Had to park oo...abi that thing wey dem dey put inside d radiator to seal it those it work well??
Am pretty you were using water instead of coolant. When we talk of coolant, we not talking about coolant u buy 5k naira ... You need to buy original coolant .....

Now I guess what your local mechanic will advice u to do now ......
Instead of him to advice you to buy original coolant. He will tell you to buy double cell radiator .. Which is totally wrong . your car didn't come with double cell , so why use double cell ?

Below is a radiator I ordered for my customer 2010 camry....... With radiator flush plus coolant.... He had the same issue u had .......

When buying any vehicle , we tend to forget to check for rust underneath the car ....

For a 2008 xc90 u can see the rust level is not bad at all.. These are the advantages when buying from private seller......

The problem is how to get the original because I am using fake one .
I went to mobile the mobile1 I saw for #32,500 look old and I can’t find it anywhere online the product.
One major oil dealer here in Uyo I saw another different mobile1 for 25,000 been seeing the product online even Jumia , Konga and many online stores have that type too.
Just little bit confused with the price gap the money is not the problem. Just afraid of fake oil.
Give us a buzz and have peace of mind... We are at ur service ......

You bought fake oil. We've always preached against using sub-standard products. I could supply you genuine Mobil 1 5W20 or Castrol from Abuja if it's okay by you.

I recall last December, I went around various markets and mechanic garages in Uyo, spoke to various people so as to know the mindset of people here because I wanted to set up a shop where I'd be selling US and EU oils, radiator coolants and brake pads, the feedback I got was very poor. Most mechanics told me the owners here just buy any oil and top up and they don't bother to change oil filter. This was a huge shocker to me!

Don't use cheap oils for that car.
Let me offer my 2cent. This business is a niche business. Only a handful of car owners care about their cars .... If you can target high end car owners u might be able to break through..... And only very few will appreciate the fact that you are telling them the truth......

C’mon I’m only talking to people who might want to resign grin

I can’t do this job for 3yrs d reason I said it’s not sustainable and can’t be compared to office.
Did 5months - 2019 and jappa.
2021 we all have targets and need more sources of income to meet up; ehailing is one of d easiest way to add to income without long thing. Just have a car registered and start driving same day you go home with 10k.
And this is good for only car owners, Not peeps on rentals or higher purchase.

I’m not talking down on ehailing for people who don’t have a choice, it’s far better than staying at home doing nothing.
Now I know why 2010 car humble u... grin

They’ll damage your engine with that oil quote. A little research will go a long way. Tell them you wish to buy your own oil and see what they have to say.
Correct my brother.. Even me in Yankee I buy own oil and take it to either my local mechanic or dealership .And they only charge me for labour . which can cost between $ 15 to $30...those engine oil in the drums I don't trust it at all

kunkelhanspeter:
If the break pads haven’t worn off for almost two years is it not better than change every 3-6 months.

they gave me this list just to service car not that bad though instead of buying mobile 1 and give it to roadside mechanic.
Going to the dealership for certain things for the car can be overrated. Simple things like oil change, I will either buy my own oil and take it to dealership or take it to my local mechanic. When it comes to original parts I will go to dealership to buy the parts and than take it to my local mechanic to fix ...........certain things that only a dealership can do........ I don't want to bore u with my Do's and Don'ts of dealership .......

So let me analyze your bill .........

1. The cost of engine oil needs more questions than answers. Dealership are known to cut cost on certain services. Engine oil is 1 of them. They usually buy their oil in big drums. Me I rather my own oil and take it to them to change. You need to ask what type of oil is been used. And my guess here is 20w50 was used and this is not the recommended oil.

When using 20w50 u have to change the oil more often. So your car will be due for another oil service pretty soon by them grin this is how they make money. Now if u had used full synthetic oil , it might take u another 6 months for oil change or 10k miles........


2. The Oil Filter....am curious to know the type of oil filter that was used for that amount. Dealership do not invest in high quality oil filter. They buy the cheapest brand as much as possible. Now am not saying that it will not work o. But it will cost them like for example 2k naira and than sell it to for 6k ..... So next time you go for oil change u will be bill for another oil filter grin. This is how they make money again.
Pic 1... The Oil filter in the picture is Mobil 1 high end filter. This filter is good for 15k miles oil change. They are high quality. I usually sell them for about 8k naira. This are special request or orders. And I can bet money that this not the filters they are using for your car ..........by the time you Elizade change filters 2 or 3 times . The Mobil 1 filters that my customers are using will still be good .. You would have change filters 2 or 3 times before my customers changes theirs...........

