now look at this one

Modify: mind you I was on a trip from Abule Egba to Ojudu oh when this accident happened in front on conoil filling station on college road.

I'd to end trip after a few minute due to the new uber feature of ridecheck n trip ended N600.

Do you also want a snap shoot of that? I can provide it.

Now, @Dru23 how does recon to bad driving? Or how does this place look like Ondo state? The person that informed you I got 14k from the accident how come he didn't tell you where and when the accident happened? How come he also told you I was paid N50k for the trip. How much is flight from Lagos to US? Or Lagos to Abuja that sb woulf pay me N50k to Ondo?

I can see you enjoy tarnishing people's image by making yourself look clean.

The other time you said your moral standard is higher and better than we the average Nigerian who have never traveled abroad.

Oga na d same air poor man and rich man dey breath oh.


God wey bless Mr. A today and made him to buy motor, build house, marry and live good life no be foolish God oh tomorrow e go be Mr. B turn.

You keep saying you ask me to drop you car since the lockdown, please can you provide a proof to that effect? Why then do you still collect the weekly rental, it's been 15weeks plus that the lockdown was lifted, do the maths, you only bought 3tyers @ a total cost of about 12k. Change of oil last 2months or so all of these since January.

The breakpad I complained about abi I no try? 9ne breakpad since January till now. How much do you think I get daily/weekly after paying renthuh So I should drive a car without breaks. I can see how good you're now. God bless you.

Am not mad that you decided to retrieve your car oh dont get me wrong after all I didnt mention you from my first post not until you blow your cover yourself, as the gentle and good man you portray to the public I expected you to have called me and inform me about you intentions that will keep me prepared and maybe do the painting before dropping your car. Or you think I was gonna go ahead and wreck your car had you notified me ahead of time. Far from it pls I wasn't brought up that way okay.

But one thing I know is bad people always think bad about people so I understand.

Your other keys and oil is still with me while I still have some of my stuff in the car pls let me know how I can get them while I handover your belongings.

Thanks and wish you the very best ahead.

Lol .. Hyundai creta ? Of all cars lol .. At least you are been a good boy and following the owners manual.. And like I said owners should always read the manufacture manual at all times.....let's get to the bottom big boy ..

1. It is very funny and unfortunate that at of all the cars you could have use ,you decided to Hyundai creta, that vechicle is not even made for the USA market .. I think it is made for Russian or Indian market ...lol made for 3rd world market ...

2. We can agree to disagree that at least 75% of the cars in Nigeria are imported from the USA.. Depending on the cars , USA spec cars tends to have the best engine, quality control, emission regulations, and one of the best safety regulations in the world.. Now if your Hyundai creta was design for the USA market, it will have the best engine made possible to compete with others cars in the USA ..

3. Most of my customers are owners of USA spec cars .. So obviously the engine oil is formulated to meet those requirements and to pass USA motor regulations.. The oil valves of those USA made cars are designed to allow certain weight or grade of oil to flow easily, so meaning if your car requires 5w30 or other engine oil it should flow easily.. Now if the oil valves is not design to take 20w50. Due to the thickness of the oil ,it will not flow fast enough to lubricate all those parts at the beginning of start up. For example at start up my car will only need to warm up for a good give or take 1 minute. But 20w50 oil cause of the thickness will need a good give or take 5minutes to warm .. How many people will wait that long , and if you do wait you are burning unnecessary fuel ....

4. Some modern cars now using GDi engine I let you Google that lol ... so according to USA car regulations now, or tighter regulations .. Most modern cars will end up using 0w20 engine oil , it is abit thinner and will work for weather conditions... camry ,Corolla, Lexus from at least from 2012 are using only 0w20 .. And the 0w20 will work for weather including our Nigeria weather ....

5. 20w50 oil is an absolute engine oil in the USA , I don't see any USA cars that uses them ..maybe 1950 to late 1990 cars ,.. But USA emissions always changing so I doubt you see too many of 20w50 ,.And use 20w50 do exists in the USA ,likely for heavy equipment machines ,but for Auto especially modern cars, no car manufacturers uses them. .....

