropped. Now to sit back and watch him flail.

Seriously?? That's a popular vehicle. Someone must have forgotten to restock. Ordering a few now. Will soon be there (some strikes going on in customs from what GIG tells me)

In that case we would have given a rain check and brought it in.

Exactly my thought!!!!

Suggestion:
Please fix the dollar pricing ish, else prices will keep fluctuating up & down.
I got the Conventional oil at N10,347 as against the N9,490 or N9,855 you stated earlier, now imagine if it was a more expensive item, price difference would have been more.

N10,347 for 5 8 QT of 5w-30 is still a good bargain grin grin grin grin

radautoworks:


Carquest All Season 5w-30 N2,190 per quart, N9,490 for 5 quart jug both in stock in Lagos (quart=liter approximately)
http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CQO&partNumber=CQ620
http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CQO&partNumber=CQ620-5QT

Valvoline, Castrol, Pennzoil, Mobil also can be brought in but not necessary with conventional.


radautoworks:


5W30 is the ONLY recommended oil for this car. I've also put all your other fluids for you below

CARQUEST All Season Motor Oil, 5W-30 N9,855 http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CQO&partNumber=CQ620-5QT

OR

CARQUEST Synthetic Motor Oil, 5W-30 N16,060 http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CQO&partNumber=CQ930-5QT

You can use either but be aware once you start using synthetic oil, it is NOT recommended to go back to conventional.

It shouldn't have fluctuated. We use a flat rate. They owe you the difference. If you're ever told something different from what I said, show them screenshot or ask for manager!

I'm thinking about N1,000 I don't have the delivery rates with me. They can tell you if you call the shop. Numbers are on first post of our main thread.

If you get a regular oil change yes. If you're trying to get the October oil change special that includes 5 quarts, no. Fine print here. One coupon per visit. Specials cannot be combined.

I thought along the same lines as you do - to the point where I took a calculated risk on changing oils (after several years of using oils with the wrong viscosity). Only for me to read a few days ago on liqui moly's site that viscosity isn't important?

JamRock didn't have most things? Did they give a reason? We have in stock thousands of parts. Hard to predict all the parts we would need so this first year we will have a lot of parts that need to be brought in on demand until we fully understand the market. What kind of car do you have?

Why did it take so long? What was the problem? I really need to get home cry

I would go with the engine maker's instructions too. I just find it incredible that a major lubricants player would make such a controversial statement. Virtually all the lubricants marketers recommend conformity with motor manufacturers recommended oil grade quality AND viscosity. This is the first time I'm seeing something like this.
