SON raises alarm on sub-standard engine oil
As part of their responsibility of maintaining standards and ensuring the quality of products imported into their countries, SON has raised the alarm on imports of sub-standard engine oil into Africa.
The Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) has warned consumers about used lubricating oil being recycled and packaged as engine oil under the Toyota brand.
Even though the counterfeit oil is sold as a Toyota product, it was noted that it had no relationship with the automobile brand or manufacturers.
To tackle this threat, inspections and thorough mandatory testing must be conducted on all lubricants and base oils imported into Nigeria.
