LUBRIZOL is quite common and most of the oil manufacture is using this company's additive... The Oil I am using now also using a lot of additive from LUBRIZOL.

Infenium and afton also..

Ya, you are right....

hi buddies, wanna ask whether myvi engine (2009) can use 10W40 oil? tq

Can, I think better use xxW-30

if perodua engine oil gold is 5W30, but not sure can buy from SC or not

The "customer" Thundergod_CiD was referring to was probably me.

Yes, I read the user manual and yes, COE poured 15w-50 oil into my FLX SE because that is the only Petronas fully-syn EO they carry (Petronas Syntium 1000). I didn't know they used such high viscosity fully-syn oil on my car because I specifically asked for 10w-40 fully-syn, which they don't have.

By the time I realized it, it was too late.

Don't make stupid assumptions like "Many of those people know nothing and never read the car manual either". I sent my car to Proton COE because it is a Proton car running on Campro engine. Apparently they thought it was OK to pour 15w-50 EO into my engine, so should I trust you or should I trust Proton and their "Lotus engineers"?

Why should you trust me? I am not an engineer and beside, I didn't give you anything in Black & White. And if people do read their car manual, then why are there so many asking "can I use such and such an oil" when the info are already in the booklet itself?

Instead, you should trust things that are written in Black & White and that means the car manual. This is because those SC mechanic aren't engineers either. In fact, I find some of them are idiots who know nothing. So what does your booklet said about FlX?

I believe you can use 15W50 but must be Fully Synthetic. But you probably will get worst Fuel Consumption and lost of power. Did you?

amsoil good for BLM?got help preserve better fuel economy?

There are many good 5w30 oil out there , I personally tried petro Canada 5w30 on my Mitsubishi Grandis at it works pretty good.. Not forgetting Amsoil , royal purple, torco , liqui moly, pennzoil and many more..

yup, but perodua oil only rm86, i think the brands u mentioned r more expensive right?

Im using Mobil1 from Maddriver's garage...enough for me.

Negotiate hard enough.. Maybe more or less the same.

this nearly happened to me, i went to two different sc before i finally found one who knew what they were talking about.
what i did, a few days before i planned to send my car for the first service, i went to the sc that i was planning to send it to and asked, what oil they have in stock and what not, just to do a bit of rec'ce ,
they told me, exoras, pour 10/40 , when i argued with them about the service book asking for 10/30 , they said the book is wrong, i told them thank you and good bye. then i went to an authorized center, the one that usually does my dad's car, and the moment he saw my car, he said, oh this car cant use the normal engine oil, must use 10/30 , he didnt want to even pour 5/30 .

just because they are ,mechanics at proton service centers doesnt mean they are trained by the factory. the f***ers are half past six most of the time. hence i rather send the car to the authorized center where i can stand next to a mechanic and observe his work.

i would prefer not to send my car to a SC where i cant observe their work...

I agree that 15w-50 is not suitable for my car, in fact I am still pissed. I ask for fully syn so that I may skip the 15k km service, but little did I know the only fully syn they have is 15w-50.

I am not blaming the mechanic, it is not them who made the decision to only stock 15w-50 fully syn in the first place. This is not some authorized SC, this is PROTON COE for pete's sake. This is a decision from higher up and only god knows why they think this is a good idea to introduce 15w-50 oil into our engines.

Anyway, like I said, since it is a Proton endorsed oil, I am just gonna assume is good enough for the Campro and thats it. I will be servicing again at 15k and probably got for a 30 weight oil.

i found that torco oil is much expensive than liqui moly or others.

about the same price actually.

This is what I have saying all along and many disagree with what I said. According to the car manual, the best oil is 10W30. Furthermore, the manual also specifically said you can not use 5W30 in Malaysia. While I do not know the reason for that, and there is still a slim chance of printing mistake in the manual, I am nevertheless going to trust the manual more than anyone else including self professed Einstein.

Added on August 21, 2012, 9:47 pmYou mean it is kiasu on insisting on 10W30 oil for wanting better fuel economy? And it is not kiasu to use heavier oil that gives worst fuel economy? What kiasu logic is that?
