sorry my bad, castrol magnatec RM79.90, wht I meant is that you top up RM25.00 and you still can go for a much better SEMI SYNTHETIC such as LiquiMoly's 10w30 or 10w40(yes, PROVEN) which actually gives you the kind of protection you need.

And as per mentioned in earlier post, it's still within budget COMPARING to going for oils that are RM160-200 which falls into the fully synth category.
*
then might as well get Pennzoil Platinum fully synthetic... around rm115 je

Just have my mechanic to drain my Eneos 10w40 oil. Less than 6k and it's dark like coffee, not to mentioned feels heavy and sluggish. After changing to Liqui Moly 10w40, notice the acceleration is somewhat, silky smooth.

Silky should be the word instead of light as I have used eneos 5w30 before. It feels light, but the engine sounds like going to explode.
*
hard to compare.
because now the feeling of comparison is with 6k old oil.

Some advice please.

4B11 first 1000km changing to full synthetic the SC gave me choice between Petronas 3000 and a Shell fully Syn.

Which is better? Or should I even go fully at all?

Thanks peeps  rclxms.gif
*
choose low viscosity engine oil.. 5w-20/5w-30/0w-30 if possible because 4b11 are designed to use low viscosity engine oil.

Hi, sifu. Can myvi use 10W40 castrol oil? Or just stick back to 5w30. Thanks, all.
*
stick back to 5w-30
by moving to 10w-40, ur FC consumption will be higher, engine less power and less protection.
the gap in myvi engine are designed for 5w-30 where 10w-40 will be thicker.
so possibility of some area not protected by the oil it higher because it cannot slip thru it.

since your car still new and under warranty, honda malaysia allow you to bring own engine oil for service?

we can see before this, a lot of their comment actually trying to sell their own product and coming out facts without proof and also create their own believe and push it to others.

good job enhanced vehicle!
