hi people, I'm going got my Toyota Vios 50k service next week and plan to change from semi to fully synthetic oil. Any idea how much will the service cost? The fully synthetic oil alone costs around RM198  doh.gif

Another question, is not too late to change from SM to FS right? I read some where saying that there will be leak or something in older car...... Mine is 2009 anyway. Thanks smile.gif

Only 50k km, so your engine should still be in tip top condition, so using FS oil is not a problem.....

Thanks for the reply smile.gif Hopefully will get better FC as well ~
2 more service with UMW and I'm off the chopping board  rolleyes.gif

If trying to get better FC from lubricate, you may need to use lighter viscosity oil......

Just for info, Tesco have engine oil sales on, but different stores sells differently, means one store sells Shell cheaper, some Castrol and so on.
Castrol Edge 0w-40 - RM159
Mobil 5w-50 - RM149
Tesco FS 5w-40 - RM89
Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40 - 149, some selling at RM99.90

you get what you pay for.

and really, its all about personal preference here. some prefer to get expensive oil, more mileage then OCI, or get cheaper oil, and more frequent OCI.
*
That is their thinking, but actually whether expensive or cheap same OCI, unless stated extended use, or long chain interval. These are usually sold in the states.
If engine uses more oil like those using 5L or 6L, can also prolong the use.....

That is why oil companies never override the Car manufacturers recommended OCI..... tongue.gif

OCI is all individual case. Car manufacturer also some recommend 5k, some 10k. Change according to your own use and needs.....
My NA is 5k or 6 months on SS
My turbo is now 3k or 3 months on FS

why 6months? Because... oil is hydroscopic. Absorbs moisture once exposed to extreme heat(correct me if I am wrong).
Many also get the impression :
Hi Elton,
Not to correct you but share info. As far as I know brake fluid is hydroscopic, but not engine oil. When you run the engine but do not bring it up to working temperature, like short distance town uses, then the water vapor is not vaporizes, so it condenses and form water that mixes in on a long run.
That is why using the engine in short runs, it is better to have OCI more often, not longer...... tongue.gif

leftovers, forgot last time i asked on this sub-forum? everyone including you said ok wat. it really is ok, cept shit performance lol

Could be due to your Hi-Rev oil. The ones I mixed in, no difference. Difference oil brand and viscosity also......mine due to topping up, as my engine does consume some oil as every day also 5k rpm..... blush.gif

Top up only, also so much effect? I thought you mix in the sense, mix 2 types to use..... biggrin.gif
If use chemical flush probably whatever you have inside will be flushed out.
You can also do a light viscosity oil flush, means change the oil to a light 20 or 30 weight oil run for a while then drain, before putting in new oil.....

Just came back from SS19 Toyota service center for 50k service smile.gif
Cost my RM209 with semi synthetic oil. Car feels much lighter and responsive especially accelerate at low RPM.
I think the huge difference also indicates that the semi synthetic oil degrades to an extent that you can feel it towards the end of 10k period.
*
That includes filter and workmanship, right? Then it is about that price.....
Chery SUV even on SS oil is 5k km OCI.....

sifu sifu, wanna ask opinion about engine oil. Im driving Ford Ranger hurricane 4x4

Anyone use this Petro Canada Duron XL Melange Synthetique SAE 15w-40 before?
Compare with Shell Rimula R3 X 15W-40, which one better?

Is there any recommend engine oil beside this two?
*
Maybe equivalent, Caltex Delo 400, Petronas Urania and Mobil Delvac all 15w-40 also

Mobil have FS Mobil Delvac 1 5w-40 also but expensive.... rclxub.gif

Ohh, I'll give it a try on this Shell Rimula R3 X 15W-40
Dad want me to change to Shell Rimula R3 X 15W-40, he said mechanic duno use what oil chapalang...
Currently using Petro Canada Duron XL Melange Synthetique SAE 15w-40... mechanic's geh oil. Use 1 month very thick jor (drove 5km in 1 month).

Every month also need to change engine... Really canot tahan jor. Each time service at least RM 250..
Any recommend engine oil that can last 10km?
*
What is the recommended OCI. If 5k km then better stick to it.
I don't recommend longer intervals with FS, but not much savings since the oil is more expensive.
I think better change at 5k km for cleaner engine....

thanks for the tip bro!

maybe can buy some really dang cheap super light viscosity oil (would mineral or full syn (not ss basically) instead of ss be ok? lol)
*
FS will be expensive. Normally they use mineral mono grade light viscosity to flush.....
