Car not abused yet. And I want to hold you responsible

6000 miles or 6 months. But if it dries before 6 months, do not say I told you

Shalomc:
How much is oando? If it knocks my engine I will hold you responsible. What is the mileage cover for oando syn?

hmmmm. is it not that C240 that you have abused with SAE 50 or another car? I cant vouch for them but compared to MRS, I will take a risk

I will suggest Oando syn. At least they put vehicles approval on their gallons even though it has not been verified. And they will give you four bottles of coke per gallon, so two gallons, 8 bottles

And when you see this website and click on where to buy, tbat is the end of the story. They are full of deceit. On ground and on air, Total are cheats

Shalomc:
There is. Check attached.

This is what I have been talking about. That oil is not sold in Nigeria. This is an API SN. The one we have here is api sl, 15w40

Shalomc:
Total quartz 7000 10W-40 should exist..

No, q7000 is 15w40. I know all their products, they recently upgraded their Classic to 20w50 from Sae 40.

Shalomc:
What do you have against total Q7000 10w-40? Is the MRS 10W-40 any better?

The Land Rover Freelander requires 10w40 API SL and I had been looking for it before I settled for Total Q7000 which is 15w40 API SL. If I had known about MRS, maybe I should have tried that but theirs is expensive. 9500 to 7k+ for Total. But I would have used MRS if I had known about it.

Venue pls?

Federal palace hotel

Shalomc:
What is the problem with these people? One of them said it was 18k for 10W-40 semisynthetic. Is the one you priced conventional oil?

It was 9500 and api sl. I was excited because I was looking for such grade to service a freelander and I managed Total Q7000. The synthetic goes for 13500. I was amused that MRS intend to sell in the Ecowas region hence the bilingual info on the gallon. The lub manager promised to send the details that I asked for but I am still waiting for his call. Thanks for your efforts. With the upward review of the minimum benchmark to Api sf, all those oils that are a disgrace to the brand should be withdrawn from the market. SON should have taken the review to Api sj which will allow better products into the market. Honda baby boy v6 requires 5w20 api sj and the owners are using any 20w50 they find.
Investigation continues....... Join me at the auto fair tomorrow. It is a must be event. Our vehicles future is at stake.

The 10w40 that I saw which is 9500 is api sl. The total oil packages are not healthy. The lub guy promised to call back but he has not done that. He claimed that the api sc/sd on the sae 50 is an error. On where they got the NIS sticker, though it is voluntary, we decided to talk later. I cannot advice anyone to use the 5w40 when we dont have any vehicle approval for the oil. At least let it even be Gm diesel.

dollarnaira:
What!!!!
Api Sc?
This is evil..

Na today? Some driver will buy the oil to service a 17m Toyota Corolla and claim good for our weather.

Shalomc:
Call this 014614505 that should be the lubricant manager

Thanks. I have spoken to him now

Shalomc:
Oh good. I just spoke with an engineer at the mrs head office... Who promised to give me the number of the lubricant manager. Kudos.

How did they get NIS logo on the API SC SD and SF?

Waiting for the number. Been trying to call those lines you gave and it is a waste of funds. Like I stated earlier, the new minimum benchmark is API SF. And it is becoming interesting.........

Findings

Just called SON and they told me that they recently upgraded the minimum oil benchmark to API SF and that there are no additives to even support API SD obsolete oils. The NIS mark on MRS products is misleading as they cannot use the mark on an API SC which was below their minimum benchmark in 2004. The API Sd has been on since 2004 and was recently reviewed to API SF. So what are we doing with all these obsolete oils in the country. Even the SF is obsolete but SON used their church mind and reviewed it.

Investigation continues.....

They are truthful sha o. They put danfo and santana fotos on one of their oils while forgetting that danfo drivers use roadside oil to service their buses

Shalomc:
Oh good. I just spoke with an engineer at the mrs head office... Who promised to give me the number of the lubricant manager. Kudos.

