Do u have penzoil oil for 0w 20

We no longer sell Pennzoil, which is a shame. Pennzoil is a better engine oil than Mobil 1 in my opinion......

But na Mobil 1 is what people want. I try to introduce people to Pennzoil so many times. I can have 100 gallons of Pennzoil and 300 gallons of Mobil 1 .. Mobil 1 will be sold before pennzoil ..


Na so I give up o and I focus on what the market wants. Pennzoil 0w20 is actually good for Lexus 350 . I think it is the 2010 models that uses 0w20.

Sorry for the long epistle .....

Greetings great Nairalanders.

How best should engine oil shortage issue with Toyota Camry 07 be managed?
*Is it by topping the oil whenever the level goes down and check engine light comes on?
* Is it to change engine oil completely when the bolded above occurs?

Kindly help.


2007 Camry 4cylinder are known to short oil . it is a factory defect. The v6 does not short oil....

My advice is to use thicker oil . but you don't want to use something that is too thick either. You want to manage the car as long as possible

So look for 10w30 or 10w40. Prefairable Mobil 1

Car Talk / 0w20 Vs 0w30 by dru23(m): 12:52am On May 08, 2023
Have gotten alot of calls from 0w20 car users. Most times a customer will call and request for a 5w30 on a 0w20 vehicle..........

According to them they are looking for better protection for their engine.. Yes we agree that 0w20 is a thin oil . but it does not mean you should go and use 5w30.

I always advice my customers to follow owners manual of their vehicle........

The only time I will advice the use of thicker oil is when the car short oil and there is no leaks. And also when you are 100% the pcv valve of the car is not worn out......

So for the car owners that are using 5w30 instead of 0w20 . we have good news for . We have very limited quantity of Mobil 1 0w30. This will be arriving at the end of May

Not only yours.
There are 1995 cars in Nigeria still running.
And there are 2010 cars already in need of engine replacement.
Maintenance isn't the only issue, some engines even come with sludge from your precious obodoyinbo

Baba .. It is 1 thing for those cars from 1995 to still be plying Naija roads, is another thing for those cars to be road worthy........

Most cars on naija road now are coffins on wheel. Some don't even have brakes, airbag, tires, broken mirror seat belt etc . The list goes and on . most of those cars are smoking white, black all manner of smokes .. These cars are polluting the air we breath.....


USA cars rarely have sludge in them . And if they do and advice our fellow Nigerian men on how to properly get rid of sludge. They will turn blind eye and continue using engine oil that will create more sludge

Nice writeup but do you think our high demand for engine replacement can only be attributed to poor maintenance culture?
I think it can also be because of the average age of our vehicles.
Let's face the truth, our vehicles are usually at least 15-20 years old and at least 150,000 miles. We also have old vehicles abroad but the statistics is better on an average.
They mostly change their cars sooner than we do.

I think maintenance plays huge role .. After all we still have Toyota camry from 1999 still on the road in the USA. And the cars are passing inspections to ply the road......

We can agree we have bad roads in Nigeria. But are they some basics things that we can do to prolong the life a vehicle


For an example now , I have a 2007 Toyota SUV v6 In Nigeria . Have been using the vehicle for past 5yrs .


The engine is as sharp and quiet as ever.. The only issues I have is the shocks, tires, ball joints , linkage. And these are due to bad roads .. And I use the recommended engine oil and coolant.


The radiator has never been touched.. The compressor is going bad due to old age . So there Simple things that we can do to extend the life of our vehicle

Manufacturers can advise the use of SAE 30 with one other option (they mostly don't give just one option)... This is because of changes in the environment. SAE 30 may be the recommended oil type for people living in cold regions... for someone in a place like Nigeria where the sun is at times very high, an SAE 40 will be the best bet.


Car owners should always follow owners manual at all times.. And avoid going of the rail.

When a competent vehicle manufacture designs an engine like Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Audi , Volvo etc . The engineers take into account the weather conditions and the terrain those vehicles will operate. These cars are shipped and sold all over the world...

The engineers are pretty much aware of all these things. So the engines are design to operate in most severe conditions regardless of weather conditions. They don't built engines for cold weather or hot weather. But they built engines for all extreme conditions. And this is why you have the owners manual to read and follow...

In the owners manual it will tell you the type of oil to use in some extreme conditions or in all conditions etc . 10w30, 5w40, 0w30, 5w30 etc

I always get upset when people use Nigerian weather to go off the rail or an excuse to ignore owners manual. We have all year weather conditions like Nigeria in the USA .. Texas, Arizona, Las Vegas( Las Vegas is a desert) Florida just to name a few . Do u think engines are built for those specific places .. Even places like Dubai are hotter than Nigeria.......

From my years of experience, I have never a country that imports engines like Nigeria. People are always changing engine all the time. And you ask yourself why is it that way.

In the USA people don't engines like that.. We maintain our cars to avoid expensive repairs. The labour cost alone will make you ran mad .

Some engines cheap but the cost to replace will cost more. And the paper work involve is not worth it.


We need to learn to follow directions and read. And with the mindset that car owners have in Nigeria. I don't see electric cars thriving on the road even if there is 24hrs electricity. It is just a nightmare to have those cars on the road. Our mechanics are not ready or willing to learn new skills........

By 2035 all car manufacture will stop making petrol engine .. Toyota was very reluctant at the beginning , but now they have change course. Volvo has totally stop making ICE ( Internal combustion engine) ...........

And Nigerians that cannot follow simple instructions will now be driving electrics cars ....

Planning on buying mobil 1 with resurs. Make I see the magic. My top cover seal has expired and its draining oil like every 4days.naija don taya me

Make sure u fix the leaking seal .. Mobil 1 oil is not a magician that turns water into wine o. The purpose of the oil is to continue to protect and lubricate all moving parts of a good engine..

All these Tokunbo cars that are on the road. If the abroad owners didn't maintain it and use proper oil , they will be nothing left for people to drive in Nigeria

Use proper oil and follow owners manual .. Don't be that guy here that uses VISCO 2000 SAE40. Maybe na generator engine he put inside his camry car for him to be using SAE40

Be wise o

That is what I stated on my previous post.. Funny enough self , even some reliable source na middle man . there is a high chance that original and fake are mixed that the middle man or men are not aware of.......

He has already told you he can't differentiate the fake all the time, you only know by the level of input the duplicator is ready to go to make it look genuine.

The Mobil oil has a bar code and the container body has ash colour and should be readily clean.

The details sheet should properly lap on the body of the container and shouldn't have glue showing at the sides .

The cover should be sealed without any deformity and after removal, a foil seal should be seen at the mouth which is to protect from spillage incase the container is placed upside down.

The quantity of the oil should be written in imperial form 4.7quartz not in metrics litres

Thank you my brother.... I no get power for long explanation.. You do well

I was even told that even foil seal can be duplicated ....