Conclusion.. My engine oil I do sell are focus mainly for USA spec car owners.. Car owners should always and always read owners manual at all times.. It will help you in the long run .. And most of you know that USA spec cars are the best in the world, it is build with high standard. Coparts auction is of Nigeria important customers... it speaks volume the importance of USA cars. Thank you all for taking the time to read my post ...

helpishere:
20w50 is specified in many Toyota manuals especially the South African spec. It is listed as the 3rd option and Mobil xhp has migrated from API SL to SN which was what made Cepsa a better choice than our local oil. A lot of people are using it and a lot of dealerships are using it too. Mobil 1 esp is suitable for Peugeot cars because it is stated there. But if Exxon Mobil states that the oil has fuel economy for Gm, Toyota, Nissan Honda, then it was created for these cars. Don't forget that Mobil is the one making Toyota branded engine oil.
Go to Jumia and you will find the oil there.
Bro it seems you have issue with one of the oil seller here. You are owing the guy money.. He gave you USA Castrol edge on credit ... For you to pay him back his money is now an issue . He carried soldier and police man to your shop, before u were able to part of the money .. Another famous nairalander intervene on the matter.. Kindly deal with the issue and stop trying to destroy someone else business......


Mobil xhp explanation is fraud again.. The best is for owners to read the oil cap of the engine.. Mobil xhp 20w50 is obsolete... And stop passing down wrong information to the public...... Below is an Rx350 that and the oil weight 0w20.... If the Toyota manual says 20w50 please point it out to us .....

And am aware of your age sir, kindly educate yourself and act your age ,instead of been a troll .... Thank you in advance sir

Sir you can check other cars also out there.
Civic, Nissan Sentra, Nissan Sunny (manual is very cheap), Corolla Bank Type Manual, Kia Rio Manual, Hyundai Manual, Avensis Manual and so on.

All these cars I mentioned, you can get it below 600k but always keep like 50k to fix minor repairs.

NB: Don’t expect too much luxury on these cars remember its naija used just to recoup your money and put food on table for family.

We y’all gonna be excel

Felicity0001 is very dominant in this forum, using God, reputation to manipulate. I didn't know he has deceived someone to releasing his car for 10k.

He is on a public forum here the more he talks the more he makes himself look bad.....I have nothing to loss here .. But let him continue.. He is mad that I didn't tell when I wanted to collect my car. Or the manner which I did was unprofessional etc .. He wants me to give 90 day notice lol . People are funny sha ..

He mentioned that I didnt state in the contract that he cant do interstate job .. Smh but in the contract I didnt state that he cant wash the car . But he has common sense to know that he has to wash car and keep it clean ..Smh... I just dey shake head

Pointbof correction oga the two times I eas involve in an accident was:

1) in front of NYSC camp Iyana Ipaja around 9:45pm was on a trip home with some riders when a trailer hit me from the back door behind the driver's side. Madam was d first to call me immediately the incident happened I believe the tracker notified her. 5k was transferred to her account for damages and I ended up spending 8k for repairs whilr painting was pending. Thus was during the first month the lockdown was lifted.
Ask madam that night I chased the teo trailers and blocked Egbeda junction that very night causing serious traffic while I waited for madam to come b4 we settled the matter.

2nd one was last week Friday, happened right in front of ConOil filling station. The jeep in the attachment below tried to make a turn over taking me from the service lane, if it those your inexperience drivers the entire front of you car would have finish. If You doubt me I can share with you the contact of my rider I was with when the accident happened.

Call your manager who did blind negotiation and settlement over the phone, my rider was ready to make sure the guy paid heavily. Im sure he told you how much i spent fixing the car.

How many of your drivers had ever done that? Non, right?

I never had any issue on my journey to and fro to Akure and it same day I made the journey. Police only requested to speak with owner of car during their normal check at a checkpoint so what is wrong in me putting a call through?

Does our contract restrict mr from dping interstate travels? No.

Did you at anytime told me not to do interstate journey? No.