How did they get NIS logo on the API SC SD and SF?

That is what baffles me. I need the lubricant number please. This oil is something else. They are hoarding information.

Shalomc:
Be fast with the report.

At your behest, I went to the MRS at ile zik and saw the elusive synthetic oil. Apart from it being an Api sn, there is no information about the vehicles that it has approval for, only that it was made in Holland. I saw the other obsolete oils. Api sc/sd and api sf and it even has NIS logo on it.
Investigation continues

Shalomc:
Be fast with the report.

Yes ma.

Merci

Shalomc:
Sir you will have to get the oil yourself. Happy oiling.

Laissé tombé alors. The review is not feasible without the oil. Do it yourself. Oil that is not even on your website, is that oil?

Shalomc:
Correct. We await the response and your review. The SAE 50 is API SF.

Api sf for cars produced in 1988. 30 years old vehicles. Peugeot 504 sl and Gr. Vw Santana and Lada and Volga, and Vw igala, and Vw beetles aka tortoise car and Suzuki. Api SF was the reason SON raided the warehouse of Seahorse claiming substandard products. Why are the avoiding the major oil dealers is strange. Anyway, good to know. We are on. Dont forget to send me all those information and oil so that we can start the process. Good morning

Anyway, it is good to note that you are interested in the review of the MRS Synthetic oil. On your website, there is no information about the oil.

To make my review easier, please send us the two gallons. We can pick it up at your Ile Zik outlet. You can call me too on 08098534267. Let us help your products by giving it an objective review. Note that Oando has moved to 5w30 full synthetic with BMW LL04 and many more. You can also send me the number of the lubricant manager so that I can bypass protocol. You can also send me the data spec sheet of the 5w40 through automobilesng@yahoo.com and the approved vehicles list. let me use this week to know more about the oil. I am taking up the challenge because I believe that we should not judge a book by the cover.

Thanks, will do that

Make it available for him now. Abi you didn't see where he has been saying he is looking for the oil?[/quote]Thank you o for coming to help. Doportivo, where are you. I want to use your sienna to crosscheck the Mrs oil in your car if the viscosity is still intact.

Are you ready for the off road competition?

I will do that if you can direct me to where I can get the oil. Meanwhile I will be at the auto fair on Tuesday in Victoria Island. Hope you will be there too.

dollarnaira:
Well said shalomc his concerns should b d Api grading in Nigeria.Visco 2000 is Sl whether it is sl or not i dont v d tech to determine dat.How is he even sure whether d imported api too are true.Oh bc it is imported?

Visco super static is API SG 20w50 and it is obsolete. Like you rightly stated, we dont even know if what they claim to be is true. I am not promoting imported oils but making the local oil marketers to change their orientation about the market specification for our oil. SON is still putting their logo on obsolete oils and since that is the order of the day, then we should look elsewhere. Has MRS improved on their products since they took over from Texaco?

If you have read the thread, you will notice that I have not said a word about MRS. I have not seen the product and so I cant even talk about it/ There is an outlet at Ajah and I wanted to buy from them and they had none. I was at Grammar school rd junction at Ojodu and I did ask for it and they did not have it. There is even an outlet at the back of my workshop at ille zik and it is not there, the few times that I have gone to buy fuel there. Should I engage a town crier?

Send two gallons of the oil to my workshop and let me check it out. Also bring 6 litres of the dexron 111 too. Thanks And there is also a possibility that we might invite you to our radio program AUTOWATCH on radio 103.5 FM to tell the motoring public more about the oil. Reminder that the MRS and Forte are the only 5w40 that claims to be synthetic. Total Q9000 is synthetic blemd

Shalomc:
What do you think about MRS synthetic oil or liqui moly synthetic oil 5W 40, 10W 40? Is their quality reliable? I am interested in this cause.

Are you working for MRS? You seem to be asking questions about the product. Can you help highlight the attributes of the oil and the approvals with major brands of vehicles?

How much is 2018 toyots corrola?
