Dear Sifu,

any engine oil recommend for suzuki swift (2nd gen) mileage approx 26000
, suggestion to increase fuel consumption if possible.
currently FC 9.5/L , 90% road 10% highway, 50% jam 50% smooth

Well it is up to you to figure if the increased corrosion is worth the better drive. To me at least, baulk rings were cheaper than gear sets so going for GL-6 type spec was a no brainer. But mind you I supervise a team of experienced diesel fitters, mechanics and automotive machinists, so labour is on the cheap side if you buy them a slab of piss

I generally don't want to experiment too much these days and thus go for a "fit for purpose" oil and then assess it from there, but don't let that stop you from experimenting though.

Generally if you engage the clutch while moving, your input shaft will receive no power, thus you can generally figure out if it is an input or output issue. If the input shaft is the issue the first things I'd look at are;

1) Main bearing
2) Thrust bearing
3) Tolerances
4) Wear
5) Lubrication

You can get to most of these when you replace the clutch. The lubrication for spline the input shaft is usually moly grease that is applied during tranny assembly where the clutch meets the spline. Also a bad alignment of the clutch can cause such issues as well.

Came across this engine oil brand when I sent my car for servicing.

Brand: Penrite
Oil type: EVERYDAY PLUS 10W-40 (Semi Syn.)
Price: RM135 - 5 little

So far I found the review of this Brand is good and even have a comparison with other manufacturer's product (vs Royal Purple).

So far engine idling sound is quieter and feel smoother while accelerating (previously using MOTUL) , will need to past 1k mileage first to comment further.

please post thorough UOA (used oil analysis) or data/spec/technical sheets for your EO especially when they may be misleading being compared against motul/royal purple. those are big claims without any basis btw:

Hi Quazacolt,

do you mean if a particular EO brand is not listed under UOA , it could be fake oil? Or perhaps UOA only show EO that is available in US since Penrite is from Aus?  I can't find Liqui Moly either from the UOA website link.

Thanks for the reply

didn't mention anything about fake, just that making such claims against established brands that's certified by API (do understand what is UOA and API, i even mentioned the full wordings of UOA ) is of bad taste.

Also liqui moly was listed on API prior to 2010/2011 iinm, later on they just don't bother paying the fee to API to get new certifications, in which i have moved on from LM semi synthetics and on to other brands' full synthetics

put it this way: API is a certification body that can prove that the engine oil meets certain standards compared to what engine oil makers/sellers claim.
i'd be thrilled if the german/euro http://www.acea.be/ ACEA can publish their certification listing/standards publicly (do correct me if i'm wrong, and provide me links of their listing if possible) so i can actually look into the likes of liqui moly once again

I am using LM semi syn on my other car at the moment but since you mentioned they didn't acquire new certification from API, would it still be safe to use? The reason I am still using LM rather than other EO (Mobil1, ENEOS, Petronas, Motul) is because I felt my engine rev smoother and engine still feel lively even after clocking 5k mileage. One thing bother me is why there is no authorized LM dealer in malaysia since the product have quite a number of positive feedback from car user. 

tesco oil? davidke20

started using Torco SR1 for my JB DET engine a couple of months ago...

dang... this thing makes my RPM dancing like its on LSD! lighter RPMs where i can bust my engine till 8kRPM like nothing....

then came that day where i blew my head gasket... after fixing i went back to SR5 and the feeling is not the same... for now i need to monitor my EO and if everything is ok again i will sure to fill my engine with SR1.
again....

hehe no chance try SR1 on the 4B10 yet, since i already can't wait to try Motul's 300v 0w20

btw you meant TR5? SR5 is their racing oil

too bad i can't go over rev like i do on the iswara since there's fuel cut

i saw ur mod list. what the remap had done? cannot eliminate fuel cut?

Technically no because no more mapping tables. Instead of fuel cut,  it's more like the engine dunno what to do past the rpm your mapping tables defined

i see..so what are the benefits for the remap. got performance improvement? n where had u done the remap?

got 1k more rpm of mapping tables lo, until 7k rpm.

can visit LYN inspira thread lo, only 1 guy doing remapping.
