Buy the right weight.

And any brand will do.

The sad part is, what really maters is, what's in the jug. You will have jugs stamped with 5w30, and whats in it is SAE40.

Then it brings us to brand. I can trust a brand, because when they say it is 5w30 it is actually 5w30 and not groundnut oil.

It also takes us to where you source your oil from. 100%, a number of the people buying Mobil 1 are only buying 'can' or another palm oil, cos they are buying from shady sources. You could make a lot of money just selling mobil 1 empty jugs


It will interest you to know, you have a high propensity of buying the faked most hated XHP if you are buying from shady source...


So actually, the most important factor is where you source your oil from and trusted brands. So when they are selling 5w30 to you, you are actually buying 5w30.

Shanid:
okay ,thank you for this point but let me be clear in this , are you saying 10w30 is better than 5w30 ??

AOB1:
please ma we need more explanation about this Volvo products please explain much better for us.

What brand do you use for your cars

dannytwix:
Hello guys please I have 2 questions
1)what is the name of this sensor and any idea where I can get a new one?
2) I have been using 5W20 Oil as it’s the requirement for my Honda. But I noticed it burns a little bit quickly now and white smoke emits from the exhaust when the engine gets hot. Would you advise to I switch to 5W30 as it’s a bit thicker which makes it suitable for hotter climates? mileage is over 120k Honda Accord 08 v6. Picture of sensor below

I have learnt my lessons, buying brand new tires for this job isn't worth it. Because anything can happen to the tire and that's it. Money is gone just like that, I traveled to ikorodu through the epe axis after driving on that bad road I noticed car have started wobbling.
Got to alignment and tire was racked, that's how I lost the tire

What about looking for good quality parts . That alone can frustrate somebody to the max .......so in these business you are getting screw in different ways by mechanics and by part dealers... When I tell people the need to maintain their cars and buy quality parts etc .. They will say I want sell market etc .....

Now 1 of personal cars needs shocks and tires .. I have bought Tokunbo shocks in ladipo .. The shocks went bad again after few weeks. Now I Will be shipping brand new shocks and tires . The tire part is even crazy . I spend 54k naira on 1 tire the tire only lasted for two weeks ........The brand new tires I got in Yankee will cost $300 ..... Which is fine and I know in the next two years or so I won't have tire or shocks problems.....


It is the parts seller making big money and while the customers are at the lossing end .. If you think am the same amount used to buy these parts over and over again could have save enough money to buy brand new

dru23:
Maybe I was misquoted sir ... I never tag anyone poorer for using Mobil xhp... I did say if u can afford a car that cost millions you should be able to afford good quality oil .........


Also I do strongly encourage tokunbo car owners to use quality oil from the start.. This will help them to continue to maintain their cars.... Things are expensive now .......

I do apologize for any misconception I might have created along the way ..........

Plz keep in mind am a part time comedian .... People that know me and have my whatapps number . know that I post regularly funny video on my status.......


If you get to know me I am the most funniest and humble person u ever meet .... I know I be petty at times.....

So sorry again for any misconception I might have created .......i know people will yup me for these post .. And I will yup them back

kanuisagoat:
Yes, I actually saw those when I ran through your posts.

What I actually need is just the oil and filter without the service.

Felicity001:
To those of you who think I'm an igbo man... I just sitdon dey laugh una...

BAZ001 really f**kup to tag me along with NM's recent pavertic, tribal and foolish comment.

What kind of a disgusting comment is that? You all know me, no one wants to be associated with anything that has to do with bad name that's my annoyance with him.

BAZ001 is a guy I like and respect a lot but that is comment was way too extreme to me and ic no reason for him to tag me to that NM's post in anyway.

delightchamp:
Good morning. Please a friend is considering options between buying a brand new Hyundai Tucson Evolutiom and a Tokunbo Benz ML350 which has hit 70000km. He also said brand new Nissan Pathfinder is an option. Kindly help choose. In my opinion, I think a brand new car is always a better option leaving us with the Tucson vs Pathfinder but your comments will be well appreciated. Thank you.

I went to inspect the car Honda CRV 2006 EX with 4WD
20w50 used as engine oil since imported 2016
Fan connected directly
owner use transmsision oil as power steering oil
water used as coolant, opened radiator cap, noticed a brownish stain on radiator cap and also looking into radiator.
interior looks ok, black leather, slight wear with age, AC works, door wind down but passenger side door window only works with button close to passenger door
exhaust tail pipe doesnt look oily dark, but noticed slight dark when you rub finger deep inside the exhaust
Saw the below code
Saw vsc code on dashboard

Can someone go ahead, what is a good price to start pricing from... Can things be revert back to normal

NarcoPolo:
Why are you always putting these people down, how much you get for account sef. You're obviously a menial worker with little education in the US, you can't even spell.

Uber rental is the only hustle your dead brain can carry but you come here to demean hardworking people who prolly would be your bosses if not for exchange rate.

BAZ001:
Buhari Regime and what’s happening around you has affected your mindset.
You could have asked what year I bought d car and how much was it.
Can mileage be rolled back in U.S before sale ?
Which means we shouldn’t trust d mileage you displayed too
You & riders just assume everyone driving Uber is poor, slave and not smart.
I can’t afford 20k oil same way you can’t afford Mobil 1 again and you looking for Alternatives.
I blame Buhari, when some graduate have been working for years and can’t buy a car, but u asking dem to buy land n build house like say house go feed dem or once u buy land u are made. Dts why una force people to go and build house in ikorodu and be working in Lagos. Young guys dt should live in city will be staying with retired grand fathers.

Don’t worry very soon... I go give update.
Just free my car for now Abeg. I no get strength
