petronas, shell ...those oil suck la from my experience
i've been using it all these while since the car is bought just becuz its cheap
now that engine oil hiked 2 times...i change already..now the engine is super quiet and rev happy and light
and somemore the oil i used is just SL...not SM
am using liqui moly(RM118)...or u can try koh_424's Agip...since those petronas already RM103...add few bucks only

bro what diff 15w and 10w.. my friend said better use 10w for cold start at morning..

winter...i think doesn't work here
so most ppl when buy oil here...asking recommendation ...usually ppl will say XW-40/XW-50
u can get any W

Since we hear of a no. of Bros lamenting their rides becoming more sluggish after oil change @1k Km, cld it be becoz Proton Assembly Plants initially put in SAE30 grade oil?
Wld explain the diff felt when SCs change to SAE40, rite?

it depends how sluggish it is
last time 50 thn went to 40...not much difference..only smoother in pickup
it could be what kind of oil they poured...should ask SC...a good oil makes a whole lot of difference

but i went to this SC @ sea park that day it clearly stated that must buy the oil that they carry on their shelf.. cannot bring own oil.. which other SC in PJ area that have the allowance to bring own oil for service?

koh_424
just curious, if the company gets a new ride, then where will that saga go? trade-in?

some can some cannot
the proton edar SC i go previously allow use own oil
but that time using shell becuz its still cheap and SC allow that oil(this one care less)
most of the time becuz its cheap..RM90 i bought mine
but now since engine oil hiked twice...my place here shell HX7 - RM109...expensive already
thn recently just switch to better oil which is just few bucks more expensive only

I found this eneos oil brand at the auto garage market. Is it good?

yes good
a good oil
u watch carefully the label / the back of the bottle
see if it contains molybdenum(if not wrong), ester, PAO
eneos itself contains molybdenum
simply said molybdenum - makes the engine smooth and quiet
ester, PAO = make the engine lighter, easier to rev and pickup faster

Either trade-in or do private sell.

But previous few company cars we also sell it our ownself. Trade-in rugi alot.

Thanks bro for the advise. I found your liqui moly on below thread. Liq moly or Eneos better? or both same quality?

That Seapark one looks pariah lah. Even when ask them questions very LCLY. Go to SS13 la, the one behind Sin Chew HQ. Can bring own oil.

from the content...it's quiet the same..both contains molybdenum
but eneos higher grade than liqui moly..since liqui moly is SL only
eneos = japanese, liqui moly = germany
for me each got their own advantage...u choose yourself...haha
for me..am using liqui moly cuz of the MOS2 addictives inside...it really works
either way both are good oil....u can try liqui moly 1st thn next service go eneos thn u see for yourself which oil suits u thn u continue using that brand
theres nothing wrong with testing other brand each time

for those who got extra money...they would go for eneos or liqui moly since they contain molybdenum thn add revo addictives(contains ester and PAO)....you'll get best of both world

buy oil that you want and change urself lor... no warranty + syok sendiri = risk on parts + cannot claim warranty... XD

ada free labour charge for waht wanna change myself? lol

for 10k mileage only... after that potong steam sia...

if u want to change yourself...u need to have the tools as well
those tools aren't cheap

haha ! tools i got adi... cause poor ppl apa pun prefer DIY ma...

not so poor if u service outside
normal service still can DIY...but major service...need to know how to change those coolant and ATF as well
DIY is good...but tools aren't cheap...and need place too...the place i stay doesn't allow me to DIY..lol
DIY good cuz the engine oil..u can let it drain overnight...so its totally drained
