ill just recommend the usual torco/liqui moly LOL

ok.

as salam,


Petro Canada Duron XL 15w-40 in my BLM....so far so good....already 6000km++....will continue until clocking 15000km...but will replace the Oil Filter at 10k km....


my gearbox oil(manual)...change it while my MA at 84000km.....use the Traxon synthetic blend 75w-90...recommended change at 420000km.....but i will make it at 200000km......recommended by Petro Canada and tested and proven by General Motors US...

best if you dont exceed 10k OCI, even most full syn dont go over 10k unless both car specification (some high end/luxury cars for example) and oil specification permits/encourages it.

since when you replace oil filter oil will leak out anyways, might as well just change the engine oil complete

thanks...

but this Duron XL has been proven OCI up to 20000km....me got the 1 litre bottle for top up when change the OF....


coz one of my friend use the Duron E(mineral group II+), OCI at 20000km....already 3 times do it...every 20000km OCI...



maybe it is coz of the Pure Base Oil by PC....99.9% crystal clear base oil...odorless and colorless...superb performance...

sarjantulang

does your car recommend/encourage 20k km OCI? if not, please don't do it. even if the oil property can withstand, carbon/sludge build up will still occur regardless. and our oil filter generally cant last that long of an OCI and will get clogged, resulting in less filtration which also means a dirtier engine and that will be very detrimental to your engine in the long run.

@sarjantulang
Petro Canada Duron XL 15w-40??
Is it Hdeo?
TQ.

that's why i will change the OF at 7000km or 10000km....our local OF cant last longer...the design, material cant stand deposit, soot, clogging too much...

OF cant last longer, but a very2 good engine oil with good base oil and additive will....

but not too say it will stay like up to 100000km or something like some claim by "mlm" product....hehehe

Added on February 22, 2012, 4:13 pmso if the oil is not cleaning the engine and producing so much soot that the OF cannot handle, why not change the oil TOGETHER with the filter? If it's a group II oil i wouldn't even go past 6,000km. All, or most oils are hydroscopic btw... which is why manufacturers ask to change at 5-10k, or 3-6months, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST

here are my reviews for some engine oil I have tried:

Eneos FS 5w40: overall it is better than shell and petronas~ engine feels lighter when accelerate but top speed took longer time
LM MOS2 SS 10w40: better than Eneos in terms of acceleration and engine is quieter too, value for money
Motul Turbolight 10w40: a bit heavy when accelerating from stand still, but it gets better at higher RPM, can reach 180km/j quicker than LM but pricey

so, I'm reverting to LM after this, will be buying few bottles for stock~

as salam,

that's depend on what type of engine oil you're using....if group I and Group II please change it on time....coz of the additif package cant last longer....also the VI will reduce significantly let say from 128 to 90(example)...

but if one can get Group II+, III,IV then the OCI will be longer than normal......like the AMSOIL....proven up to 15000 miles(miles not KM)


and again...it also depend how much confident customer with the engine oil....even if the manufacturer claim can last up to 20000km(with OF change every 5k km), but the customer is not confident, no one cant argue...

10 basic ADDITIVE package that have to be put in all engine oil are:

1. Detergent
2. Dispersant
3. Oxidation Inhibitors
4. Corrosion Inhibitors
5. Rust Inhibitor
6. Anti-Wear agents - most likely to be put
7.Foam Depressants
8. Viscosity Index (VI) Improvers
9. Pour Point Depressants
10. Friction Modifiers

the FORMULA is secret and what are the additive are also secret...only the manufatrurer know...

but for Anti Wear, most likely are ZINC and Phophorus aka ZDDP


again, depends on what brand of EO you're using...

just my 34.5sen....kindly correct me if i'm wrong...as i also new to this info

sarjantulang

/\ how do u determine whether ur engine oil still can be use beyond manufacturer OCI recomndation?

Before you use your oil this long again, I suggest you send your oil for UOA

as salam,


that'w why some of the very2 good and quality engine oil has state in the packaging "EXTENDED OIL DRAIN"/ EXTENDED DRAIN OIL"....

even they have the testimonial....

if one want to sure about it, after certain thou KM, take some sample of your EO, then go for LAB TEST to get a result of acid,oxidation, zddp, VI value, alkali and so on.....

sarjantulang

UOA - used oil analysis

agree with the LM part..better acceleration and quiet engine..

any Torco user for Neo CPS here?..heard that Torco=better performance while LM=better protection..

sorry i dont know the short....what i mean the lab test is that...

sarjantulang

Guys, any recommendation for my 2 years old civic FD? All this while been using the engine oil provided by Honda. Now, not going to send to honda SC anymore..

as salam,

Liqui Moly, Eneos, Motul, Torco, Petro-Canada Duron, Mobil, Amsoil etc

sarjantulang

which brand you sell?
