Pics 1 & 2 - 1.6L motor
Pics 3 & 4- 2.0L motor

Update .... So I called my dealer he said that 1.6l is 500k and the USA 2.0 is 150k (2.0liter was 150k naira when naira was at 360) .. 2.0liter is used by other Hyundai cars like Tucson and some other SUV ,which I can't remember. The USA 2.0liter is block iron which is much stronger....

He stated that those engine come from Korea ,Singapore, this is my update so far ,I will need to do my finding before I concluded and I will get back to you on the forum.

For a 2.0l engine that still cost 150k naira from two years till now is very surprising. By Friday I should conclude on my final findings ......... It is not over yet till is over

Oga you didnt buy the car for me, stop showing me manuals of cars made in US. Don't worry, I'm fine.

But stop painting 20W50 bad. The limitation mineral oil Lube has as against synthetic is OXIDATION... get this fact.

The other day I saw when NNPC lubes were painted bad... I wish Abdulrahman saw your post that day... you know more that that prof that handled that project

SMH

Correct.

ascendo:


Further more, most API SL are made with anti sludge additives

Correct again

For my car, Hyundai Tucson 2020 model, for my temperature range...0-50 degrees Celsius, the manufacturer recommends 20W50

ascendo:


Read what it says about hot weather and the prevailing operating temperatures

ascendo:


In all these, remember that cars from USA are American specs... it get why!

The orifices for oil passages are same design. Most engines SA use are from Japan which I know quite well. Most parts in Toyota USA are from DENSO...same Denso whose hqtrs is in Japan.

In all these, the flowability at low temperature is very important. The cars should be able to start even at minus 20 degrees.

There is an equipment we call COLD CRANKING SIMULATOR... Marine lubes we blend here in Naija must pass its test as well as pour point test for -35 degrees C.


My last statement on this thread: I appreciate what you do. We must hustle and all is gonna be fine. But if you do mini importation of lubes into the country, you can advertise your lubes without condemning our 20W50. Who knows, you might get to the extent that you have a technical partnership with the Lube manufacturers abroad, you might establish a Plant here. How will you feel if someone tells you that what you produce is rubbish when you have invested in raw material, equipment and staff to produce the best?

Think about it

Can I forward my banking details to you for instant credit of 10k.
I intentionally left you to confirm the prices yourself.


P.S Those 1.6L engines were built to last forever.

GAZZUZZ:


I will have to agree with you .

Only downside is overheating. The engine was a perfect design, the cooling system was not designed well in a couple of models.

dru23:


1.6liter are not rebuiltiable engine ... I will not used them there is reason why nobody buys them

GAZZUZZ:


You are not a mechanic, not even an apprentice , you do not even patronise proper workshops , so I understand where you are coming from.

Which engine are easy to rebuild block engine or Aluminum engine..

GAZZUZZ:


Hope you have paid the young man.

There are Ceratos and elentras that were bought brand new in 2007 with the 1.6 L Gamma I4 engine, stilI running efficiently. Sold one recently. https://www.nairaland.com/6162310/sold-registered-2009-hyundai-elantra#94640675

Still stock engine, never been rebuilt.

20w50 is not a death sentence if changed frequently.

The 1.6 L Gamma engine came equipped with a timing chain and is maintenance free. The xd20 is designed with a timing belt that requires change every 60-70k miles.

Am sure that is why Dana imports them directly from Korea ....

dru23:


How come this engine keep breaking down, and it seems nobody wants to buy them.. Those engines are made for the African market , they are not as strong as the 2.0liter engine ... when you even compare the fuel economy to the 1.6l or to the almighty Corolla, ..The difference is not that much.... I will rather go for the 2.0liter .....keep And to be Frank with the 2.0liter is almost indestructible too.. This is from experince

GAZZUZZ:


Again you are not a mechanic or an apprentice so I will not respond to you sir.

Bottom line block engine are much stronger ,if it cracks you can easily seal them up than the aluminum

dru23:


Whatapps me and Friday u get ur 10k naira .. I still won't by 1.6liter engine lol .. There is reason why that engine is built for African market o

GAZZUZZ:


A Korean car company makes Korean cars.

Engine is in European specs, UAE specs, Entire Asian specs. I've personally seen them in Kenya, Seychelles, Uganda, Ghana, Cairo South Africa .

The 1.6 liter can be found in almost every country but USA did you bother asking why?

I am not here to educate you, the rest of the world cannot be a dumping ground including your home country.

Gazzuz my guy .. I recall on ur post when someone ask you type of cars for uber .. I think the person mention elantra.. You said Elantra was not strong for uber .. I recall when u use to like elantra for uber ,but now elantra is not ok again.....

These are just a small sample of the entire market.

Every example up there uses a full Aluminum engine . Kindly go read a book

Bros talk true ,naija is dumping the ground ,some of those Koreans cars don't even have airbag standard like the USA version.. This is not fight here, let us have an objective conversation.. The 1.6liter u self can't sell it ,how much u want . The demand for it is not there at all . The Tucson built for naija market is different from Yankee under power and different engine.. Blame the Nigeria government for these , go on jiji u see these cars 2020 almost brand new for 2m ..come on bro u are in ur feelings
