Thanks, but I will prefer to go to reputable Fueling stations to get one rather than contacting someone or going to other stores to avoid adultreated oil

You seem to know the answer to your question.. than why bother us with question that you have answer to ........


Go to nearest fuel station and get it .. simple as 123 and they are over 10,000 fuel station you can go to and get what you need .....

If it is still shorten oil.. it means the engine is on its last leg.. this is why we encourage people to always follow owners manual at all times..

. Even if person wan use thicker oil, 10w30 to 10w40 would have been more appropriate ......... When you are experiencing now is the vast result of using 20w50. The affect might not be right away ,but with due time it will show its face .......


You have to now sit down and make some choices.. you either sell off the car or continue using it.. but once smoke start coming from tail pipe. It will be hard to sell the car ...

Those people you mentioned run out of Nigeria when they want to do certain things. They keep their children away from Nigeria. They leave Nigeria when they want to have a good time. So, what is your point?

The guy was not making sense. When he stated that some poor leaving abroad are more comfortable than rich people in Nigeria...

He should come and define to me his definition of rich Nigeria... That is my point..

immortalcrown:
This is a proof that money is not everything. Money can be made in Nigeria. But there are levels of comfort that money can never guarantee in Nigeria. Some poor people abroad are more comfortable than some rich people in Nigeria.[/b]

can you explain definition of rich in Nigeria.. it can be subjective..

If na Dangote, Davido, burnaboy rich etc .. I don't think those rich type will envy anyone leaving abroad. I don't know how poor people abroad will leave more comfortable than them ..

Some people abroad are leaving more comfortable than rich people in Nigeria.. your definition of rich seems to be subjective...

😳😳😳



Sure, as long as you smile straight to the bank. You must care so much about 20W50 users to provide them with an oil weight that you confessed "offers the same protection".

Anyway, your business, your problem. Happy sales!

Spoke to my customers that own Mobil 1 station in Lagos .They said make I load am bring am come. They said people they ask about it... Since Mobil 1 Nigeria no dey make am. He figured Mobil 1 USA no get am ..

So hopefully we can take Total energy market shares that is the only reliable source thats makes it . We can take it from them.

Na so business dey .. were there is a demand they will be always a supply

We move...... We will not sell to any nairaland customers self. It will be off limits... Am going to make it exclusive only to my whole sales Mobil customers...


I feel very under appreciated on this forum...... I talk am with my full chest..

Again I don't support 20w50 especially if the manufacturer does not call for it . Since fellow Nigerians don't wan hear word not to use It... Wetin make I do ?

aieromon:
Honestly, this shalaye is not necessary.

How can you recommend this oil to a 20w50 user? The same users you have demonised on this forum?

Don't get me wrong.. I still don't support support the use 20w50 especially if it is not recommended by the manufacturer..........


If 20w50 users switch over to 15w50 they can save money. While 15w50 is good for 10k miles, and 20w50 users will need to change every 2,500k...... 15w50 will save you at least 20k Naira


Current prize of 20w50 = 24k Naira most change every 2,500k


Current price 15w50 67k change every 10k miles

Currant price of. 15w0= 67k Naira

calculation:
On this forum, any talk concerning 20W50 always received talk down from you due to bad effect on modern engine. Why do you want to promote this viscosity of oil 15W50? To me, all your talk is to promote sale of what you sell. To your question, DON'T bring it because that is not what you preach.

15w50 rans better at cold temperature than 20w50. But 15w50 and 20w50 rans equally at higher temperature.... 15w50 offers the same protection as 20w50 ,but you save money and time by using 15w50

20w50 will need to change more often at every 3k miles or less. While 15w50 can be change at every 10k miles.. I will advise every 7k


For the 20w50 fantastics . This is for you .. we are here to save you money and time....


Compare the cost and decide.....

Sludge can be remov3d only after about 7 engine flushes b4 the oil turns gold on oil drain.hoe many persons can afford 7 oil filters,7 engine flush cans and about 6 litres of oil to waste.mosy would run to ringing which is th3 end.mechanics wont torque the engine valve springs and locks to factory,thereby creating more problems such as over heating,chain or belt skipping,etc.

