QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Feb 21 2012, 01:24 PM) best if you dont exceed 10k OCI, even most full syn dont go over 10k unless both car specification (some high end/luxury cars for example) and oil specification permits/encourages it. thanks...since when you replace oil filter oil will leak out anyways, might as well just change the engine oil complete   but this Duron XL has been proven OCI up to 20000km....me got the 1 litre bottle for top up when change the OF.... coz one of my friend use the Duron E(mineral group II+), OCI at 20000km....already 3 times do it...every 20000km OCI... maybe it is coz of the Pure Base Oil by PC....99.9% crystal clear base oil...odorless and colorless...superb performance... sarjantulang |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Feb 21 2012, 01:49 PM) does your car recommend/encourage 20k km OCI? if not, please don't do it. even if the oil property can withstand, carbon/sludge build up will still occur regardless. and our oil filter generally cant last that long of an OCI and will get clogged, resulting in less filtration which also means a dirtier engine and that will be very detrimental to your engine in the long run. that's why i will change the OF at 7000km or 10000km....our local OF cant last longer...the design, material cant stand deposit, soot, clogging too much...OF cant last longer, but a very2 good engine oil with good base oil and additive will.... but not too say it will stay like up to 100000km or something like some claim by "mlm" product....hehehe xphr3ak: yarp bro...Heavy Duty Engine Oil... sarjantulang |

QUOTE(ThunderGod_Cid @ Feb 22 2012, 05:08 PM) LM the hipster huhu as salam,Added on February 22, 2012, 4:13 pm so if the oil is not cleaning the engine and producing so much soot that the OF cannot handle, why not change the oil TOGETHER with the filter? If it's a group II oil i wouldn't even go past 6,000km. All, or most oils are hydroscopic btw... which is why manufacturers ask to change at 5-10k, or 3-6months, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST that's depend on what type of engine oil you're using....if group I and Group II please change it on time....coz of the additif package cant last longer....also the VI will reduce significantly let say from 128 to 90(example)... but if one can get Group II+, III,IV then the OCI will be longer than normal......like the AMSOIL....proven up to 15000 miles(miles not KM) and again...it also depend how much confident customer with the engine oil....even if the manufacturer claim can last up to 20000km(with OF change every 5k km), but the customer is not confident, no one cant argue... 10 basic ADDITIVE package that have to be put in all engine oil are: 1. Detergent 2. Dispersant 3. Oxidation Inhibitors 4. Corrosion Inhibitors 5. Rust Inhibitor 6. Anti-Wear agents - most likely to be put 7.Foam Depressants 8. Viscosity Index (VI) Improvers 9. Pour Point Depressants 10. Friction Modifiers the FORMULA is secret and what are the additive are also secret...only the manufatrurer know... but for Anti Wear, most likely are ZINC and Phophorus aka ZDDP again, depends on what brand of EO you're using... just my 34.5sen....kindly correct me if i'm wrong...as i also new to this info sarjantulang |

as salam,
that'w why some of the very2 good and quality engine oil has state in the packaging "EXTENDED OIL DRAIN"/ EXTENDED DRAIN OIL".... even they have the testimonial.... if one want to sure about it, after certain thou KM, take some sample of your EO, then go for LAB TEST to get a result of acid,oxidation, zddp, VI value, alkali and so on..... sarjantulang |

QUOTE(Vervain @ Feb 26 2012, 12:35 AM) Can you name me the brands for the mentioned top class mineral oil? I may want to try it out on my next oil change. Petro Canada Duron E(mineral group II+)[can you find any group II+ in Malaysia for mineral?] it is mineral but performance and VI are like the synthetic oil....proven as many of my friend achieve 10000km-20000km OCI..... good High Detergent oil??simply go for Heavy Duty Engine Oil as their additive for Detergent, Zinc and other additive are slightly HIGHER than normal PCMO.... another brand to consider are Valvoline Premium Blue....also proven on many car,SUV like Caldina, Wish, Estima, Alphard and many more..... as long as there is API S* standard, then the oil are usable on gasolin engine... sarjantulang |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Feb 27 2012, 02:23 AM) personally, i would steer clear of it. i mean, it is meant for diesel engine for a reason, right? nope really being proven will happen like that...unless you're just using it as a flushing method, then yeah thats fine. however for normal usage, using engine oil meant for diesel engines, you're probably looking into long term engine damage (seals in particular). i'm almost 4 years using Heavy Duty Engine Oil for both my car and bike....so far the result are so good and nothing like engine damage claims.... most likely, my bike engine are more clean, less sludge, soot....my car also run more smooth and last longer for OCI... with most of the HDEO oil are getting API SL/SM rating, and also with higher ZDDP additive means it will protect your engine from METAL-TO-METAL-CONTACT.... many people MIS-understood about HDEO...most are likely pointing the HDEO are only meant for diesel/lorry engine... just my 34.5sen after using HDEO for almost 4 years.... sarjantulang |

