The duration of mineral oil use does not matter. You shouldn't have used engine flush, synthetic oil would gradually take out all and any sludge in the engine as long as you change the oil regularly (i.e. every 5000 miles unless otherwise specified by the car manufacturer)

I used to be worried about switching from 20w50 to 5w-x, not any more. One of my major concerns was the cost of synthetic oi, but considering the time and money spent due to engine failure from 20w-50 use, it is worth it smiley
You are correct but I have been using 20w50 on cars that requires synthetic oil and it was for 3000 miles or 3 months and it worked perfectly and we also put a service sticker on the car. I saw that a lot of the customers adhered to the regime of 3000 miles but there was no protection against sludge and after 3 days or less, you will find sludge on the oil cover. For it to be there, it means that it has accumulated inside the engine. So a lot of people are not aware that the 20w50 does not have sludge protection and the oil strainer gets blocked, and the oil pump is finding it difficult to flow easily and coupled with cheap oil filter( no one who uses mineral oil will never buy filters above N1500) and so these factors produces the sludge. Not every synthetic oil can eliminate sludge, instead the sludge dries up the oil and you will be hearing the old news of 2rz engine having an engine defect. The reason for this thread is to help us to reduce the ugly acronym that Nigeria is the last bus stop for every car that made a mistake to follow the ship on a cruise sailing to Africa and ended up in Nigeria.

what wrong even if he has been using it for years? Do u know his oil change intervals , did u ask the for used oil analysis or compression test results ? Did he tell you he has sludge to give such a unrecommended advise ?hmm DO MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMEND ENGINE FLUSH? Because you wrongly flush and knocked someone else good or dieing engine Instead of using a semi synthetic oil to gradually flush the engine with shorter oil change intervals before going to synthetic , Go Learn how to give advice on automobile question ok? Or concentrate in your engine oil business Mr Abuja outlet
Fxxk you for knocking that engine

if your engine oils changes have been regular, you can switch to synthetic oil with no problems. Speaking from experience.

You would notice better performance from your car especially during cold starts.
He said that he has been using the oil for many years. There was a guy who brought his Toyota to our former outlet in Abuja and the car was filled with sludge. We used engine flush and the engine knocked. It is a dicey scenario

If I may recall, the new 508 and 3008 turbo boost, the oil that is recommended for both cars by Peugeot is Total Activa, so ineos can not be the oil solution for Peugeot.

The cameras on the road is a brilliant idea but what it's meant to capture is the issue here. I recall that a camera is installed close to a traffic light and once you cross the red light, it captures your car, the plate number, and the time it occurred. But here, the government, interested in selling more number plates, made a blunder by telling motorists to remove the number plates from the car and sell it without the plates. So you find a situation where the car I sold in 2018, the number plates are still with me and like it is happening right now, a lot of people drives their new cars with the old number plates of their old cars. So you have a corolla before and you sold the car and later use the plate number on a Passat. What information will the cameras capture? The government does not have any idea where the car that they registered is located because it's not interested. Let them reverse the policy and let everyone return the plate number of the car they sold for proper documentation. And for those complaining about the radio licence, know also that for every registered car in Lagos, the Customs service collects 500 Naira and yet will still impound the car for not paying the correct duty. The police collects 1000 Naira from 10 motorists and then issues receipt of 1000 Naira to 10 motorists. That CMR department of the police is the main reason why vehicle administration in Nigeria is in shambles

@Baba40, I don't know the position of things now about the engine, if the car is still with you, the engine may not be bad, the oil may be the culprit, we are learning everyday. Your car is corolla 04 and I believe the engine is for 04 also. Most times 5w30 works better for latest car bcus it is a sythentic oil and is very light. You can try and change the oil to a lower grade like forte visco 2000 or Mobil xhp. Wish you all the best.
You may be very correct but...

I was told to use to an Engine cleaner before the next service. Addinol engine cleaner but they would need to open the sump under to get the oil out.

Is this true??

Is the 8000km valid
You will have to use Engine flush cleaner that will be used when you are about to change the oil. The only one that I can recommend is Jensen's engine flush and you don't need to loose any sump. Just pour it in on the old oil and let it engine run idle for 5 minutes and drain out the oil and put fresh oil. As for the long oil interval, even Castrol guaranteed 20000 miles but from my conversation with them, it's not ideal for Africa.

Hello Boss,

I use the Honda 5W 30 for my car(Honda and am at 2700 miles the oil is already very black, Does the colour of the oil affect the performance of the oil?

