I modified in my original post...loves to modify instead of create new post....
Any to rephrase...
Price for FS is abt RM198 to RM200 inclusive labor. Bought 2 cans 5W40 outside for RM140 only but still testing on both my city....hoping its original (it should be coz I think since Idemitsu only sell direct to workshop and not available on retail, it minimize potential for fakes (fakes wanted volume...parts shop sells)...but you never know...
Semi 10W40 is abt RM110 kuah...with labor.
Added on October 7, 2011, 12:05 pmSo far my City pistons looks ok...so I think no need magnatec kuah...coz the Idemitsu confirm super clean ASSUMING you service every 5K to 6K. I believe that is a major part of the reason for the super clean non contaminated shiny shiny internal engine...
If like Zen, always drags till no power, don't think even if use Grade 4 FS, it can maintain that cleanliness..
Haha...loves to use Zen as example....but frankly lots of ppl drag till no power only change...engine cepat die wan...but in the end depends on luck..
u mention 2 cans 5W40 is RM140. so cheap? is cheaper than use castro managtec semi wei...
then i rather use idemitsu FS and service 5K lo... still cheaper wat...

The only way to know if damage is done is to open open engine and see if piston or bore gap scratch due to insufficient thinkness. I think if you constantly go at 100 to 100km/h especially for long drive. Weight 40 is the one you should use, no doubt abt that. If most city drive and speed usually don't exceed 110km/h, weight 30 "might" still be manageable tho I still would go by the manual..
As I mention b4, lube clean either means your engine is clean OR it might be its not doing enuf cleaning.
My City using the FS by 1K to 2.5K, already going towards dark brown...open up engine super clean. That means IT IS DOING whats its other key function is about....cleaning and SUSPENDING contaminants in its liquid. If after 10K still light brown...I will have doubt abt the lube cleaning AND suspension capabilities....NO WAY a lube in our weather and dusty air can maintain light brown after 5-6K..
may be can ask Zeng go open his engine and check the piston see still shiny or not?
wanna do that zeng?

I saw the Myvi, normal number plates only, but tampal those Bekas Police plague, Rela plague, those useless Negeri emblem all.. Like flower car wei... But too bad still parking at TarC roadside.. hahaha..
One thing good bout Japanese stuffs is that they really do proper R&D b4 marketing a product, and wont cut corners to achieve the quality standards. So when u are using a high grade stuff from Japan u can be assured of the quality and reputation of the manufacturer..

That time I use Magnatec for 9k cos no money to change oil.. I very sayang my car one.. Sayang more than my gf.. Last time my gf also complaint i use more care taking care of my car than her..
Next round I dunno which oil im going to try, another 4.5k km b4 my next service but i want to change earlier like after 3.5k mileage. Currently on my mind is Castrol Edge Titanium, Eneos fully Sync, Idemitsu Fully Sync and Mobil 1 Gold Super Sync.
no need to tapao those myvi la... feel boring to play with them
Hehe...dun always think Japan's product is good... i work at Japan's Comp JVC for 2 years. all Indonesia, bangla, myammar workers doing in production. dun even understand malay/english. u think how the production ppl teach them to work like machine? Even the "R&D" is japanese but their manufacture factory at malaysia, myamar, china, cambodia, vietnam....
