ceelog: Let me clarify. It's either conventional or synthetic. Blend is a scam and not worth the price difference. 1 Like |

radautoworks:Now I get your point. XHP is 4300 Mobil 1 5w30 is 16k But Mobil 2000 semi synthetic is 5k Price difference is not really different from XHp. That's y many are going for it. But I agree that blends are not fully transparent on content. But some articles say they are better than mineral oils. |

donshegzy: My brother that oil 20w50 is a death sentence for your engine.. Depending how long you been using the oil and how frequently you change the oil .. I will honestly tell you it is not worth it to change to manufacture reccomdation. I tell people to read and read owners manual at all times. Better yet read the oil cap of the engine. Below is the owners manual directly from Toyota .. This you can download on line.. Whatever be the case good luck bro. The correct oil is 0w20 and if 0w20 is not available you can use 5w20 until the next oil change and than switch back to 0w20. I sell these oils and filter all from the USA .. I got a request for Toyota oil filter and I might have left over around November... but have a good mechanic look at the engine . So to determine if the 20w50 has caused any damage to your car. . But to find good mechanic is anothet struggle on its own..

donshegzy: I’m my opinion, this could be minor; my shock absorber might be weak. Used to have similar sound but it’s the shock absorber too that was bent, hence had to replace. Will keep you posted. |

GAZZUZZ:TESTIMONY TIME I installed the thermostat back, temp gauge is half way. my RPM has reduced from 1500- 800 which I guess it's OK once engine warms up. I've driven vehicle for at least 30mins to rule out over heating. My fuel consumption has improved Am experiencing hard starting after installing thermostat , I haven't also added coolant yet. Thanks in anticipation bro. |

Good morning house. I just bought a tokunbo engine for my Honda 2007. The engine came with engine oil inside that look clean and new. After mounting the engine mechanic advised me to drive d car for at least one week before changing the oil while someone else advised me to drain the oil and put new one immediately. Which should I follow plz. Cc Gazzuzz 1 Like |
