CHIMCO: Thanks Sir. But someone got this for PRIME GUARD OIL. In your post.
I'm planning to buy this oil this week. I want to hear from you in simple terms. we've never heard of this oil and we carry pretty much every reputed brand in the USA except competitor private labels like ours. Please go with something known. Or is there a reason you want to experiment? Pennzoil, mobil, royal purple, Lucas, Quaker, valvoline, pentosin, liqui-moly, shell rotella and of course our brand are the only oils to have passed Carquest distribution's quality control. |

sooperrescue: The search for Prime guard has been very difficult like looking for money in a beach. I went to PQIA website and the last Prime guard that they attested to was in 2017 and then the 5w30 full synthetic API SP in 2020. The oil seems to be more promoted here in Konga and Jumia than on any American website.
I also once queried the sellers of Duramax synthetic that it was only their synthetic blend that PQIA could certify. And it is still very obvious. I also learnt that Carquest is made by Valvoline which also uses (my) SYNGARD technology. And SYNGARD made Extreme synthetic blend, one of the best engine oils made for cars produced for the American market. Long story and we are still unraveling .........
Passenger car motor oil is the lifeblood of your engine. In addition to lubricating moving parts to help reduce wear and tear and the buildup of heat in your engine, motor oils contain performance additives that help to reduce oxidation, neutralize acids, prevent rust, corrosion, and foam, condition seals, save fuel, and keep your engine clean. But all engine oils are far from created equal. In fact, some motor oils on the shelves can cause harm to your engine and premature failure. Know what motor oil goes into your car.[i][/i] Only a couple. Most of our oil is Amalie. |

sookoo: Thank you sir. But 'Yes' to which option? I should return to the Oil used in servicing before I bought the car or the one that has only been used just once when the car arrived Lagos?
The car was serviced in Lagos August 2020.But I really started driving it in October 2020.Car has travelled from Osogbo to Ibadan six times and to and fro Lagos once.
Thank you. 0w20 and do not exceed 5,000 miles or 6 months ( whichever comes first) between changes again. |

sookoo: Good evening Gazzuzz Nurey Kungreign Radautoworks
Thanks for the good job you ate doing
Please I have a 2011 Toyota Corolla which needs urgent servicing. However, I'm in a fix on what to do. I checked the car history online and it was regularly serviced with OW-20 full synthetic oil while in the US. However, when car arrived in Lagos, it was serviced with Mobil Super 1000 20W-50 XHP.
My question is this. Should I return to the OW-20 full synthetic oil or continue with the 20w-50 Mobil used in Lagos. Note that this Mobil used in Lagos has just been used once. Thank you.
Your kind answers needed urgently please.
Thank you. YES Edit: how long since the last oil change out of curiosity? |

They sha filled the gas, AC started cooling, Drove to the airport to pickup someone, and back everything seems fine. To God Be the Glory
Original mechanic bill - 134k Total amount spent - 5500
Thanks @ Radautoworks, Gazzuzz, blackbishop DeeDee and co good. This is why resources like this are available. I told you people that whenever a mechanic starts telling you to change condenser and evaporator, they don't know anything about ac. They just believe that if they change the whole system, they will fix the problem. |

This electric car battery takes the same time to charge as filling up with gasA new type of electric-car battery, that can be charged in five minutes, has been unveiled in China. Standard electric-vehicle batteries can take many hours to fully charge and is seen as a barrier to mass adoption of electric vehicles. The switch to electric cars is an important part of global efforts to lower emissions and combat climate change. An electric-car battery that can be charged in five minutes, the amount of time it takes to fill up a tank of gas, has been produced for the first time in a factory in China. The new lithium-ion batteries were developed by the Israeli company StoreDot and manufactured by Eve Energy in China. The company has produced 1,000 sample batteries compliant with li-ion battery certifications, StoreDot said. The samples will be used to showcase the company's technology to prospective buyers and investors looking to get a jump on the electric-vehicle market, including BP, Daimler, Samsung Ventures, and TDK. Faster-charging batteries would make electric vehicles more functional For many drivers, electric cars do not cut it for long trips because of the amount of time it takes to charge the vehicles. Electric-car batteries on the market can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours to charge, though a typical EV takes about eight hours to charge from empty to full, according to Pod Point, a manufacturer of electric-vehicle chargers. Electric vehicles are a crucial part of Biden's $2 trillion climate-change plan, in which he wants an entirely green electric power grid by 2035 with cars running on electricity instead of gasoline. StoreDot's new battery technology would make this green future more feasible, eliminating what CEO Doron Myersdorf called electric vehicle's biggest barriers: "range and charging anxiety." "Today's announcement marks an important milestone, moving XFC for the first time beyond innovation in the lab to a commercially-viable product that is scalable for mass production," Myersdorf said in a press release. "We're on the cusp of achieving a revolution in the EV charging experience that will remove the critical barrier to mass adoption of EVs." Electric cars average about 250 miles of driving per charge. With a battery that could charge faster, drivers would not be range-bound and could take EVs on longer trips. While lithium-ion batteries use graphite as an electrode, the StoreDot battery works faster by replacing graphite with semiconductor nanoparticles that allow ions to pass more easily and quickly. The company expects to replace this electrode with silicon, a much cheaper component, by the end of the year. Tesla is also working on developing silicon electrodes. On Monday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted, "Battery cell production is the fundamental rate-limiter slowing down a sustainable energy future. Very important problem." Tesla has been making strides to give EVs a longer travel range through an extensive Supercharger network, as well as its new generation of long-range electric cars that can go up to 400 miles between charges. Musk hopes to make electric cars as convenient and accessible as conventional combustion-engine vehicles. Fast-charging EV batteries are still several years away StoreDot's five-minute battery will likely not enter the mainstream market for many years, as mass production will not be available for quite some time as the company continues to hone its technology. The startup has experimented with fast-charging batteries in the past for phones, drones, and scooters. In 2014, the company developed a prototype of a charger that could boost your phone's battery from dead to fully charged in 30 seconds. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/electric-car-battery-charge-time-vehicles-climate-change-sustainability |

Good day.
My old man has a 1999 Avalon... 1MZ-FE non vvti.
He complained oil burning and later, engine smoking. Mechanic recommended engine change but old man wasnt ready to spend on the car again as he had other options. The car has been parked since two years or so.
I wish to restore it now and I'm leaning towards engine rebuild over engine replacement because if I buy new engine and if sludge builds up again, how many engines would one have to buy?
My questions: 1. Its obvious the present engine has been heavily sludged. Having been parked so long over two years, can the engine still be rebuilt?
2. If it can be rebuilt, I dont want to use regular engine oil as the engine is prone to sludge. Can I use full synthetic oil with a rebuilt 1MZ-FE engine? 1) we would have to see it to be able to make that call 2) you could but what is recommended for his car is actually not synthetic but conventional 5w30
