good insights from the video bro.

well, my car aint exactly a precision engine, more like RAW mechanical horsepower, and that gets dirty easily
hell, notice between old and new cars, old cars' engine bays tend to get dirtier/blacker compared to cars today

probably to emission controls and lacking precision in combustion and what not.
however yeah, ever since ceratec, i also skip out on flushing as i dont wanna flush my ceramic coat

Added on January 20, 2012, 11:59 pmdepends on what flush bro, so far millers oil/lambda primer positive feedback with them, however for one time i left my lambda primer overnight to you know, "clean more" before the OCI. next morning the engine is like half dead lol, lucky the workshop isnt too far, drive over and perform the OCI as scheduled

anyways good luck with your LM evaluation
and drive safe

thanks bro....

Good video . After watch it i feel like i been neglected GB maintenance, but i got question, for normal daily ride + occasional redline do we need to change GB oil every time engine oil change? Or maybe it just sufficient or ok to change the gb oil after 20k km?

Thanks

I changed my GB oil every year once~~

20k km is ok i guess...not too sure... i change mine every 10k... which to me.. is every oil change coz i use fully syn oils til 10kkm oso...



thats why la only 125whp :

Cilakak you, clutch problem lah, not GB oil
No money, Castrol only

hi.. anyone tried SUMO R3 POWER PERFORMANCE RACING OIL SEMI SYN 10w40? issit good?

have been thinking of it for my next service.. got 3 choice for me now.. either MOS2 leichtlauf 10w30 - Semi Synthetic or Eneos Molybdenum (Semi Synthetic) SM/CF 10W40 and the sumo oil above.. which one is the best?
i don't mind the price, because all the price are near to rm90~130..

one more question.. MOS2 leichtlauf 10w30 - Semi Synthetic and MOS2 leichtlauf 10w40 - Semi Synthetic.. got any difference?
in performance?

help pls. thank you.

technically 30 oils are thinner and mostly used by K cars in general
About performance, you have to feel it by youself

Yep. I forgot to write that my car is Proton Savvy which is a K car. So, the ideal of my car's engine oil will be 10w30 stated on the manual spec.
From what I read from this thread, the difference of 30 oils and 40 oils are 30 oils more to response performance and 40 oils more to protection than response.
Anyway, there's a sumo oil k-car performance semi syn 5w30. but since it's 5w, with Malaysian weather shouldn't be good right? Correct me if i'm wrong.

I need help regarding this..

Just late last year(Dec), got to know this engine oil brand, Gulf from my colleague. Bought one each to test.

Currently testing it in my father's wira and my wife's kenari.

Wira 1.5 auto
Brand: Gulf Max Supreme
Model: 10w 40 (Semi Syn)
Price : RM 100
Feedback: quite an improvement compared to previous oils(mix...abit this, abt that)

Kenari 1.0 auto
Brand: Gulf Max Supreme
Model: 10w 30 (mineral)
Price: rm65
Feedback: generally smoother.

Will prolly stick to this brand.

cheers.

use to use the ceratec.. end up no longer do flush as well as lambda primer.. reason because I jump ship to Q-Max 5W40 already. Car needs 5L. Need 2 tangki baru cukup

stick to 30 rated oil lah... if ur driving savvy, the engine is a bit more sensitive right ? besides, the thicker oil would just contribute to slightly higher fc rite ?

The front number is for cold start only, doesn't affect in our weather, I have used before 0w-40 FUCH FS oil for my Wira before, nothing wrong

Megaboyz,

The viscosity rating doesn't have a direct indication of how well it protects. But ofcourse you should use one suitable for your car. You don't want an oil that is gone the next day or is too heavy for your car, that's all. Again, it does not give an indication of how well it protects.

Fully syns protect much better than semi/min.

for this couple of days been using MOS2 leichtlauf 4100 10W30 (Semi Synthetic) 4L and it had its toughest test.... driving from kl to penang. on the way back i was so shock because the engine feels more responsive than total 20w 30 ive been using before. not to mention the vibration of my engine have heavily reduced... its like driving a new kancil lol! tried at PLUS highway and pushing the limits of my 11 years old kancil and it handles like a champ!
from penang to kl also the same thing.... i push the limit of my car and the engine oil to the test it feels more responsive than before....!!! i just could not believe it an engine oil alone can achieved this!
i will with out a doubt use this engine oil again and been recommending it to my father and couple of my friends....

so in short:

MOS2 leichtlauf 4100 10W30 (Semi Synthetic) 4L

pros:
- engine vibration were heavily reduced to very minimal vibration... feels like driving new car...
- acceleration feels more responsive
- engine feels lighter and have a lot of power

cons:
none that i can think of accept its easily dried but this is expected since one of my piston is a bit loose and the mechanic did advice me to use a thicker engine oil to reduced the engine oil loss but im more than a satisfied customer!

glad you enjoy it.

as for the engine oil consumption, kancil is MEANT to use xw30 (unless the manual says otherwise, in that case please correct me if im wrong) so if you're using xw30 and you're having consumption problems, you may want to do some overhauling and replace some seals/gasket

used to face that before however after the complete engine rebuild, good bye to such problems already despite using lm xw40 which my car specifications require xw50

Did top overhaul last december. Like i said one of my piston is a bit loose and for a while the machanic advise me to use a thicker motor oil. Last time my budget didnt permit me to do total overhaul. Now saving to repair it.

fully syn protects better ke ? i thought fully syn are usually a lot thinner /lighter compared to semi syn right ?

Light or thick (how viscous is it) is not an indication of how well it protects. Surely fully syns protects better, otherwise ppl would not spend so much money on it.

Synthetic is used because of the oil property is much stable than mineral. That's why they have a higher oil change interval.
