What's wrong with the bolded part?

why i want to pour in an inferior oil? if the specs and price is already under lm, i really have no reason to go with it right? unless you're telling me to try something of a sidegrade/upgrade (such as giving my car torco/redline/chemlube/motul treatment)

In case my car still consumes engine oil when using LM 10w40 SS , shall I :

1. Go back to ENEOS 20W50; or
2. Use Ceratec to fix the void/gap.

Any comment?

neither.
because xw50 is just a matter of avoiding something that is there, it is not fixing the root cause of the issue. unless your engine default specifications requires you to use xw60 oil. if xw50, it is still fine to go xw40, just like what i am doing currently.

as far as i know, ceratec would not fill up gaps either, as the ceramic does not harden up completely to allow gaps to be sealed.

best is that you fix your car, be it top overhaul, or complete overhaul/engine rebuild. mainly gaskets/seals replacement.

when was the last time you've done that? and what is your current car mileage?

Better to just fix it rather than spending more money on engine oils

sweat...
I've done top overhaul, spent RM2k +
Still consume engine oil, but much less extent than before.

Before o/haul, I need to use up 6L (Initial pour-in 3L, then top up the remaining 1L, then buy new bottle and used 2L) of engine oil to keep it at FULL level, until reach next OCI.

After o/haul, to date already clocked 2600km mileage, engine oil level dropped from 100% to 80% mark. Hopefully the remaining engine oil in the bottle is enough to make it till next OCI.

If not, each 5,000km will cost me 1.5x4L engine oil. Never had peace of mind when going outstation.

Top overhaul only? I think around RM2k, the whole engine can be overhaul including piston ring as this is the main culprit engine oil makan besides valve seal..

Top overhaul 2k+?
What else did you do?

2k+ = full overhaul loh

oh really?
Yes, the mechanic did replace new rings and seals. Cost a few bombs there.
I see....so, I did a full overhaul.

after spent so much $$, still consume oil ! KNS

chemistry,

what engine oil u r using now?

bro, i did my complete engine rebuild for 2k weih. and now almost zero engine oil consumption. despite going redline in revving all day erry day. sad to say but i think your mechanic has done a bad job, and costing you a ton at that

ENEOS Mineral 20W50, use original toyota filter.
