hey guys... i wanna ask...

now im looking at Q8 plus 15W40 since the price is a bit affordable...
but now the problem is i dont know where to find it in kajang/bangi area...
and i only encountered Sumo R4 5W30 for K-Cars and the price around RM110.

now my problem is my car is Kancil EX880 2001 and i prefer mineral oil than semi/fully synthetic....

so my question is...

1. is Q8 plus 15W40 really good for my engine and worth my trouble to go to sunway (which i could think the nearest place to buy the oil)

2. what about Sumo R4 5W40?

3. what other mineral oil that you guys could recommend for me? around RM100 and below but if really good wont mind going up a bit...

thanks in advance and sorry if this is the wrong thread....

if those motor oil are available in kajang/bangi.... i wont mind... so... Torco or liqui moly yea? i'll try to find it in kajang/bangi area 1st then.

thanks again....

i need to use a bit thicker oil since one of my piston is a bit loose

anyways decided to get a liqui moly.....

thnks guys...

dah try shell 20w50.... humang berat gila enjin.... tapi lama2 sedap plak bunyi engin... hahahaha

tak pelah... dah decide nak amik liqui moly pon.... nak test camne besh ke tak...

actually i seldom flush my engine... just a habit not to and loads of pomen said to me its not really good for engine.... did try once and when already flushed and they put new oil... at the 1st start my engine scream like no body business.....

oh btw i just change my newly Liqui Moly semi synthetic oil.... tonight would be its 1st test....

balik kampung from bangi to kedah.... see how it handles.... hahahaha

thanks bro....

for this couple of days been using MOS2 leichtlauf 4100 10W30 (Semi Synthetic) 4L and it had its toughest test.... driving from kl to penang. on the way back i was so shock because the engine feels more responsive than total 20w 30 ive been using before. not to mention the vibration of my engine have heavily reduced... its like driving a new kancil lol! tried at PLUS highway and pushing the limits of my 11 years old kancil and it handles like a champ!
from penang to kl also the same thing.... i push the limit of my car and the engine oil to the test it feels more responsive than before....!!! i just could not believe it an engine oil alone can achieved this!
i will with out a doubt use this engine oil again and been recommending it to my father and couple of my friends....

so in short:

MOS2 leichtlauf 4100 10W30 (Semi Synthetic) 4L

pros:
- engine vibration were heavily reduced to very minimal vibration... feels like driving new car...
- acceleration feels more responsive
- engine feels lighter and have a lot of power

cons:
none that i can think of accept its easily dried but this is expected since one of my piston is a bit loose and the mechanic did advice me to use a thicker engine oil to reduced the engine oil loss but im more than a satisfied customer!

Did top overhaul last december. Like i said one of my piston is a bit loose and for a while the machanic advise me to use a thicker motor oil. Last time my budget didnt permit me to do total overhaul. Now saving to repair it.

heheh thanks for the recommendation but i settled with Liqui Moly 10W30+Ceretac. engine feels much2 better than last time.

curi from my friend a bit....

sort of la... my engine now feel smoother... very the quiet one....

my friend engine (he's using gen2 1.6 campro) also feel smoother and can go 170km/h++ without any vibration (thou he really needs to change a new front tayar)

talk about wind noise.... that gen2 also got that... 130km/h and start to hear wind noises....

hehehe yeah... driving kancil at top speed 130km/h++ at highway is not recommended.... feels like want to terbalik any given time lol!

i want to try 10w40 after this. 10w30 is really best while u accelerating but my engine drinks the oil like nobody business... if i can get the 10w40 to at least slow down the oil drainage then i'll try ceratec full bottle....

hopefully when i already have some money to do full overhaul (thinking of upgrading my kancil engine lol...) and the oil drainage problem is solved i'll be switching back to 10w30.... but in the mean time i have to settle for 10w40 and maybe another round i'll use ceretac full bottle....

seriously bro u should try..... i can hit 170km/h++ and i know i can go more with my friend gen2 but chickened out since i feel a bit wobbly on the steering wheel... (the front tyres are kindda bald and i was speeding when its raining lol).

chasis foaming yeah? i'll poison my friend to try that one after this....

just got my 2nd LM... but this time 10w40.... 10w30 is really nice.... balik kampung to penang 5000rpm all the way lol.... (me using kancil 880) and still can go further but scared lol... but due to a problem with my engine i decided to use a thicker oil and i still considered LM as my best bet....

lets see how it goes..... btw... now days i just love driving my old car even more lol!

i did try 10w50 before.... no problem on FC but car feels heavy lah....
of course i want fix it but financial is what holding me right now... for now this is a temporary solution and should be more than sufficient....

u should try... i myself using Liqui Moly... and boy was i surprise for the 1st time when i use it.... car feels lighter, reduce noise sufficiently.... can go faster.... now i love driving my kancil than before...

Just change my engine oil to torco sr-5 10w30 semi syn. Sound a bit rough when idle. But when its running and high revving it feels really good. Smooth and engine feels so light.

Tr5. Sorry for the mistake lol. Since changing to JB DET engine i really need to high rev since the engine it self is a high revver. (redline is 8.5k rpm). So driving with 3k-4k rpm seems not logical for me lol.
I bought it at sunway. Sorry dont know where to find in sarawak
