Be cautious though.

I checked the API website and found a notice about some products that "that are displaying the API engine oil certification marks without API's authorization. These oils have not been approved by API as meeting any API engine oil standard and are not eligible to display the API certification marks.".

The list of products is here:
https://www.api.org/products-and-services/engine-oil/unauthorized-use-of-api-certification-marks

My reading of the situation is that API focused on the US market. My guess is that API didn't want to take the time and trouble to go to China, Europe, the Americas and some parts of Africa to fish out products using the API certification without approval or authorization. It would probably have found several of such products in each of these markets.

Be cautious. If companies right there in the US can slap the API certification on their oil labels without approval/authorization, what will companies here do?

Good luck.

That’s crazy. A lot of the engine oils with API authentication seals on them are nothing short of fake.

What engine oil do you use?

Hardex gets a bad rep among some of the experts on here. I am not sure if it is deserved or not.

A guy at auto medics, Ikeja recommended Hardex. He said adulterated Mobil 1 is very available in the market compared to Hardex and I kind of agree with him cos most corner shops display Mobil 1 in their stalls and their authenticity can’t be guaranteed.

You may have just gotten a bad batch of Mobil 1...or your vehicle just burns Mobil 1. These things do happen sometimes.

Stick to the recommended viscosity and try another brand that meets (or exceeds) your vehicle's oil quality recommendations (API, ILSAC or ACEA). There are a few sellers on here who it seems import directly from overseas. You could give them a try. And...don't be afraid to try brands that aren't popular here. There are several solid motor oils that are not household names here...and they do the job just fine.

Good luck.

Hardex seems to be doing better than Mobile 1 which I have switched to. Still observing it though.

The progress of Lagos State has been a long journey, if your state governor has been redundant and you are now attracted to the development of Lagos State to claim it belongs to all then you are on a long thing.

What you'll fail to know is that we will colonised you, compel to to speak our language, change your culture, and reduce it to inferiority, you will abandon Isiala for gbegiri and ewedu, and you will get possessed that you won't be able to travel home for the festival.

But note that your dead won't be bury in our cementry, we would ensure your place is turned to burial ground for those who spend their lives in Lagos

Before you know what hits you, you are already an adopted son of Lagos.

The choice is yours, that is what we wanted, and will judiciously execute it as a Lagoisian from generation to generation. We don't shout we use our brain

Chai this is mean man. They will live their life in Lagos but will ensure their land is used as their burial ground? That’s the meanest thing I’ve heard all my life man

Tinubu is corrupt coming from Chinedu selling fake spare parts in Alaba. Dey play.

Not always the case, U need a computer for most of them reason is simple, fraud.Cos your car is sold abroad with service schedule as one of its key point to determine cost in the used car market.

You are right. Most used cars abroad comes with a detailed service history before it can be marketable as buyers usually request for it and most car owners keep a detailed verifiable service history

Sure it can

A cat is a cleansing agent. If you wanna move to a new house, set a cat to roam the house before moving in it will help clean all bad energies.

Oooo NDLEA, you guys should have left these guy let them go get beheaded instigated arresting them in Nigeria and setting them free later.

So you are telling me your car manufacturer specified that you use 0W20

Hell yeah. Conspicuously inscripted on the engine cover. Why? Isn’t 0W20 a good engine oil specification?

6.5m?

Regardless of what Mobil 1 says, use your manufacturers recommended Oil Change Interval.

That 20,000 miles has a caveat. It usually applies to vehicles with large oil sumps (the types that take between 8 to 10 liters during service). Yours uses 5 liters max during service.

Again, you are still insinuating that your vehicle gave you a prompt for oil change due to oil quality.

How it assessed that quality is strange.

But what do I know?

Did I idle your vehicle a lot during this period?

Were you in heavy stop and go traffic?

Okay I think I get you. I at no point spent 15min in traffic and didn’t leave the car idling unduly.

The recommended oil is 0W 20 which is quite expensive because of this I expected the oil change alert intervals to last a bit longer unlike the less expensive, low quality ones.

I understand your point now. I will have to stick to the recommended oil change intervals. Irrespective of the time duration I expect, the oil minder must be correct.

9icetoo:


Your car does not measure oil quality.

Read what I wrote again.

Your car does not measure oil quality.

You are going from Mobil 1 (fake according to you) to hardex (who told you it's original) and you think you are better off?

Again, do the oil minder reset properly yourself next time or ensure whoever is doing it, did it properly.

Good luck.

Like I said I did the reset myself. Doing the reset is not rocket science anybody should be able to do actually.

On the Mobile 1 container, it says “protects for 20,000 miles guaranteed” and I only did just above 3k kilometers. It doesn’t add up.

I switched to Hardex based on expert advice. He said adulterated Mobile 1 is common. So chances I get adulterated Hardex is slim when compared.

Anyways, thanks.

StillDtruth:


Not an expert o but what i do know is 1,000km.is like Wuse to onitsha and back. That means you travelled with the car. And when you travel that colour is what you are going to get. That is what i see whenever i travel and i just get ready to change my oil.

But even with this colour i travel one more time before i change.

So i don't think there is anything wrong with your oil or oil reader. Travel depletes oil.

I didn’t travel during the time of this review. Actually I didn’t even do up to 100km/h at any point during this period. I was shuffling btw a distance of say 20km radius back and forth max.

When a particular tribe think they are better than and intrinsically belonging to and ultimately abhor a mindset of dominating their host they will always meet a brick wall.

You don’t expect me to support the Chidinma brouhaha because I’m a Nigerian when I face same issues with the perpetrators at my backyard.

After all they are not the only tribe in Africa but they are the one mostly courting trouble. And you don’t expect SA to welcome such attitude going by their recent history.

9icetoo:


You did not reset the maintenance minder.

It is as simple as that.

The maintenance minder measures oil life using two parameters; distance driven and time.

The 2012 crosstour does not measure oil quality and quantity.

Next time, make sure the mechanic resets the maintenance minder in your presence or you do it yourself.

I did set the maintenance minder myself. What we arrived at is the Mobil 1 I got is likely adulterated as a lot of adulterated Mobil 1 is common in the market so I switched to Hardex 0W 20 so I’m observing it.

Can I do 6m?

Can I do 3.5m?

Can I do 6m?
