u should try castrol edge

i'm using castrol edge 5w-40 full synthetic, and has been great for 10km before i go for service. My car service interval is 10km.

how does castrol edge 5w40 compare with shell helix ultra or royal purple ?

Engine: Campro CPS

brand: Petronas Syntium 800
model: 15W-40
price: ~RM95 (forgot exact price)
feedback: so-so. not so good, not so bad... but definitely not very good after 5k.

brand: Petronas Mach5
model: 20W-50
price: ~RM60 (forgot exact price)
feedback: the worst oil for CPS engine. FC spiked, engine feels very lazy.

brand: Shell Helix
model: 20W-50
price: ~RM60 (forgot exact price)
feedback: so-so. not so good, not so bad... better than Mach5.

brand: Petronas Syntium 800
model: 10W-30
price: ~RM110 (forgot exact price)
feedback: i think this is one of the best oil grade to be used in CPS engine. however, being Petronas I dont think it will last longer than 5k. only used once, cannot elaborate much. and expensive compare to other brand too since it's in 3L and 1L package...

brand: Shell Helix HX7
model: 10W-40
price: RM99
feedback: I think one of the best oil for CPS engine though Proton recommends 10W-30... still, i wouldn't recommend for usage exceeding 5k... might be usable, but not recommended...

All the while I'm using mineral for my myvi. Plan to change it to full syn.

Any recommendation on which brand/model to use and where to get it?

any brand that come into ur mind and exclude those name u never heard b4 and u r safe. any famous fully syn oil brand out there is safe as long as the oil grade is correct for ur engine and u wont go wrong oledi under normal or severe driving condition.

unless u have specific requirements than specific oil is needed, like u always going for high rev, track race and etc....

normally i'm using NASA brand for mineral.

myvi is using 10W/40?

any place that got alot choices I can shop around?

brand: Mobil 1
group: Super 2000
model: 10W-40
price: RM95
feedback: Less noise. Smoother revs. Esso RON95 vs Shell RON95. Esso hands up Shell RON95 sucks ! (just additional info)

Used on my Satria 1.6 1995 which is eating engine oil.
Yet to go for overhauling.

Brand: Eneos
Oil Type : 20w50
Price : RM50
My Thoughts : engine smooth and oil still available even after 4K km
Rating : 4/5

Brand : Pennzoil
Oil Type : 20w50 - on the bottle said recommended for car eating oil
Price : RM45
My Thoughts : normal but almost lost all engine oil after 3K km

Brand : Petronas Mach 5
Oil Type : 20w50
Price : RM56
My Thoughts : normal

Opinion, for my car which consumed engine oil, both mach 5 and eneos is ok but eneos has been showing better fuel consumption compared to mach 5

My engine consumes engine oil .. but after using bardahl 15w-50 mineral, it some sort of reconditioned my piston rings and now i'm using semi-syn. nvr consume black oil already

there is a topic about fake engine oil
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...l=fake+oilumbs:

my dad and all my family now use Petronas oil cos with it the engione will be safer and have peace on mind

My dad said he feel indeed the Petronas oil are better than Shell oil and mobil. He dont use it before becasue fake seller said not good and sell fake oil now he never turn back and will be using Petronas oil on all his car. He buy the oil from Petronas station and gain point

10km service intervals ? You must damn free to do this lol Or Castrol sucks ?

hi, im driving S4PH engine..next month may service my car
so far using:

brand: ELF Molygraphite
group:
model:15W50
price: last i know RM80
feedback: don't know the exact regarding this but so far engine running smooth

//this oil good? if any brand/molecule model good for my engine, may give a try..hehe

ELF Molygraphite is good

Chemlube Full Syn 10-40w..

Seriously damn nice

Engine: Corolla EE80

Brand: Shell
Model: Helix (20w50),yellow bottle
Price: RM58
Feedback: Oil color turned yellow-brown at 5000km, I considered this as the best oil I ever use.

Brand: Castrol
Model:20w50
Price:RM45
feedback: Oil turned dark after 3000km. Ended up beh tahan the color then changed oil at 4000 km.

Brand: Shell
Model:X100 (20w50), white bottle
Price:RM42
Feedback: Color-wise, X100 last longer than Castrol, but still cannot beat Helix. Performance no comment.

castrol macam ronaldo. unreliable at the most competitive stage.

Following the initial success in the marketing of Pennzoil products by UMW Auto Parts Sdn Bhd, Pennzoil USA in its major globalisation programme in1991, awarded exclusively the marketing and distribution rights of Pennzoil in Malaysia to UMW Holdings Berhad.

Dear friends, when you tell your mechanic you want a Pennzoil 20w-50 engine oil, please make sure it is blue-bottled GT Performance Plus.

There is another Pennzoil product with same SAE grade, named MGMO, usually cheaper than the former.

Pay attention to API rating on the bottle.
GT Performance Plus is API SJ
MGMO is API SG.




If the workshop don't have GT Performance Plus, go get one outside.

(This message is dedicated for Pennzoil 20w-50 users only)

Here is another comparison among the obsolete Shell Helix Super, newer X100, and HX3.







It is apparent that the obsolete Helix Super is 'HO LIAO' actually, duno why stopped production.
Meanwhile, based on API ratings, X100 is actually 'as good as' HX3. Most probably the additive is the difference.

Their prices are:
Helix Super ,API SL, RM58
X100, API SG, RM42
HX3, API SG, RM48
Perhaps the price already tells something.

Try MPZ Magnetic Friction Reducer with every engine oil change for extra protection of pistons and cylinders. MPZ Magnetic Friction Reducer adheres to iron and steel surfaces where it is chemically absorbed and becomes part of the surface itself.
