Using semi synthetic 10W30 Toyota genuine engine oil for my G spec 09' and warranty going to end soon ~ any recommended engine oil which can further improve the FC and engine performance?

Try eneos proracing 5w40 or torco sr1. Really nice.
Eneos have new free gift, torch light 4 in 1. Very2 limited. Only during this raya period.

Budget around RM150 ~ Want to try out full synthetic engine oil to see whether the performance gained justify the price difference or not smile.gif
Still got 8000km to go before next service ~ will probably try out gagak's ENEOS proracing ~

hi people, I'm going got my Toyota Vios 50k service next week and plan to change from semi to fully synthetic oil. Any idea how much will the service cost? The fully synthetic oil alone costs around RM198 doh.gif

Another question, is not too late to change from SM to FS right? I read some where saying that there will be leak or something in older car...... Mine is 2009 anyway. Thanks smile.gif

It is never too late to change to a better oil unless u abused your engine before and caused the engine to worn out and started consuming engine oil. Do note to check if your exhaust emits any blueish smoke when running otherwise should still be in fine running condition. My ride is already 15 years old recon car and have been using fully syn. oil since I bought it 5 years ago. Not a drop of leak in between oil change.

Just came back from SS19 Toyota service center for 50k service smile.gif
Cost my RM209 with semi synthetic oil. Car feels much lighter and responsive especially accelerate at low RPM.
I think the huge difference also indicates that the semi synthetic oil degrades to an extent that you can feel it towards the end of 10k period.
