To read is one thing, to understand is a completely different thing. You dear sir are an irredeemable olodo

Eddee:
Surprise, surprise- the chief proponent of integrity for oil and car sales finally coming out of the closet. You should bury your head in the sand in shame, you’ve admitted to defrauding someone who trusted you. Well, Nemo dat quod non habet!

Bigsunny01:

zabimaru:
He obviously ignores such threads.

An arrogant fraudster, sometimes i wish we had laws that can hunt for such people and put them in their place.

zabimaru:
Ok.

But for what it's worth, valarinz has never claimed to be blameless and spotless like you. Its just sad that you are no different from the rest.

I'm sure you still sell genuine oils because I'm pretty certain when you eventually start producing synthetic oils in your backyard by mixing different mineral blends and resealing, you will not be sensible enough to keep it away from the public.

At least we can bank on that.

Just another Nigerian Fraudulent dealer like the rest of them.

Pueeehhh.

zabimaru:
We will ignore you but I implore you to perform due diligence when dealing with dru.
If possible taste the synthetic oil before pouring in your engine, it might be POWER oil mixed with grease.

zabimaru:
Nice one bro, why I'm so concerned is how someone can be caught in the act and be so arrogant, how annoying is that?

Talking about someone that actually tries his best by purchasing tokunbo engines in his tokunbo vehicles, can dru do that?

Lemme not bore you, i await the fraud to return from church I assume his absence here means this since he has very itchy fingers). I have a few questions I need to ask him.

Enjoy your viewing bro

He was trying to make a failed point, which I didn’t even understand so I ignored. How’s installing a Tokunbo engine on a car bad, in fact that’s the closest in reliability to buying a direct foreign used car. I bought similar Camry In 2018 like Dru23 described. Car kept shutting oil, Kept spending money on mechanics removing my engine and looking for leaks till I ended up buying a Tokunbo engine and had peace of mind.

GAZZUZZ:
Mobil1 engine oil USA specs available.

You know where to find me

Conner44:
Do you know that this same 20w50 oil you’re bad mouthing has its full synthetic versions from most major oil brands like Mobil. Valvoline. Liquimoly. etc? If you use that oil weight in a country that never sees very cold weather your engine will be fine although some newer engines from 2010 above tended to have tighter tolerances in oil passages and recommended lighter weight oils exclusively in their manuals.

True story my dad purchased a new car back in 2005 and after the first year warranty changes at the dealership he started using Mobil XHP and changed it religiously every 4-5k kms or twice a year and till date that engine has never consumed a drop of oil, has no sludge, never smoked or developed any issue. When he wants to change the oil it would still look amber/golden as if the oil had never even been used. His mechanic takes it to use in his generator. It’s a toyota 2RZ EFI engine that has been using Mobil super XHP 20w50 conventional oil for 15 years till today.

Even i myself that uses synthetic 5w30 my oil must be black by 5k kms when I’m supposed to change it out so I believe in everything concerning vehicles timely maintenance is key.

demolagilbert:
So much vawulence in this thread *grinning*

Well, I have a low mileage 2010 Honda Civic that doesn't short oil for those looking for something fuel efficient. Check profile for pics and details

Na wow, Dru in the mud

olumzzz:
Mr Andrew, pls don't go this route.
You made a mistake then peeps here pointed it out to you.
Just own it and move on instead of throwing jabs.
The op raised an issue, you started talking about 20w50 oyel.
You didn't even address the issue at hand.
This thread isn't a 20w50 or 5w30 debate group.

Oil has dried in his engine, what should he do?

GAZZUZZ:
This is so sad.



Where do Foreign used parts popularly called tokumbor come from?

They are mostly parts from accidented and salvaged vehicles from Europe, Canada and Japan, USA . Etc

The only reason why most people sell used cars with mechanical issues in the USA is because of the cost of LABOUR! Labour is cheap here in Nigeria and so you can buy a Camry with a bad engine for 1000 bucks, ship it real cheap here.

Buying tokumbor engines is even a good thing since you didn't say he repaired them.

valarinz:
Very chilled beer for you.

