Thank you sir monk. But the oil that you are quoting is from the middle East. We have Total in Nigeria, I will suggest that you show us the video from Nigeria. I have told my secretary to read your posts on this thread where you condemned all the oils from Total stable just some years ago and you are now praising the ineos while Total is selling the Futures 0w20 in their outlets and you claimed that you are not aware of the oil. I have never claimed to be a Peugeot expert because it is hard to be one especially on a Peugeot

If that video and images I attached on that my posts are too hard for you to understand, then I honestly cannot level with you technically. For the information on that video and images concerning that oil, PSA engines and Nigeria are clearly stated on them in ABC (even the video clearly stated/showed Nigeria as one of the countries the oil is recommended for, for those PSA engines). Unless you suddenly considered Nigeria as the coldest country in the world. For gosh sake, the "HTC" on the oil stands for "High Temperature Countries". Maybe to you, Nigeria is hotter, dustier and hasher than deserts/middle East? Or to you, Nigeria weather is too cold and mild to use engine oil meant to handle hot weather, bad fuel and dusty environment?

Since I started breathing in this body and having memories, I have never set my eyes physically on any Total oil with 0w-20 label. Why is that a problem to you? If it exists in Lagos, does it mean it's here in Abuja city too and that I must have seen it and lying about it? Why don't you tell us where it exists in Total fuel stations in Abuja city? My average visit to Total fuel station weekly is once or twice and I haven't seen that oil or one caught my attention. And if even if they do exist here, it's meaningless to me, for no modern Peugeot petrol engine is recommended to use any 0w-20, irrespective of oil brand. So why should I care?

As for you saying I condemned all Total oils before, I am wondering if you are mistaken me for someone else or you have shown me the other side of you I didn't know was there. Majority of my haters on Car Talk do so because of my love and promotion of French cars (Peugeot) and French Oils (Total), because of their hatred for these 2 brands. And you are here saying the opposite (I was condemning what they hated me for?). You could as well claim I was condemning all Peugeot vehicles to sweeten your claim.

I recalled publishing that THP Peugeot engine users should avoid using Total Quartz INEO MC3 5w-30 in their engines, since Peugeot/PSA didn't recommend that oil for those THP engines. It's that what you considered as "Lion King was condemning Total INEO oils"? So to you, any oil with Total label can be used in Peugeot or is good for Peugeot? Total INEO is a series of about 15 different engine oils from Total, out of which only about 4 of them were approved by Peugeot/PSA to be used in their THP, EP6, VTi ,etc, engines. So my advice to people not to use these Total oils that are not recommended for
those Peugeot engines, meant to you that I was condemning Total oils? Or you meant my posts, articles, videos and my other publications where I strongly advised people not to use Total Quartz 5000 20w-50 in their modern PSA engines, meant to you I was condemning Total oils?

Like I said, I don't think I can level with you technically, especially on PSA vehicles. Moving on.

Lion king, good evening. This your new love for Ineos is outstanding. If I have the time, I will look for your post where you condemned the oils that Total currently sells. Peugeot 3008 recommended oil is Total activa, ditto the 508, I used to go to Oluwalogbon motors in Alausa and when I asked them where to find the oil, they said that the car must be brought to the dealership before the oil can be used. Google the oil requirements for the Peugeot 3008 and tell us if it is the same with Ineos. Mobil 1 esp has a higher recommendation than the Ineos and if you claim that you have not seen the 0w20 variant of Total, go to their Abuja office or come to Total at Sheraton and you will get it there.

Like I said earlier, you are not a Peugeot expert/specialist or understand Peugeot systems and their fluid recommendations. All you needed to do was listen to a Peugeot expert (Me) educating you rather than argue what you don't understand.

This is the Peugeot 3008 you claimed is not recommended for INEO HTC 5w-30, unless you want also want to tell me Nigeria is hotter and dustier than Middle East.

