I called your rep and she said 5w30 is now 25k. Any promo code for us honourable members of this thread? grin
Meself can no longer afford it for my uber cars .. Exchange rate is very high now ......so I have a new alternative to Mobil 1 called Super tech ..........and I will make it more affordable than Mobil 1 ....

So for now if u can afford it, buy the Mobil for 25k and henceforth u know that you will be using super tech that saves u money ......


We concluded a deal with the company so I will be loading super tech this week and will land around early July are things been equal ...

Good morning guys.
I am new here and i need your help please.
I just got a 2006 ml500 and i need to service the car, though the oil that came with it still ok (kind of)
But then which oil would you recommend i use for first servicing
1. Mobil 1
2. Valvoline
3. Liquimoly
4. penzoil
5. Aldinoil
6. Mobil Xhp
7. Castrol oil
I always tell people to follow owners manual at all times .. That been said , Pennzoil is very good Mobil 1 is Very good.. Even Pennzoil has a formula for European cars ........


And more than likely the car has high miles . Anything over 75k miles is considered high miles.. So look for good quality high mileage oil .. The high mileage oil has additives that protects older engine ...

I don't think Pennzoil European formal has high mileage oil ... So go for Pennzoil high mileage if u can find 1 ........

Either way my brother follow owners manual and use High mileage engine oil ..... Auto parts and engine are costly now ..

So think am well o .. You don't want to be coming on nairaland after wrong oil damage ur asking for help to repair the car ... Coz Mechanic go use ur car learn work grin and last last the car will be worse than before it was given to mechanic to fix ......

Am saying from experience .. I brought in a 2005 c230 few years .. Benz mechanic use my car learn work o. Last last I had to sell the car for peanuts.. A word is enough for the wise

Please which will you recommend for engine oil when changing oil. I have read that 5w-30/20 recommended but my mechanic said there alot of fake ones in the market and he recommended 20w50. This is my first service for camry 2007
20w50 fake pass my brother.. Because it is cheap and easy to make .......you can even make am in ur compound to show how easy it is .......

Always use the recommended oil .. The v4 camry 2007 are known to short oil .. Factory defect it is a well and it does not mean that all of the v4 go short .. Just a large portion of it does .......

But if you are lucky enough and 100% sure urs does not short any oil at all .. Than go with the recommended oil on the oil cap .... But if u are unlucky try 5w40 full synthetic .. We have sellers on Nairaland that can buy from including myself .........

Thanks for the advice, what is the recommended transmission fluid? Kindly advice. Thanks.
Transmission fluid is not what you change anyhow like engine oil . before changing transmission fluid check with a good mechanic if you can find any one .... If the transmission is still pink color it means it is still good....

But whatever be the case check with a qualified mechanic before proceeding ......

Good morning guys

Please to those using Honda civic 06-10, mine is 09 want to know the recommended engine oil to use for servicing. Thanks.

Also the routine for servicing.
My brother you need to pay more attention to your car .. The recommended engine oil should be on the oil cap . The oil cap is very easy to locate each car varies, but easy to locate .. Below is an example of a 2010 corolla oil cap and location of oil cap ......

5w20 is recommended oil .. I also own a fleet of civics 03 to 05 very good cars if taken care of and easy to maintain .. And make sure u use the recommended transmission fluid at all times.......

The engine can tolerate abuse , but the transmission will not tolerate any abuse . it will end in tears you will going to 1 Honda parts dealers to another to get another transmission.. Last last na rubbish parts dealers go sell to you .....

Am talking ftom experience....A word is enough for the wise

I bought Toyota Corolla 2005 Sport car of recent -May, 2021. It came with the Owner's manual. A meticulous perusal, it stated that,"SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather" IF, SAE 5W-30 is not available, SAE 10W-30 oil may be used. HOWEVER, it should be replaced with SAE 5W-30 at the next oil change".
If you bought the car tokunbo . follow the owners manual at all times and look for good oil brand .
Preferable imported brand .. Engine oil is now expensive than ever.. So is engine replacement and parts etc ........

If na naija used .. Am not a fan of anything naija used. Than you have to trend carefully and ask previous owner what oil they were using etc .......

Good luck ......

Due to the huge demand for Mobil 1 0w20 and 5w30 .  We like to introduce Super Tech oil 10k miles oil change . And Super Tech Advance 20k miles oil change .


The  cost of Mobil 1 EP  retails for 23k naira to 27k naira. Which is out of reach to most car owners. This is due to unstable naira . it has greatly affected the importation business.


I decided to look for a better alternative to Mobil 1 EP . Super Tech oil and products has been around for years . The Warren Oil Company that produces Super Tech has been around for over 100 years.


Super Tech 10k miles and Super Tech Advance 20k miles are highly comparable to Mobil 1 EP . This is at the fraction of the price with a superb quality


Since Super Tech does not have to spend millions of dollars on advertising like Mobil 1 and other brands. It makes it more easily  affordable for car owners. Kindly keep in mind that I run a fleet of uber cars . And I know for sure that the high cost of Mobil EP  as greatly affecting my bottom line ..


