Recommendations for euro r h22a engine. tq.

motul redline

my estima, wish, myvi etc also running with different brand of fully synthetic engine oil... i dun see the problems at all

even at the same level of grade, i do believe the oil quality for mineral,semi and fully is different.

if u r driving an old car wit FS, then it may consider a waste of money.

if u r driving a newer gen of vehicles and running wit mineral oil, i think you are abusing it

Never used any FS in any of our new cars and have never encountered any engine oil related problem. Never.

But if I am driving in the Cold Arctic or hot Sahara desert or a Ferrari, I will use FS.

different ppl different though bro...maybe u prefer non-fs

but i only stick to fs.... all my trans/axle fluid are wit synthetic...nothing is mineral based

but of coz, it all depends on what car you are driving to decide what engine oil to use. i.e i dun see a point for you to use FS oil that cost over rm200 in an old iswara....which not so applicable...and if u r driving vellfire/estima/alphard....i dun think u will use mineral oil to the engine also.

as i refer bc to my vehicle recommendation for engine oil..its written : " it is essential to choose the correct grade, quality and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory engine life and performance"..."if the recommended oil is not available, other oil may be used, however, some performance loss may be noticed"

Not a single mention on FS or Mineral.

Of course, if one has plenty of money, can also change oil everyday if they wanted to. Definitely better than changing every 3 months.

I'm with Huakenny. Different people have different take on this. Ran 4 years FS OCI 10k during my NA years. Stripped the engine to checked the engine component, it's still golden new and coated with lube. Oil pan also clean. My 1st attempt on Mineral lasted short.

Well, we have used Mineral on several turbo diesel (tougher on oil than gasoline) and never have problem. OCI was supposed to be 5K but sometime no time to change oil so went to 10K at times. When sold at 500K (other parts of the car are starting to fail), still not consuming any engine oil and never gave any problem so never bother to open up to see what the inside is like. So we never see any need to spend extra on FS.

BTW, we use very good quality Mineral (Delo400). Never Cap Ayam brand or from questionable outlet for fear of fake oil.

Where to buy Delo400 in 18L / 20L packing ?

Why not contact Caltex to find who sell it in your area? I think Tan Chong motor is one of their dealer.

it written fully syn mobil 1...just i didnt state it out..as that only for my car model... Mobil 1 0w40 (100% Synthetic based)....of coz, this one i dig from my Nissan GTR R35 manual

if 0w40 not available, then Mobil 1 10w40 (100% synthetic based) may be used

GTR is not your normal Proton.

As for 0W... oil, only FS has those figure.

For normal car, I never come across a car manufacturer specifying FS. Even those huge turbo charged Scania truck says Mineral is OK.

that y i said....it all depends on car manufacturer.....this is not a Ferrari or Lambo as u said, but a normal JDM Sports car. it required FS too

fully semi or no synthetic

I could never understand why people driving Proton or Toyota Vios or Honda City or Perodua etc using FS. Those are the normal car I am referring to.

they want to protect their car? its just that most people don't realize good semi syn would out protect/provide better performance than cheap full syn.

mineral oil doesn't give me lasting performance/smoothness beyond 2-3k km. so i am totally DONE with that shit.

5W-30, 10W-40, 5W-40

Wtf ultraman engine oil? Hahaha.

price:rm75
feedback: quite good. Engine feels light. FC average

brand: Idemitsu
model:5w40 (Full Syn)