Attached below are service schedules from Peugeot (PSA) for Peugeot 508, 3008 and other lions with THP engines in Nigeria you claimed are not recommended for Total Quartz INEO HTC 5w-30.

If you are interested, you can contact me off the forum via WhatsApp to educate you on PSA fluid recommendations (I have your WhatsApp line already).

Oil vs ambient temperature

Any Peugeot user (newest Lions) that follow your advice or the table you posted, will doom his/her lion engine. You need to be specific and not generalize. And you also need to update your knowledge on newer engine oils.

5w-30 of 10 or 15 years ago is not the same with recently introduced 5w-30. Oil technology has changed over time, including Engines. And oil tables/graphs of 30 or 15 years ago donnot apply on newer engines launched or introduced yesterday or recently, at least, as far PSA engines are concerned.

Total Quartz INEO HTC 5w-30 also serve as 5w-50/60 on specific Peugeot engines, which has been proven after various test carried out practically (offline) to disprove or confirm the claim.

So many wrong information on engine oils are being passed/shared on Nairaland (Car Talk) by some "Experts", encouraging people to keep ruining their engines/vehicles. There is nothing wrong if you can't afford recommended oils for your vehicle engines and transmissions, if they are too expensive for you. But rationalising it to justify why the abuse is good is what I have observed from this Car Talk from people I expected to know better.

Hundreds, if not thousands of used engines and transmissions are imported into Nigeria weekly (tokunbo). And the number keeps increasing weekly as demand keep increasing, considering how many Nigerians replace their engines and auto Gearboxes daily. As if that's not enough, people are here encouraging the cause, in the name of oil experts. Oil is not the only thing that kill engines or/and transmissions in Nigeria, but is the major contributor, followed by abused cooling systems, etc.

If you want to keep ruining your engines, it's not my responsibility to stop you. If you prefer otherwise, find out what your vehicle manufacturer says about it, including the updated recommendations from them, as new oils are introduced by oil manufacturers. Car manufacturers are not absolute right in everything in their vehicles. But they have better "experts", equipments and tools to understand what works best in their engines than you spewing opinions as an authority.

sooperrescue:
If I may recall, the new 508 and 3008 turbo boost, the oil that is recommended for both cars by Peugeot is Total Activa, so ineos can not be the oil solution for Peugeot.

That's not correct. You do understand I specialise in Peugeot? I don't do theories or hearsay when it comes to Peugeot.

I can understand you don't understand Peugeot at all, including their recommendations and practicality (online opinions and offline experiences from users/repairers).

Lion King - Monk.

Great info for all Peugeot owners. Have you seen the 0w20 variant from Total and what is the vehicles that it is recommended for?

I haven't seen the Total 0w20, yet. However, I do know no modern Peugeot petrol engine is recommended by Peugeot to use 0w20 oil grade. So I would advise any Peugeot user to stay clear of any 0w20 oil, no matter the oil brand.

Today, I paid for/purchased this clean non-abused Nigerian used Peugeot 406 Auto for a client from another client. Both clients (previous owner & new owner) are happy with the price/sale.

YEEHAW! AT LAST, A 6-SPEED STICK-SHIFT PEUGEOT 607 PHASE II Z9 V6 PETROL.

Yes, my Z9 not only possibly the only Stick-Shift V6 petrol that exist or ever existed in the world, but also a 6-speed Stick-Shift V6 Z9 ever. He is now more sporty and more fun (thanks to the shorter gear ratios), as rpm climbs to red zone quicker when on fun drive (have zero interest on fuel economy attached to the gearbox).

THE MAKING:
The original project which started in January 2020 was to transform the lion into a 6-speed Stick-Shift maniac. But as getting a factory already made gearbox was hard and taking too long to find, I modified the project to be a 6-speed Stick-Shift conversion that can work with available 5-speed Stick-Shift gearbox. So that whenever I find the 6sp, I will swap the gearbox without changing any other ( or less) component. So, I successfully did it by May 2020 and the lion was transformed to what I want.