So why can't I drive outta state if the opportunity comes callings abi I no dey pay for renting the car
? By the way, how did you know I got 50k from the trip? Which customer will ve ready to pay such a huge sum when local flight is like half the price.

Talking of tyers. I bought one tyer from my pocket without calling on you. You can call your agent in ladipo to confirm.

I was yo carry out the painting this week b4 you called for you car anf if you dont mind I can still do it oh its just 8k. My plan was to flash the car entirely b4 self 15k. Because your painter like you know did a very a job.

Talking of accommodating my personal needs, please boss stop it! I won't let you do that here pls let's respect ourselves as men that we are. The one you did during the covid-19 lockdown well appreciated and I praised you even here for it. So what personal needs are you trying to insult me for? That it was a favor that you rented a tok car to me? Boss you for rent am free na so I go know say na favor.

If you talk of complains, pls point out one Nigerian that is satisfy with life in this country. Even out politicians are also complaining.

You might be one of the bad people we are talking about in Nigeria using church to cover up.

Which juju did u use to convince partner to do rental for 10k?

Is people like u that frustrate owner to sell off.

I don't do competition with no one, i only share my experience, when i came back and start commenting again on this thread, is to give owners the confidence and expose drivers brutality.
None was used..... You give people opportunities, some make the best out of it ,and others squander it ....opportunities can be few months ,days, years minutes etc.. The most important thing is to make the best out of it during that period, before that window closes....

Vol 2:

Thank goodness you corrected that notion because I've all of my receipts in tact including the once I did from wife's acct which was as a result of me not being able to meet up due to weeks I travel to Benin or fell ill to aviod stories I borrow from her to pay my rental to you.

The only times I know I didn't complete payment for a week was due to the days car didn't work to repairs and like you usually do it your drivers pay for days car is sound to work. And these days are very few even, and on one occasion I still paid you 25k despite car didnt work for about 3days. You said I should pay the days it work but i insisted to pay full since I was able to generate extra out of the usual 25k.

The first and only time I meet you was when you visited prior to that we'd only exchange convo via WhatsApp chats and calls. Reason I alwayd refer to my boss as madam because na she give me keys, nevertheless, I didn't disrespect non discount your ownership or person.

I came early to pick you and we went to radautoworks to fix the pvc valve wjen the car was going off intermittently and the other occasion we went out was going to ladipo to fix the special bolt that was making the car have a cranking noise during simulation. Ayo and I did the other repairs same week or there about when we were experiencing oil shortage and legs problems.

Fast forward to covid-19 lockdown. Car was under my custody all throughout with all app shortdown, would you had expected I go online? Or do kabu kabu. Yes, God so kind I got a particular rider in my area pre covid who I usually carry to and fro to yaba isolation centre gor construction and with the connect I was able to get a pass for movement yet I didn't abuse it but only go out the few days he called. And all of this I informed you about it much later. You car has a tracker and I believe you can track all of my movement from Jan till the day you deceptively ask me to drop it

After the lockdown, we again had a conversation and agreement, you said other of your drivers are doing 15k but me I told you i can only do 10k at the moment due to the following reasons:

1) I do only UBER since my Bolt account had been blocked.
2) Uber 3% was the only reason I was able to stay afloat all along after the lockdown its no more till now.
3) Low request on UBER due to the effect of covid-19.
4) Curfew, night clubs are lockdown, Int'l flight, religious and social gatherings aka owanbe are non available
5) High fuel consumption due to a faulty carbon whatever (only your mechanic blackshiphop) can elaborate on that. This is taking a huge chunk of my earnings every day.

With all due respect boss how do you think one can do 20-25k weekly under all of these situation.

Yes I understand your frustration but like you always day its business so dont take it personal.


I'm not the cause of COVID-19 so why should I bear the burnt? We negotiated and had an agreement on how much to be paid on rental why then would you say on two different occasions that you're doing me a favour to rent your property to me at an initial agreed amount? Despite that I still didn't change the sincere person I am to you.

