@gagak, whats the different between SL and SM?

API 'SM' oils are designed to provide improved oxidation resistance, improved deposit protection, better wear protection, and better low-temperature performance over the life of the oil than API 'SL' oils.

copy from other website.. just google it.. find many good answer.. avoid API SL.. SL is introduced in 2001.. now already 2011...

bro gagak, torco SR1 5w30 fully can last for 10,000km as other fully syn oil did? pls clarify me... tq... might consider this as well... =)

actually i did heard something from others, if u always drive ur car, u can go for fully oil... make u go less trip to sc and save money...

but if u less drive ur car, means do service after a long time... recommend to use semi as if use fully, the interval of servicing might be too long... n the oil stay in the car inside too long not good...

i dunno is it true onot but sounds weird for me...

of course can last for 10,000km..

But some oil filter can't last till 10kkm.....

Its true..general service intervals are 5k km (or 10k if using fully syn) or every 3 months

this is correct.. that is y dont used cap ayam oil filter for fully synthethic..
for honda, dont used blue colour oil filter.. very2 cap ayam. stick to hamp and hamp only.

what oil would you recommend for:
1. Honda City 2009?
2. Kenari (i think it's the 2nd or 3rd model)

Mainly, I am looking at better FC and a good acceleration (if possible).

thanks heaps!

I will suggest get back original Japan parts.... But now just too much fakes around the market..... So I'll just skip the fully-syn and using semi-syn... Then service it every 5000-5500km....

Honda City
Semi 5w30 or fully 5w40
kenari mineral 10w30 or semi 5w30

hamp is wat im currently using...

but ive been curious about the Bosch Type R filters and also the power enterprise magnetic filters.....

just serviced muh car on saturday with Cusco fully syn 5w/40 oil....gotta wait another 10k before i can try out the other filters... would prolly go with the power enterprise filter

magnetic filter is all BS.. you can cut the oil filter to check.. why there is a need for magnetic since ur filter already filtered the oil impurities and etc..

magnetic sump nut is good.

nvm...i wanna be kiasu. get magnetic filter AND magnetic sump nut HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Honda blue colour oil filter is cap ayam?

Honda City
Semi 5w30 or fully 5w40
kenari mineral 10w30 or semi 5w30

@gagak - any brand in particular as well?

yap cap ayam.. ori one is Hamp Green Colour

but the meaning of HAMP is Honda After Market Parts..

brand: Conoco Hydroclear Super All Season
model:10W-40
price:about rm60+
feedback: The oil itself looks very watery,better acceleration and engine feels lighter and more revvy

i know that

as far as i know, there are 5 types of Honda oil filter..

1. HAMP made in Thailand (widely used at Honda SC)

2. HAMP made in USA (made by Filtech Inc.)

3. Blue colour one with Honda logo (made by Toyo Roki Mfg. Co. Japan)

4. Blue colour one with Honda logo (made in USA by Filtech Inc.)

Fyi, Filtech Inc. was established by Toyo Roki Mfg. Co.

5. Blue colour one with Honda logo (made by Honda Japan)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

addition: HAMP Japan oil filter also exist which is also made by Toyo Roki
