40k mileage still ok to use 5w-30, you can slowly switch to 10w-40 after ur mileage passed 100k or 80k

You will definitely feel the car heavier or loss of power to change from 5W-30 - 10W40

act its my dads car..
the warranty just ended so decided to use diff oil instead of petronas syntium which is used by the SC.
the problem is my dad so afraid of imitate oil at the market..
he found out 1 workshop has this lexus oil which he claim buy straight away from spore.
so now the price is not a big prob as long as it is original.  smile.gif

so bro, how much the cheapest price u get for the lexus oil?  brows.gif
*
Much cheaper. RM90. Trusted sparepart shop should be fine. So far I like it. 1st time using. Currently.
Just about 1 week.

Buy from workshop usually more costly. Buy from sparepart shop cheaper. Compare prices.

Next time ask your dad buy from me. I charge RM120. Is imported from Japan. laugh.gif

Nvm la, if your dad willing to pay RM145 and since workshop said direct from Singapore, I think RM120 he willing to pay geh haha! Instead let workshop untung, I untung lo brows.gif

Yes, is the same. Workshop price on most things usually more expensive. I think they incurred the delivery charges from Sparepart shops as well. Example. My Kelisa Air filter only cost RM10 at sparepart shop. If buy from workshop. Is RM18.

So, I started to look for better options and since I have a few friends doing the same and they told me is cheaper.

Ya some afraid got fake EOs, such as Shell EO especially. Those usually I think I rather buy from Shell Stations since too many case of Shell EOs proven there are lots of fake.

But this Sparepart shop quite reputable and price is cheap. So is quite well known. I'm not worried.

I switch from 5w-30 to 5w-40 of M7 pro oil because the old 5w-30 M7 eco oil has stopped production. Yet I dint feel heavier or loss power. However, I felt more responsive and more fuel save.
*
Maybe because yours is M7 laugh.gif
At 1st started to feel heavy on low end. High end was quite alright.
But after a week, now is smooth. Guess it needed time. But from FS to SS can feel the difference.

Do we change to a thicker engine oil like 15w50 after the mileage passed 100k mark to 200k? Follow by 10w60 and even thicker oil when mileage increases?
*
Seriously you don't change oil vicosity after certain mileage maybe only certain older cars where is not so suitable for thinner oil. But then a friend of mine own a galant vr4, still using 5W30 or so haha! Not necessary if no problems with your car using that EO. Correct me if im wrong.

QUOTE(fucziAvA @ Dec 10 2013, 01:15 PM)
Same as me for my kenari. I went to spareparts shop 1st then only go to workshop and just pay the labour cost since for me cost is really matter. hehe

Yes so true. If afraid of imitated oil, just buy them at petrol stations. Guaranteed it is ori one but less choices.
*
Yup, but petrol stations you will be paying the high price for sure. Or can purchase from Tesco hypermarkets.
But then still Sparepart shops are cheaper.

Bought my Lexus 5W40, oil filter at RM8 and labour only RM15-20. Save a lot.

yeap basically complete overhaul.

kelisa i think should  be within 1.5-2.5k? not very familiar though since i don't own one sweat.gif
*
2.5K close to getting a EJ-VE engine if not mistaken. Not sure how much to overhaul though. Can say is quite a strong engine to last.

red lining like crazy whenever the chance is there.
done track days including sepang - done over 30-40 laps for 2 hours time within sepang (overheating the entire time LOL!)

some videos that i've manage to do when i'm not sitting on my lazy ass: http://www.youtube.com/user/Quazacolt/videos

take note stock spec/paper sheet on a stock engine 4g15p 3AT is 163km/h and my engine is still on stock form dyno'd  at ~60 on wheel hp
that is about 6.2-6.7k rpm iinm
