The tipstick where you normally check whether your is gauge or not, the recommended oil for the transmission is written there while for your engine oil, you see the recommended oil on the top cover.

For the engine oil use a reputable brand ( we have a lot all with various price range Mobil, Liquimoly, Hardex and the likes ) for the ones try and get from a reputable supplier that won’t sell fake
For your gearbox I hope it isn’t Cvt though, send a picture of the vin stamp to confirm, otherwise use the oil as specified by the picture below

For engine oil the most popular in Nigeria is Mobil 1 and fake original.. for all your original oil we got you cover...

For transmission fluid do not change it unless it is needed . Plz leave it alone u could end up doing more harm than good

minista94(m): 6:50pm On May 10

Alright thank you

I read somewhere that mobile1 is too light, that it causes engine knock.

I don't know how true it is..

No they use another fluid for those transmission, as someone below has advised,
Don’t change yet until you determine the condition of the transmission fluid when it arrives or better still get the vehicle maintenance history if (it was probably done at the dealership ) and check if they ever changed it.

Okay, I won't be buying from dealer, I'm getting directly

Stick to Mobil 1 imported from the USA and know the source of your oil. You will be fine

minista94(m): 9:01pm On May 10

Okay, please is there any other brand of mobile 1?
