Hi, any wira 1.5 auto owner here using Petronas engine oil ? any recommendation and opinion ?

some research from the net for wira more than 5 years :

1) Petronas Syntium 1000 15w50
2) Syntium 800 15w50
3) Mach5 20w50

currently i am using Castrol semi syn 10w40, changing to 15w50 will it feel thicker ?

yes... changing from 10w40 to 15w50 will feel thicker and abit more sluggish....

the numbers stand for oil viscosity... higher the number, the thicker the oil...

ya.. thats the thing i afraid
any petronas semi syn to recommend ? i think my engine is too old to take full syn..

petronas oils are good oils

but too many choices.. dun know which one should i go for.. syntium itself got 5000, 3000, 1000, 800, and Mach 5...hmmmm

but for sure i will go for 10w40 and semi syn

Syntium 5000/3000/1000 are fully syn. 800 is semi and Mach 5 is full mineral. Even the Syntium 1000 will cost more than your Castrol semi-syn. The fully syn oils from Petronas are good oils. I'm using them myself (and have used all 3 of them). I cannot comment for the 800 or Mach 5 as I've never tried them.

how to determine whether it's good or not? my father is using Mach 5 on his 21 years old Saga and the engine is quieter from the last time i drove.

yupe.. syn 1000 cost more than my current castrol semi syn ... but i am scare to convert to fully syn as my engine kinda old d.. 800 got 10w40 ar?

yup, syntium 800 got 10w40, also got 10W 50

owner has already become loyal to liqui moly huhu

now petronas oil gt promotion...seems a gd buys then..bring brought the syn 800 and free the travel bag..haizz wanna take the bluetooth (syn 1000) but the shop x provided then-seems they use by their own...

hahaa.. didn't know that this topic still alive =P

liqui moly is serious stuff... lolx

using petronas 800 15w/50 because of valve seal leaking and consume oil like there is no tomorrow
unbelievable heavy and sluggish ur car will feel same like 20w/50 mineral oil
but good for those engine that have the engine leaking problem

owner should read this article first.. best engine oil for mitsubishi from protonclub :

and quote this from nismo club:

i find that Eneos 10-40 is good and better than Q8 10-40 or Magnatec. Eneos
recorded lowest temperature rise when i used it to whack Sepang and
Genting. It maintains at 95celcius where Magnatec and Q8 shoots up to
100-105celcius, where at that level i feel the engine is not as responsive
at a cooler temp.

hehe.. i dun think there is such thing as "best" engine oil... so it varies from ppl to ppl, car to car

that 5Celcius different might be due to different temperature too, unless the driver recorded the weather and temperature and put it in his review

magnetec from local spare part shop most probably are fake

cheers ~

U never feel it before because we always used cap ayam tiruan oil from sparepart shop for a long long time.

Different brand for sure will affecting the performance of ur engine.

Trust me or not, i dont mind at all. Ur car, ur money. Not mine. Huhu

hehe.. well .. i am using liqui moly now... for sure better than local castro and petronas semi 10w-40
