calm down on this oil thing

one step at a time....let him sort oil his bearings first

if he changes his 20w50 at 2k km then think it's fair....aslong as the oil and filter are genuine

my elder brother ran his 08 accord for 7 years with 20w50 and nothing happened.....engine was never opened till he sold it

the oga dem for here av said only a complete overhaul will make the use of 5w30 feasible.....what if car owner cant afford that for now?

Where's that Accord now

Dipo, I no be oil merchant oo. My reason is that those kia and hyundai engines are quite fragile.
They will not take the abuse a Honda or Toyota engine will tolerate. I've been to their dealership and stated it here. The number of them waiting for engine transplant is harrowing.
The build qualities are not the same.
Of course he should sort out his bearing problems first.
Remember, repeating an action and expecting a different outcome is folly.
That engine is not cheap, oil is cheap.

My Camry 2004 has been serviced with Total Quartz 5000 20w50 and the odometer is over 200k miles. The engine has never been opened and the exhaust drops water.

What matters is frequency of servicing. I don't joke with my car servicing. Atimes I do it in month interval if I traveled with the car much.
200k Nigerian miles as in you bought it brand new?
Or 200k but with only 30k or 40k Nigerian miles?
They are two different things.
We don't cover that many miles per year in Nigeria. Very few people do. Where the road dey?
If it works for you sha, all the best.

Bought it Tokumbo in 2013 with an odometer of about 90k miles. It's 7 yrs used in Nigeria now.

Have done Abuja to Anambra severally with it to and fro.

Toyota can handle anything thrown at them

I would suggest a mineral based synthetic Quartz 7000 instead of the mineral 5000.
That's what I used for my hyundai

You are loosing oil pressure.

Most likely place is from the bearings.

Measure the crankshaft again, cut to next size and replace all bearings if not within spec.


Good evening, I just got 2003 Lexus ES 300. Please what’s the correct oil I should use on my V6 , 6 cylinder engine. ?
Thanks in anticipation
