If you run generators, diesel engines, and other types of engines that use engine or lubricant oil, you should not just go to the market to buy any type of oil. Why? Because bad/inferior oil can spoil your engine and cost you thousands of naira.

In this post, you learn how to find a good place to buy quality oil and how to know which is inferior quality.

First, if you want to find a place to buy engine oil and lubricants near you, make sure you do a thorough search. Ask friends and family for recommendations. An easier way will be to check online for oil and lubricant suppliers near you. But here is what most people don't do when they search online - they don't check for reviews. So make sure you check for reviews from their buyers to see if what they sell is superior and there are no complaints.

If you live in Warri, or anywhere close by in Delta state, Ovoil is one of the top dealers in Warri for oil and lubricants. I have worked directly with them, which is why I am focusing this post on their business. You can check them out on Google maps and see what their customers are saying.

Now, let's talk about how to know superior engine oil from inferior one.

1. Observe the smell. If you are new to buying engine oil, make sure you get used to the smell after the first few times of buying your oil. Superior oil has a unique smell, and so does inferior engine oil. If you use a particular engine oil from a particular dealer, and it eventually turns out to be superior, take note of the smell. This way, when you buy engine oil from a different supplier, you'll quickly know if they sold a fake one for you.

2. Buy from the same supplier. It is the effect of the oil on your engine that will determine if it is superior or not. If you buy from the same dealer consistently, you can observe how the oil affects your engine over time. And if it develops a fault, you'll know the exact supplier that caused it. But if you keep buying from different suppliers, you'll end up not knowing which particular oil caused damage to your engine.

3. Your engine always knows when the oil is of low quality. No matter the explanation your mechanic gives you, take note that good-quality engine oil causes no damage to your engine. So if your engine keeps breaking down without a good explanation, it's a sign of bad engine oil.

In conclusion, search online and look for good reviews to find an engine oil supplier near you. And also check the quality of the oil using these 3 things we've mentioned in this article.
