Original 45k. Fake 15-18k.

northbird:


Really, so how do you get to know the fake from the original.. are you sure T-Iv is up to 45k?

ReadaDream:
It's upto that amount.

Pearl1910:


Honestly, the only recommendation I would say is buy from overseas. Very hard to find d original in Nigeria. Except u find from people like Dru or Gazzuzz who sell imported goods.
And because of exchange rate, it is very expensive.
If u can't afford imported on, the use Holt ATF, it is made in Nigeria but it is standard. The original of it has a tiny mouth container. Don't buy d one with a wide mouth, that one is fake.

pls who pays the toll gate fee on airport road, is it the driver or passenger? I passed through that road today with 2 girls and when I got there I told them about the toll fee and they said they don't have cash, that I should pay, I told them they are the one that's supposed to pay cos if they are not in my car I have no business passing through that toll gate, these girls refused to pay and the matter wanted to cause argument, so I had to pay #300, FAAN has increased the price now to #300 for cars from #200, so I want to know who is meant to pay the toll fee

northbird:


It's not about fuel .. the terms are not favourable..
No cap. I have seen a lagride operator loading people @ sandfill heading towards mainland..
That's crap..

You don't really need a big/expensive car for ehailing in Lagos... the returns are not worth it.

konkoabove:

Thanks boss, please which one do you use for your Toyota?

northbird:


How then do you know its original. and you are not buying packaging..?

Pearl1910:


The Original recommended oil for power steering is Expensive and hard to find. U will most likely have to import it yourself.
That's why people use transmission oil and it works fine.

AlNur:


Exactly I turned the offer down too. How I go drive that big jeep for this fuel hike period.

ReadaDream:
It's upto that amount.

Pearl1910:


It's actually a 1.8litre engine. Better fuel economy than Corolla.

Pearl1910:


Let's chat

Pearl1910:


E be like say na price u wan take determine quality, for this Lagos, u go lose if u use that formula

pope191:


Baz001 I’ll not tell you what I don’t know. Price has change, it is left for driver to use their head. Today I saw trip from Obafemi awolowo ikeja to Yaba for 4k. This used to be 2800. A driver on indrive can gross 25k daily, multiply that by 5 days and you will have 125. Gas of 55k should get that at least. Commission of 12500 and the rest is yours to decide on. I never said the hustle is the best thing. I am just trying to simplify it. Let Pope breathe

How to spot a fake Toyota T-IV transmission oil

For information purpose only...


In addition, any oil you see with that cap marked FAKE is not genuine be it the tiv, ws, dextron ii etc. They are mass production oil

I bought the right one with a white cap. But I'm not convinced it's original. So I asked someone according to an experienced dealer I met, he said there's a batch no .on it, If the batch number rubs off,then it's fake.

I kept the can because oil was still left in it., I went back home and swiped off on the can ,lo and behold,the batch number rubbed off .. I'm confused too.. u
.

Close to two years since I changed the oil. Bought it 12.5k or so. @ Akilo. The proliferation of substandard lubricants in the market is a very big problem....

ReadaDream:
It's not about price. It's about what you know and the information available to you.

Most of them buy the original can and pour their fake oil in it, that way you won't know is fake. To avoid these just buy from reputable sellers.

I think the best thing like Pearl said, is to ship it in or buy from verified sellers.

I use Oando Dextron ATF for my car and I buy from Oando filling station only, the MB branded oil is expensive and I might be buying fake so I don't bother.

MoonlightDrive:


why don't you check out rad autoworks... if you need to buy genuine lubricants.

northbird:


The reputable sellers too get it from almost the same source...

northbird:


Toyota has a lot of dealers in Nigeria, Elizabeth,briscoe, Metropolitan n Co. I don't know why they don't sell Toyota lubricants, @ least their service centre should help in that aspect.

Barbiturate:


E say na Elizabeth
U no like Mary!

That Elizade no be am at all. They just collected 15k for doing nothing
