This is VERY WRONG oil type for anybody driving frequently and HORRIBLE for anybody doing ehailing. 0w 20 is almost water when hot.... If ur car ain't brand new, driving in nigeria with 0w 20 is you kissing ur engine goodbye quickly.... Expensive doesn't always mean better.

Anybody doing uber should be using 5w-40 to better protect ur engine. Anything ending with 20 is a no no. Anything starting with 20w and above, no no.

Baba time and time I try to give you guys games. But very unfortunate most people are just plain uneducated.......



Keep in mind people do Uber in the USA too. Regardless of weather conditions.

Now 0w20 is a multi grade oil . It is formulated for extreme cold temperatures and extreme heat. Plz don't say Nigerian weather this and that..

What matters is the internal temperature of your engine how the oil handle in hot temperature and cold..

Now if you are worried about 0w20 too thin u can use 0w30 or 0w40 for more protection...

Baba also na 10w40 you supposed to dey used for older engines especially older cars . High mileage especially baba .. I bring them based on request...

This is what makes Mobil 1 great and why you see alot of fake. People don't do fake products or designer if they are not popular or don't have status symbol...

Baba have invested in Uber at early stage. Have had over 10 cars from 2007 to 2008 Elantra to 2003 to 2005 Honda Civic.....

Na e hailing got me into this Mobil 1 USA business..

Baba I dey tell you wetin dey my mind. No fear.

If you really want to protect your engine

Mobil 1 10w40 high mileage is what you are supposed to be using. 10w40 engine oil are designed for older vehicles in mind... This is a Fact

We have cars in the USA on e hailing platform that uses 0w20 . Plz don't tell me Yankee weather is different from Nigeria weather.....

When you buy quality engine oil u don't have to worry..

U can also use 0w30 instead of 0w20.


At the end of the day baba Mobil 1 10w40 or well known brand will be a perfect choice. High mileage specifically .. 10w40 Full synthetic not semi synthetic


Let's us be guided.. If these oil matter spill for debate. I will win the debate.

No one here manufactures car engines.

If the vehicle manufacturer says: use 10w30, 0w20, 5w20, 20w50, palm oil, snake oil etc etc.
That's what you should use.

Saying weather doesn't matter is where you goofed bro.

Boss, learn to buy fuel right, get fuel only at confirmed stations (mrs ahmodu, Mobil Agidingbi, Total Gbagada etc.

Alakija,
Amuwo Odofin
Orile Iganmu,
Ojo
Mile2/Apapa
Amukoko,
Bagadry
Oko Agbon
Igbo Elerin
Okokomaiko
Ifelodun Ajeromi
Shigbiri
Oko afo etc.
For this period, stay with bolt and Uber, no go drag ride with Glithronix and co oo, you won't get any trip.

Glithronix:
[b]You see those locations you mentioned ehn, looks like a compilation of horror movies. /b]X
During my early days on bolt, I shuttled Amuwo/Ago palace/Festac/Mile2/Apapa/Iyana Iba wella.
Those places are horrifying.
I still have the picture of those areas in my head.
Make no newbie try those areas ooh, not even now wey be say road sanity in Lagos don disappear. Everybody just dèy do anyhow now.

Btw, at the bold.....

Ask them to give you warranty of 2 months.... In writing. Then repair.

fortune100:
You can repair that’s if the gearbox has never been repaired, it’s a five pin gearbox, easy to repair. Shouldn’t exceed 70 to 100k max, but have it in mind you may need to overhaul the gear after a year or two, depending on usage.

So Ehailing drivers are now being targeted by scammers.
I got a request around Wuse, the rider sent me a message that he wanted me to pickup 5 bottles of Hennessy from the supposed manager of the village chief restaurant and bar. He also asked that I help him give the manager 5k and that he would refund me the 5k plus the 3,500 for the trip=12,000 (I don’t know the maths that he did that he used to arrive at 12k, he was probably trying to prey on my greed)

He forwarded me the “managers” number and I called him when I got there. When I mentioned coming to collect the drinks for the “Army man” that booked me, he acknowledged and said he wasn’t on ground but that he will call his staff to bring the drinks for me. He now brought up the 5k that the “army man” was supposed to give him, I told him that I was aware and that I was going to transfer the money for him. He told me to send him a message on WhatsApp so he could forward his account number, I have our conversation attached below.

And Ikorodu. Ikorodu ladies must have really missed you ...

Glithronix:
@the bold of your last statement - this is exactly what I like to read from new drivers.
You need the on-field experience, cos that's what will definitely build you up.
Not the questions upon questions wey I dey see from aspiratants.
Though, the question stuff is necessary, but too much question is not what is required, as long as you sabi drive, you'll learn the hustle on field.

Now, to your payment issue - if you had already linked your bank account with your Uber profile, wait till tomorrow and work again, the app will bring the option for you to make their payment.

I just hope you already have linked your bank account with the app.

Lastly, what do you mean by "... you already received payment offline" in the first bold statement?



Much respect, boss.
