Well said. But I've two questions

1. Please how much do you buy Mobile 1 oil and what quantity is required during oil change.

1. What type of transmission fluid do you use for your car and how much.

Thanks. I will do that. Do I need to chsnge the mobile xhp 20w50 that is already there now? The oil was put in on last Sunday 25th august.
How can I get the contact of Radsuto and genuine engine oil dealers


Before it is too late change the Mobil xhp 20w50 to the reccomend oil 5w20 .. Radauto is in Lekki, just Google the address .. They can help you get to the bottom of the check engine light issue..
I do have 5w20 Mobil 1 coming in for 17k ..

Well I did not ask about castrol Edge.. I asked how many miles the castrol GTX you are selling can do??

I want to do some financial calculations grin grin Remember you use to tell us(people not using mobil 1 EP) that we are not money smart.. We are wasting money since we are not doing 15k oil change grin
USA Castrol gtx can do 5k to 7k miles oil change interval. That is if you follow the manufacturer advice of your vehicle. Not everyone will want to do oil change every 12k miles like I do with Mobil 1 extended performace... USA Castrol gtx is much better than most of the junk oil destined for the Nigeria Market.. If you have better alternative share it with the public.... stay bless bro ...

Well you never encouraged any oil aside mobil 1 extended performance.. We are here talking about castrol...

How many pre 2007 cars do the manufacturer ask for synthetic oil??
Have you read the manual on your civic? What did Honda say about synthetic oil?
Last last You are here for the customers money grin grin grin
Any oil they request for you provide!!

Finally we wil Still hear some of my customers cannot afford 13500 oil, customer demanded something more pocket friendly like synthetic blend.. so so so so so...
Make your money Bro

The Check engine sign is.constantly show on my dashboard after servicing. The engine oil wss refillied and filter replaced. However, the engine oil used was Mobile super XHP 20W-50 as against the recommended oil which is SAE 50-20W. Reason being that the recommended oil is not available in Nigeria.
Pls what should I do to resolve the check engine sign on the dashboard. How serious is it? The car is Honda Pilot and just arrived as tokunbo.
My advice is to use the recommend oil 5w20 ...we have genuine engine oil dealer on the forum ..so getting 5w20 grade should not be an issue ..never use Mobil xhp 20w50 especially if it is not the recommend oil to use .. You could damage that engine in the long run ...for the check engine light issue, I will advice you to take your car to Radauto in Lekki.. It is better you spend the money now than spend double the amount down the line ....

Atleast you can see from my post that i clearly indicated that you are still in business for Mobil 1. You are only being competitive which is very good.
The post was mainly for people who might think am pushing Mobil 1 away ... Since I have cars on uber I can't leave Mobil 1 extended performace alone .....It just that people complain that they can't afford 23k Naira oil that I sell for 17k .. So I was encourage by some customers to look for alternative for them..

FUN FACTS: I use to import castrol oil from the day I started selling oil.. Funny enough it sold pretty well. I stop selling it because Mobil 1 extended performace gave my uber cars longer oil change.. It was not even my plan to sell engine oil ,at the time I brought them in mainly for my uber fleet.. But I when found out how good the oil is .. I couldn't keep my mouth shut, I had to let my fellow uber partners know ... and one thing lead to another ,I started selling them ...

Hahahahaha I thought we only use the best extended performance synthetic oil grin grin
Last last You go still bring amelica mineral oil, we still dey wait .. Na money be fine Bobo!!!

Can the castrol do 15k miles?
Sorry to break it to u bro. How many brand new cars straight from the factory uses mineral oil .. A lot of car manufacturers are now using either full synthetic or synthetic blend... cars are getting more advanced now ....mineral oil is the thing of the past.... I don't have data to prove it ,but my educated guess is that at least 50% of cars that enter Nigeria market are high miles cars.. Anything over 75k miles is consider high mileage. And I can bet that most cars tokunbo or naija used are over 75k miles.. So my point is that me personally will not recommend mineral oil for high miles cars... never would I encourage it,

Castrol edge can do 15k miles.. Keep in mind that Castrol also have their own extended Performance formula too.. Mobil 1 Extended Performance is a bit cheaper compare to Castrol extended performance ..
And no mineral oil for me .. I will never sell it or reccomend it.. I don't use it and why would I recommend it .. There is nothing wrong with mineral oil, "but why be good ,when you can be great "

grin grin grin. You won't blame him na, he wants to remain competitive and not like he's completely pushing Mobil 1 away cheesy. I'm not a brand freak and have never been. It's the contents in the brand that matters most to me. Carquest coolant did the job for me that i would have spent double if i was a brand person.

