Engine Oil: Changing From Total Synthetic To Mobil by ITbomb(op): 2:31am On Jun 07, 2019*

I have been using Total 7000 synthetic engine oil for over a year now but the product has been scarce to buy and I need to switch to what every other person is using - Mobil, for peace of mind

Which of the Mobil oil spec is good and available for replacement?

Hyundai Accent 2013
15-50W synthetic oil used

Total quartz 7000 is 15W-50 grade. Where did you see 15W-40 grade?

If you'd use the space to help rather than point out the obvious, it would be appreciated. Thanks

I don't owe you any help. Even the mistake I pointed out is a charity case.... Be humble enough to admit the mistake. If you cannot then keep quiet.

Meanwhile who told you that the oil in question is synthetic oil?

If it's not synthetic, it's not synthetic. That's a marketing gimmick.

Nothing wrong in switching from total quartz 7000 to Mobil 1 as long as Mobil 1 is suitable for your engine and you don't have sludge in the engine.

you shouldn't toy with that engine, they we're basically built for non repairs especially those bought brand-new in Nigeria.

I did just advice you check for sludge before using a synthetic (with bleach) because once that engine starts to show symptoms of damage it's the beginning of the end.

when switching to synthetic use 5W30 or 5W40 for engine protection