Now, few weeks back I did an interstate travel with the car to Akure then to Benin to settle pending issue at my farm which i couldn't travel as usual due to the Inter state lockdown, madam scoud me you frown at it and I apologise and promise it will not repeat itself again. But for heaven sake why can't I travel with a car in paying rent for? Mind you you've never for once mentioned it to me before so what is my crime or dirt you claim I have that you wanna expose?

The accident I was involved in I fixed the car myself without calling for you assist because I understand the times we are in. Boss how many of your drivers have ever spent a dine on your car from time immemorial? Ask blackbishop he will attest to a few.

Contracts are always meant to be review not the way you carried out your action that I should bring the car for repairs and then you already order your mechanic to ground the car due to repairs.


The truth is people would always think their father's farm is the biggest not until they visit another man's farm. I learnt a few things working with you and that will help to shape my future.

Thank you for the opportunity to work under you fleet and I knoe i can walk talk with my shoulders high to the mountains that my records are clean.

Vol 1

Boss I respect you and nothing will ever change that. But ine thing I will never accept is you painting me black.

I can challenge you to please go ahead and say what ever dirt you think or feel I have for the 7months of partnership we had.

From the very start (Oct/Nov, 2019) when you contacted me via my ads here to drive for you I told you I can't do anything more than 25k weekly. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

The contract papers you're currently using now I composed it and after making and printing my you asked me do some extra copies for you for other of your cars which you also asked me to state 30k weekly. we had a mutual agreement on 25k. So pls kindly tell me where I bridge the contract. Remember I even offered to do minor repairs that's less than 10k but you said no all repairs will be on you, due to your international exposure I then presumed you're making use of the standard over there then I followed every of your guidelines since date till this week. Feel free to expose anything you think contrary I'm saying here... I have records as well.

Boss with all due respect I'm challenging you to please counter or correct me if anything I'm putting up here is printed in lies then expose what ever claims you have with proof.

Now, From Octobet you kept posting me about thr car not being ready till mid Janurary, 2020 that i called you that I'm tired of waiting for a car I don't even know exist while I watch several other opportunities pass by. This was when You gave me contact of your painter, same day I went to his workshop in shasha where I took pictures of the car and sent to you. This was 15/01/2020. Car finally left his place some days after and to another mechanic in ikeja along where a change of oil, breakpads, linkage, tyriod and the right brake lining was carried. The following week I took car to ladipo where a change of tyers and rims was done from 14 to 15 rims. Days later the Reg No was installed. I followed up on all of these myself for about 2 week before car started work on 27th of January, 2020.
Part 1.....

1. You talk too much..... Old proverb... '' walls have ears"

2. During covid, I asked you to drop my car until things get better.. You said business is slow you have to feed your family etc ..like me I dont have family or my family didnt like to eat food.. You said you will be able to pay 10k naira etc .. That 10k naira came with complain, you are tired etc. Just complaining left and right etc .. I told you several times I rather you drop the car . That 10k naira does nothing for me ..

3. When we sign the agreement before covid for 25k naira rental instead of 30k ... you said at the time the business is tough etc ,you are family man etc ...I said fine . Keep in mind you begged me to give you car after me and you clash on the forum about a topic u responded to .. You apologize

4. You didn't tell them that few days ago. You drove my car to Benin and to Ondo state , for personal and business purposes. You claim you had Offline trip for 50k naira .. We knew of the offline trip ,when we got a call from police because you got into an accident.. The police call the owner to verify ownership of the vechicle.. That is how my team knew about your outside trip outside Lagos..

5. You were given 14k naira by the person that was at fault.. The bumper was fix, but yet to be painted

6. You feel very entitled.. I can recall when we went to Radauto to have the car checked .. I order for some food and you order too .. You than either told them to bill me for it or you ask me to pay.. However it was a weird situation at the time , didn't carry much cash with me . Or maybe because you saw me dash a small boy 1k hawking during traffic on 3rd mainland Bridge on our way to Radauto.. Maybe you felt I was father Xmas that day , but I was observing you, that day sha including the way you drive etc .. I kept notes

7. You complain too much about every little thing, I spent so much money putting the car together to fit your taste. Every little thing you complain and I made sure those things were taken care of .. Some of those complain could have waited ....

