Your car uses 5w20 conventional or 0w20 synthetic oil

You don't necessarily need to buy the synthetic oil. Buy the right weight. I believe it will be either 5w-20 or 5w-30.
If you can afford it you can go synthetic just for the sake of it but it is not a necessity.
There are mineral oils with the right weight for your car. Forte oil has them in stock (Castrol). Radautoworks has them too. There are other oil sellers here too that have them.
My acura doesn't call for synthetic and my last oil change wasn't synthetic but was still the right weight oil As recommended by the manufacturer. All the best.
Also correct

It depends on the oil formular and manufacturer. As for mobil 1 ;After 6 months for synthetic oil and 3 months for mineral oil. Mobil 1 Extended performance can stay about 1year without change.
This is the right answer

Yeah. She should just exit at Anthony and pass through Maryland. At least the traffic there is predictable and reasonable.

Unlike Oshodi that HiTech will just halt movement and start repairing the road

Monday is fine to bring it in?
Tuesday is ideal. Monday is usually catching up with backlog from Saturday and I already have a few transmission jobs waiting. Be prepared for the fact you will probably have to leave the car..

He has used many monikers.
He will regret doing this
I will fish him out and Bleep him up real good.
I have his face.

With this huge price for just materials for automatic AC, you still blame Nigerians for going for option manual?

Person no go fit buy only the compressor?
The difference in price between this and the compressor alone most times is less than 50k. You could probably import one yourself cheaper than what I'm quoting and IMO is better to do than manual.

Compressor alone http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=ACC&partNumber=T178322 N250,478 no warranty

It is also a lot cheaper than than having to replace one of those after the fact when they are bought individually. Yes, I still blame Nigerians because it's a case of penny wise and pound foolish.

Most people who come to us have already spent about 100-150k on the conversation. Then add the fact that the car starts misbehaving and the money they have spent trying to correct it. At the end of the day you've spent the same or more for a used, manual compressor and have other issues coming down the pipeline.

The reason for requiring the kit is that when only the compressor is done, a lot of times the system can't handle the new pressure and other things get damaged or even the new compressor gets damaged. Changing those components minimizes the chances of that happening. Also, if installed PROPERLY those compressors typically do not fail.

How much will it cost to install the automatic AC compressor in a 2012 Corolla?

If it is way billed out of Lagos for another to install, is there warranty cover for the compressor?
To have a warranty whether we do it or someone else, one just has to purchase the full kit not just the compressor. The kit includes New Compressor, Filter Drier, Expansion Valve, Oil, and O-Rings.

http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=ACC&partNumber=7741NK N273,258 with a 3 year warranty