I watched videos, read reviews, did my own research and the decision was made after realizing that the content meeting manufacturers specs that matters and not even the colour or brand of the coolant.

Mobil 1 is a good brand but there are other silent brand that will do the same job if not better.

Take it easy with your padi man grin
I will NEVER PUSH MOBIL 1 AWAY .. I still have some shipment for Mobil 1 extended performace on the way ..... Do u know how many calls I get for Castrol a day ? So I listen to my customers and I brought in Castrol. Not everyone can afford 22k naira oil .. So I found an alternative and a good price point... if a car owner can't afford a fully discounted USA Fully synthetic oil for 13500k naira.. That person is not ready to be a car owner.. I dont discriminate and business is about catering to all type of customers...

What's your price for the Castrol 5W30? I believe you should have factored in all to enable some of us either prepare of the purchase or consider another Brand.
To make it affordable to all my customers .... It will be selling for 13500 Naira ....keep in mind it is fully synthetic Castrol made for the USA market.....

Since you are like me , I tend to factor in reviews before I buy things

There are many but the challenge is the shipping from the USA to naija due to weight. That's why i am waiting to see the next brand that the chairman would market.

I've nothing with Mobil 1 but i have discovered that it's a waste of money for the car i am using it for because manufacturer recommends oil change when it reaches 5000 miles but Mobil 1 extended performance can go up to 15,000 miles. A vehicle like Mercedes is 13,000 miles which Mobil 1 extended performance is suitable for.

So it's best i get another cheaper and good brand as well so i can follow manufacturers recommendation.

Recently, i was in the market for a Coolant and Toyota coolant being the recommended sells for 14,000 a gallon and since i wanted to do a complete flush, i will be needing 2 gallons which is 28,000. Very expensive approach to me so i decided to use the coolant concentrate to enable me achieve the same 2 Gallons after mixing with distilled water.

At the end, i spent below the 14,000, got a good coolant concentrate and did my flush with so much joy in my heart grin. instead of spending so much
I do agree with you . Mobil 1 is a good brand ,but you have to keep in mind that I sell them cheap compare to what it goes for in the open market... And people are aware my product is straight from the USA ... Are you aware that engine oil has an expiration date? My point is that my product is not only cheap compare to others, but you are guarantee that it is not an expire product too ... There is only so much I can do to deliver good product at a good price, it is a win win for us all ..
And yes Mobil 1 extended performace is not for everyone and not everyone can afford it .. And some cars require you change oil every 5k to 7k miles. This is the reason why I have a good alternative to Mobil 1 oil coming soon

Goodbloke:
I have been following this thread for the past few weeks and I have noticed that drivers are always lamenting about low patronage and low fares as regards this ehailing business.

Am due to join this hustle anytime in September by God's grace and I humbly ask this question .

Is ehailing still profitable and will I be able to net at least 150k per month ? Or should I just sell the tokunbo car when it arrives and use it for something more profitable.

The complaints and jolting tales I get from here isn't encouraging at all
My brother few things I can tell you .. Go for it and don't mind the people that are saying the business is not profitable.. It is usually slow this period . By middle of Sept it should pick up .plus uber promos are getting better for example... if you do 15 trips and pay the 25% commission, any trips afther your 15 trips will be 3% commission... if you target yourself well well ,you can do 15 trips in two days...
Also to ginger you.. I have a female driver and started her first uber with me .. This young lady delivers on time and never gives me issues at all .. She was a radio guest few months ago to talk about her experience as a female uber driver.. She can't be more than 26years ,does she have two heads ? If she can do it and you as a man can't do it .. You are on your own be that, no food for a lazy man ...so think am well . At the beginning it might be tough, but nothing comes easy at all .. Even Ashawo job no easy at all ..stay bless

There are many alternatives, the challenge has just been to either get the alternatives here or the shipping weight issue if one decides to buy/ship via air freight. Mobil 1 even though is a good oil is just the brand name.

Once a product meets manufacturers specification and it has good reviews, I proceed with the purchase. I'm really not a brand freak but only after the contents.

When it arrives, let me know.
Some brands meet manufacturer specifications and others exceed manufacture specifications.. I prefer exceed ,once it arrives I will let u know
