QUOTE(Kirie @ Oct 8 2011, 10:55 PM) like Chemlube? it can last for 40k km as been told by Zenden, but under controlled driving condition la Oil kept too long, the dirt is being circulated only. Anyway, even the oil can last, the additives will break down. |

QUOTE(ikeken @ Nov 11 2011, 05:07 PM) Some advice please. Follow your car manual oil viscosity recommended......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  |

QUOTE(XTREMEQ @ Nov 16 2011, 01:09 PM) New saga 1.3 Auto, what engine oil recommend? Before that I use Shell engine oil. Now thinking want to change penzoil oil. Which type I have to change and the price range is? Check your car manual for recommended viscosity.Other then that the 10w-40 SS should be good.... Added on November 16, 2011, 1:43 pm QUOTE(kuaLe_AGX @ Nov 16 2011, 12:09 PM) been using Valvoline 15w50 for over a year now on my old Saga. B4 this im using Castrol 20w50 mineral Not cheap for SS 4L only......about the Valvoline, great oil. Can use until 8k km...even approaching 8k the engine still feel smooth. But if got budget it's recommended to change every 5-6k km this one, around rm120 per 4l bottle  Most SS oil cost around RM100. Shell SS on offer at Tesco is 5L packing and when promo is only around RM89 Added on November 16, 2011, 1:44 pm QUOTE(rocketeer_ace @ Nov 16 2011, 10:48 AM) Question: Has anyone here has tried out any of the engine oil from HKS? If yes, how was it? Not sure how good they are but they were offering the 10w-38 at RM100 just a while back......This post has been edited by vr2turbo: Nov 16 2011, 01:44 PM |

Nope, these 10w-38 are FS oil. Don't look at the price of RM100. It was an offer price.
Normal price is way higher......  |

It was some sort of anniversary thing that they celebrated. I was shock also to see that, but I did not buy because it was meant more for NA cars, and my other NA car is using SS only....

If not consuming engine oil can still switch back to SS 10w-40.
My old Sonata was on FS 5w-40, then SS 5w-30, then back to FS 5w-40, now on SS 10w-40 |

QUOTE(cheekybum127 @ Nov 18 2011, 10:48 PM) any review on NASA engine oil? Is it good? NASA is locally blend engine oil. Cannot find much detail about them....Added on November 19, 2011, 3:01 pm QUOTE(e_k1117 @ Nov 19 2011, 12:54 PM) my car-civic fd1 makan minyak after switch from semi-syn 5w.30 to fully syn 5w-40 at millage 110k km. after 8k running the oil seems like "evaporate" almost 35%.... my friend told me that my car no longer suite for fully syn.. is that true? i had purchase another fully syn to change la.... Quite surprise on this. sum said my top gasket start to have minor leak alr... pls advice...I have heard before but those were like using SS 10w-40 changing to FS 0w-30. The usages of lighter viscosity oil in older worn engine then will consume some engine oil, but for you even though going from SS to FS, you went to thicker viscosity therefore should be okay......

I always check in the morning. Make sure the car is parked on flat ground also.
At the mechanic, he normally have to start the engine to fill the oil filter and check for leaks. After that he should off the engine, and let it stand for a while before checking and normally I will tell them to leave it at 3/4 mark, then I will check again next morning. Added on December 2, 2011, 9:32 am QUOTE(kEITh_22b @ Dec 2 2011, 03:30 AM) I have a question; All major brands have the additives added to clean also...... I am currently using Shell branded engine oil, which has the so-called cleaning properties inside the oil to clean up the engine nicely... (Which I really like.) But are there also other brand(s) of engine oils out there that also offers this cleaning/cleansing properties inside their oils (just like Shell)? Please recommend if you know. Thanks a lot in advance.  This post has been edited by vr2turbo: Dec 2 2011, 09:32 AM |

If the engine is old and you use to light a viscosity the oil can slip through at higher revs into the combustion chamber and gets burnt off a little at a time. This way there will not be any smoke as it becomes a clean burn off, so engine oil level will reduce over long mileage.....
