GAZZUZZ thanks for the info. If I use Full synthetic, how long till the next oil change?

lapazi:
Hello Gazzuzz, I need your urgent advise, im having gear box issue with a toyota solara 2000 (Sienna Engine v6) car.

The gear does not shift to Drive even after raving, but shifts perfectly well to Reverse.

A gear master advised I changed the "varbody" of the gear. After doing that the issue still persist and even got worse as it no longer enters shift to Reverse.

I'm considering changing the entire gear box, however i would like to get your input on this.


This is the first time it occurred and the issue escalated immediately.

@Oga Gazzuzz, I use a 2006 Peugeot 206. I had a timing belt cut incident with my engine, my mechanic worked on it and I used it for a year and a half more before it starting smoking and eventually packed up.

Now, 2 months ago, I bought another engine, Tokunbo from Ladipo with a Citroen Sticker on it. It was fixed and I used Total Quartz 7000 for it. That's the first oil. My next servicing is next month and I plan to drain that oil (Quartz 7000) and put Quartz 9000 which is full synthetic oil.

My strategy is to use that 7000 to flush the engine and the use 9000 permanently as service oil for the car.

I'm I making the right decision?

Thanks as you respond.

See advice to Gazzuzz

Thugaa:
You sell full synthetic and you are a mechanic, so? My Bro thats just a phrase you kept repeating to give credence to your misguiding post. you are in no way an authority and there are many more experienced mechanics than you think you are who would never make claim of what you saying. Switching to full synthetic oil no matter how long you have been using mineral oil is perfectly acceptable, you just have to service more regularly at the beggining of the switch to allow the full synthetic oil to remove the sludge from your engine.

Am sure you don't know the things synthetic oil does. First, which synthetic oil are you using? Are you talking about Oando, Conoil etc synthetic oils. Synthetic oils have grades and I will not encourage anyone to use such substandard synthetic oils for their cars. These Oando and the likes import substandard oils abroad and sell. Try Mobil 1 synthetic oil or any good American version of synthetic oil to see the difference. Please note you are advised to use high mileage synthetic oil for cars with more than 75,000 miles to prevent oil leaks. I use high mileage MOBIL 1 USA synthetic oil and this takes my car to an average of 4000 to 6000 km or up to six months before I do any oil change. My mechanic also said he doesn't like synthetic oils because of some problems like you said. To be honest, you cannot compare Mobil 1 Nigeria engine oils to Mobil 1 USA engine oils. The difference is clear. ..and please make sure you are using the right viscosity grade engine oils for your car. Most mechanic use and recommend Mobil 20w 50 which most passenger cars and SUVs from 1990 to date do not recommend. Also for excessive engine sludge you are expected to reduce the engine oil change interval.