We should encourage people to always use genuine engine oil follow owners manual at all times


An engine flush can be beneficial for maintaining a healthy engine, but it's not universally recommended, especially for older, high-mileage engines. Engine flushes can help remove sludge and deposits, potentially improving performance, fuel efficiency, and overall engine life. However, in older engines, the flush might dislodge existing sludge, potentially blocking oil passages or exposing worn seals.

Pcv valve my foot.his problem is stuck piston rings in the piston grooves,due to oul burning and of cos carbon build up

The Camry is a 4-cylinder well known factory defect. There is nothing that can save that engine fixing the piston or not,the car na my money pit regardless of rebuilt......


Since the 4 cylinder are factory defect the best is to either avoid them at all costs, and if you have to use them go for heavier oil like 10w30 or 10w40 but not 20w50.

charliechyke:
Sorry I meant I use 5w-30 synthetic(Hardex). It’s a V4 engine not V6

Bro sorry, those 4-cylinder engine from 2006 to 2010 are factory defects engine. And there is nothing you can do to fix it.

Only option is to manage by using thicker oil. Depending on how u want do am. Either sell it or use thicker oil until you get money to buy another car..

The truth of the matter is we don't know how the previous owner maintained the car. Open the engine bay and. Check for sludge. Pray sludge no dey .

Those 4-cylinder are money pits

charliechyke:
It’s a 2AR-Fe and I used 5w-30(Semi synthetic)

Previous owner abuse the car and reason the owner sold the car. Those v6 no dey spoil like the 4-cylinder..

charliechyke:
It’s a 2AR-Fe and I used 5w-30(Semi synthetic)

Than na v6 engine you get . Very reliable and strong and fuel economy is good .


If there are no leaks on ground, the oil is burning from somewhere . Am sure the previous owner was using 20w50. Have a mechanic open up the engine bay for sludge.


Also check the pcv valves. Have a mechanic check. It might need replacement. Most mechanic don't know how to check. Mostly over look when looking for oil leak ...

I can't do everything here bro . So take time Google and search for Pc valve of your car. So if it is dirty and have it replaced. Better to change and get brand new ..

If it is clogged or dirty it will be hard for engine to breath ..


And if all fails sell the car, replacement engine or use thicker oil. Thicker oil just helps prolong the inevitable ...

Jaysharp:
Thanks boss, i really appreciate your suggestions.

I was able to get across the previous user, and like you've said 20W 50 has been the oil used in the car. I'll revert back to the oil been used and check from there. Also, there's no smoke from the tail pipe yet as i constantly check it as i drive.

Lastly boss,
I noticed after driving a while once I step on brake at traffic light, the engine shakes/vibrates, same thing when I climb speed bump and at times this makes the engine shut down.

My kazeem said engine seats are bad, and its the culprit. Can this be possible? Cos I'm tired of their trial and error method...

Thank boss
Much respect.

Your mechanic might be rite. It could be the engine seat.

charliechyke:
Good morning all

Please I drive a Camry 2010 with 2AR-Fe engine. I got it Nigerian use and now I notice it burns oil. I approximately use 1 liter in 3weeks.

Please ogas in the house, what’s do you advice?

Are you sure it is not 2AZ -Fe . Because they are know to burn oil from 2006 to 2010 . Factory defects.. double check.....

Worse comes to worse u have to use 20w50 until you start see blue smoke from tail pipe . Better yet sell it

Jaysharp:
Good morning bosses
I noticed my car honda DC 2006 shorts oil, I noticed this after the first oil change when the car was bought earlier this year.

I used hardex 5W 20, for the first service after the car was bought, after a while I noticed the oil level reduced, I thought I bought a fake oil, I drain the oil out and used mobil 2000 but the issue still persists.

Is it that the engine select oil? Anyone with solution please help!!!!

Thank you

That car has been abused by the previous owner more than likely using 20w50. It is too thick for the engine, by you reverting to the manufacturer recommended 5w20 is too late ,due to weak oil seal by 20w50...


You have few options here .......


1. Start using 20w50 and observe from there. If you notice blue smoke coming from the tail pipe, the engine is on its last leg...

2. Sell the car and count your losses

3. Go look for a tokunbo engine Grade A if you can find one. And if you do make sure you use the recommended oil 5w20.

House please is the any demand for 15w50. Am thinking of bringing it in