The engine oil is recommended to be used to 5000 miles?

What are your thoughts on the matter? Can i used addinol 5W 30, the delaer told me its for 9000km max

The Addinol CVT oil you recommeded has been wonderful, my gear response has been sweet since i started using the oil.
try and flush the engine and it will clean the interior of the engine. The CVT Oil is one of the best oil currently in the country and it is good for your car.

I read a car manual that some engines over driving periods and manner can shorten oil a little due to heat. It states that one can simply top it as it is view as been normal.
That's true but in most cases I have heard of BMW. 1 litre for a 1000km but for Toyota, I have used the Mobil 1 on a 2013 Camry and it dried up. I even used the same oil on a Range Rover Sport and it also dried up, that is the amount of oil that dried was alarming. Something needs to be done

We are going to focus on the foreign imported engine oil so that a lot of us should be wary of using any oil just because it is of higher level than the others. Let us reexamine Toyota Corolla 2006 Engine Oil requirements. First it must be gasoline engine oil only, second, it is API SL with the energy conserving. A lot of people are using Mobil 1 US extended performance on a Toyota, it's totally wrong. Oil has levels and Mobil 1 that you will use on a Porsche will not be appropriate to be used on a Corolla. We have Liqui Molly, Addinnol and Motul that will never have reduced oil level as many are suffering with Mobil 1 extended performance. Mobil recommends all season oil and another specifically for Toyota, Honda and Nissan. While I am still researching, I will encourage everyone to use Motul energy 5w30 api Sl engine oil or Liqui Molly and Addinnol as the case may be.

I have never seen someone has dull and lost of mind like Gazzuzz... He is so daft.
You bought my old engine from me and now snitch into my Facebook page to crop out where I advertised the sale of the engine while it is Gazzuzz that adviced me to sell it out before he CUNNINGLY bought it at a ridiculous amount. This boy keep on exposing himself as FRAUD
Bros, I want this matter to end please. I have volunteered to send a tow truck driver to pick up your car from Gazuzz workshop anytime he is going to remove your engine. That way, you are rest assured of taking your car away from there to any workshop of your choice. Even to Ladipo for free. Since he's getting you some refund, arrange another engine so as to reduce the time you will spend without your car. In all, give him respect. I bought a gear in 2016 for nissan murano and till date when I returned it, I never got a replacement neither did they refund my money. I was told to wait for the next shipment coming in with grade one gear box. I had to pay the owner back without getting a refund. It was Nissparts that later saved me from the stress. Call me when you are ready for the towing. 08098534267

I used to do that o but na 2 weeks warranty. If he fly inside gutter, na my fault.
Anyway, to resolve this matter, I will send a tow truck to Gazzuuz workshop to help the complainant tow his car away for free after the engine must have been removed. I believe that is his major concern. We should end the war. Students are building electric cars and aeroplane here in the country and that should occupy our time.

I mean everything including fruits
You are very correct but there is one thing you don't have and it is pineapple. I was in Benin the other day and I saw hundreds of J5 buses carrying pineapple to the North. Our onions from Benin is better than the one from the North, ditto the tomatoes that is round in shape. Don't forget that the yam from Benin is termed the King of yams by IITA. Can you compare our Orange and Mango to the one from the North? Banana and plantain? Do you have tangerine, pepper fruit, and many others too numerous to count in the North? Our diversity is our strength and should not be used as claims of superiority. The quality of food grown by fertilizer for irrigation can never be the same quality like the one that grows drinking the rain from heaven without fertilizer and other implements.

The locally used ones are parked up in the owner's house or they have been abandoned in a mechanic workshop. I have never worked on any one. There was one that a lady wanted to bring in for repairs but she was skeptical if I was going to continue from where the last mechanic stopped in feeling good with her resources. Most times, when we want Evoque parts, we tell the parts sellers that we want parts for Freelander 2 and it is now cheaper. I hope you understand my drift.

Thank you sooperescue for this thread. I was afraid of buying a Land Rover brand. Now I want to buy a 2008 Freelander and need some advice on maintenance and other possible issues that may arise from the use. Starting with the cost at N3.5m, is this expensive or ok at that price? How much is the maintenance and at how many miles should someone service the vehicle? What are other things I should watch out for?

Thanks for your reply.

Freelander 2 for 3.5m? Too high for the price currently. The parts are almost similar to the Evoque but it is a good car and service is twice a year using the recommended oil. If you add a million to the price, you can get an evoque somewhere else.
