wait. in which part that torco mentioned that their motor oils are suitable for diesel engine? also, regardless of motor oil compatible with diesel engines, i dont think one should assume that this works vice versa? just the additive contents and detergent contents is different enough to warrant a valid justification that it should not be suitable.

also, no "hard feelings".
and yes, none at all. i won't be pouring diesel engine oils into my car, thanks

So bro wunpeng, your magna M1 S710 engine oil that you are using having a TBN 9,is it a diesel engine oil?  

http://static.lowyat.net/uploads/attach-98...-1343728215.jpg, best part is under the performance column , there is this mercedes 228.1 , please open this link http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/bevolisten/228.1_en.html.. they are all diesel engine oil

amsoil xl http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/xlo.aspx , also TBN 9, so it must be a diesel motor oil too??

Caltex Havoline 10w-40 https://cglapps.chevron.com/msdspds/PDSDeta...1&docFormat=PDF, having TBN 10.9...also hdeo??

Added on August 7, 2012, 6:42 pmi am using on my 2006 camry and 2009 mitsu, my friends use it on panamera and wrx..

Comment on this monogred then http://www.ro-quip.com/Technical_Docs/Roya...or%20Oil_ps.pdf

most 10/30 oils are mineral based ke ? ya meh ?

? y cannot ?

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

not really 10W30 must semi syn or mineral
but with 5W and lower, should be semi syn and fullly syn

i can make 10W30 fully syn. how abt market acceptance ?

Distilled water is cleaner than tap water for bathing. But do you need distill water for bathing?

Synthetic is better than mineral to protect engines. But do you need Synthetic for use in Proton?

Same logic.

In all my years and my friend's year of driving turbo diesel which are harsher on engine oil then petrol engine, never once do we have engine oil related problem with using Mineral. The longest we kept our engine were 1/2 million kilometer before selling off and even then, no problem

as salam,
guys guys....come on....you forgot what i mention before....
it is depend from which company are the additive come from....different additive manufacturer will give you different formula base on what their experience and reputation...

i know 1 very good company: LUBRIZOL....

sarjantulang

Infenium and afton also..

why ask such question ?
btw i am lubricant industry.

0W30 is not for high performance car la bro, on NA is most best.
high performance like force induction can't use start with 0W oil.

haha. all belong to my boss.. XD.. 10W30 nowdays categorized as semi or mineral .. if sum1 come up 10W30 FS, he's the pioneer.

that's my concern too. where by most malaysia vehicle is japanese ( flat teppet ) and EU ( roller instead )

under SM specification, maximum allowed ZDDP is 800 ppm, well to SN grade is reduced to 400 ppm.

nowdays most of japanese car maker still fine with 400 ppm content of ZDDP.

well maybe oil manufacturer added other additive which similiar criteria with ZDDP we might don't know

i don't know why goes for SN instead of SM or SL is more than enough. since malaysia doesn't have any emission regulation standard ( not even fitted with catalytic converter ? then go for SN for wat ? )

maybe i will start selling kind of ZDDP additive in near future.. XD. the kind word you replied to me is a bit of humiliating.

this is also one of marketing strategy in malaysia, or else you can't make any business.
i also can say that our malaysian is not so interesting to get more knowledge about engine oil

new japan car also flat teppet. but there is some other additive to reduce the valvetrain wear. of course ZDDP for flat teppet is essential. but API is more on EU. not for asian. but it's well known globally.

mine still stick on SM. no SN for me.

brader, we are talking about malaysia market XD. foreign brand of course got lah ..

ACEA also one of the engine oil standard. but most popular is API.

but if u ask ACEA or ILSAC .. perhaps foreman also don't know ...

in our current lubricant technology, we still unable to produce 0W50 or 0W60 for turbo charged cars.

hence, we call for 5W50 or 10W60 would be the best.

0W50 maybe have already. damn expensive. reason why use 50 or 60 .. of course to withstand high temp as well as high load.
in malaysia . probably CF grade is more than enough due to superb high sulfur content in diesel.
those are higher than CF is just bullshit at all. and waste your money only.
the obsession is higher the grade, is the BEST. WTF

somehow DH-1 is better, if we compare to API CX grade.

all the oil manufacturer always VIIs usage as low as possible.. ur kinda rich ..

not say so, if poor man only can afford kancil. then why kancil seem lesser and lesser nowdays XD

Hi. I am newbie here lol. I want to ask is it Honda Manual Car Gearbox using engine oil ?

Not really. Some car uses engine oil in their gear. So best to check your car manual to confirm what oil to use.

Yes, they use different Base Oil. As for the type of additives, they are more or less the same just that some better brand may have better or more than lousy brand.
