I'm afraid I could not give a firm answer.
But I think in M'sia all ENEOS products are brought in by Mayshowa.
Anyone pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Please don't mind if I ask stupid question.
Can a 26 year-old corolla LE travel at 130kph (3800-4000 rpm) for 1hour non-stop? Will it harm engine?

Stock engine, using Liqui Moly MoS2 10w40.

I noticed that everytime go back home , oil level surely go down. City drive OK , no drop at all.
Now that the balance oil has been used up till last drop, I topped up with Mobil Super 2000 10w40.

Use 15-50 or20-50 cos ur engine is too old rdy not will sattle the prob

If I keep maximum rpm below 3500 rpm, oil level can remain. This is from my observation.
Just that recently I pressed more gas on ELITE HIGHWAY, went up to 130-140 kph, oil level drop significantly.

should be no problem

however if your engine isn't really dirty/bad performance, you can opt to use engine flush every 2 services.
injection cleaner also same if you're on 10k km service, as it takes maybe 15-25k km for your TB/injection system to get dirty

can save more money that way smile.gif
*
the money saved from the lengthened OCI can be re-invested by adding Ceratec every 5 services. rclxms.gif

I am suspecting imitation Liqui Moly MOS2 10W-40 engine oil. I've used twice of Liqui-Moly, the first experience was great being smooth, bought from this forum. I've got the second bottle slightly below market price from JB, physical look is the same but my engine had terrible tappet noise. Even Syntium 800 is much better than it.

Any news of fake Liqui Moly already?
*
First time i bought my LM MoS2 was also from jb, no problem pun.
then second time i bought was from a dealer in MID valley, haven't used yet.

however gaskets/seals/mounting WILL wear out very fast.
i need to replace my rocker cover gasket and entire timing belt/oil seals etc as it's starting to leak a little laugh.gif

gosh, i did not think of this at all.
I rev 4k only once a week , about 30-40 mins only, will it cause premature seal/gasket defect?
