If there is nothing abnormal detected, I shall consider using Q8 engine oil and observe it again.

SS have in 5w and 10w, and only FS comes in 0w.

Try Tesco, theirs are from the EU, should be at RM199 for 4L. Sales times as low as RM149, sometimes RM169.

To me unless it is high performance engine then use FS, if not, I don't think much difference, since viscosity is very close.....

Another pondering question i have:
I have free service for my car and they use the Castrol A5 oil which i have never heard of before this.
Should i use my own oil instead?
