abeg close eye and pamper that ride. and also pay attention to the quality of oil filter you use. doesnt make sense buying synthetic oil and den using fake/low quality oil filter with it. doesnt help at all. using top quality oil filter ensure that dirts in the oil are removed in order to ensure clean oil circulates within the engine and also during cold start that oil gets to circulate within the engine faster...

thanks alot...I do appreciate

OgaKazeem:
bro... its a 2006 Acura MDX...

I'll close eye buy am..tnks

OgaKazeem:
i will suggest you service with synthetic. it might seem expensive but truth is it offers the higher chance of getting the best out of that engine and even prolonging its life. synthetic oils have additives and detergents that help improve performance, engine protection and clean deposits within the engine.

thank you ...I really appreciate your contribution

OgaKazeem:

Oga use synthetic oil. The oil spec you should use can be found in the owner's manual for your car.

thank you...I do appreciate.

AshipaEk0:
Didn't know there was a rule that one must destroy any vehicle that one buys and that's it's a crime to have a car for 10 years or more.


Very foolish Nigerian mentality. If na so Oyinbo dey think, you for see Tokunbo buy?



@op fully synthetic oil is better than conventional oil. No contest.

For advanced engines like that Audi, definitely preferable. If you check the car manual, it's likely to be recommended.

It is extremely advisable if that's what the previous owners of that vehicle have been using.



However, like anything in the world, it's up to you. Na your money/pocket.


Conventional oil simply means you do oil changes at shorter intervals to be safe and increase the probability of having to buy a new engine sometime in the lifespan.

thank you...i just want to know if I would be doing my engine any harm if I use conventional oil

aaronson:
lie from the pit of hell. He is good to use sythetic oil provided he doesn't notice any significant amount of slugde build up already in the engine or excessive oil burn.

Op, Use sythetic oil for more protection, You still can use that car for another 10 years or more using synthetic oil.

I appreciate your advice..thank you

pussyeater:
Yep synthetic usually good for newer cars with vpower gasoline. Its up to you though if you're looking for high mileage, then go for synthetic

Thank you .

pussyeater:
Regular. Your motto na 13 yr old nah.
Synthetic na waste of money bra

thank you..but is your recommendation only based on the age of the car?

Please a good friend needs experts opinion on which of lexus Rx300 (2003),Mercedes ml 350(2003) and an Acura mdx (2006) should he settle for. He resides in lagos . Rough terrain. 2 to 3 days use in a week. Married with kids.not "too deep" pocket. Every advice would be cherished. Thank you.

please your advice,recommendations and "user experience"is still needed.

justiniyke29:
I have used the ml320 twice, and i can tell you its a wonderful car.
fuel consumption is okay for me, i do use a full tank to travel lagos to owerri on A.C.
The engine is perfect, and can never die.
The braking, movement and balance is excellent.
The only issue i had with one of them was the airflow meter, i changed it twice in 2years.

Price of parts is fair.
shocks- 22k tokumbo for a pair of front own.
i cant remember changing any other thing apart from filters and breakpads.

Thank you for the experience shared .Thanks

I believe so much on the expertise and the informed contributions on this forum;I'll wait patiently for contributions and advices from members.

seanfer:
Lexus is the best option. It’s the cheapest in terms of maintenance, availability of parts because it’s a Toyota brand. MDX follows.. the MB ML350 looks outdated. I will pick the Lexus 5 times before others

noted ...thank you

darelar:
The Lexus is cool ride and maintenance ok and rugged. Most especially the 03 in it's class. The interior is supperb and you'll love it. I think the ML consume fuel than the Lexus because I once enter a ML and the owner is talking about how much he spent on fuelling from Agbo to Lag. the Accura look cool too but I know nothing about it.

Thank you

darelar:
I'll go for Lexus or Accura. Just choice but can't really talk about the maintenance of ML or Accura except for the Lexus a bit.

thank you ..pls tell me about the lexus
