"Cold start" means first start when the engine is cold (typically first thing in the morning after sitting overnight, or during the day after it hasn't been driven for hours and the engine is no longer warm) , not the temperature outside 🙆🏾🤣

This is why you sometimes have to leave the car at the mechanic overnight to cold start it for issues that only happen at cold start smh.

ahahah, He still going to argue

MOTIONTECH:
you are still defending wrong knowledge further , engine oil is not just engine oil, the numbers you see on the body are not just numbers, they have meaning.

Yes. We know. And the million of Nigerian drivers and vehicle owners prove that our 50w20 oil has been very good to us and our vehicles.

And I will continue to avoid buying Nigerian used cars

If a manufacturer designs an engine and spend 2 years test in all weather and terrain.

Then they write use 5W20 oil on it.

A Nigerian now bought the car 15years later and after paying N30m for the car should listen to someone who might not even own a Corolla claim that the N5k Mobile 2000 is a good oil for the car.

The tolerance for bearings is a lot tighter now so they designed oils that will flow better at operating temperature.

There is a reason you will not put gear oil in your engine.

20W is the oil viscosity/weight at room temp.,and 50 is at operating temperature in your engine when it is hot(190F)

5W20 to 20W50 When the oil is acting as 50 weight when engine is hot, you cant see it

I used 20w50 on my Belgium 07 corolla from 2012 to 2022 n there was no issue. No oil shortage, no engine problem at all though I used to change every two months. I think what matters is how often u change it, whether or not u bought original one( there are tens of thousands of fake mobil 20w50 in the market), other factors such as original oil filter, how short or long your trip is(driving to drop kids in nearby school n coming back to park at home will still keep oil relatively viscous). .most long distance transporters using Sienna use 20w50, but they use those vehicles n ply lagos to Aba, Aba to Abuja 4 times or more a week without problem. Constant long distance driving reduces oil thickness, thus, better than frequent short trips

Hello Bros, I need a really competent and reasonably transparent Japanese Mechanic in operating within Lagos. I want to have a 1999 Sienna Engine rebuilt. I am counting on serious recommendations drawn from experience.

Many thanks in anticipation.
