weyreypey:I have not seen the oil but if it was produced according to my little inputs, then I will give a pass mark to the oil. The factory is there. It's not a blending factory, it is a production facility where the oil is analyzed in their laboratory with competent workers . They have the interest of the motoring public at heart. The oil will change the way we do things and grant respite to our sufferings. Let's wait for the oil before we comment. |

[quote author=FordMania post=74354161]And what is confusing is that even though it is 5w30, this oil also has the starburst API SN RESOURCE CONSERVING, ILSAC GF-5. It meets Ford WSS-M2C946-A. My manual recommends 5w20 meeting Ford WSS-M2C930-A! The questions arise: 1. Isn't 946 backward compatible with 930? 2. If it isn't, kindly install an Australian App called Penrite Oil (With the reasoning that Australian weather is somewhat similar to ours), select 2010 Ford F150 FX4 5.4 3V 4WD; The funny thing is that they recommend the 5w30 (Ford M2C946 spec) first then the 5w20 as an alternative. IT IS ALL TOO CONFUSING!!! HELP Using 5W30 oil for your vehicle will not blow out the engine. However, your vehicle will not run as efficiently as it should and you may experience a loss of fuel economy. Your vehicle runs best at 5W20 and this is the type of oil that is recommended by the manufacturer; I will advise you to use the type of oil that the manufacturer recommends. The 5w30 cannot be backward compatible to 5w20 as the 5w20 is newer than the 5w30. So the 5w20 is backward compatible to the 5w30. Unimark engine oil is a product of Syngard oil and one of the best oils made for Vehicles produced for the North American car market. Like I stated earlier, it is not available for sale to the public but I can squeeze 3 cartons out for you which can last 2 years of six months oil change interval. |

weyreypey:Bros, I will suggest that you create the thread on Liqui Moly and then invite me to give an opinion. Like I stated earlier, this thread is for our local oils sold openly and we wanted to know why we are running to these foreign brands when we have synthetic oils produced for the local market. Until I even started this thread, I did not even know that these oils were suitable for Nothing SN. But Oando has changed from 5w40 to 5w30 while Total has added API SN 5w30 which was not there before the beginning of the thread. Seahorse will soon roll out its synthetic oils and it is going to change the market. Many oil dealers are still producing obsolete oils but when they realise that there is no buyer, they will take it back the way Oando withdrew all their oils XL, SM, and SL and turned everything to SL. But we still need to do more because the 5w30 usage practically ended for majority of the vehicles of 2009 models and 10 years down the line, no local oil company is thinking of meeting up to the standard of the current 0w20, which from all that I have seen is the top notch all weather engine oil. There are cars that also require 0w16 and we don't know what to do about fulfilling the oil requirements of the car. Why buy a car and let the system destroy it for you. When Seahorse enters the market, who will bother about Castrol or Liqui Moly? When the products from Seahorse arrives at my office, we will talk about it and then we will be relieved that we have eliminated one of the major factors destroying our vehicles and then move to the next phase to eradicate substandard mechanics, spare parts and room and parlour car dealers. It is for our good. Imagine the guy that bought brand new FORD vehicles and the engines knocked using the wrong oils. If he had access to good oils, he will never buy Q9000, except to use for his generator. |

[quote author=weyreypey post=74347464]Bros I am not the seller. Kindly review this brand...to make this thread complete!! Seasons greetings[/quote I know the seller but if I ask for free gallons, they will not give me. But like you know, we are talking about the local oil, the ones within reach, that a lot of people grew up knowing. We needed to know if they have our interest at heart or they are exploiting us . If I want to be a franchised dealer of a car brand , I will ensure that the oil should be available to make the car repairs available to all. I once challenged a Peugeot staff that why are not telling everyone to use Mobil 1 esp when they knew that Total oil was not suitable for Peugeot cars, he told me that if they bring the car to the dealership, they will use the right oil. I asked him that do Peugeot owners use the dealership? The cars obj gave them, how many among them took the cars to the dealership? Even number plate, they could not afford. It is the same thing with the oil companies. The oil that they are selling, who is their target cars? Vw igala and Peugeot 505 evolution? |

weyreypey:Nooo. it still has its better side. A V6 engine with 12 plugs of that era will gladly welcome that oil. I worked with Q9000 for 3 years full time and it was a delight to the engines then but its era is over as regards newer engines as old as 2009. But does Total really have engine oils for newer cars? I don't think so. The 5w30 is mainly imported to meet the needs of Peugeot owners and if you have the gasoline engines only warning for your car, then it is not advisable to use an oil that is suitable for petrol and diesel engine oil. I am still studying the effect of using such engine oils on newer 4 cylinder engines that requires 0w20. |

