Learnt something very important here. The VIN number also determine the market for the Range, which also helps in determining where the car comes from. I know many people will take advantage of this service but is there a way to determine the actual mileage through the vin number and history?

erico2k2:
Ehe Bross all Range Rover sports are built in Europe and exported . If you think I'm mistaken plz do a VIN check on the one you have let us see the outcome . .
5 he only other plant they have outside of the U is being built in Slovakia . They also have a plant in India but that's for CKD or knock down and assemble . Just chk the VIN

It is true but they build according to the country's specifications. Do you think the one they send to Coscharis is the same with the one sent to Russia? The one meant for Swiss is not the same spec as the one built for France. That is the difference.

erico2k2:
Just say the EU Spec is better

EU Kini? Swiss Spec of all cars is higher than the Europe and American specs. That is why you see importers fixing CH on their cars to deceive potential buyers.

I am beginning to think that the Swiss spec of a Range Rover Sport is far higher than the US spec. And it is very expensive too.

Been a while but I have been observing the auto industry. Sad that Dangote has shifted his refinery opening date by another four years. I am beginning to suspect that it is a scam. So for the next four years, how will our Range Rovers fare on the road with our regular unleaded fuel? The battle has been tough but we are moving on to the point that I was contemplating restricting myself to the type of range rovers that I have to fix, like the non legacy cars but I cannot behave like a sinner who will abandon the group that fed him. So I will continue to fix the non legacy cars even as I am planning on moving to Europe to open a workshop there and be shuttling between two continents every month. I need the cold weather. Sun has weakened my skin and I need to go and snow-white my skin. But my advice still stands, use octane booster for your engine and use the right oil. Don't use any oil that states that it is good for diesel and gasoline engines. And use Api SN ilsac 5 oils. Happy Sallah holidays. We have 2015 Sports for sale. And we are still available for repairs when you are ready.

AutoElectNG:
I think that Total 5w30 is already on sale...I distinctly recall seeing it a Total Area 3 Abuja and I seem to have a faint recollection about posting a picture of the jugs on this forum

Good to know. I will get in touch with them and get back

Kewtt:
Let's hope it's original and European quality.

According to them, it is original 5w30 onios meant to resolve Peugeot recommendations and also good for other cars engines. I an still waiting for the specs and the oil too. It is not blended in the country.

Kewtt:
How good is Total 5W30 oil?

They have not started selling yet. It is already in the country

Kewtt:
Vboot 190 dey road..Oga range rover

I give you 24hr to showcase 1 on the road

A 323F v6 with a rotary fan, the same that Vw Golf Vr6 borrowed. The best Mazda of all. Powerful and fuel efficient . It was one of the best selling cars in the 90s. Buy it and take it to Gazzuzz for repairs. For those asking for comparison with Benz and BMW, how many Vboot or 190e do you find on the road? Or is it the BMW that smokes on the road. If it smokes, use better oils and polytron and it will adjust

ITS NOT CRAPPY LEX. ITS A GREAT LEX

RANGE ROVERS TOO ARE NICE AS LONG AS YOU GOT THE POCKET & PATIENCE TO KEEP THEM GOING

Talk true. Remove too because no Japanese car maker fit perform to the level of the Range Rover

SHABZ:
Yes, saw the 5w20 variant, I guess I'll make the purchase then. Just wanted to confirm the reputation of the manufacturer. Thanks for your help.

I didn't say it is OK. I outlined that if the manufacturer recommends gasoline engine Oils only, then it is not suitable. Any oil that does not have LL04 for BMW is not OK for your car. Oando is also gasoline and diesel engine and your car requires only gasoline engine oil. Continue searching.....

[quote author=SHABZ post=69555393][/quote]Not suitable. Go for 5w20

SHABZ:
Please see attached

I have gone through the data and all the sellers on jumia and autojosh. I was surprised that autojosh has no information about the oil except that it is synthetic. From their website, it is an oil that is suitable for diesel and gasoline engines, it is suitable for BMW ll01, that means it is not up to oando that has LL04 for BMW . So if your car tells you to use oils for gasoline engines only, then the oil is not suitable for your car. By the way, what brand and model is your car?

SHABZ:
Hi Sooperrescue, have you come across Yuko fully synthetic engine oils? I've been trying to convince myself to use it for some time now as my little research on it gives me a little bit of confidence (although I didn't see the ILGAF5 certification on it)... Just trying to get a more experienced eye on it.

Send the picture so that I can get more info. I have seen it once and I just Waka pass

ikhileomotayo:
Count me in

Sooperrescue knows me, he actually fixed my car when it arrived from the US before I moved it to Port Harcourt

That our over pampered Acura naim you want to use? I nor dey o. Gazzzuz, let's go for Lagos to Benin. I will provide roadside assistance and TV coverage with Autoxpat. Winner will get one year extended warranty powered by Gazzzuz and Egun Mogaji . That Mercedes Benz cdi will dust the G35 any day. A car if it is manual transmission will be at 140km on gear 4. Let's wait for the Benz please so that G35 go know him mate. Even Lexus can't boast like this against the cdi. Good morning everyone

The engine oil requirement is 5w30 and we have Oando , Total that have 5w30 but I have not tried any of them to give my opinion but use any as it is better than the mineral oils that they use in their garages. Is your a turbo? Always use the recommended oil

Almaiga:
Bro, what do you think about Oando 0w30 and the 5w30? I saw this in one of their petrol station close to my place.
When buying recommended engine oil in Nigeria, does brand really matters assuming the rating is the recommended rating stated in the car manual.

I have heard of their 5w30 but I dont know of the other brand. I can vouch for oando in drums even when it was 5w40, but not in their gallons. They dont have an r&d dept and even if they have is just not effective. Their quality assurance is zero. When a manufacturer recommends an oil type for their cars, we should follow the rule. For honda and Toyota, they recommend gasoline engine oils and I am convinced that they mean use only oils meant for gasoline engines and not diesel and gasoline. That is the difference no matter the ratings. Mobil 1 0w40 is now advanced full synthetic even though it is for fuel and diesel cars while the US spec of 0w40 is gasoline only. That is one of the reasons that makes our engines to smoke and wear off.

erico2k2:
35k for new windscreen RRS 2012 bross U sure ni? make I call U, I dey come!

Ok, bring 50k.

erico2k2:
parts are expenssive in the Uk cos of waranty and taxes.I recon the parts in 9ja are after mkt, might be a good thing but who knows, I aint tried them yet.now we are on about parts could you do me a favour chaek the cost of wind screen for the RRS 2012 plz, mine got a lil crack on it

35k, same as the original

And the first advise is for the owners to use genuine fluids. Brake fluids are very important and every owner should be very careful when the fluid is being poured in. Not every dot 4 is dot 4 compliant with Range rovers. Get good ones from reputable dealers. Dont use the green brake oil. It will corrode the brake system and make the car a nightmare to drive.
