..

My brother hope you good in mathematics... let me break it down options that area avaliable.... I should keep my mouth shout.. But am having fun.

1. 5quarts that I sell for 17500k, will always have left over ..now according to my guy that buys from me .. He says make I ignore Mobil. Com . Coz if u go there it tells you how many liters u need . For corolla it needs 4.4liters of oil , my guy that uses 06 Corolla told me he himself used 4liters to the top .. Some drivers or partners on uber will prefer to have an extra liter just to top off .due to the fact some cars have oil shortage... it is fact ..like I said am not the smartest guy on the forum ..but common sense can make up for it .
Sorry for running off topic .. So by time an uber drivers buys five quarts from me ,that is if he plans to buy extended performance for year round... he would have about two to three liters free from buying 5quarts from me ..so for the fact that most cars on uber use may be 3.5liters at least for oil ,it works to my advantage... hope I explained myself
3. Before I started selling oil I did my research.. I checked out konga and jumia .. My final price was based on those two websites and than I sold them for 15500k .. Since my focus is mainly on extended performance, what is the average price of extended performance on those two site ? Omo it's like 23k at times to 20k ... and how much am I advertising it on nairaland? Do I need to go further...
4. No tables has been shaken at all .. The problem with people sometimes, and with Nigerians we rush into things . We don't do the math at all .

5. Now the conclusion my brother.... All these oil been imported there is already a cut off price that you can go before you start to lose profit... I have my own cut off, which of coz I will not mention. So those other sellers too .. But we that sell know that there is Base mark ,you go lower than that you are trouble..
6. So also you have to think about the retailers.. How much you want sell to them to make profit? Will they now buy one by one liters of oil ? My sale focus is to retailers too..
7. Because of the larger quanity I have ,am planning to market to Konga, which is very popular than jumia .those two sites will get more views than nairaland.. And more views equals ,well the potential to equal more sales
So please let the chips fall how it wants to fall ..thanks for your time ...

So why waste time spamming here?

Please shake tables... it must be shaken .....

Make I advertise my oil self... To all my uber partners that need Mobil extended performance.. We have it here ...before you place an order, think before you buy ..how often would u need an oil change a year.. If you plan on changing your oil at least three times a year and save cost ...I can help you.. I have the following, 5w30, 5w20, 0w40 and 0w20 large quantities and we deliver within Lagos free of charge...

Price : 17500k
Contact dru23@hotmail.com

Okay, I've had enough of this. There will be causalities along the way but if you don't stop spamming threads dru23, I'm going to pull a Walmart on you and kill your oil business. And I can. I can sell at prices you can never touch if I choose to. If you don't stop, I will sell each and every oil you list for half the price until you sell no more. And I can keep it up for years. This has gone on long enough.

Gazzuzz
5liters mobil 1 synthetic oil = 15,500; @boost 14,600

1litre mobile 1 extended performance synthetic oil = 3,800 which implies 4 litres = 15,200 => 5litres = 19,000

Dru23
5liters mobile 1 extended performance synthetic oil = 17,500

Comparing apple for apple
The more you look the less you see

Umm.. if the middle price is us, the price quoted is not for oil. It's for oil, filter, the oil change and a car diagnostic.

The truth of the matter is that not everyone is going to get married or have kids. I have met some content people who are not married or do not have kids. I believe that Africans back home should stop pushing people to into marriage. Marriage and having kids is a personal choice and very important life decision that not should not be taken lightly. One should not go into it because that what everyone else is doing.

Yup. My favorite phrase "na by force??"

There are other factors apart from culture . Women here tend to have more financial freedom, so they do not need to depend on a man for basic stuff. You find a lot of people here both men and women who are still still single well into later ages. Some people also don’t believe in marriage.

Again we agree. Women over there expect a man to do what they can do for themselves if not, what do I need you for. They are ready to wait to be evenly yoked. I waited until my thirties to get married and got exactly what I was looking for. That is not to say there aren't gold diggers there too.

In my opinion, that's also why men there respect their women more kiss

If by cracking you mean a loud thump or thud maybe along with a jerk, check your motor mounts.

someone forgot to place the cover on your radiator. no matter how hot an engine is, the pressure cap will never leave it's installed position if locked properly in place.

currently you Might Might be able to escape with a slap on the wrist. Just pour water into the Radiator and continue driving, if after 1 week you do not notice any misfires, or buildup of oil under the pressure cap, then drain the water, and install toyota coolant.

good luck.

Best advice so far. Loose cap caused this

That's what happens when people buy cars without any idea of maintenance. Exactly what I warned about in our thread SMH.

It's his trans fluid first guess. When cold still viscous, when warms is thin. It's not limp mode that's the problem.

I agree with you.

Some of the cars we have on our roads today are write off cars in the countries of origin.

World economies would grind to a halt if this happened. And people would still find ways around it. Is it not our people that will cut a car in half, ship as parts and join-join when it gets into the country?

I will blame you and radautoworks.. you both should have a thread here on buying or bidding for US cars..

Do people listen tho? That's part of why my activity has dropped. Some people are hell bent on doing what they want to do.

Only advice I can give and I've given l given it elsewhere is to have a trusted mechanic/partner go check the cars before you bid. If you can't find one, you should stay out of the game.

E.g. in 2008 I bought a 2002 Land Rover Winchester edition that was classified as salvage for N1,600. Everyone overlooked the car. What was wrong with it? It said burnt. Turns out my partner at the time/ex knew better. It was in a dealership that burnt down around it. We bought it, swapped four tires, painted it, took to DMV for inspection and BOOM. $700 later no longer salvage. This was the vehicle I had the year of hurricane Ike and was driving through water anyhow. Turned around and let a friend have it for N5,000 after driving it a year. Friend had it until two years ago.

Good morning house,

Please what is the best ATF for 08 C300 4matic?

Where can I purchase in Lagos?

Price idea ?

Thanks

Also compatible is DEXRON III/MERCON

You'd be looking at about N36,500 for 5 quarts and your car requires 10.25 quarts.

Some new bulbs cost 500.00 but will fizzle out within a day or a week or months at best

Used OEM bulbs cost 1000.00

It is the wisdom of the crowd that used is better and lasts longer

I want you to change the narrative here

A promo should not have to cost you an arm and a leg to provide value

That's the beauty of it. This promo doesn't. I don't know why I never thought about pushing bulbs because they are dirt cheap. I actually can't believe the used prices here. Truth be told, a lot of our new bulbs are only $1 or $2 at our normal selling price and promo specials equate to only about 25% off. Have I said too much?

New bulbs don't last, they are low quality.

There is a burgeoning market for used OEM vehicle lightning.

How about new OEM grade lighting for the price of the used OEM

You mean like tail light, turn signal bulbs and the like? Ours cost like N400-1,000 typically for stuff like below.
