Pearl1910:
Is it possible u may have not even needed this top up in the first place if the recommended oil was used from day one?

I agree with this your config, its situational and it serves the current condition of your car but let's not give others the impression that its unwise or there is no need to use the recommended oil in a car.

I know that if the car was abused by the previous user, there's no need to start using recommended oil, just continue with the mineral oil. Also if for some reason, the car starts to short oil in between service times, its advised you use a thicker oil so as to reduce the shortage...be that as it may, that engine is serving its last days.

Therefore, for the sake of others reading this thread the best practice is to use the recommended oils for your engine, gear etc, follow service protocols and other maintainance requirements for your car to work optimally and last longest.

May God bless our hustle.

That is what coz the confusion .. I don't know who got it confuse me or the deeded guy ..my own is that if ur car dey short oil .. U are on ur own and we can agree using manufacture grade will not work ......

But to me it seems that the deeded guy was saying 20w50 was ok regardless if the car has issues or not ...

But even if your car dey short isn't better to find out by it is shorting oil

The average american car is 8 years old. How many Nigerians can keep a car 8 years without changing engine?

Slickleo:
All dis argument na wa, engine is burning oil because it is developing a fault wich u knw so 20w50 surviving more Dan 5w30 on oil burning engine doesn't make it beta only dat it is thinker.

Ask ur self[b] if u buy a direct tokunbo of that same car or brand new will u use 20ow50 or 5w30[/b]

U didn't learn much either .. Coz if u did ..make I stop

dru23:
That one way traffic has taken me places .. What about u

dru23:
U no go school ;.

dru23:
Below is my trip to car shows I go .. I had took so many pictures of cars at this show .. I lost a lot of them and I have plenty of videos from this car show ......

You stated that what they teach in classroom is different from the real world etc.. Well I rather take advice from the car manufacture themselves that build this beautiful machines ...... I don't want to insult your intelligence .but u are not well qualified on the matter even meself is not qualified on the matter .. So listern to people that are

I even pass through the engine oil factory in Japan . I lost those pictures too..

northbird:
Did you read @ all

If it's a tokunbo car, in Nigeria parlance, who is referring to an oyinbo driving it. I mean they also abuse engines too.

Let me spell it out for you. A tokunbo big daddy that was bought some days earlier.

Dude brought it to the mech workshop, car was having issues. No number plates, means it has not been registered...

Car was smoking. Even the humming was not too cool. And he bought it direct.

Even a blind man knows this vehicle came straight from the port.

[color=royalblue]You actually never tried to solve the problem of consuming oil.

You just reached out for a cheaper and good option

600 years of Solomon's wisdom for you [/color]

[color=royalblue]Lol

There's nothing wrong with using Mineral oils sir.

But you're making it look like it has some advantage over the Synthetic oil.

As a guy that drives, has driven on Uber, and deals on parts, the mineral has no advantage over the Synthetic

But it still is okay bro [/color]

dru23:
You can show ur friends bro.. Am good .........i seek advice from the pros sir .......it is like me seeking medical advice from a pilot .....

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Not trying to delve into you and Dru's talk, but using Synthetic oil is more cost efficient than the mineral oil.

You don't need to top up every 1000 miles with a Synthetic oil

Did you consider that too?

Anyway, I'm enjoying the debate bro [/color]

dru23:
Bros ur are wasting ur talent in Nigeria o.. It seems to me u know better than the car manufacture engineers .. You need to be on the advisory board ... Toyota Motor , ford Motors and Hyundai will be calling u shortly to seek engineering advice .... Maybe u can also advice them on the type of car to build for 2023...

dru23:
Coz I talk the talk and walk the walk ......u do the same

Felicity0001:
I tire ooh (to the bold)

People need to understand this is business and not pleasure or it's relatives. Periodic maintenance of vehicles is the most important aspect in automobiles especially when it comes to transportation. So it will be more prudent to apply the best and minimal cost practices because there is a huge difference btw transportation and personal usage.

dru23:
your car on the way to Dubai vs real life ....shows us this ur car make we see Bros

dru23:
Just like the engine oil u use for ur car

northbird:
Baba this is very true.

Today I saw camry big daddy tokunbo, that was smoking. No number plate yet. I'm like oyinbo sef they misuse car too .

dru23:
The fear of replacing engine is the reason why Yankee folks dey maintain engine and follow manufacture advice ..but for naija na the opposite

dru23:
Do u ever ask yourself why we import so many car engine into Nigeria.. The rate car engine is been imported into the country, is very alarming..............


The demand for engine outweighs the supply... think about ..........

davit:
The difference is clearer than 7up bro. Nothing gives peace of mind like using the recommended oil spec.

samobaba4u:
Na him get him belle and him say him no hungry wetin again? Let d next user battle it when the time comes now átóńbùrú he said he had saved enough money from oil more that the amount to buy another engine. That's profit maximization now

dru23:
New means different things to different people.. My naija neighbor car has finally packed up .. This my neighbor will wash the car every morning, the car is well taken care of physically... but na 20w50 engine oil crew he be ...


The engine finally gave up o ... he now sold it .. It is now a new car to the next sucker ........

So car running like new is very relative to different people .. This is why car engine is a big market in Nigeria... Nigerias change engine like the change lane on the road

dru23:
Those old man that drive those beat up passat for yellow cab .. Those cabs that the body is all banged up and their car is tilted to 1 side with over size tires ...

Them too will tell you that their car is doing fine .....your reasoning is not much different from them......as long as the car moves takes them to point A to point B the car runs perfect according to them .....

Crvrider:
I guess its different strokes for different folks. Staying put has always been my mode of operation and it works well for me.

dru23:
Me I avoid them based on the following...

2. The ones that believe using water instead of coolant.


4. The 20w50 oil crew.. The ones that will tell you it is ok to use as long as you change oil every 2k to 3K miles .


8. The ones that will drawn you a graph of ambient tempt . and explain to you that W stands for winter . And we have no winter in Nigeria and there is no need to use the recommended 5w30 .. That 15w30 is what we should be using
