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.

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]

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.

The reason the guy is making headlines is simply because since this farmers'-herders' crisis started no ONE has ever got the guts to challenge even a fulani newborn baby let alone giving selfless order. The guy has got real iron balls and I like him for that.

I'm really interested in the movie because what ever action the FG takes its capable of creating serious crisis not only in the SW but in other regions across the country. I just hope wisdom is applied.

His fighting for Yoruba people. His saying, enough is enough. Enough of the kidnapping, killing and all sort of atrocities committed by some set of people. As it is now, the guy want all Fulani in OYO state to Vacant. I come in peace oh.

seunoj:
And u r from Ibadan. U r the one to tells us more than we read on social media.
A friend told me he is one of the great warriors that fought for modakeke against Ife.

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.

Reading your post now just made me laugh despite having a bad morning. See me see Canaan land trip, 7min PU, car no gree start. Any time fuel enter reserve and car is parked over night fuel pump gives issues. What to do now!

Crvrider:

Madame, whatever you do, don’t sell to Sooperrescue on credit o... he will trick you and tell you he used your oil on credit to service customers cars..

He owes me 50k for the last one year.. be so advised.

oweniwe:
Thank you for your response. Vehicle is located in ipaja

Do I have to snap the engine bay or drop the engine and haul it to your workshop or tow the car to your workshop?

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?

Slickleo:

Activity77:
Boss what's the best oil for camry 2008 i4 engine though I have been using 5w30 synthetic... Thanks

Crvrider:
The reason for suggesting a refill is to ascertain first if the cooling system still works, from there it can then be narrowed down to a leak or something far more serious.

chillex8:
Maybe I missed your car make and model. Am assuming you have a fixed displacement (automatic) compressor.

If that's the case, he's 100% correct.
In addition, you will replace the rubber seals and expansion valve

FuckEveryday:
Jst imagine
I'll jst try refilling first and see
