Mobil 1 local is made for fuel and Diesel cars while the Mobil 1 US is for gasoline engine only. So if your car states that you should use gasoline engine oil only, go for the US spec but while I was using Mobil 1 US, I recall that they have specific engine oil for Honda, Toyota and Nissan cars only. Because you can't use extended performance on a Toyota, it's not meant for it. We have also Mobil 1 US for Mercedes Benz 0w40 and so it is not every Mobil 1 that is good for your car. The Nigerian Mobil 1 0w40 is petrol and Diesel while the US is for gasoline engine only. It's good for people to ask questions about the oil we use because mechanics like me are not really happy that easily avoidable errors will make a car owner to spend millions to fix a car destroyed by engine oil. * I also don't want to believe that your 2009 Sienna will be asking for 5w30. It is either 5w20 or 0w20

Hello, i am of assumption your last line might be WRONG ! It's boldly written in car manual & engine cover . Sienna '09 limited AWD uses 5w30. We finally opted in for Toyota 5w30 fully synthetic engine oil alongside Toyota WS ATF based on OEM specifications

think twice before you use hardex, look into that thread sha

Thanks a lot for the info .. I was lucky someone else advised me against that & recommended a Toyota engine oil source and WS

theoilguy:
We have Mobil 5w20 extended performance USA in stock for 18,000 naira only.. good for 6 months or thereabouts.

Contact on signature .

Ok but you didn't post pictures ? My manual also states 5w-30

nurey:
I have never used semi-synthetic oil before but it cannot be ran like a synthetic oil, collective agreement is to take it like a conventional oil running it 5k km or 3 to 4months which ever comes first.

As for the promo Mobil you snapped I don't know much about it we never made head or tail about the product and our chief oil expert sooperrescue hasn't said anything concerning it.

Thanks very much .. I will be using a fully synthetic oil as discussed..A pal recommended hardex brand which he has been using without issues!
I will eventually weigh between various brand options

kingreign:
It was all spelt here.
Well, it's okay!

Yes, it's an open discussion forum as usual for information sharing and I observed neither synthetic nor semi synthetic was written in car manual as Nurey posted.. Don't get offended in ones personal research as i meant no harm

kingreign:
You keep asking this questions up-and-down despite my response to you with good quality samples of oils and products to use. It's spamming of the thread and also it shows you're unappreciative of my answer as it's a waste of my time sharing my knowledge and experience.

Hello, I don't really understand as that might be in another thread and your reply wasn't a waste ! I quoted Nurey response here for personal research sake ! Thanks

nurey:
Any synthetic 5w30 from a reliable manufacturer Mobil, Castrol etc will do your engine good, the weight "5w30" is the most important thing

Your gear oil is Toyota WS and you will require 5qts for a drain and refill that's about 4.X litres.

Axle oil is 80w90 you need 1L of that I have screen shot an excerpt from the owners manual for that

Okay thanks .. I observed that Mobil 1 is sold above 20k but I also noticed a semi-synthetic 5w 30 Mobil oil. Can I use any of them ? See attached pics

Hello, what engine oil"5w 30" , gear oil "ws" & axle oils do you advice on a sienna awd 09 model ? I didn't also see in the car manual if engine oil must be fully synthetic or semi synthetic , pls advice ?

Hello, what engine oil"5w 30" , gear oil "ws" & axle oils do you advice on a sienna awd 09 model ? I didn't also see in the car manual if engine oil must be fully synthetic or semi synthetic , pls advice ?

nurey:
1. What grade of oil (xWxx) and brand are you using.
2. Is your car smoking if yes, what type of smoke color can you observe.
3. When you open your bonnet, do you notice oil around engine bay? , a clear pix of that could be useful.
4. Early in the morning go to where the car is parked observe the floor and see if you can see oil stains/pool there.
5. Is your check engine light on. If you don't know what I mean by that, start your car, while the car is running snap a clear pix of the dash board and post.
6. Online car diagnosis can only point a path to take to solve a problem, you will need a good mechanic that knows onion from garlic to physically check the car.

Toyota genuine automatic transmission fluid type WS.

As for your AWD differentials, you need Hypoid gear oil with an API GL-5 rating. 75W90

You can get Toyota differential gear oil API GL5 75W90
And you can get total hypoid gear oil 75W90

Thanks! What's difference between the mobil semi-synthetic & the full synthetic pls ?

As for gear oil, I saw WS carved on it's dipstick .. my vehicle is an AWD version , which exactly do I use and where do I get it around Lagos State ? Cost guides will be appreciated

MOTIONTECH:

bravolad:
I think you need to be more specific when you talk about fuel consumption. Besides, with engine configuration and size of a vehicle, fuel consumption is relative. Driving conditions and state of the vehicle also impact on fuel fuel consumption. You can not discuss it in isolation.

However, as been observed, what model of the Toyota Sienna are you looking at? The models range from 1998 - 2002, 2003/4 - 2010, 2011 - date with different engine capacity, body and mpg. If you are expecting a Camry mpg, look else where. But I can assure you of its ruggedity, reliability and performance compensate for whatever you spend on fuel. It's a beast on the motorway. If properly maintained, you will enjoy it for a very long time.

I will give a specific review if I know what model you plan to buy.

Hello,pls kindly advice if to go for sienna 2008 or 2009 xle limited with AWD feature or without considering stories I hear about 24hrs function of awd models and maintenance issues ?