as salam,
AFAIK, the exact quantity and formula and additive are SECRET RECIPE for any oil manufacturer..... but 10 basic additive as i mention before, are standard nowadays... no company will reveal what actually they put inside their oil sarjantulang Added on February 29, 2012, 11:14 am QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ Feb 29 2012, 11:56 AM) I don't know about VTEC etc but I do know on diesel engines with intercooling and turbocharging, never experienced any problem with good Mineral Oil. Of course, our experience only goes up to 1/2 million kilometer so can't say what will happen beyond that mileage. And diesel engine are known to be tougher on engine oils than petrol engine. That is why I said many people are unnecessarily worried about nothing over engine oils. one of my friend using the Duron E 15w-40(mineral).....every 20000km only he will change the oil...now already 3 times using the same oil....Since we do not have extreme cold like Alaska nor the extreme heat like the Sahara desert or drive a Ferrari, I bet the majority of people do not need FS oil. It's simply a waste of money IMHO. And oil salesman tried to justify the higher cost by telling lies about being able to extend OCI with FS. As for the VTEC issue. I suspect it is due to using oil of the wrong viscosity/rating rather than FS or Mineral. the question is, what kind of BASE OIL produce by the company....is it 75% base oil or 99% pure base oil.... and FYI, you can put any additive you like to your oil as long as you know where to get it.....hehehe sarjantulang This post has been edited by sarjantulang: Feb 29 2012, 11:14 AM |

QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ Feb 29 2012, 12:22 PM) Imagine a cook cooking a special dish. While you do know he uses salt, sugar, oil, vinegar, pepper etc as ingredient, he will not tell you how much quantity to use and when you use them. It could be vinegar must come before pepper or pepper before salt. It's his secret. So if you add too much vinegar, the taste will be totally off and ruin the dish the cook had carefully prepared for you. yes that right sir.....that's why my sifu always said all engine oil are depend on the what type of BASE OIL and what kind of additive are inside...Likewise, while we do know what additives a oil manufacturer use, we can not go and add more of the stuff ourselves. Doing so may ruin the engine oil. That is why I tell people, don't go add additives by yourself because you are going to ruin it. Too little not good. Too much can be not good also. Oil manufacturer spend billion to concoct a special recipe so don't be a smart *** to spoil what they created. again, the mentality of many customers around the world are only looking at FS oil, the pricey the better, the only "known" brand are the best.... if you search, there is thousand of engine oil manufacturer....sometimes they just bought a large quantity of base oil from a oil company, then produce, adding additive, re brand and sell to customer.... many of us still dont know what kind of engine oil they're buying...sometimes fake and recycle(at some sparepart), sometime spend to much money for an engine oil that sound good but give poor quality.... in Malaysia, our customer are not protected enough.....in others country like US, EU, "one simply dont make claim of their product until proven"... sarjantulang |

QUOTE(kEITh_22b @ Mar 6 2012, 06:36 AM) Yes, it is certainly conclusive that my engine takes in 4-liters of oil alright..., and that is really a lot, and heavy! (I know how heavy 4-liters of engine-oil is; I didn't know there's really so much oil inside the engine indeed...) High Detergent mineral oil are mostly have high TBN number....something like 8-9-10....for normal passanger car oil, dont think they have it.... As such, I might think of grabbing some cheap 10W - 30 mineral based engine-oil; for revving/taking a spin, & then topping-up. (It's good to clean-up the engine & then change the oil more frequently before the addictives breaks down.) High-Detergent mineral engine-oil will certainly be very ideal. (This is good for old car; if for very new car; then can just opt for fully-synthetic and then change the oil much less frequently IMO.) if you want, get the Delvac 1300/Delvac MX, Duron E, Pennzoil Longlife, Valvoline Premium Blue....this certainly have high TBN and very2 high additive like ZDDP.... sarjantulang |
