Ultimately you’ll need to do what you think is best for you but for me it’s just sheer insanity to be this nauseous about imported oil.

As long as the oil meets the spec from the manufacturer then I really don’t care about the source. Like I said I have adjusted my OCI to be much shorter due to the extreme conditions that I operate my vehicles in over here.

Now, the caveat emptor, if you have a Ferrari, Lamborghini, and other vehicles with strict specs then sure import, not the 5 gallon but the drums if you can.


When I read of guys on here all frazzled about import oil to use in Camry, Accord, I just laugh.

But to each his own.

eherbal:
what about the downside sir? fuel consumption, engine sound,engine wear,engine response etc

TRYGO:
Hmmm, Mogaji2 . Emmm, so you want to kill people that import foreign oil into the country abi Hmmm, Mogaji2 . Emmm, so you want to kill people that import foreign oil into the country abi? Just joking though.

EgunMogaji2:


As long as the oil meets the manufacturers specs and ratings then I’m good.

Oil is not to be used to deaden a noisy engine that needs repairs.

Most Nigerians will get horrible mpg based on the way most drive like unleashed baboons in a banana store.

If most adjust their driving style to be more gentlemanly I am certain that mpg will increase.

Eddee:


Yes synthetic to mineral. Engine is at almost 400k km. And already I top a quartz on average every 3,500 km with the synthetic high mileage Mobil 1 oil I've been using. My brother, as for higher fuel consumption, what could possibly go wrong? I'm not bothered about those minute details (it's a Benz, 19-21 litres per 100km city driving. 14-16 litres per 100 km Highway driving).
As for sludge, I'll change the mineral oil every 2 months or 3,000 km. I'm certain to reach 3000km every 6 weeks, and besides shorter commutes are worse than the long distance movement I embark on a weekly basis since it takes the oil time to warm up. As for engine noise, this is a bulletproof M112 engine, it's dirt cheap and they don't die that easily... Sadly Mercedes Benz doesn't build them like this anymore.

Please don't fall down o.

My v6 engine is burning oil at a rate of 1 litre per 3,500 kms. I'm thinking of ditching the Mobil 1 extended performance for an oil weight that is heavier. I'm leaning heavily towards the forte oil option (will carry out changes every 2 months or 3000km whichever comes first) - Odometer is on the high side currently

9icetoo:

That's minimal. Why not try 10w40? It's still synthetic and shouldn't burn as fast.

Eddee:


Good suggestion. Let me read up on it, cheers!
