I heard lots of ppl is using lm semin synthetic... How much does it cost? and how about the oil treatment..

My car is facing overheating problem most of the time, so does the oil affecting it?

rm110-118 IINM and the oil is more for protection/quiet engine than performance. if you want performance id recommend torco instead.

as for overheat problem, lm oil may or may not solve it though it DOES reduce engine friction guaranteed (lower noise/vibration is a very clear sign of lowered friction)

if it persists, id recommend to do a FULL coolant/radiator flushing (flush from engine block and not just radiator)
then do a 50:50 ratio water + forged racing coolant.

if you still face overheating issues, and/or coolant leaks, do check where is the leak, or check if the radiator fan is working properly, or check the water pump if its working properly.

all the above parts are wear and tear products and they do get worn out/malfunction in due time.

If compare LM with Chemlube semi synthetic oil? how is your opinion about it

oh yea, what is forged racing coolant? any recommendation on it or example or brand.. thanks

never used chemlube, so cannot comment.
it is amongst the higher range of SS oils though (like lm/torco/motul/redline/amsoil etc)

as for forged racing coolant, refer here:

for day to day drive normal cars, blue should be more than enough. and please dont go over 50:50 ratio
as in coolant more than water, the other way around is definitely fine, though if too much water vs coolant ratio, obviously effectiveness is less

because based on my personal experience, this coolant is quite corrosive (build ups will occur, and the bottle it self, i had drips of coolant on it and i didnt bother to wipe and left it to dry itself, and after drying, the bottle surface is deformed a little lol, the color/paint/surface, not really the bottle itself)

I heard that Torco is good for performance. But then, is it only applicable to FS oil? how about SS oil?

Good quality SS oil is much better than so so brand FS oil. Anyone agree with this statement?

Torco SS is good as well, i'm a user of both torco and lm, and i dont think i am switching away any time soon

and yes, highly agree.
what you pay is what you get, especially in the very competitive higher end market.

I've used lm too. Not torco yet, planned to get it on next service. When I was using LM, my engine is quiet but somehow I felt that it's not that responsive for my car (might be smthg wrong with my engine? I doubt). Currently I'm trying Lexus FS oil, i cannot give any comment yet as I just reflashed my ECU last week. It's very responsive so I don't know it's the oil effect or Killerom effect. Lol

How long is the cycle of LM ss oil?

Normal oil only 5000km.

it can last up to 7k but better do not exceed. change at 6k plus the best.. if got budget then change it when it's approaching 6k

my iswara is damn responsive, however if wanna compare to my sentra that uses torco, cannot fight at all

and thats why i've said if you want performance, look at something else like torco. however for engine quietness/performance etc, can't go wrong with LM.

how about combination of Lambda oil primer + Torco 10W-40 + LM Ceratec?

i have a combination of lambda primer done, lm xw40, and ceratec for my iswara.

for the sentra only millers engine oil flush + torco xw30

Evans waterless engine coolant.

When want to carry me in your killer-rom ride?

Wow~ THe Evans waterless engine coolant is like so awesome... Are you using it? any comment on its performance?

looks like shell helix is not that good. since theres no one recommend this oil.

You put all these inside your Iswara at one time?
Can I test them one by one?

they are mainstream oil. its not that they are not good. its just that theres better oil, and oils like shell are good for what its worth.

Added on February 12, 2012, 7:05 pmhow to test 1 by 1? both ceratec and lm xw40 are already in my car. and primer is before i oil change (and after oil change put new lm xw40 and ceratec) lol

No. Too expensive. Almost 4k just to fill up the whole car. Wait a bit longer. A similar product may come out at 1/10 of the price

1st oil change, flush the engine using Lambda Primer, then pour in ENEOS 20w50.
2nd oil change, use Lambda Primer + LM 10w40 ss
3rd oil change, use Lambda Primer + LM 10w40 ss + ceratec.

To complete the whole test cycle, don't know take how long

NOPE lol.

and ive drove the car a while before ceratec being poured in. so 3rd test is not needed.

reviews are already provided.
