i believe all cars has the this oil pump to pump the engine oil before start the engine...n i agree about thinner oil flow better...

the single grade doesnt mean makes no difference but those W doesnt mean much to our climate...n they are here becos of market vs pricing = profit...

how about SAE 40 vs 0w40 in general?

yerpp..somehow i thinking about this...oil pump suppose to pump the engine oil right..hmm hmm.gif ...you have point there..
other than that..this oil quite cheap...and the most important..it is original that i bought from petrol station.. smile.gif

im also thinking...so which cheapest mineral engine oil better? sae 40 or 20w50? but i guess 20w50 quite heavy right? hmm.gif

of cos its suitable to use here...the only cons with this oil is its heavy n not performance oriented...so can safely say good for daily drive who rarely drive more than 3.5k rpm for example...

they are many cheap mineral oil but those with good brand are good...please avoid those "new name' brand...cheapest branded mineral oil i believe less than rm50

20w50 - car will feel sluggish eventho i never tried tat before...but mostly are...



actually this is kinda old argument actually..