8. All your rambling at the car wash , I hear am all the way from Lagos to the USA .. I will not go into details on that.

9. You don't know how to separate business and personal relationship...... No need to go into details , am a business man and not a philanthropist.

10. During covid and after covid the car was over 85% in working order. I know how much I put the car in order for your satisfaction, your previous car that you were using for uber can't be compare to the one that I gave you . Any other complains were minor ..
You complain that car might be using a lot of fuel .. So I had Ayo check it out and he found out the Cabin Canister attached to fuel was abit weak ,but it is still ok for now and manageable.. But I order for new one (picture below) and other items for my other cars .....


11. With you it was complain left and right. Either your back is paining you or uber is this or that ,how can a family man survive with uber this and that.. About less than two weeks ago . You complain front needs tire , ok go ladipo buy tire for 5k naira and remove it from your 10k naira rental.....

12. People might be wondering why am I exposing this guy. Am doing this for many reasons, anybody out there that wants to work for dru23. Make sure you come correct especially if you from nairaland, depending how serious the matter is you will be expose .... Am very calculated person .. I have nothing to hide and you will expose to the fullest........

13. Ayodele was not aware that my team will be collecting the car from you. So don't blame him for your problems .. When the parts arrived for the car and my other cars , he was called to do his job only ,we didn't discuss anything with him . As a matter of fact when you brought the car , you were demanding he fixes the car right away and ignore the other car he was fixing.. And stated that the car needs brakes ,linkage etc .. Mean while you have not painted the bumper from your accident outisde Lagos trip .. And the 50k naira offline trip you didnt give us money out of it ,nor did we ask for it. All these time I was watching you and taking my time ..

And you had the guts to say that the manner which the car was collected from you was unprofessional and cruel etc.. Do you expect us to give you 90 days notice ? So that you can have enough time to damage and remove parts from the car smh ......

When I was telling you I rather have my car park at my place during lockdown, and you refuse because you want feed family etc , it is now when lock down is over I will than give you 90 days quit notice? Smh.

Conclusion: I am business man ,My team and I have gone above and beyond to work with you .. We also try to accommodate your personal needs with business needs. I am here to make money.. I have my own personal responsibility too .. I am not father Xmas or bill Gates Foundation... please try and learn from this and make adjustments..

Felicity0001 is just greedy. How can u negotiate 10k weekly. Keke remit 18k weekly. Korope remit 35/40k weekly.

My driver worked for only 3days and remit 11k,

Drivers do this alot, they manipulate u into believing everything is slow, using it to beat down the rent.

The only reason they bully anybody that says things contrary to their opinion, is for them not to be exposed.

Gentlelife50 and co we are busting all of u, and exposing the real market situation.
My brother don't mind some of them .. A lot feel entitled.. Am just calm for now ,

ok... I just modified the post.

Modify: 25k I meant. Typo error. Me do 35k? Shey I dey mad nihuh
20k naira... when others were doing 25k naira, you were doing 20k naira on tokunbo car ... I wanted to put out there... if you are going to put information out there, make sure it is correct... if you want I can post all your delivery of 20k pre covid 19 ......This is my final response to you..... It will be in your best interest not to say anymore and move on ... otherwise I will be forced to expose you more.. The things you think I don't know, I know it all bro... but I will not air out your dirty laundry to the public.... Trust me you.. I can be savage with it .... A word is enough for the wise... I wish you the best in your future endeavors.......

Point of correction. You were paying 25k naira , when others were paying 30k ......we took care of all repairs 100% ...

