dru23:Young man, every container, tank, engine that holds fluid (oil) in contact with movable mechanical components must generate sludge or the years, irrespective of the quality of oil. That's why sludge tanks are integral components of engines. Wear and tear occurs in every engine that's what contributes mostly to sludge formation, oil only cools and reduces the we Arabs d tear rate. In my post, I was referring to camry not RangeRover. I don't sell cars, if I will at all in future, it wouldn't be on Nairaland. The less viscous the oil, the more it has the tendency to pull out debris... Yes, that's why I service regularly and warm the vehicle well before removing the oil. Enjoy. |

FestacGirl:Using Google you'll know more about engine oil rating. It has to do with viscosity and temperature. |

WeirdWolf: I see ,even if what u you said was true. Which I highly doubt.. So with your 10kobo oil ,you rather have the sludge to occur in two months than in two years ? Smh bottom line bro use good oil full synethic oil, wheather nay mobil or any brand of oil that has a good track record.. Please don't tell me that you will use 10kobo oil for a brand new car ,well at the end of day please continue using your road side oil. Eventually when your engine starts to act up , that is when we go see people like u asking for advice on how to fix your car ..u will now be at the mercy of mechanic looking for solution to a problem that could have been easily avoided.. Thank you sir and good luck.. I will make sure not to either buy a car from you or advice anyone not to buy from u 1 Like |

dru23: My friend, stop making noise here. Not everyone sells their properties or hawks counterfeit oil to eat. I don't have a problem with you selling fake oil, just don't force it down the throats of others. 1 Like |

WeirdWolf: sadly this is not entirely true. u need to do some research in mineral, semi synthetic and full synthetic oils. some oils will ensure your engine stays sludge free over the course of usage while some have a natural tendency to break down causing sludge. it is also important to note that regular servicing (engine oil and oil filter change) is also necessary to ensure a sludge free engine. also city driving or only weekend driving can also facilitate and/or accelerate the formation of sludge. these reasons above are the major reasons for the inception of full synthetic oils, unlike their brother.. mineral oils which are gotten as a byproduct of refining crude oil, they are manufactured in the lab and basically consists of polymers. also they are equipped with detergent compounds which tend to ensure u have a sludge free environment. having said that, u cannot still decide not to change ur oil because it is synthetic, the duration of the life span is significantly higher than the minerals but after a calculated period of time, they tend to lose their viscosity and start acting like a single weighted oil which is not also too good. sadly dru is right, I hate it when he is right though... he is as arrogant as a peacock having it's beard shaved! the major cause of sludge is not wear and tear of the engine parts, it's actually the break down of the oil(usually mineral) in use.... either due to engine under-utilization (engine doesn't reach operating temp) or due to neglected oil service intervals. now imagine a car bought tokunbo with 200k+ miles WITHOUT SLUDGE due to proper maintenance, when the car arrives Nigeria, they bypass the fans to run direct and delete the thermostat..... engine never reaches operating temperature... as if that's not enough, someone somewhere will then service with Mobil xhp 20w50 with N500 Chinese knock off filter. in less than 2years or 20k. miles in Nigeria, u open that engine..... it'll look like someone was moulding clay inside..... this is why the Honda engines are more rugged.... they can withstand these terrible abuses without breaking a sweat..... sadly Toyota can't.... dunno about Volvo but I'm sure Hyundai and Kia no fit take am too.... Mercedes, Audi and BMW can all take it 4 Likes 1 Share |
