Please can someone recommend a good engine oil for 2009 V4 Venza. 5w-20 and 0w-20 are written on the oil cap but the oil got short when I used one of them in Mobil1. I need help on a better recommendation

I do import Mobil 1 engine oil directly from the USA . Pic (1)below ... . And also the issue of oil shorten or burning is this the first time you experience such .....

You could also experience oil burn for different reason. A bad pcv Valve could also be the reason (pic2). You look for a competent mechanic to check the pcv Valve

I recently(3 months ago) serviced my 2012 Lexus Rx 350 with Fanfaro WS transmission oil..as I couldn’t ascertain the genuineness of those Toyota WS variants being sold around. So far, I’ve not had any issues with it. I also reside in Ibadan..and it’s advisable that you allow an experienced profession gearbox specialist(repairer) handle the job. His work environment also, must be entirely free of dirt.
Ps: Mine took about 5 liters…

We import original Mobil 1 from the USA . And we also do special order. When it comes to your car please buy original fluids to avoid premium tears......

I will be loading end of October. Place your order for the transmission fluid . We can ship out of Lagos

Hi Dru. Well done. I'm not sure you do other brand of oil except Mobil right? Also if you don't drive every day, let's say mostly weekend, city driving. Can you service every 4-6months if you use Synthetic oil?

Funny u mention it . Castrol and Pennzoil oil will be arriving before the end of this month. So be on the look out ........

It seems you pamper your car 🚗 or weekend car . My advice is change the oil every 3months plz don't wait till 6months. Once you using quality brand of oil and full synthetic. You should be ok 👍

Interesting. Thanks.

Lets say i want to switch to the recommended oil which is SAE OW-20 or 5W-20, can i still do it and will there be any side effects?

Changing to recommended oil now is medicine 💊 after Death.......

And it is not cost effective to start with. you will have to drain out and flush out the sludge. And also replace the oil seal of the engine. Depending on how badly sludge up the engine is . It will take time and money. You are better off getting a grade A tokunbo engine. Which again is not cost effective.....

Manage the car like that until you can get a tokunbo car. We learn from our mistakes and move on. This is a learning experience. I learn the hard way and that is how get into the importation of engine oil business..

Someone recommended Total quartz 5000 (20w50), can i change to this?

Yes you can still use any of the two.. It is less thicker than the sae40 . And you still be burning more fuel and over working the oil pump...

The only advantage you have is time .. It will give you a little more time before the engine packs up .. And also you still need to change the oil every 3k miles.....

Pic 1.Below is how your engine should look, if you are following owners manual and changing oil frequently

Pic. 2. This is more than likely how your engine might be

2007, i’m not using d recommended oil, i am using the oil the previous owner (nigerian used) was using - total classic sae-40.

I do mostly city driving, and I last changed the oil in June.

The oil you are using is too thick and you are over working the oil pump. And in the process you are burning more fuel....
You will need to change the oil more frequently because you are not using full synthetic oil. You will need to change oil every 3k miles.

Failure to do so will result in sludge.. I will not be surprise if there is sludge in the engine already.

Using the recommended oil is too late in my opinion because of the abuse of the previous owner and continuous abuse of the current owner..

I don't think giving any solution will rectify any damage now . Maybe using the full synthetic oil will only clean the sludge out . But you will need a mechanic to open up the engine to see if there is any amount of sludge.

After all said and done the engine is living on a borrowed time

Hi guys, pls how often should i change d engine oil in my Honda civic?

1.What is year is the Honda Civic?
2. Are you using the recommended oil?
3. Is the vehicle tokunbo or naija used ? If na naija use what is previous oil the owner was using

4. Do you do mostly highway or city driving?

Over all Honda Civic have tough engine and they can tolerate engine abuse ( it does not mean say make you abuse the car )

Me for example I drive a 2011 G25X.. And I use Mobil 1 5w30. 85% of my driving is high way and I change my oil close to every 10k miles..

But if na city driving I will likely change am every 5k miles... City driving stresses the engine coz of the stop and go . And your brake will chop beating

It will fail after a few years. Nothing last for ever.

My currant car now infinit g25x 2011 model. Has been using the same a/c compressor from day 1. That is 13 yrs ago .

The average life span of a/c compressor is about 10yrs . If the compressor fails me now and I replace it I will have another 10yrs plus of usage. I don't think I want to drive the same car for 20yrs. It go tire me. So the compressor has over serve it's purpose.. it try or he no try...

What Nigeria lacks is maintenance culture... If you maintain your car it will serve it's purpose and you enjoy am ...

Use the original a/c gas . Your compressor will reward for years to come.... Use the recommended engine oil your engine will run smooth and last years.....

Make we at least learn from the white man small .

Nice one my oga. Never regretted getting a brand new automatic compressor.

That your Rx350 na machine.. That engine is the best engine .. But sadly production of those engine stop at 2022 model....... You are lucky man and I know the maintenance you put into that car .........

My last Lagos trip I saw a 2013 / 2014 model. It was red in color. It had USA factory tinted windows rim etc everything about that Rx350 was factory made. The car clean die. The paint on that car was excellent no blemish at all. I felt like stopping the guy and advertise my Mobil 1 engine oil 0w20 ..lol

The new a/c compressor go last you forever . make sure you continue to use the original 134 A gas. If you do that no matter how hot the weather gets . The a/c setting on the lowest will be more than enough.. Na you go dey go complain say the car is too cold . and u go dey wind down window

Team Rx350 v6 all day and everyday.....

Just seeing this
I think people like you should be completely avoided in an intelligent discussion as far as cars are concerned.
I bought a brand-new compressor from eBay, shipped it down to Nigeria, and had it fixed by Mosbus. All this happened two years ago, and to this day, the car compressor is still in perfect working condition.
Why would you even advise someone to use a manual compressor when they can afford an automatic one?

Brand new compressor is always the best way to go. The used compressor on eBay is taking a 50/50 chance... And I hope you are using the original 134a gas .. If u are not using the original 134a gas than you are throwing money down the pit...... And na just matter of time before the new compressor packs up. So keep that in mind... The fake 134a gas is one of the major reasons that a compressor packs up........

And the only time I will advice people to use manual compressor is if the car na junk car .. At times a brand new compressor cost more than the car itself.......

But if are driving a grade A car and you to drive the car for long and avoid mechanics re arranging your a/c system please use brand new compressor and original engine oil ..........