First he claimed that there is no Mobil 1 engine oil for Nissan Honda and Toyota and I brought his attention to it. Mobil xhp is not obsolete, it's API SN for modern cars and it is the 3rd choice for a Toyota even for a 2013 Corolla. The Op is an investor and not an oil enthusiast. And should be able to give people choices. I'm not a trader and I don't sell oil. We have a problem about the oils in the country and for people to bring oils from the US and no one is asking for the proofs of the source because on Amazon, the price is higher than the price he is selling his product. Dru, thanks for your explanation. I have been following your posts for years. You have argued against a lot of skeptical people because you are sure of your source of oil. Those guys who have nothing to say or defend, good morning
Mobil xhp 20w50 for modern engine? So you telling me in this age and time modern cars are using 20w50 oil.... Again according to my knowledge there is no Mobil 1 specifically made for Nissan and Toyota..

0w20 Mobil 1 meets Nissan and Toyota specification if the cars demands for it ....And just like some Mobil 1 0w40 does not meet some European cars specification..

Be we should ask that jpworld who thinks he's the head of Car Owners Association (COA).

As a matter of fact the guy as succeeded in his evil plans.

Will update the house much later but I won't call out names.

All I can say for the now is may God continue to bless all the good partners both drivers and car owners especially my boss (Madam/Oga), it was a wonderful relationship and a privilege to first knowing, meeting and working with you.

The fact remains good people are hard to find but no one should ever think they're the only good person that exist and that one can never find a good person should you path ways with a partner, spouse or a worker. Also, don't ever think people can't survive without you, else you placing yourself in God's position. and the God I've grown up to understand frown at competition with him and if such person is not careful h/h case woulf be worst than even Nebuchadnezzar in the bible.

Lifr goes on and just like I said the other week good things don't last and that because human fails to appreciate or identify a good thing when they're previllege to have it around them.


Apology to who anyone that may br offended with this post but I need to seek experience opinion with this, kindly drop them with a quote.

Like you all know, I don't do offline due to some bad experiences I've had with riders and asmuch as I hate to be cheated I also don't like it when somebody feels cheated by me.

Now, within is my earning with in the past 4-5weeks, the last time uber credited my account was before the lockdown when uber was still doing the 3% promo after the lockdown and at the end of every week the least balance I usually have is -N10k+. Thank God for the previous uber promo of N7500 after 20 or 30 trips thereabout which leaves my present balance @ -N5k+ pictures attached within.

At the end of the week after paying rental and carrying out other expenses in virtually left with nothing.

Weekly estimate from my earnings is as fllw:

Rental: N10,000 (since after the lifting of the lockdown as agreed btw my partner and I)

An Avrg of N3,500 spent of fuel daily which is about an avrg of N17,000 weekly.
I think the high cost of fuel is due to a faulty catalytic component which repairs is pending to arrival of spare part plus long distance Uber PU alias short distance destination.

Car wash takes an avgr of N2000 weekly.

Personal expenses and repairs like gauging tyers, settle police due to curfew, LASTMA, agboros, water, food, etc N5,000 weekly.

Weekly Subscription N1,200

Total= ~N35,000.

PS: I do only UBER because BOLT has axed me to low rating.

Pls kindly advise if such a driver with wife n kids can rent at N25,000 weekly.

I understand it's not easy for owner partners because repairs is on them but it is what is, everyone is fighting to survive at this time.

You and your co-host(donfortone48) now this is for you two.

Everything i put up there is precise and accurate. I am not the reason for covid-19, . Pro-covid I was doing 35k weekly no stories. After the lockdown was lifted i and my partner agreed with some level of understanding to do N10k weekly pending when things improve and the major cause for my high fuel expenses is been sorted out. Evennwhen I was doing 25k box I don't spend 17k on fuel weekly.

I'm not surprised you can't comprehend the reason for my high cost of expenses on PMS.
So I blame you ignorance on lack of education and your parents for not giving you both adequate education.

Now, you talk about considering partner who has family yo look after, so hoe about the driver and his family?? From the avgr did your sense interprets to you how much is left? N40k-N35k n9 be 5k?? MU MU na 5k I go take feed my family, pay rent with fence that is securing my partner's car and do other thing? School fees are there, pampers, cloth, gas, et el.

Cr.... Or who Suggested I can save 8k from car wash. Bros... I once own a car and I usually take my private car to car wash twice every week for flushing so it has been a part of me. Besides n9 be everyday I go get strenght to wash car na.

