Lol .... Funny guy that you are ..just because a few of them had issues with oil burn now means that all of them issues.. We live in two different world bro .. Before I take advice from you or anybody else from forum.. I will rather cut my wrist .. I dey Yankee bro a Nissan dealership is about 20 minutes away from me .. I will rather talk to them about the G35 issues than a person from a third world country... the issues u have with them are self conflicted. Nissan can't risk having issues with $40k car.. It is minor issues that dealership would have resolved.. Make I waka pass as you said .. Me I dey Yankee, if I need any more information, I will drive rite to the dealership to make enquiries, which of course u can't do .. $40k car will be having oil burn and Nissan will let the poo ride like.. Lol

Dude. Is this your first trip abroad because you won't let us rest! All your posts "I dey Yankee". Some of us live in multiple countries at once and we don't feel the need to scream every other sentence SMH. What does "I dey Yankee" have to do with this conversation? Yes, factory is 5w so stick to that.

But which Castrol exactly?

I know its 5W30 but which variant? Edge, Magnatec ?

I'm just trying to get all my facts in place.

Thanks

And there it is lol. I knew the mobil 1 shiel wasn't far behind. Lol. I don't blame you. Sell what you've got LMAO. Back to 4llerbuntu, buy 5w30 in any good brand and you'll be fine. If your car is high mileage, you could also get a high mileage formula (not the same thing as extended mileage)

Volvo recommends castrol.. Always follow manufacture recommendation

Quick correction. You should be using 10w30 in this climate. Look at last paragraph in image as well as my original spec details.

What I gave you was specs for YOUR VIN number not some generalized table. You do not have to use Castrol. We carry that too but you do not need it. The person advising you is well documented on Nairaland as constantly having car issues and seeking help. Coming from actual techs as well as past Volvo owners not someone just trying to sell some oil.

I'm a tad bit confused.

Just did an oil change a few days ago with Castrol 5W30........

For 10W30 which brand would you direct me to?

Preferably Synthetic, and easy to source.





Meanwhile since I did the oil change I've noticed a bit of leaking. Drops more like. looks like transmission oil which I also changed at the same time I did the engine oil change


I don't have any lights on and the explanation I got was that after a change it was normal to see little leaks like that for a week before it would stop, probably too much oil was poured in......

Does that make sense? Should I be worried?

A quote from Jayz " Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?".
Obviously you either read to understand or just read and ignore the facts.. My car issues especially my uber cars came from lack of management and proper maintenance.. Now how did come about to start importing Mobil 1 oil .. Now this was due to the fact that my cars on uber were developing sludge . I had to ring one or two of my cars .. When my cars were developing sludge .. I had to get to the root of the matter .. I found out that the previous manager was buying cheap, mineral oil and he was not following the manufacture advice.. He was using 20w20 or some crap instead of 5w30 that was recommended by the manufacture.. And as business man I decided to look for solutions.. So I started importing my own engine oil to use and to sell.. I started with castrol oil ,which was doing ok, but I now found out that people prefer Mobil 1 oil especially uber drivers and partners. So I than started using and selling Mobil 1 .. Now uber drivers do at least 2k miles a month of driving. Meaning that they have to constantly change there oil every 3k miles to 5k miles depending on the oil they are using.. Next was Mobil 1 oil Extended performance good for 15k miles oil change, and Fram oil filters good for 15k miles oil change. This was what I was able to settle on and some uber partners agreed and I was able to build a customer Base.. All these issues I narrated on the forum. So that people will learn and avoid the same mistakes that I had..
Now for you to say that am always having car issues without you telling the whole truth or analysing the issues behind it . To me is very misleading and ignorant of a professional like you.. Did u also mention that how I brought my car to your shop and after I paid about 3k to 5k of diagnosis test ,I was given a bill of over 170k naira.. And I was able to save about 100k by bringing those parts myself.. Or you forget to mention that.. I documented that on the forum. Would u like me to remind you again.. Did you forget to mention advanced Auto parts that is parent company of yours.. Mainly sell low quality parts in Yankee and at times it is better to get certain tokunbo parts at ladipo than buy from you guys. So please let us not fight, because I will over do it ,this is just not just rap music like Jayz said .. I will expose the dirty truth of advance auto parts.. Don't let us go there. We can try to coexist in the same market, without spreading hate and lies...

Trump, why are you getting mad? It's obvious you only skim and not read. All I did was direct people to YOUR OWN THREADS written in YOUR OWN WORDS. All the the stuff you claim is in those threads is it not? I even included your comparisons thread on us did I not? So what's the problem and what lie did I tell?


I give you props for getting it right this time that we are Advance Auto parts not AutoZone. There is a reason why we have over 6,000 stores and I welcome anyone to Google us

Now don't let me expose you to the folks that don't know you .. Autozone or Advance Auto parts ... same thing nothing different. These parts are strategically located at the poorest parts of the USA .. Let's call it a poor man's parts store .. They do offer Some OEM parts and at the same time offer unlimited warranty on most of their parts.. And the reason is those unlimited warranty parts are produce at a very cheap cost, so in essence you can always go back to them and get new parts unlimited.. Now if those parts are Grade A parts, there is no way in hell they will offer you unlimited warranty.. It cost more money to get better quality materials.. Example of the low quality parts will be displayed below.. Now the sockets tools that I display below is a great example .. I got it at advanced Auto parts for about $8.00 ,please take a look at the cautionary warning circle.. There is nothing special about advanced Auto parts at all poor man parts store .. It is the same parts store that the road side mechanics in USA go to .. The dealers in USA don't go near them at all .. When I freshly bought my new Nissan Altima 2005 Ser at dealership.. I dare not use advanced Auto parts.. I usually go to the dealer and have it fix . Or better yet worse comes to worse, I buy the parts from the dealership and than take it to the road side mechanic.. So ladies and gentleman let's us speak facts only.. The more you look the less you see #factsonly #

Now young man ,Google has always been your friend.. The reason why the manufacture will recommend castrol 5w30 is that 5w30 castrol has enough additives that no matter what the climate weather you are in, that particular castrol 5w30 will perform to the task .. That is why Volvo recommends Castrol for all of its car .. Now if your car has been using the wrong oil from day one ,than chances are the damaged has been done. The purpose of you using the correct oil is to prolong and enhance your engine for best performance, and not fix anything that has already been damaged by the wrong use of oil .. Same thing goes for gear oil or proper word for it transmission fluid. Same model cars will specifically tell you to use the manufacture gear oil ,and failing to do so will damage your transmission and void any warranty you might have had #factsonly#

#radauto sells poor man parts # buy from her ..she is changing the autoparts market in Nigeria

4llerbuntu:





I'm not that clueless.

The car is a tòkunbó. I decided to service it before using it, and thought there's nothing wrong with getting practical advice.

Unless whoever used it abroad abused it, I think it is still in good condition.

I did use Castrol 5W30 for the oil change, however nothing says If there's a room to improve I shouldn't take it

I'm seeking advice so that I can prolong its life in my hands is all.

radautoworks:

.

Who did your transmission oil change and why? Get it to a good shop to be checked for leaks.

Can your shop handle it? Lots of shops thumb nose at Volvo.