FordMania:If an auto dealer will tell you something like that, then we are in for a loonnng thing. Using 5w20 synthetic blend has always been the best thing anyone who wants his car to last will do. I will advise that you import the oils by yourself to help you make your investment to last. But I dont understand why you will use Total Q9000 that is even not suitable for Peugeot 508 on your engines. If it cannot work for a Peugeot, will it work on a Ford? I have UNIMARK 5w20 synthetic blend API SN, gasoline engines only oil but it is not sold publicly. I can get you three cartons that will last over 2 years and they are in 5 quart gallons. I believe that when a manufacturer specifies oil for only gasoline engines, we should stay away from oils for petrol and diesel engines. Sorry about the expenses incurred. |

FolarinEmmanuel:What do you want him to confirm? That the oil is suitable for Volvo, BMW, Range Rover, Audi? Tell us once again which of these cars is specified to use Magnatec. Then we will thank you later. I was looking for Castrol C1 Magnatec stop and start and on Castrol's website, they directed me to where to buy and these my people in Ikoyi has never heard of stop and start Magnatec. Folarin, the cars that are on our roads today requires high end oil and your company should be in the forefront of promoting these oils and not the low end. Who needs a full synthetic when there is ADVANCED full synthetic? |

It was a 2016 evoque and the incident occurred last year December and it was coscharis that gave the owner the bill. And they were the one that serviced the car. The engine on Ford is better than in Range Rover especially the issues with the 2012 and 2013 models. Restricted performance is number one sign of trouble brewing and most owners don't care about the oil like the one I saw in Kano. It was too sluggish and by the time we checked, the sludge was making the oil pump pressure to be too low. We are fixing the car as we speak trying to remove the sludge first before other things like air filter which was very dirty. 1 Like 1 Share |

| Car Talk › Re: Total Quartz 9000 by sooperrescue(m): 8:14am On Dec 17, 2018 |
CityNGR:In 2008? I was not talking about oil then. But I knew about our transmission fluid because as far back as 2003, abro has destroyed my Volvo 760 gear box 3 times, so by 2005, I started going round atf companies trying to know what they are producing. Many don't even know whether they are producing dexron or type a. I went to coscharis to ask them why they were importing Abro and if they were using same in their garage. I went to Son and all that they knew was zero about the atf and the oil. In 2004, Mobil invited me to come over and help them penetrate the Berger car market with their Mobil 1 because they discovered that I have a project there. I see Mobil 1 as big man oil and that the mineral oil was for not too deep pockets. But the question we all ignored to ask was what was the effect of using wrong oil and low octane fuel on a car? As at 2000, while we were using leaded fuel, Mercedes E240 was requesting for unleaded premium fuel only and it was the reason they all disappeared from the road. The same issue affected Passat and Bora. Sludge came from using the wrong oil and the problem became obvious when even Toyota started having that issue and prevented the oil pump to supply oil in the engine. Have we learnt anything from the past? |

CityNGR:For a 2001 Benz E240 or 320, good oil. When I was driving my E240 in 2008, na 20w50 get me. The sludge inside was too thick one so tay the car will say oil level low and after you top it, it will later say oil level too high. Ignorance was high then on my part. |

VolvoS60:The seller should tell us because he is confused about the two bodies. He said apqi logo is on their can while all that I could find was Api. Apqi is an independent body that test and verify the claims of all oils produced in the US market while the Api is another body that determines the oil standard. They with ilsac and acea together determines how the oil should be and in accordance with the car manufacturers certifies that the oil meets their standard. As for the advanced full synthetic oil and full synthetic oil, bros, the difference is in the advanced. |

diportivo:In his haste to sell his oil, he pasted another spec sheet for an atf that he does not have the oil. I have used the atf on a Ford F150 and we had to bring down the gear. The atf is suitable for mercon and not even mercon v or lv and he is showing us that it is looking. He is a fraud. I have finished my assignment. Thanks for the invitation. If I can harrass the Dg of SON, is it an oil peddler that will bring oil to sell to those who believe in everything American? I have someone with a warehouse filled with royal purple Api sleeve and I refuse to support him because unless for Toyota, which car is still using Api sl? Royal purple is even better than castrol. Duramax synthetic blend is certified by apqi. Show us proof that the full synthetic oil is also certified. Diportivo , Thanks for the invitation. 2 Likes |