Jpworld; the reason you will not have a pay for this week from your recent experience with police is simply becos you and your driver are stupid. That 2h or 5h you think I can add up to my rental is what is keeping your car at the police custody right.

Frim my last experience wh8ch I shared here Izzuo made me understand t9 always place my right last.

Your driver beat the curfew imposed by the President and you're there trying to make a case out of foolishness. Don't worry bybyhe time police finish with you you go know how far.

My partner to the best of his knowledge has decided to ground vehicle till further notice but as for me ahead ahead na him I dey. I waited patiently for about 4month plus for that car the first time during the festive period when guys where catching out. Cars must experience tears and wears which is no fault of my.

I was waiting and ready for further re-negotiation of rental fee after car has been fix but the way and manner I was decieved to return the car is what I find unprofessional and unfair. And the most annoying part was my own guy was used to lure me into a dish.

But like I believe "I don't ever feel to comfortable when everything is going on too well" because there lyes a big problem ahead". Also, when a door close there is always like a 100 other better doors opened.

No offense taken brother man, I understand you view but you of all people should know that washing of tyers anf changing of spare tyers are the two most difficult things in owning a car.

A total change of that device was carried out with a tok spare.

Modify: sorry about the typo

Autos › Re: Mobil 5w20, 5w30, Castrol 5w20, 5w30, 0w20 All EXTENDED PERFORMANCE Available!! by dru23(m):
helpishere:
You once said that there is no Mobil 1 engine oil for Nissan Honda and Toyota and I showed it to you. Tell us if Mobil recommends the extended performance for Toyota Camry? And if they do, your buyers will be happy. Do you know that the extended performance dries up on most Toyotas? The educated buyers use xhp on their Lexus and if you are being touted as a solution provider and you are doing much damage to their cars by selling the oil that their cars does not need, then you are a scammer. Go to Jumia and you will find serious sellers who sells what our cars need.
I didn't really want to get involved at all ....

1. The Mobil 1 0w 20 that you said was made for Nissan and Toyota.. It only means that if you want to use 0w20 for your Nissan or Toyota .. That Mobil 1 0w20 meets Nissan requirement or exceeds it ..

Some car manufacturers will advice you to use a particular brand of oil . Some will say it is marketing gimmick etc, but other reason might be because that brand meets or exceed the car manufacturers requirements.. BMW manufacturers use to recommend Mobil 1 for their car from certain year , but their new cars from 2015 recommends you use Pennzoil.. As car manufacturers looks for ways to improve engine performance, they also have to make sure engine oil are also improve to meet their needs in performance, durability etc.. Some will tell you engine oil brands does not matter ,just as long as it meets API basic standards .. But good brands exceeds those standards ..

2. Example below is Valvoline coolant below .. Toyota car manual will tell you for best performance use Toyota coolant only.. But Valvoline coolant is formulated to meet Toyota car manufacturers standard. It says on it ,some car manufacturers coolant have basic standards and others have higher standard ( by the way am sold out of those coolant). Toyota car owners rush it from me and one of my customers bought it wholesale from me . He clear the whole inventory in one day ...

3. Mobil Xhp that you mention is not the rite oil for any cars. Car manufacturers do not require xhp 20w50. That oil is obsolete .. Those oil were use for cars in the early 1980's or so .. Why Nigerians keep using it , I don't know at all .. I can't imagine a well educated person using that type of oil in modern cars..
Most modern car manufacturers are now building car engine to fit 0w20 oil type and GDI type engine .. Below is a Lexus deal am working on for a client of mine .. The deal has not been done yet .. We working on it .. It is 2017 Lexus . Do you think the client will use Mobil xhp on a car over 15million naira .... Once the deal goes through the owner wants 0w20 Pennzoil to be shipped along with it ..

4. Mobil 1 Extended performance does not damage oil seal .. Mobil 1 Extended performance has been formulated to exceed car manufacturers standard.. It is a very good oil .. I use the oil on my car and I love it ..very good oil .....

I hope you learn 1 or 2 things on my write up tday
