Thin oil ma...haha, thts y I wanna ask for feedbacks oso. Cuz many mechanic say no need fully syn. Semi is more thn good, some more 10/40 is what they say la. I take good care of my engine. Just did some repairs on the engine leakage a few months back. 700 gone wei... but worth it la. Now its all good and I actually changed my EO to the magnatec. Very smooth sound. But FC a little bit high cuz the guy told me its quite thick.

i will just quote above post:

even your manual saya 10w30...why opt for 10w40??

like i say before, even a CAMRY 2.4 is using 5w30...not to mention Subaru BRZ and Toyota AE86(new one)...0w20...

me also take care of my saga blm....even DIY service(changing engine oil, oil filter, air filter, plug and others)...using 0w30, 10w30, 15w40, 10w40, 5w40, 5w30...sometimes, mineral, semi syn, synthetic blend and fully syn...

the synthetic oil is not create if it cant be use inside an engine...somemore, kelisa is only 850-1000cc only...using 10w40 will (not much, but some) degrade the FC...use 10w30 or 5w30 semi syn or synthetic blend if u really want semi syn...

Hmm hmm...ok la...nxt oil change I go 10/30. Aside from Castrol, what others I should try juicing my car? I am reading all these engine caring threads for cars and got so many kinds of additives n stuff....

Go for Q8 semi-syn..just ten to twenty bucks more.Definitely worth it.

HOw to know if its authentic?

Most imitations are way too cheap. Mostly branded as Petronas, Shell & Caltex. Those are the brands common people know.

Boutique brands such as Q8, M7, Amsoil (not Amoil) and Rock Oil are only known to enthusiast. Usually they are more expensive (not always). The probability of these brands to have imitation are very low.

Hmm hmm..Got 7,000 km to go before my next oil change(though I change every 4.5k). Anywhere near DU that sells?

I think they are the main distributor of Q8 & Torco in Malaysia. Located in Sri Damansara. Guys can you chime in, are they the real deal? From my research it seems they are.

yeah cosmic elite is the distro of Q8/Torco/Lubegard for Malaysia

Can't see the price there though...izzit like RM125?

ive used 10w40 on kelisa..it is good since the oil is like cushioning the vibration from the engine..since kelisa 3 cylinder engine is vibrating a lot..the only drawback is the slower pick up..but not that much la..i changed that oil after 10K km if im not mistaken..

which oil?
btw as megat89 posted above on 3 cylinder engine extra nvh, perhaps consider motul h tech 100 plus xw30? (i omitt the value before w as it's irrelevant if you didn't get it)

very smooth and responsive as well, kinda in between liqui moly's MOS2 and torco's high revving performance, sorta best of both worlds, and pricing is in between too.

LM 10/40 and 5/30 and 10/30

LM go ask LYN sellers la

Those who uses LM and voltronic before
Anyone here can say which is better?

LM is better sir...

sarjantulang

because the one told me/recommend me say that LM just bought the formula and produce
while voltronic has a lab
and price surely voltronic more expensive

as far as i know sir, most top brand engine oil has their own lab...from the lab, they produce all the viscosity grade we seen today...

not like MLM product(except for amsoil) that only HAVE the product, but they never know where it came from(mostly in malaysia)...

price is subjective actually...

sarjantulang

because he told me..all their oil formula came from the same company
and he has the letter to prove it(the header)
and that they either reproduce it or develop it further
and he mention 1 thing that came into my mind
which is when u see the bottle
it will either say "made in germany" or "product from germany" which surprise me abit although i know alot
