I have a Honda Pilot 2007 model and I've been using our Nigeria Mobil 1 (0w-40) to date. I cannot recollect the recommended grade of oil. However is this Mobil 1 okay for the vehicle? |

Advice accordingly please. |

Hi, I recently sent a 2014 Toyota RAV4 from the USA to my father-in-law in Nigeria. The oil recommended for use is SAE 0W-20. This car was built for the North American market, mainly USA. What oil should I tell him to use in theDelta area of Nigeria(Warri). I had sent him a few gallons of STP SAE 5W-30. Can he use this in the meantime. Not sure what is available in his area. Much thanks |

Please guys if you buy a car try and check the oil cover , it is clearly written the type of oil the car needs. If it is 5W 30 you look for any good brand of that 5w 30 and buy. You can see it in mobil, total, oando and the rest. Always insist on the specification for your car. Thanks 2 Likes |

You should not worry about where the car is driven, because when it was made in Canadian cold, they designed it to work in the death valley heat which is way hotter than most of Nigeria. Just use the oil weight written on the oil cap 20w50 was made for lorries manufactured in the 70 and 1980, there is no passenger car that I know sold in the last 30 years that the manufacturer recommend 20w50. It will work but not leads it early damage to engine resulting in oil burn and smoke from exhaust 1 Like |

Paulagada: I bought Toyota Corolla 2005 Sport car of recent -May, 2021. It came with the Owner's manual. A meticulous perusal, it stated that,"SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather" IF, SAE 5W-30 is not available, SAE 10W-30 oil may be used. HOWEVER, it should be replaced with SAE 5W-30 at the next oil change". 1 Like |

honsule: If you bought the car tokunbo . follow the owners manual at all times and look for good oil brand . Preferable imported brand .. Engine oil is now expensive than ever.. So is engine replacement and parts etc ........ If na naija used .. Am not a fan of anything naija used. Than you have to trend carefully and ask previous owner what oil they were using etc ....... Good luck ...... |
