That was how I bought one Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and the 15k km fram filter hoping to run the oil for 7k miles.
….

Just use XHP (20w50) in this case if Corolla and change at 3 months or 2,500 miles, whichever comes first

This happened a lot especially when I changed oil using the Mobil 1 full synthetic one need to see where these kazeems are fighting for the jug but I usually take it along with me because I know what they need it for.

Some of them will even over pour the oil just because they want the jug and don't want any oil left inside it.
I actually find this tag condescending and irritating. Yuck

Where you won c tokunbo summer or 4 seasons tire?

I've only been lucky once and it was just 1 pieces I was able to buy.

That particular type of tire are very scarce to see as you... Gazzuzz says he has it one time I contacted him but its very expensive and we needed 4pcs then.

You even have to be good with tire types to even know or identify or different btw a winter and summer or 4seasons tires.

Winter tires are the most popular tires in Nigeria when it comes to tokunbo

But enh... I'm still trying to think why the ball joint failure is uncommon to the civic yet very common with the Accord brand despite the fact both cars brands have the same design and structures nothing different.

Could it be that its the weight or the rigidness of the ball joint itself?

What has the manufacturer even said concerning this failure.

Manufacturer has forgotten those cars exist. They are already in 2022. If you pull over a 2007 accord to dealership, na fix am yourself. Your bill go buy new 2021 accord grin.

The point is, they've moved on

Buy the right weight.

And any brand will do.

The sad part is, what really maters is, what's in the jug. You will have jugs stamped with 5w30, and whats in it is SAE40.

Then it brings us to brand. I can trust a brand, because when they say it is 5w30 it is actually 5w30 and not groundnut oil.

It also takes us to where you source your oil from. 100%, a number of the people buying Mobil 1 are only buying 'can' or another palm oil, cos they are buying from shady sources. You could make a lot of money just selling mobil 1 empty jugs lipsrsealed


It will interest you to know, you have a high propensity of buying the faked most hated XHP if you are buying from shady source...


So actually, the most important factor is where you source your oil from and trusted brands. So when they are selling 5w30 to you, you are actually buying 5w30.
this is what I didn't have energy to write.

But it's true. You don't repair your car everytime. I've felt the pain of repairs too and I've seen it eat deep into my earnings but it's always a one time thing.

Even with the repairs, if I tell you what I've used bolt money to do, you won't believe it.

The day this vehicle starts taking more than it brings is the day I'll put it up for sale.

But they don’t add that to the earnings they post. If you earn salary, you sure of HMO, sick leave, pension and other allowances. But earnings here can be sucked by
Car repairs/maintenance
Govt dogs lastma/VIO
Driver fall sick he can’t drive and can’t earn.

It still boils down to the brand jare.

How can we even trust that what these brands say is inside the keg is what is actually inside.

What's stopping them from putting 20w50 and slamming 5w20 on the body.

People have used the correct oil weight from some of these brands and have had engine issues.

Na to stick with reliable brands with track record and good reviews

*****************************************************
Didn't hear from you again on the cost of the oil


I agree with you 100% brand and weight matters.. For example I was using Mobil 1 EP for my 2011 Infinity g25x ... Because I wanted to market Pennzoil . I decided to try Pennzoil .. And for strange reason my car sounded better and smoother with Pennzoil than Mobil 1 EP ...... So I will stick to Pennzoil ......

Another reason brand matters .... Check out Project Farm on Youtube ... He did oil analysis on different brands of oil ..... You can tell which brands works better on certain degree heat and how they fare on wear and tear ... Very interesting tests was done .....

People should check it out very informative..keep in mind this guy does not sell oil or market any product.

He has over 1million subscribers on his channel......that should tell you something.....

Again, all these things don't happen everytime. Since I started, apart from one 5k "owo omogo" that I paid when I just started, I have not paid any other money to Lastma, govt dog or policemen.

Drivers don't fall sick everytime, good vehicles don't require maintenance everytime. And the koko be say even with all these things you listed, any hardworking driver can still make good money on bolt. I am a living witness grin

You need to objective with your views and think outside the box .........when you are selling a product you need to give people variety of these to choose from... You have the same mentality of most Nigerians that focus on 1 thing only.. You are typical Nigeria that only drives Toyota cars only .. They are other cars out that can do the same job as a Toyota.....

So when it comes to all these product I do my research and read reviews.. Mobil 1 was getting too expensive .. So I look for other alternatives that can be equally as good ..... So I went from Pennzoil to Super tech ... So am giving the consumers options to buy from ......

And most are happy with my choice of oil .... I have customers that only use Pennzoil . they tried it and like it... I sold out of Pennzoil when it first came out..

It does not mean I will stop bringing in Mobil 1.....Am giving people more options to choose from ...

For the ladies, I will even understand.

What I find very difficult to understand is when you carry young guys like you o. A normal guyman will sit at the back so the whole world will know his fellow guyman is a bolt driver grin

That's why people like chucsmoore tinted their vehicle. If you like, stand at the back, no one will see you cheesy

How everyone is abandoning their car recommended oil weight for the savior supertech is a jolly to laugh at.

Supertech no fit do pass Mobil 1 na. We were told its Mobil 1 or you're too poor to take care of your car grin. If you love your car... Use Mobil 1 wink

That was actually when the Meme started. lol

For me na Ororo i dey use for my Infinity GTx 2019 and its working very well as I change oil every 25,000 miles or 8 months.
