yes understand your point, good auto oil maker does not need to run heavy oil weight such as 5w40, 10w40, or even 10w50 and 15w50.

i my schedule service interval is every 5000 km on full synthetic oil if i service at SC. this is cause i notice performance drop after 6000 km and long hour driving each time go out station.

for the current best API standart is API grade V, this normally API SN on the bottle sticker as previous is SM grade.

next round is racing oil as this grade have the best protection for engine wear and tear.


i been using Full syn all the time even on my manual GB...hehe

yeah we should be worried with current situation.

i am using it, and it's convenient. it is plug and play, no issue about warranty as it is plug and play and not part replacement at all. if you are in penang i can recommend you a good place to install it. try to look around and perhaps you can do price comparison. it should be between rm300-rm380, well try to nego with the installer.

Ok bro, thanks for the info...beside, anyone using iridium plugs for ur lovely dugong?or use normal plugs is good enough?

mine not dugong but iridium spark plug...

Using Iridium plus on our engine is good since this type of plus able to improve FC and better engine respond... in the market there is few good brand from Bosch, Denso, NGK and etc... but if you are looking for the ultimate plug for our car dugong and any engine you can try look for Silver spark plug... This silver spark plug will out perform any Iridium plug in the market as they claim they are super good in this and that.

For Silver plug you can look for Brand Brisk or Nology Silver plug, price just alittle more then iridium plug.

I read some ppl suggest IK20 is more suitable for vios model but the website stated as IK16.
So, which one is the best?

If I want to install the trd sport pedal for my toyota that i bought outside, will the SC ppl do FOC or they will charge separately.

depends what SC u go... original UMW Toyota they will not install anything 3rd Party or what we bought from outside... some SC they do help but labour charges apply...

for the Iridium Spark Plugs i'm currently using NGK ones... because it has small gap which is 0.8mm gap similar with OE parts...
for Denso parts I can help to ask from my fren (disty) for Denso parts... give you an answer later.

FYI, the plug should be IK/VK 16... he also duno why those ppl recommend to use IK/VK 20...

dugong owners.. just to check.. can i use Castrol Edge Sport 0w-40? since new toyota oil also recommends 10w-30 mineral/semi-syn and 5w-40 fully syn..

yes, lowest ever try is 0w20