Lizarazzu:
Here to read comments,oga dru I am saying hello from this side.

GAZZUZZ:
Threats and blackmail seem to be your modus operandi.

xperiencelove:
As much as you owns your car, I am talking from experience. Last year December, Dec 22 precisely, I bought a green colour Camry 03 from someone that needs some cash and the person uses 20W50. As at then, I already owned a gold colour big daddy which I bought in 2019 as toks which I have been using 5W30 full synthetic oil and I change it twice a year.
A day after Easter Monday this year, the green color oil pump failed and spoilt the metal bearing. From my research and some technicians verdicts, the thicker the oil, the more power and force it requires for oil pump to pump the oil. I repaired it and sold it on July 9th and bought Camry 2012 that is on Castrol 5W30 full synthetic.
The gold Camry is V6 VVTi, cool as ever, 5W30 lubricate well than 20W50, I have never add any fluid including coolant since I have bought it and it is the car I travels with which is the reason I bought V6 and I lives in Ibadan but works in Lagos Island.
So whether you change the oil even 2k miles or 500miles, that oil is too tick for Camry 03 and upward oil pump.
It is the oil pump weakness that mostly damage engine parts especially crankshaft and metal bearings because they won't get enough lubrication.
The Mobil 1 full synthetic 5US Quartz I uses is 23k as at last month from Jumia and I change it at least twice a year. I do accrue minimum of 10k miles in a year. Calculate the amount you will spend in a year on thicker oil and calculate mine and see who saves more.

GAZZUZZ:
Dru23 See how it is done easily, nairaland still bought it.

valarinz:
Ok, Oga Oil hawker aka shady dealer, your incoherent responses is enough for me now, the punch has been well dished out and well received, time for me to allow you to ramble and lament in peace, till next time

valarinz:
I can tell you for free, i have never and will never do what that guy did, im an active dealer and you can imagine I'm not afraid to challenge dru on a public forum, check how long I've been in the biz and check if anyone has opened a single thread on NL to complain i defrauded them

That said, if you are new to NL just sit back and don't dabble, obviously I'm putting on the heat cos of the person involved, if there's one thing he's good at, its to always insult Nigerians and calling us quacks, shady, incompetent, dubious, lazy and manners or negative words.

Now its interesting to note that our dear angel is worse than what he always calls us

valarinz:
My brother, it slipped out, he didn't "tell" that part voluntarily

Let me hint you, the idea was to kind of paint a scenario where 20W50 oil is vilified to validate his current synthetic oil sales drive, it's terribly backfired, he didnt think it through thoroughly and i bet he wishes he can take it back now

So stop saying it like the guy was honest and courageous enough to tell us what he did wrong, ok?

valarinz:
Whats he minding me for, how about you say something that makes it even look like you have a little remorse for being a fraud and yet bragging about it on a public forum

Posting memes and trying to change topics is not a sign of intelligence, its the opposite actually

socialmerchant:
I see some guys dragging dru23 as if they haven’t done worse. We are only knowing about his own past because he revealed it.
How many of you guys are bold enough to reveal bad things they’ve done in the past on a platform like this?
You all should rest ABEG

valarinz:
Oga dru, you will not successfully change the topic, let's discuss this

Its weekend obviously, I have some spare time too, so i want to discuss this your wickedness to your countryman cos you wan sell naija used Toyota, have you no shame? Should i buy you some?

asomix22:
Good evening.
I changed my Honda Accord Engine this year. After about 2 months coming back from a road trip, the engine knocked. A mechanic said the knock is due to the oil pump not supplying.

I got a new engine 2 weeks afters and in less than two weeks, i was hearing a noise from the car, so i chacked and someone said its the adjuster that is making noise.

The mechanic now came to pick the car with thr hope of changing the adjuster. After changing it, the noise persisted. That lead to the mechanic checking the engine and upon checking, the Camshaft was bad. Again, the mechanic said the oil pump failed and that was what led to the damage.

I will like to understand the likely cause. Two engines in less than 4 months.

Please note that i used different mechanics to install the two engines.

These brands are not readily available in Ibadan. Thats my issue!
