QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Apr 18 2010, 10:49 PM) 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. 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? |

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 ~ |
