TR 5 semi syn

and yes i have ceratec and torco together too, no problem. ceratec costs your engine parts and last for 50k km, means you dont have to "reapply" ceratec until the next oil change around 50k km later. and no, you still need to change your engine oil regularly, just that when you change, ceratec still sticks to your engine.

shell helix is by no means bad, however it is a cheaper mainstream oil, so you get what you paid for.

no idea on penang shops

This is the part I never could understand.

If the surface is dry etc, you can make thing stick to the surface easy. But the inside of the engine are full of slippery oil and it is practically impossible to make anything stick to it unless under very high pressure or temperature of vacuum etc. So how does this ceratec manage to stick to the surface? Sounded more like voodoo magic to me.

the compound is ceramic based and bears an orange color. opening engine oil cap and looking inside would allow you to see said orange colored liquid/things on the engine. if that isn't convincing enough, im not sure what else is

of course there are some more fact/tech spec based explanation, id just leave it to you to read it from their site or google.

My Kancil engine use Caltex 10W30 (green sticker), recommended by my NGV installer.
this oil is specially made for NGV car.

Gear box (manual) use Penzoil 80W90 GL5.

Sure you see the orange stuff there. Try scrapping them off and see whether it comes off easily or not. If it does, then how can it properly cost the engine parts to do what it claim it can?

um, it's not glue, how is it supposed to be permanently stuck on your engine if you're going to go purposely scrape it off? it does require re-application every 50k km or so, which should be a good enough indication that it is not permanent.

personally, you spend maybe rm170 for 50k km, take 5k km per oil change and thats 10 oil change and its just rm17 per oil change. difference you can feel in your daily drive, and visible effect (like i said, open up your engine oil cap and look inside) that the material is coating your engine parts (unlike some engine oil claims like *coughcastrolmagnetateccough* ) properly.

i dont mind and i can afford rm17 per oil change. if it didnt work, i consider it a waste of rm170 or rm17/oil change. no big deal. "sadly", it does work and i think i will be sticking to it

Is it safe to blend LM Ceratec with HDEO?
Thanks.

Too many snake oil in the market. 99% are useless and some even cause more damage than good.

- i'd trust LM to not sell snake oils

- it's useful to me

- haven't got damage to my engine yet, and since it's just a cheapo iswara 4G15P engine, i'll take my chances

Bro, the Ceratec can be mixed with any engine oil? May I know where can I get this products?

AFAIK can. you can confirm with LM/seller if you're skeptical/afraid.

for me i get my LM stuff from Elton aka thundergod_cid from LYN forums

i like this statement..

yes it can be mixed with any oil

Possible but unlikely. Engine and oil are designed to prevent that from happening in the 1st place.

i see. then what about coatings such as http://www.wpctreatment.com/ ? They get scrapped off too?

as salam,

finally i change my engine oil after 17000km++ since last change....really satisfied. wtih the Petro-Canada Duron XL 15w40


yesterday i sumbat the PC Duron Fully Synthetic 5w40......now gonna test how much is the performance and FC also either i can manage to stay until this december

Hi... anyone use TOTAL quartz 9000 future full synthetic 5W 30?
how much? gold bottle 1...

Never bother with any such product because 99% of those metal treatment product are snake oil. Do a google on 'snake oil' for engine and find out for yourself.

Going to service my car. anyone try below which one more suitable for 1600cc?

MoS2 Leichtlauf 10W-30
MoS2 Leichtlauf 10W-40

but i found that Liqui Moly only API SL/CF.
Shell or Eneos now already exceed API SN/CF.

is there really doesnt matter with API? Liqui Moly still better?

doesnt really matter. both of these oil not only meet their specs, but actually exceed the specs. Most of my buyers are not bothered with the API SL/CF anyways as it's already proven with results from pouring this oil in. RM118 10w40 MOS2
