timenamoney:
0) check your car engine oil chart diagram for recommendation of different hot ambient temp , or CONPACTABlE with Lagos temp
1) 20w50 SYNTHETIC is not wrong and will flow better than 20w50 MINERAL oil, giving you some percentage of fuel economy too plus good protection
2) depending on your usage and state temp ,30w for +38 and below , 40w may protect all the way up to +48 to +50degr and have more fuel economy than 50w but will never damage your engine
3)you may start checking your ( mpg ) to know your fuel usage and a ( UOI ) to know engine wear , tear ,or Shear ratio with 20w50 synthetic compared to the 5w30 you may use later
but I bet it only fuel economy u may observe and higher wear with 30w in hot temp above +38 degree

also note that there are many factors that improve fuel economy
1)u most use a themostat to regulates proper engine temp, without the fans running continuesly like many owners do and set up by default to run at 100degr only , it also helps the engine oil to reach operating temp quickly
2) the coolant temperature sensor must perform properly, so it can send signal to the ECU (car computer) that engine temperature is optimal for better performance
3) the O2 sensor must be performing properly to send signal to the ECU about the already burnt fuel and air ratio so that the injectors can limit it's fuel supply for CLOSE LOOP operation, note if coolant temperature sensor read lower temperature always the engine will continuesly running in OPEN LOOP operation and consume more fuel
4) weel aliment and tier air pressure etc.
5) driving habits ,loads etc.
Thanks so much for the info though to be sincere I barely comprehend half of it because of the terminologies.
I marvel at how people like u understand car anatomy this much just as I am familiar with human anatomy which is my line of work.
Please enlighten me more about the mpg and UOI for fuel economy and car wearing, thanks.

Thanks so much for the enlightenment guys.
So judging from ur analysis, what oil specification would u recommend for a Toyota camry 2005 being used in Lagos?
Mind u, I presently have 20w50 there (synthetic), the dealer used that to service it as the car recently arrived. Guys on nairaland have scared the hell out of me telling to go drain or and use the 5w30 recommended which I planned doing in few weeks time until I came across this thread.
I also crave for good fuel economy.
Moreso, what does APL, XHP, GSX etc mean and which one will be most suitable for my car?

GAZZUZZ:
Any one, not necessarily an electrician
Chief, Pls help recommend the brand of engine oil for my big daddy toyota 2005.
The dealer that brought it about 3 months ago serviced it with one fanfaro oil 20w50 as he claims it is very good. I however later discovered that the recommended is 5w30 and I'll be changing the oil in few months time. I want to revert to the recommended standard but I want someone experienced to recommend a reliable brand of oil for me.

Omotakins:
thank God he did that eventually. This is what he ought to have done ab initio. I hope this latest action will be enough te remedy his somewhat tainted image.
No it won't remedy his image, that guy is an arrogant fool. Imagine he was absent for weeks after the op brought his case to this forum and many sat on the fence waiting to hear his side of the story. People didn't judge and gave him the benefit of doubt despite many others emerging to share their ugly experience with him.
Only for the guy to show up weeks later, scribbled a word or two and jetted out of the thread telling the op to politely address him privately, expecting some kinda apology. He is mad.

Sam, this transaction was started under an atmosphere of trust and harmony between us personally & not here and i committed myself to it wholeheartedly and still do and that much you know. Everything that needed to be done i did and still intend to do.
Your turn in manner of communication necessitated the posture i adopted and anytime you return to how we started, i will equally do the same and make sure you have a functional vehicle and gear.
Guy shut the Bleep up, u arrogant brat.
U can manoeuvre the op as u like because his money is at stake, but know that nairalanders now know for sure who u truly are.
Car Talk › Re: My Terrible Experience With Luvinhubby by heykims(m): 12:26pm On Oct 04, 2020
Mr luvinhubby, abeg do the needful.
We have all waited patiently for weeks to hear ur side of the story. Now that u have narrated it remorselessly and arrogantly, it didn't appeal to our ears.
Don't let it degenerate to the level that we act in solidarity to the op and start calling thief in all threads in this section. Ogbeni, refund person money.
My condolences to those that were supporting before u appeared, nakoks and co will be disappointed right now.

It was exam period then and I was going to write my paper in 100level. I saw my level mate neighbour going to town and I was wondering why she was not writing exam. I shrugged it off sha because I knew we are in Nigeria, she likely had an alternative route to writing and passing.