  We want car owners to do some research on this great product. Project Farm on Youtube . He is highly respected oil analysis on Youtube. He has done series of test on different brands of oil .  And super Tech held up pretty well to other brands at the  fraction of the price. 

    


Super Tech oil and coolants will be available in the next three weeks.. I am greatly committed in giving you value for your money.....Join us as we super tech to great savings .....


           We do reserve the right to limit 2 gallons per customers. Dru23 is no longer excepting Wholesalers or credit sales.

And apart from Super TEC products . I will continue to import Mobil 1 EP and Pennzoil . A big thank you to all my various customers .

We have here a 2010 Corolla Sport. Perfect condition and very clean title .

This will make a perfect car for the perfect owner . The previous owner took good care of it .. She hates to see it go ......

Interesting buyer you can contact me via dru23@hotmail.com before the car arrives Lagos. This car is worth the wait ..........

3.1m naira only and it is non negotiable.. Plz and plz no middle man are allowed. Serious buyer .. You can put a deposit before car arrives .. It is worth the wait ladies and gentlemen....

Well-done bro for the good work.
Pls I have an issure with a car I bought recently volkswagen touran 2.0 fsi .
The problem of the car was it was over gouged with oil after which it stated smoking.
According to the owner ,he said they have refused the oil to the normally gauge , and was told the smoke will reduce.
But it's one week now and the smoke it still there.
I manage to travel with the car which I end up buying close to 6 liters of engine oil.
And I also noticed the plugs don't fire well and the number two plugs socks oil but the rest plugs are just black but not socked like the number two plug.
There is also a check engine light on it.
The engine also vibrates due to this condition.
I need advice on what to do cos I don't want any bad mechanic to damage the already sick engine.
Bro anything volkswagen is one of the worse cars anyone can buy .. I was tempted to buy it few years ago. I do see those cars cheap in the auction ..

But I will never buy it at all .. I wish u had thought of it before buying it .....retail value for that car alone is another challenge on its own. And how many volkswagen mechanics do u know ....


Volkswagen products are just bad cars.......

his engine is V6 2gr not i4 2az. Its the i4s that comes with the oil shortage defect not the v6. Op, i 'll advice you look for a closer alternative like this poster suggested. You could try other notable brands too just ensure you stick to the oil viscocity recommended by the manufacturer or a very close alternative. The 20w50 is a no no for me.
He is very lucky than .. Those engine are strong and fast .. I love those v6 engine camry especially the SE version Camry.. Fast cars nice too the fully loaded ones with leather erc..

Hello fams, please kindly recommend an oil for my Camry 08 V6 engine. Since I bought it 8 months 7 months ago, I’ve been changing the oil every two months using mobil 2000 5w - 30. However, I’ve been to several petrol station & they don’t have this oil. I stay in Lagos. What other brand can I use ? Today someone suggested this & I want to be sure if it’s okay using it
If you want to cut the lifespan of your engine go ahead use it .....

If you want to prolong the lifespan of the engine follow the owners manual at all times .. They design the engine and they know better than us .....

Now those model camry do come with factory defect. Meaning that they short oil . this is well know fact , if yours has that issue and you are 100% sure it does . you can use 5w40 not 20w50 ...... A word is enough for the wise .....


We have people on nairaland that sells oil .. Reach out to them .. Imported engine oil is expensive now . so is engine and parts .. Choose wisely

You are right. It is full synthetic Oil, not mineral as Gaz alluded. And what OP have there is 5w40 Full synthetic oil which normally is cheaper than the 5w30 and 0w30 Synthetic oil. Mobil won't want law suit and will not package mineral oil as full synthetic oil.


The question u need to ask urself is . Will this Mobil be approved in the USA market ? .... If you can truly answer this question than u know why it is marketed towards certain countries

Hello all

I recently started seeing this new Mobil Super 3000 fully synthetic 5W-40 engine oil at their partner filling stations all around Lagos.

The details on the oil gallons are not well explained to specify the application on cars either by models, year of manufacture or certification/standards.

Has anyone come across this engine oil?

Have you used it on your car?

What cars are they recommended for?

Is it applicable to Toyota cars of engines from 2009 upwards?

Is it an alternative to Mobil 1 advanced full synthetic oil?

I need clarifications please.

Thank you
This is not even close to any alternative to Mobil 1 EP .. I will be bringing in an alternative soon ....

I've been thinking about starting uber business, but I don't intend to drive. The stories I've been hearing about how drivers treat cars are horrible. From your posts, it appears you already have a fleet and you are quite good with car maintenance. Can you please advise a brother?
This is not an easy business and not for the faint of heart. Some days I use all delivery money to fix the cars. And I only buy Tokunbo cars .. The way I source for the cars I usually get them cheap .. And even when I get them cheap . I sometimes end up spending huge money to fix unexpected repairs.. So na tough business.. And people don't know how to maintain their cars .....


My advice is know what you are getting into before you invest ... It is a good cash flow business if you know what you doing
