can buy sealed and branded ones at a filling station - 50 30W kind of
oil - all those 2k -3k range whether Mobil ,Ap Total Visco 2000
etc)first oil service after 500 - 1000 mileage and then after every
5000 Mileage.
2.For brand new cars that uses synthetic oil ( Mobil 1- 10 - 15k per
galon.. You can only get this at designated filling stations),first
service oil service after 1000 - 2000 mileage, then after every 8000-
10000 mileage. eg VW Passat 2006 -2012 kind of cars..mind you all
these small small toyotas ,hondas and nissans are excluded....am
talking about latest saloon cars and jeeps....you know them when you
see them.
3. For tokunbos as in 1. above..oil service after every 2000- 3000mileage.
Please note that all these are regardless of dates/ days/ months. eg.
if you service a tokunbo camry today and travel with it to abuja from
lagos then back to kano and then to ibadan and back....once the
mileage reads as in above please service..so you see that you can
service every week or month or days..depending on your usage.
Please get your owners manual and read it! For most modern cars, the
owners manual will list the viscosity rating, oil change interval
(mileage and time), API classification/rating (very important!) etc.
for the motor oil needed by your car. This will help you in your
buying choices and save you from being confused or taken by dubious
mechanics.
