mineral oil is more than enough for the kelisa..

i owned a kelisa for 7 years and i only used fully syn once...every other time i used mineral oils...watever brand the workshop has.. didnt really matter... car ran smooth and had no issues watsoever...

only thing is to make sure u change every 5k km...max oso 7k.

Ive been using semi and fully synt for my kelisa...lets say I just love my tiny rat....for a 1L...the speed is good to abuse...haha. But which brand you'd recommend...cuz if i were to match my petrol and the engine oil....some say it does not optimize it. I pump Shell 95 cuz it somehow gives good mileage...though its a pity i cant pump 97 like last time. Ive tried Mobil semi synth 10 40. Its ok, but review from others say mobil uses recycled. Then Im now using Petronas semi 10 40. Both were ok...but to really pamper my car, what's your opinion? Of cuz dun give me option that pampers until my pocket kena slaughter tq...=P

If you've tried mobil, I'd suggest u give liqui moly or at least pennzoil platinum a try. its worth it

Well, spending 800 on engine oil is kinda overdoing it la. I don't mind spending 150 on my engine though its a Kelisa, but with the few hundred extras, I could do some repairing work once a while or slowly collect for something else =)

Kenapa wo?

QUOTE(sarjantulang @ Dec 3 2013, 10:23 AM)
for kelisa sir, just opt for 10w30 or 5w30 or 5w20....

Hmmm...I get mixed feedback actually, some say use 10/40 cuz its better for your engine, but coming to the viscosity some say too thick for your engine. Some say 10/30 not good cuz it does not really take care of your car.

who says that??can i face to face with them??even Camry 2.4 use 5w30....wanna know about Subaru BRZ??0w20....nowadays even the big CC car use the 5w30, 10w30, 0w30, 0w20(hybrid mostly) and 5w20...

the point is, find the right engine oil...ORIGINAL, with higher VISCOSITY INDEX and FLASH POINT(find it on manufacturer website or brochure)....the higher those 2 value, the better the engine oil...

this is example of what i tell u:

user posted image

see those Viscosity Index and Flash Point??

(i'm using this oil on my Saga BLM...0w30...16000km baru tukar eo lain... thumbup.gif

Urs is fully synthetic ma...Kelisa if use full syn wont be good cuz too light viscosity. If not Castrol, use LM ok ka? Or as like below Q8. But LM and Q8 quite exp rite? cuz I bought my Castrol mtec 95 buxx. Also if ure saying about flashpoint n viscosity, 10/40 seems higher compared to 15/40 except when the SuS is 100 f

QUOTE(Cr4No @ Dec 3 2013, 01:12 PM)
Try Q8 out.abt same price as shell,mobil and etc..but better quality.

kelisa wont be good if using fully syn??who told u that??kinda funny actually...

unless your engine is already got a problem like LEAKING, piston ring is wore, oil seal is leaking, than it will happen..again, that is not the oil factor...is the engine itself has to be repair...

Thin oil ma...haha, thts y I wanna ask for feedbacks oso. Cuz many mechanic say no need fully syn. Semi is more thn good, some more 10/40 is what they say la. I take good care of my engine. Just did some repairs on the engine leakage a few months back. 700 gone wei... but worth it la. Now its all good and I actually changed my EO to the magnatec. Very smooth sound. But FC a little bit high cuz the guy told me its quite thick.

even your manual saya 10w30...why opt for 10w40??

like i say before, even a CAMRY 2.4 is using 5w30...not to mention Subaru BRZ and Toyota AE86(new one)...0w20...

me also take care of my saga blm....even DIY service(changing engine oil, oil filter, air filter, plug and others)...using 0w30, 10w30, 15w40, 10w40, 5w40, 5w30...sometimes, mineral, semi syn, synthetic blend and fully syn...

the synthetic oil is not create if it cant be use inside an engine...somemore, kelisa is only 850-1000cc only...using 10w40 will (not much, but some) degrade the FC...use 10w30 or 5w30 semi syn or synthetic blend if u really want semi syn...

Hmm hmm...ok la...nxt oil change I go 10/30. Aside from Castrol, what others I should try juicing my car? I am reading all these engine caring threads for cars and got so many kinds of additives n stuff....

Most imitations are way too cheap. Mostly branded as Petronas, Shell & Caltex. Those are the brands common people know.

Boutique brands such as Q8, M7, Amsoil (not Amoil) and Rock Oil are only known to enthusiast. Usually they are more expensive (not always). The probability of these brands to have imitation are very low.

Hmm hmm..Got 7,000 km to go before my next oil change(though I change every 4.5k). Anywhere near DU that sells?
