Lots of very good reviews.
Even one time i read a Subaru WRX owner used it on the tracks, and found the engine oil temperature is lower.
I cant find the source though. Its from Autoworld.com.my if i recall.

Yes i have faith in the correct diesel engine oil lubricating my petrol engine. Read below and ill explain why.

Most diesel oil wont tell you straight on its label, that it is "suitable for petrol engine" . It wont.
Even the Shell Rimula R1 i poured in, Doesnt clearly states it.
Otherwise they wont be able to sell their higher priced, petronas synthium/mach 5 oil to normal consumers.

The keyword , when looking for compatibility of the diesel engine lubricant for gasoline engine,
Is by the API S grade. I.e API SE,SF, SN, etc., at the back of the bottle.
If you dont see any S grade, its clearly incompatible for the gasoline engine.

U sure u want to use something older than API SJ (API SF in your petronas) on your waja? I think in long run it would damage your catalytic converter due to high zinc and phosphorus.

Which one is more important for lifespan issue.
The engine, or the catalytic converter? If I may say, of course its the engine.

In US,yes, the Catatylic converter is important to pass the emissions test,
but in Malaysia, Puspakom dont give a shit about it.

That's why the newer API poses a more serious issue for older engines due to reduced zinc level., just to protect the cat, at the expense of engine life.

yes very2 true...

also, only 1% of cases involving cat damage cause of using API SG and below...

i've been using HDEO for 4 years now...HDEO is known for having high ZDDP....

Engines do burn a little bit of oil during combustion.

But even a small concentration of ZDDP wont harm.

FYI, if your engine is already at terminal stage whereby its blowing blue smoke like a 2 stroke kapcai,
Even with Mobil 1, Shell Helix Ultra, or whatever fancyful full synthetic oil,
Your cat will be damaged by excessive oil blowby and clog up.

Just like Sarjan Tulang quotes:
