@harrychoo

Yeah its semi-syn biggrin.gif Judging on the price, RM98 should be the semi-syn Super 2000 smile.gif

@VeeJay

Bardahl synthetic is the cheapest .. fully syn for RM85 only. Semi syn RM65. Mineral RM59. But the packaging is in approx. 4 US gallon,, equivalent to 3.75litres .. I used the mineral before .. very good smile.gif

What is the mileage for Super 2000?
Think will try this oil on this weekend service.
*
Usually the mileage for semi-syn is 6000km. But if you're in a tight budget, or the engine oil still performs well enough, can last around 7500km ..

Mineral -5000km
Semi-syn - 7500km
Fully-syn - 10000km
wink.gif


But based on my engine oil change interval sticker that my mech stick on my windscreen, the mileage is 5000km only .. but who cares, I'm gonna use it until 7500km laugh.gif

But again, engine oil is cheaper than engine. So judge on your own nod.gif

im using:

Brand: Syntium 800
Model: 15w-50
price: got it for free
Feedback: normal. dont think its the best. i used it cuz i forgot to check my engine oil and tiba tiba red light already blinked. luckily got one 4l package in the car (got it for lucky draw). engine power felt okay but not so much compared to penzzoil (but i forgot which one cuz my mechanic filled it in for me before it went dry)
rating: 4/5...

but in future, im planning to go for syntium 5000 or syntium 3000
im petronas staff, so got it cheap
anyone tried these?

Your engine consumes engine oil ? Even when you're using minerals ?

Just got my car service with VOLTRONIC 5w40 for the second time in Miri the other day!!! my car become so much quiet than previous and just so amazing the oil when blow out wow drool.gif  yellowish!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!  I read online review it is made in GERMANY with first class quality!!  rclxm9.gif biggrin.gif i love their coolant too!!!  and their packing are really very high standard too (which attract me for the first sight  and price is so reasonable and affordable!! i'm addicted to VOLTRONIC and my gang of car lover friends too!!
That means the engine oil you are using now has no or very little cleaning capabilities (detergent additives) ... shouldnt continue to use it anymore ..

Engine oil are meant to be black after certain mileage because they clean our engine and all the dirty residue should flow out with the engine oil .. if your engine oil very clean/yellowish that means all the dirty stuff are left over inside your engine .. you call that good ?!! doh.gif