By November, I commenced search for the 6sp box the 2nd time. This time, I also decided to include another option, (if possible, to create a 6sp Stick-Shift gearbox that could work with the current systems in the vehicle, apart from the already made factory one. The research took about 3 weeks to conclude, which I was convinced to go with the option 2. Of all the gearboxes I researched on, only 2 have internal & external components I can interchange to create one 6-speed Stick-Shift gearbox out of the two and that will also work perfectly with the current manual gearbox components on the lion without need to replace anything other than the gearbox, as intended.

I purchased one of the gearboxes needed for the small project/research, while the 2nd gearbox for the project was donated to me. Likewise, my research proved that I will have to modify one of the current clutch components on the lion for the gearbox I intended to create to work with the entire clutch systems, gearbox and the engine. I sourced for what I needed to do the clutch modifications and interestingly, were donated to me as well.

Long story short, both gearboxes were opened and necessary parts were swapped to form another gearbox out of the two. Likewise, i modified and created one clutch disc out of two clutch discs that work with both gearboxes gathered for the project (used about 4 discs for the experiment and chose the best one that turned out perfect).

I swapped the newly created 6-speed Stick-Shift gearbox with the 5-speed Stick-Shift box in the car, including the clutch disc. And the dream became a reality.

APPRECIATION :
I thank and appreciate Mr David (a client) that donated one of the gearboxes as contribution to the project. I also appreciate the 2 Peugeot part dealers (Mr Chika & Mr Tochukwu) that donated 2 clutch discs for the project, which they both said was a "crazy idea", but wanted to help me succeed since they already know what I am capable of. I also appreciate other few people that contributed positively to the project, both offline and online.

CONCLUSION :
Like I said earlier, no one is stopping or preventing you from Living Your Dreams. You can choose to blame the government, a thing, conditions or people as hindrance or reasons why you can't live that dream. Or you can roll up your sleeves and make that happen, by making the best use of what you have, able, capable or capacity in your control to make it happen. You can choose public opinions, people's acceptance or external validations before you consider your wants/desires to go for that have nothing to do with anyone else. Or you can cut off all the noise, distractions, naysayers, haters and turn negatives around you to positives for yourself, the best you can. No moment repeat itself or goes back. You either make the next one count for you or you let it become a waste like previous ones which you can never get back, as you near your grave or last breath in this physical life. Your positive desires or wants are being inspired internally for your own happiness or wellbeing, no matter how crazy other people think they are. You can choose to let majority of people kill those dreams that meant to benefit you. Or you can choose to discuss that only with one or few individuals (if you have to) you know will add value to those positive wants, desires or ideas you received within for a reason, even if you are not capable to turn them into a reality at the time.

My Z9 Conversion Project to 5-speed and finally 6-speed Stick-Shift is not the craziest conversion ever done in the world. But this is a car that is hated so much by majority of human beings on this earth, and mine has become an icon which proves them wrong. Naysayers and haters have been in all spiritual books I have come across. You are the fool to allow them make you a victim.

If I could do it, anyone else can, depending on how bad you want what you want.

If I could be enjoying my Peugeot 607 Phase II, anyone else can, depending on how mature or immature you are when making life choices and decisions, by making them yourself or letting other people do it for you.

My Z9 V6 Stick-Shift Conversion Project is finally concluded and closed.

My favourite Lion for long journeys, rough roads, etc.

Spent about an hour on this very road today, without even remembering that bad road conditions are bad for cars. A big relief!

Lion King - Monk.

Somewhere in Abuja last weekend. I have done so many remote & urban waka-waka with this lion since he roared back to life days ago and I am enjoying the experience which I have missed so much.

Lion King - Monk.

Soon (this year), I will begin Conversion of Peugeot 407 V6 Auto to Stick-Shift for people who are interested. But you have to be willing to spend with your heart, not with your head, for it's not a plug & play conversion (the conversion must be to my standard, not sub-standard or abuse of Lions in the name of conversion).

Stay tuned!

END OF MY PEUGEOT 505 NEW XN1A CONVERSION PROJECT.

