rm70 per liter of mineral?

lets just say, even among the best full synthetic oil also prolly wont cost as much as rm280 for 4 liters >.>
maybe the select rare few, or those racing/non street applications yeah...

hell, its already more than double of what i pay for good semi synthetic :/

you better double check. 15w 40 shell hx5 was only rm7x 4L at shell station. kancil also use near 3L oil.

I will need to check.

If all the time it was for 4-liters; then it is perfectly alright.

I hope I have mistaken...

Thanks for the info.

For extreme cold and hot environment, FS would be superior to Mineral. But many Malaysian think we are driving in the desert so must have FS. Guess they never read the thermometer.

Agree

wah what engine is that, my 4 clyinders engine need almost 4 litres of oil

I suspect European cars have bigger oil pan capacity than Japanese so have longer OCI.

I know some Volvo SUV has something like 1 year OCI.

4 cylinders engine normally take 3-4 litres, I have never seen before any 4 cylinder engine that only need 1 litre.

Motorcycle?

hi guys ,
im driving SAGA FLX, proton recommends 10W-30, im currently using Shell HX 7 10W-40

Thinking of going for Castrol Edge 5W-40 next service, any comments ? should i go for 5W-40 or 10W-30 ?

It's packaged for the consumer convenience of topping up lub oil

if your manufacturer says xw30, i am more than willing to go for it, or even splurge for xw20

Do you understand car more than car manufacturer? If no, I would just stick to what car manufacturer says.

And if you really wanted a better oil, try 5W30 or even 0W30. But they are going to be more expensive because these will be Fully Synthetic. And don't be fooled by mechanic saying these FS that cost twice as much can last twice as long because there are no such thing.

One reason Proton list 10w30 instead is because those are cheaper Mineral oil but will do the job just fine.

interesting, because not long ago, my first gen campro, proton only recommends 20W-50 oils, anything lower than that, sure tepets sound come out,
i know cps campro need 10w-30 but i'm not suprise becos they have variable valve sytem, but saga flx dont have variable valve,

could it be the prove that proton have improve the campro engine component, because apart from IAFM & coil on plug, the rest of the campro component should be similar

personally i think Petro Canada 5W/30 being reasonably price for less than RM 100/4 liter.

Yes, it is certainly conclusive that my engine takes in 4-liters of oil alright..., and that is really a lot, and heavy! (I know how heavy 4-liters of engine-oil is; I didn't know there's really so much oil inside the engine indeed...)

As such, I might think of grabbing some cheap 10W - 30 mineral based engine-oil; for revving/taking a spin, & then topping-up. (It's good to clean-up the engine & then change the oil more frequently before the addictives breaks down.)

High-Detergent mineral engine-oil will certainly be very ideal.

(This is good for old car; if for very new car; then can just opt for fully-synthetic and then change the oil much less frequently IMO.)

saga blm also recommended 20w 50. im using 10w 40 magnatec now, previous is 15w 40. SC use 15w 50 petronas semi.

High Detergent mineral oil are mostly have high TBN number....something like 8-9-10....for normal passanger car oil, dont think they have it....

if you want, get the Delvac 1300/Delvac MX, Duron E, Pennzoil Longlife, Valvoline Premium Blue....this certainly have high TBN and very2 high additive like ZDDP....
