mono grade?

and yea, i guess it is ok to just use cheap mineral oil for flushing. any light viscosity mineral oil to recommend? xw20/xw30 preferably? (lighter than my current 10-40)
*
i jus use sae30 mineral or mineral 10w30 to flush.....i flush once only normally.

lets say normal oil level needs 4L to MAX, i just use 3L to flush...as long as its between MIN and MAX then its ok

In my experience those magnatec can throw into sea ady laugh.gif ..been using it almost 4 years at my late lmst & i found it just so - so compare other reputable brand.


Added on January 17, 2012, 7:27 am

Can i ask what series of torco? I am also now on torco but only can afford the TR-5 10-30 series  tongue.gif  Before this i use eneos 5-30 & i didnt find any difference between those 2 brand. IMO are just great engine oil for my campro.

Next service i want to try LM 10-30 pulak..

Maybe in god will i wanna write review about eneos 5-30 vs torco 10-30 vs LM 10-30 based on my experience. I may not know all the technical mumbo jumbo about engine oil...just wanna share my personal experience

u can try use M7 Japan 5w30....rm1xx only

hey guys... i wanna ask...

now im looking at Q8 plus 15W40 since the price is a bit affordable...
but now the problem is i dont know where to find it in kajang/bangi area...
and i only encountered Sumo R4 5W30 for K-Cars and the price around RM110.

now my problem is my car is Kancil EX880 2001 and i prefer mineral oil than semi/fully synthetic.... 

so my question is...

1. is Q8 plus 15W40 really good for my engine and worth my trouble to go to sunway (which i could think the nearest place to buy the oil)

2. what about Sumo R4 5W40?

3. what other mineral oil that you guys could recommend for me? around RM100 and below but if really good wont mind going up a bit...

thanks in advance and sorry if this is the wrong thread....
*
kancil use xW30 oil rating bro.....

mineral or semi syn enuf...

Perhaps it doesn't suit my car. Btw, previous oil viscosity lower? Maybe LM SS oil viscosity is really lower than Lexus FS oil.. lol.. higher viscosity means thicker, lower viscosity means thinner.. By right 5W-40 should be thinner than 10W-40 right?

5w40 n 10w40 no differences......refer to the number behind

just got my 2nd LM... but this time 10w40.... 10w30 is really nice.... balik kampung to penang 5000rpm all the way lol.... (me using kancil 880) and still can go further but scared lol... but due to a problem with my engine i decided to use a thicker oil and i still considered LM as my best bet....

lets see how it goes..... btw... now days i just love driving my old car even more lol!

if engine got problems better fix it bro...otherwise the fc will be higher due to engine felt heavy coz of thicker oil

Bro the numbers in front & back also got difference.. If not why put it? The front is for colder temp, while the back is for hotter temp.. So the more light the front number, the easier the car can start during cold (especially during morning) this will help your car to save fuel & protect it.. Go goggle it regarding the SAE oil viscosity number means...  brows.gif

not so useful in our climate la....the rear number is concern

Almost everyone in my circle of Toyota friends use Motul (either 4100 turbolight or 6100 synergy). As for me I don't quite feel any difference because I'm still trying to get the hang of the feel of 4AGE (Toyota newbie).  rclxub.gif
I think it should be okay though.

If it was B-series Honda I could definitely tell the difference between Idemitsu, Castrol or Shell of different grades. Last time I regularly use Idemitsu 15w40 for my previous B16A. One time I had Shell Helix HX5 in my B16A (just for the sake of trying ... VTEC sometimes didn't engage and engine felt heavy.  shakehead.gif

yes, if xW30 series oil no problems with your car, then go for it.....for town/street use

if always at highway with mid to high rpm, some ppl wil use xW40 oil.

or xW30 oil mix with 1L xW40 oil

thats wat i owes see la...

hi,
is it ok if sometimes we used Fully/S oil, sometimes we use Semi/S oil? does it harmful to our engine? can we mix engine oil of different brands but same viscosity for our car engine? For 2007 2400cc sedan car, 10w/30 SS or 10w/40 SS oil better ??

QUOTE(pumpman @ Mar 6 2012, 11:01 PM)
Personally I will go for 10w/30.. If there is no oil consumption associated issue..

if u wann superior protection + healthy engine, regardless of how premium or expensive a fully synthetic cost, highly recommended to change at 7000km interval.

8000km for NA is ok
