You said it correctly. I use full synthetic oil that mechanics say it last for 6months but due to many factors such as dust (as you mentioned), traffic, hot weather, etc.. I changed it between 2-3months. It’s expensive but my engine performance is top notch.

Same for gear maintenance, I do it twice in a year.

Dynamicboss:
Hmmm that’s true because when I first serviced my car with 5W 30, it took 90secs then for the engine ignition to drop up to 1,000rpm unlike when I switched to OW 20 or 0W 30 which takes 30-40secs to attain the same.

Nigeria environment is completely different from what manufacturers factor in when recommending use and change of engine oil.
So, it should depend on how and where you use the car. Nigeria atmosphere has a lot of dust particles that unfortunately find their ways into the engines. This alters completely the efficiency and the duration of whatever engine oil you use. For me, I change engine oil every month or once I drive the car for 3,000 km

How much do you sell Mobil 1 synthetic 0w-20 and do you think the ones sold on jumia is original?

Realteeyee123:
Exactly what I was trying to point out to the guy . Our mechanics have done so much damage it’s scary .

Sincere question here - do you think modern engines still need the warm up?
I thought that was an issue with older cars

I saw some pple saying cars produced from yr 2000 to date doesn't need worm up b4 driving especially old engine from Night till morning. Every car with any model engine deserved to be worm up for at least 4-5minutes especially in the morning b4 driving bcus the engine has taken over 8 hours to cool so as the engine oil so when you start the engine small, it stimulates the engine oil to go round the engine and ensure some level of lubrication and its make your engine move well b4 you will start accelerating at higher speed. These engines are just like human
beings; sm1 just woke you up and start running immediately?

Oil leak

Parser:
Omor Mb na machine. E dey drive wetin no good.

The mb mechanic I got says oil is ok no need of change. But dem done put fear for my body for the thread. He says the check oil level might be as a result of dirty oil sensors. I can come for general service. He will do the ATS & maybe break pads if I want.

@Dru23 I'll buzz u up for original fluids & other stuff as everything for naija na fake. Only email on ur bio.


Thank you all.

Good evening sir, I want to order an original radiator from Ebay, for my 2012 Camry, what's the price?

Parser:
I'll go through the manual. I downloaded it on Google. Them say if u want to hide info from black man put in a book. The manual is actually bulky. But glance through it at most.

I'd do the oil change from all of your various inputs. I'm highly thankful for all of your responses. Was just a bit adamant as it's not even up to a month I'm on this. But not withstanding, it's better to do the right thing than be sorry.

A very sorry state for the country as everything is now low trust or low quality. What happened to SON.

Is there any online foreign plugs/site that one can order mb stuff?

Thank you.

Parser:
Thank you and much appreciated for your input.

I'll definitely consider this combo for next oil change soon. I just want to be doing the right thing.

Have been also making research on this thread and via Google. I think I have to service the transmission oil as well because the gear selector isn't smooth not that it doesn't shift but I observed from other videos that it has to be smooth like butter. And I noticed like when I select gear sometimes there's some slight noise maybe from the transmission like not smooth. Other times I don't notice any noise. It's possible it could be the ATS fluid since maybe since the vehicle was manufactured the transmission oil hasn't been changed. Just hypothesis. I'm yet to give the MB to a mechanic yet. Although I spoke to one of recent. I want to be knowledgeable at least, before the mechanic make a very small problem to a big one.

For the coolant. I saw a post on around page 100 (moniker, TRAC) that someone in this thread said, any coolant with HOAT, can be used for Benz w203, but to avoid the ones with silicate etc. And I Google Abro Red combo, I saw it's HOAT made.

For the oil, I checked the thread as well but all full of argument...some said 0w 40 that was recommended for Benz since Nigeria weather doesn't start at 0 etc that 10w 40 is better etc 20W 50 isn't synthetic and recommended for old models etc Im just confused, although patiently reading the thread. I just want to do the right thing. But I know an experienced MB would know what's best because sometimes it seems the verdict is unique and based on the country and weather.

What I noticed once I rev the engine, when temperature is 80c, sometimes it shows 'oil change in dashboard', don't know whether is as a result of the 20w50 ..or false readings of oil sensors as it's isn't the manufacturer's recommended and the dipstick shows oil is still in gauge or just oil sensors is faulty.

Should I be consigned, or just ignore?

Further inputs will be appreciated, thanks all.

Thanks. Would appreciate any further input

Richhard:
Oh I replied to that because it's Meguair, armor all is not as good as Meguair.


Meguair range of products is the one of the best auto care products out there.

Richhard:
How much is it? And will you include other car Care accessories stuffs like fiber towel, headlight restorer etc?

Parser:
Mb experts in the house, I greet u all. Pls, see the coolant and engine oil that was used for oil change in C230 V6. Is the oil and coolant ok?

I also noticed when driving sometimes on high rev it shows 'Check oil nearest gas station' and disappears. Sometimes reappears.

I checked the dipstick, oil level is lightly under the Max level like 75%.

My consign is, is the oil ok, as it was changed recently alongside the oil filter.

I did some Google, it says sometimes it could be Oil Sensors faulty or not using the recommend oil.

Your inputs will be appreciated.
