The "Amerioil" brand of 20W-50 oil is quite lightweight
for its viscosity.

I bought one can from Univeral Auto in Pudu last time
and it improved performance in my "old junk" car.
Cost about $36 then, 4 liters.

However, they don't stock it anymore.

The agent is New Hoong Fatt, the importer of all those
Taiwan body parts. However, they are selling for about
$50 plus.

Universal Auto said they can sell much cheaper because
they order in bulk from New Hoong Fatt.


Other than than, Pennzoil's "MGMO' 20W-50 oil is also
not bad.

Most standard 20W-50 oils won't be above $40 currently.

In fact, Conoco ("76") 10W-40 mineral oil was being sold by James
of Universal Auto for $48 not too long ago. He no longer stocks it.


Enoch (from UAE), Bardahl, Elf, Pennzoil were all selling for $32 - 34
about a year or two ago.

Currently, this is what I use :

Enoch Protec - $40 (from Universal Auto, 26 Jln Sungei Besi, KL)

Bardahl - $38 (from AME Auto in 7 Jln 21/11A, Seapark, PJ).

since diesel oils are high detergent oils (that is why they use old diesel
oils for cleaning engines sometimes).
