those 2 u mentioned... any good?

no plans to use for long..mebbe 3k or max 5k

coz the oil is gonna go through dyno tuning

When I was at Tesco last Sunday, it's RM96.90 only.

Tesco oil is good ? better than pezzoil or eneos o or not "??

Don't know what you mean by good, but have used many bottles already in my turbo for years. now switch to Blue.Sky from UMW because even cheaper bought from their warehouse sale.
Cheaper FS oil are normally hydro crack mineral oil in Group 3

I used Tesco engine oil 20-50w that cost RM33.90. It is not bad.

Heard the Tesco SS 10w-40 now at that price, because 50% off. Klang Tesco no stock as reported by one AW member....

I went to Tesco Puchong, same as well.. Out of stock.

Is anyone hv tried JTX1000 engine oil?

Engine: 1.6L Campro IAFM - P. Persona.

Brand: Shell Helix HXZ
Oil Type: 10w-40 Semi Synthetic
Price: RM99 per 4L
My Thoughts: Just alright. Engine gets a little lazy as it nears 10k KM.
My rating: 3/5


Brand: Toyota
Oil Type: 10w-30 Semi synthetic
Price: RM91 per 4L
My thoughts: Superb. FC was better, far better acceleration and far better engine response. Engine feels much willing to move then before. Still feels good even when its nearing 10k KM.
My rating: 5/5


Brand: Pennzoil Platinum
Oil Type: 5w-30 Semi synthetic
Price: RM89.50 per 4L
My thoughts: To be advised - Just bought it.
My rating: To be advised

JTX is rebrand oil from caltex if im not mistaken.. design for diesel engine actually.
and then distribute by Hai-O (company that know nothing - make money from rebranding product..

can still make money.....

I hope this is the right thread to raise my inquiry here after I have search through F&F section.

Would like to ask SIFUsss here... What is the right procedure to check the engine oil level (by checking the dipstick)? Or should I say when is the right time to check that? Start or do not start the engine and check? Cause I have this scenario :-

i. If the engine is off, I can't see any oil level when I take out the dipstick.

ii. If the engine is running, when I pull out the dipstick, I can see the engine oil level is near to the lowest level.

P/S - I am using fully syn engine oil and currently only clocks 5,500km. By right it should able to sustain till 8,000km of mileage, at least.

engine off is the correct time. if started the oil already pumped to whole engine parts, you won't know how much oil is actually left.

if you can't see the oil then your engine oil is really2 low. better to top up some oil. your engine might be leaking oil.

Thanks for the feedback. I think my engine oil is real low. But I wonder where does the oil gone to? So far no oil leak symptom observed around the engine area. There is also no oil mark on the floor underneath the engine bay. That's why I am curious to find out. I told my mechanic, he said might be evaporate d. I was like

Best time to check is right before u start ur engine for the first time of the day...aka after the engine has been off for several hours...which is usually in the morning

A few days ago I changed engine oil at a workshop.
After pouring some, he turned on engine and checked dipstick oil level. The dipstick showed it was one-third full. Then he topped up again, checked dipstick again...until full.

but then, this morning i checked oil level before start engine, the level was 30% above FULL.

Had the foreman used the correct method ??
Any side effect if the oil is too much ??

I have a question;

I am currently using Shell branded engine oil, which has the so-called cleaning properties inside the oil to clean up the engine nicely... (Which I really like.)

But are there also other brand(s) of engine oils out there that also offers this cleaning/cleansing properties inside their oils (just like Shell)?

Please recommend if you know.

Thanks a lot in advance.
