I read from few pages back stated that do not go for FS if engine oil is leaking. What's the reason actually? Despite of having to refill it more often (as FS oil is pricey) <-- yea I take that as a con. Other than this reason?
Other than that, any reviews on Lexus FS 5W-40 oil? Planned to try on it as it's one of the cheapest FS oil that I can see. No prob switching from SS oil to FS oil rite?

I heard that Torco is good for performance. But then, is it only applicable to FS oil? how about SS oil?
Good quality SS oil is much better than so so brand FS oil. Anyone agree with this statement?

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Feb 11 2012, 10:52 PM) Torco SS is good as well, i'm a user of both torco and lm, and i dont think i am switching away any time soon  and yes, highly agree. what you pay is what you get, especially in the very competitive higher end market. I've used lm too. Not torco yet, planned to get it on next service. When I was using LM, my engine is quiet but somehow I felt that it's not that responsive for my car (might be smthg wrong with my engine? I doubt). Currently I'm trying Lexus FS oil, i cannot give any comment yet as I just reflashed my ECU last week. It's very responsive so I don't know it's the oil effect or Killerom effect. Lol  |

QUOTE(li_5997 @ Feb 11 2012, 11:40 PM) How long is the cycle of LM ss oil? Normal oil only 5000km. it can last up to 7k but better do not exceed. change at 6k plus the best.. if got budget then change it when it's approaching 6k

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Feb 11 2012, 11:44 PM) my iswara is damn responsive, however if wanna compare to my sentra that uses torco, cannot fight at all and thats why i've said if you want performance, look at something else like torco. however for engine quietness/performance etc, can't go wrong with LM. how about combination of Lambda oil primer + Torco 10W-40 + LM Ceratec?  |

Review for Lexus FS 5W-40 oil.
Power is there, but I don't really know the effects last long or not as I've just used it for 1000KM mileage. One bad thing about it is, it increases my car's FC. Now my car can get only 7km/l with normal driving. Not sure any part of my car has gone wrong or not, but i suspect it's the main culprit. Hesitating to change the oil back to SS tho (due to it's still fresh as only 1000KM traveled), really cannot tahan the FC. RM50 get less than 200KM.

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Feb 24 2012, 05:57 AM) whats the viscosity index? it could be a bit thicker than most performance/good SS hell, good FS will cost WAY OVER rm200. if you're paying around/less than rm200, you should be prepared for what you're getting. Yea it's cheap fs oil.. stated the viscousity is 5w-40.. maybe it's really a bit thicker than performance ss oil |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Feb 24 2012, 12:46 PM) there's a further viscosity index chart for higher temperatures. example: http://www.liqui-moly.de/liquimoly/mediend...2010W-40_EN.pdfI cannot find the spec of Lexus FS oil in google  But somehow I found this from the other forum I contacted the suppliers, and they said I would need to contact Lexus for information on viscosity at 40 C/100 C, VI and TBN. When I contacted the dealership, all I was told was it's "special oil for Lexus, very good oil"...which doesn't mean sheet. The supplier produces their own 5W-40 full synthetic, but the specs do not match (SL/CF vs SM, etc.). |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Feb 24 2012, 02:09 PM) from what you've quoted, i guess its time to steer clear from this oil then Yea.. gonna go back to LM.. need to fund for ceratec.. lambda primer + fuel to clean the entire system |

QUOTE(littlefire @ Feb 24 2012, 04:55 PM) I am one of the Lexus 5W-40 users, it help my Toyota Corolla AE111 to achieve even better FC woh (Previous using 10W-40 ELF semi)... But 1 thing i sure, is the oil easy to thin.. Especially around 5000km, the oil level will drop a bit below the Max level... By the way, my engine is 4A-GE 20V and i rev quite a lot.. It is a cheap fully syn oil, which i think is better compare to some semi-syn selling at the same price... Anyway, since it is so cheap.. I also change the oil around 7000km.. The reason why FC worsen, i believe your previous oil viscosity must be lower.. Coz i experience it when i help my sister P. Kelisa to change oil to Lexus 5W-40 (Ori is Petronas 5W-30) the car felt quite heavy a bit and the FC worsen.. Perhaps it doesn't suit my car. Btw, previous oil viscosity lower? Maybe LM SS oil viscosity is really lower than Lexus FS oil.. lol.. higher viscosity means thicker, lower viscosity means thinner.. By right 5W-40 should be thinner than 10W-40 right?

engine oil in turbocharged engines evaporate faster as turbo needs engine oil to lubricate all the parts and spin the turbine blade. true?