Today, 28/12/2020, marks the end of the project which I started in early January 2020 (Lasted 12 months), after installing AC components today, recharged the system which now chills very cold as before with the previous V6 engine (Power Steering components were installed last week though).

I found myself beating my chest this evening, shouting "YES, I DID IT!" All it took me was to desire/want it, cut off distractions and gave the project undivided attention and it became a reality, just like my other successful concluded projects. My last breath will be my happiest moment, for it has been a fulfilled life.

- Will clean up the lion's interior of packs, boxes & plastic bags of parts used on the project.

- Will take my time to choose a good painter for a quality body paint on the lion and also change the interior to quality leather.

- The lion recently started emitting black smoke which I wasn't surprised, considering the brand new 34-34 Z1 double Carb was sitting, collecting dust for about 15 years before I made the purchase. It's expected the fuel passages could be clogged. Will make out Time and set the carb apart and do the expected which I am good at during my 504 GL days (I still miss the 32-35 MIMSA double Carb I had in my previous 504 GL. Hope to come across a good/new one someday soon and make it mine).

One of the rear brake calipers started binding today, after using the handbrake on several occasions last week. It's expected, considering how long the lion has been parked. Will service the affected or all calipers, as day goes by.

- The used I-4 PAS pump mounted has been acting up most times since I mounted it last week. The dealer I got it from is searching for another good one for replacement.

- Is time to now neatly pack/arrange the new wiring harnesses/connections I created for the new systems I swapped in, since every connection works perfectly as I intended while creating them.

- Special thanks and appreciation go to Chadi Magdi (Egypt), Salman Al Halaby (Australia) & Rabin Rutten-James (Canada) who all shared their priceless knowledge on XN engines with me, to help with the project at the beginning of the project. All our discussions were noted and applied, which led to the success. Thank you.

I divided the project into two from the beginning. Part 1 has been concluded, which was to remove, assembled and swapped in a new XN1A Engine in my 505, including other components/parts that go with the new Engine. The Part II was to do a 504 GL V6 Stick-Shift Saloon Conversion Project (find and swap in V6 components removed from the 505 into a matched 504 designed to handle the V6 power). I am excitedly looking forward the day the 2nd part of the project will commence.

You are the only one stopping yourself from living your dreams. No one else is stopping you, unless you care about other people's opinions .

I have been driving my Z9 V6 Stick-Shift for 5 days now without visiting fuel station. This night, the fuel gauge caught my attention. The position of the indicator on the gauge was interesting, considering where it was 5 days ago when I drove out from Total fuel station. It was as if I was driving a 3-cylinder engine without touching accelerator pedal.

I set out to convert this lion to Stick-Shift (purely for spirited drives), but ended up gaining lower fuel consumption (even though I was ok with the higher fuel consumption when he had auto gearbox). Considering that my daily drive is about 80% fun drive (high rpm & hard braking), I now get to utilize the full Engine power with little fuel consumption. The world claimed "You Can't Eat Your Cake and Have It". I would tell them, "You haven't met my Z9."

The consumption has become so little like my D9 V6 Stick-Shift, even with the weight differences of both lions. The conversion transformed the lion to selfishly make me happier, beyond my expectations. My Z9 is likely the only Z9 V6 Stick-Shift (petrol) that exist and/or ever existed.

I have never given a rip to people's opinions when it comes to what I want for me. The outcome of My choice of cars, choice of powertrains & modifications I do on them have been some of the proofs that "thinking for myself" always work out for me.

Thank you Peugeot for making this wonderful vehicle that have been serving me so well (so trouble-free).

Update on my 505 Project:

The brand new Engine successfully assembled and swapped in, including the brand new Gearbox and brand new rear Differential I purchased for the project, among other parts. The major Electrical part of the conversion done too, while other parts of the conversion await for me to complete, soon.

As for the naysayers, envy ones and haters, continue to beat that drum as I continue to focus and manifest my desires.