At the end my brother you think u are saving money . You are not really saving anything..... It has now become " the more you look the less you see" scenario ..... .....

We are always at your service when you need us ......

I am not referring in particular to d Camry but all cars generally, sometimes it's just the valve seals that need to be changed and d oil shortage will stop.
From experience... You are 100% correct. And at times the pcv valves will need to be checked.

Most of the mobil 1 we buy are fakes. Even the ones from so called trusted Nairaland sellers. The only oil seller I can vouch for is Dru23. Maybe madam rad too but I haven't used hers before.

It's just unfortunate that you can't bank on Dru, today he has tomorrow he's out of stock.
We do take our customers criticism seriously . when I started this business, my objective at the time is to offer affordable engine oil and parts to customers. I wanted to cater to a small niche of car enthusiast....

Due to word of mouth from various customers like you sir , giving us honest reviews and trust . The demand of our product exceeded what we can supply. We are forever indebted to customers like you and others here on nairaland.

Our engine oil is the most affordable product around. We have beat countless competitors on these platform. So all these things plays into why we are always out of stock for Mobil 1 Extended Performance.
And sir this is why we decided to introduce super Tech Advance. We wanted to offer a great alternative to Mobil 1 Extended Performance. Which is doing great among our old and new customers. We encourage you sir to give it short.........


We thank you sir for your honest reviews and we will look for ways to improve and exceed customers experience with us........we thank you sir

Hello guys good morning
I’m using Avalon 2014

The car engine oil is 0W20 that what they wrote on top of the engine cover but I am using 5W30 on it I want to know if it’s ok to us or I use the 0W20 they wrote on the cover
Why is it hard for people to follow directions.. Oil cover says 0w20.. Who is giving u advice to use 5w30.

Are u aware that some cars now like 2021 Toyota Camry uses 0w16. And people will say that the oil is too thing .. And meanwhile the engine and oil pump is design specifically to take 0w16.. This is how people damage their engine........

Check my signature and profile . And check to see how many times have complained or needing help to fix my own personal cars.........

The cost of tokunbo engines are pretty high now ... This is the time that u need to care for ur car ..........


I will not contribute to your post anymore... Good luck

What is wrong with a 4 cylinder carry?
Those camry 07 to 10 are factory defect engine. They are known to short oil at a higher rate than normal. They had a recall due to bad pistons .. V6 have no oil shorten issues...........

So this is why Mr. Bazz001 is using thicker oil , thicker oil does not fix the problem it just puts a bandaid on it ......

Oga how much is Mobil xhp compared to Mobil 1 or super Tech ?
Xhp is now 10k for 5 liters
Mobil 1 = 35k

You mean I would have changed my oil 3 times while the person using Mobil 1 will change once ?

I don’t cover 2k miles in one month cos I’m not in ants league and not on rentals.

Your Hoodlum drivers covers 2k miles cos they need to deliver and have change.
1. Sir you are misinformed..... We at dru23 sell our Mobil 1 Extended Performance for 25k naira, but others sell at 30k Naira ..... Super Tech Advance is @ 22500k Naira....

Both of these oil are good for 10k miles oil change regardless of driving conditions.... Either way Sir, you still saving money, especially on labour for Oil change via mechanic. That is roughly 3k naira, unless you change ur own oil . regardless you save money in the long run ............for obvious reasons it is still too late for you to go back to the recommended oil for your limca , sorry I meant lemon , sorry bro I meant camry. Your 2007 camry rhymes with lemon and limca ...

Mobil xhp now in 5ltrs -10k
You snap the oyel gallon.. Shame no let you snap that oil sipping, v4, factory defect, reject camry of urs..... tongue

Abi Lagos State task impound am ...

Now jokes apart.......

Since you are using xhp 20w50, it means you need to be changing your oil every 3k miles..Since you are doing uber, an uber driver covers at least 2k miles every month..

So technically you should be changing ur oil every month or so . so let's say every 2 months..... In essence its either your wasting money or ur engine is more than likely ur engine has a huge amount of sludge.... Either sludge or wasting money, 1 thing has to be happen......

Now if your camry was not a factory reject .. You could have use full synthetic like Mobil 1 Extended Performance or Super Tech Advance and do oil change every 10k miles..... And in the process save ur self money and time......


A lesson to all reading this. Before buying a car do your research . You might think u getting a good deal on car, but in the long run you paying more.........
