You are lucky I couldn't find the receipt to that poo of tools.. But if you tempt me ,I will go back to the store and dig it up and also snap the picture of the store... don't tempt me .. I can get real petty at times.. We speak #factsonly# .. By the way, buy from radauto and advanced Auto parts .. Changing the autoparts industry in lekki and Nigeria

Also, go back and read our intro thread. Not changing parts industry. Changing REPAIR industry. Parts is just a means to that end not our main hustle or die like someone who's in love with me wink

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.

I also have a tokunbo too that got clear yesterday... it is an 07 runs perfect.. Yours might have high milage.. If you looking for a mechanic, try ladipo.. There are volvo mechanics around.. #facts only# radauto buy from them.. They fix cars too advanced Auto parts. Changing parts industry in lekki and beyond..

These are your poor man's parts lol wink

Only reason AutoZone wins is because they do not include independently owned stores i.e. Carquests in Advance's count.

We are the largest parts network in America and carry almost all parts brands including your beloved mobil 1 which is why I warned you that I could drive you out of the market if you pissed me off enough.

Now be gone! Your entertainment value for the day is maxed out and you now bore me.

It does not change the fact it's still low quality parts store.. #if you know, you know # like I said before #Autozone, advance Auto parts # same poo ,same market demographic, same target audience, both offer same service.. Whether you take a poo in gold toilet bowl o ,a toilet is a toilet.. #radauto buy from them change auto parts industry in Lekki and beyond #

I have been pissing you long enough now. Why don't you do it .. The reason is because advanced Auto parts do sell their own oil engine coolant etc .. It will not make any logical sense to sell other brands than the brands that supply for you.. The main objective for your business is push your own products out there to masses .. Doing otherwise will be counter productive - business 101. U selling Mobil 1 products is giving them free advertising, which am sure they will be more than happy not to object to .. For example... A customer of mine needed a Toyota ATF W .. I refer him to your store.. He called the store and he was told that you guys don't carry Toyota products, but they can sell him your store brand.. But he didn't want your store brand. So on a business stand point it does not make any sense at all ..and depending on the franchise they might have rules and regulations to only sell store brand only.. #facts only # buy from Radauto... changing autoparts industry in lekki and beyond.. #facts only # advanced Auto parts 6k stores nationwide # poor man's parts store #

When will you get tired of being wrong?

We sell Carquest because it's as good but cheaper and Nigerians are struggling.

We also sell Carquest because it's our brand but if you notice the inventory is there and we would be kind of stupid not to sell it wouldn't we? ROFL

We also sell Carquest because we don't NEED to sell Mobil like you do.

Most important, if we sold it, what would people like you do?

Careful what you wish for wink

Have been wishing for a long time.. Bring down the price of Mobil 1 oil especially extended performance.. Listern if you can bring it down to 14k naira per 5liters it will be great, same price as the mobil esp been sold in the Nigeria market.. You will actually save me money in the long run, so that I don't have to import anymore..
Let's break it down.. So you buy the Mobil 1 5quarts at a discount for $15 , how much would you now sell it to the end users in the Nigerian market.. Keep in mind you have to load them into a container and pay duties.. Depending how you load them, you might be able to avoid paying duties on same of them. And mind you advance auto parts or autozones sell those oils for at least $30 .. So your math does not end up to a profit... please bring them down at a cheap cost for us .. I will be grateful if u can do that.. #radauto buy from them Mobil 1 for 12k 5quarts# the new NNPC for all of your engine oil # facts only #

I gave you a 'job' a while ago - you still haven't told me what you think of the project 200 link on ATF drain & refill I posted much earlier. I want to do this drain and refill but my mechanic doesn't have a non-intrusive method for getting rid of the ATF left in the torque converter and the cooler lines.
