Boss, your boy no tell me this o. And nah from your place I dey buy Mobil one since I bought the car.


The former Oyinbo uses Conventional oil from the sticker of his last service...


But this is my second Mobil 1.


Before buying Mobil 1, it seems the oil was leaking somewhere, but after Mobil 1 in Nigeria. Zero leakage.


This is the second 5,000 miles. And Motor done go Abuja go home since March 3 times without coughing...

I sell cars...in case you would like to buy from me. Thereafter I will educate you on the type of oil your car needs. Although is written on the engine oil cap...because some people cannot see their car exact engine oil specification and where is seen, is always expensive...so Nigerians will make due with what is available . What Gazzuz is saying in essence is that if you start with panadol, don't change later to parasitamol ...in your engine case the moment you start using syntactic oil , don't change to mineral oil....is writing boldly on the body of the oil gallon so you won't have issues seeing it.

Sythentic are better and more expensive than mineral because of the special additives they contain .. But when compared to their functions... sythentic are quite cheaper...

It's not a problem if they've been using the RIGHT WEIGHT mineral oil. Only if wrong weight.
