GAZZUZZ:
You are fine, i will suggest you start and stick with 5w30 due to vehicle age.

Thanks Boss, you are super wonderful. Following your tips on getting a good naija used car never left me regretful. Since I got my 07 DC, its a wowwww never spent a dime aside servicing and small dent from this keke people. Big thanks to you bro (and many other contributors on nairaland) and glory to God.

GAZZUZZ:
what was the nairalander using ?

He said he used Mobil-1 when asked, that was when I asked him before the first service done on the car.

Good evening all, I want to appreciate everyone on this thread for their wealth of experience shared and most especially GAZZUZZ for creating the thread and ensuring that all issues raised get response. The experience gotten from this thread and other threads on nairaland with the help of God helped me to get a super neat car from a fellow Nairalander (An Honda Accord DC Naija used). Its been joy since I bought it.
But something is giving a serious concern, I bought the car nine months ago during COVID-19 as at then Mobil 5w20 was not in the market and I needed to service it, so my mechanic sudgested I use Mobil 20w50 which I opted for as the car was very due for service. I had serviced it twice after that using same oil (20w50) though at lower milage put on it (first @ 500+ mile and second @ about 1000 mile ) because I service it at exactly 3 months interval. I bought it with 160,000miles on it and a had only put like 2500miles on it.
The issue now is that I want to go back to its recomended oil, is it safe to do that at this point owing to the fact that I have only used 20w50 for nine months.
Let me stress that the engine is still rock solid still drips water @ exust and no issue at all.
pls I need your advice on this profs in the house so that I did not shoot myself on the foot. Thanks
