Actually a lot of 10W30 was in SEMI based. You can use it if you are not rev up so high RPM for your car. Especially not more than 4.5K RPM.

? y cannot ?

COE themselves. Word from my BLM customers' mouth

Many of those people know nothing and never read the car manual either. So instead, I pick up the car manual and the manual said to use 10W30. Personally, I would rather trust the car manual than those people.

are u sure? i may not know much about the ingredients inside some engine oil but telling that u can only rev not more than 4.5k RPM sounded like plain bull to me.

Who can write to Proton and ask for an explanation ?
Later got reply from Proton , says "just follow the manual, don't ask why"

they are very 'simple' people

This is one of the very strange things that I personally have no clue until recently.. My friends driving exora bold , in the manual stated 10w-30, but went to Proton SC , they use 10w-40..

The manaul did say you can, beside 10W30, to use 10W40 thought 10W40 is not the best choice. But you can't use 5W30

For a sincere question, you want your car last longer or just a few years? Actually if your car got engine oil, no matter you change it or not, your car still can move, just the life of the car engine can last longer or short. If you like to REV, choose higher Viscosity engine oil is help to protect your engine, lower viscosity is for economic use because it is thin and light, your engine can run very easier compare to higher viscosity engine oil.

I have done 1/2 million km with Mineral. Anyone can do that without needing to be a rocket scientist or excessively paranoid over simple thing like engine oil. All need to do is stick strictly to the car manual.

viscosity != engine protection. i think we've made that clear lol

Hmmm.... Been running semi-syn so far and have took my car to at least 10 genting attacks in the past year full rev all the way. No problems even with the piston rings eventhough its an 11-year old engine :hmm;

I argued this with two sc, they said , cannot be 10/30 all campro based engines ,they pour 10/40. When i showed them d book, they kept quiet. So, i didnt go back to them....
I finally found one authorized center, that, the moment thry saw my car, they said...this cfe engine, and cps , must use 10/30. If not long run problem. Dah dua kali service dah, pakai 10/30, 10k oci. Car runs well, though starting 12th, might need to slow down....cant risk the summons by d new system already...

haha. We in same boat. I know I am not a rocket scientist nor a automotive engineers so instead just follow what the manual said. But there are many others who are either ignorant or think they are Einstein so use other oils instead.

BTW, did that mechanic said what sort of long run problem?

waaa.. exora bold that good ah?

They did not lah pulak..

Exora bold is dat good. I've no oil leaks, no issues, on d highway, running at 140, d car doesnt feel like its at speed. U only realize ur speeding when u start flashing others to get out of d way

Do you know that a Supra's recommended engine oil is xw-30?

I don't know about that... Sorry about that... Since if you found the oil suitable for the car, you can go ahead with it... Since Oil is just phamacy for the car, anywhere still need to follow what the foreman(Doctor) Said...

Go back to the point again, every oil content if really same as the bottle written, everything is fine...
