just bought this mineral oil at petrol station...

want to use this at waja mitsu engine..

izzit suitable to use due to monograde?

well im using it together with bardhal engine treatment..

what is the advantage or disadvantage use monograde oil in malaysian road environment?

tq

this is the difference between mono and multigrade oil found in google

The main difference between these two types of engine oil is their fluidity at cold start. Multigrades, such as 10W/40, 15W/40, 5W/30, etc., flow more easily and are therefore pumped round to the critical components much more quickly. Historically, the 'W' stands for winter. As well as this important feature, multigrades also have to provide a protective oil film at higher temperatures when the engine has warmed up. Monogrades on the other hand provide a very good oil film at working temperatures, but their cold start properties are poor. To overcome this it used to be the practice to put a thin monograde, such as a SAE 30, in the engine during the winter and a heavier monograde, such as a SAE 50.

soo the overall summary i understand for monograde and multigrade engine oil is

the coldstart of the engine right? soo monograde engine oil not so good for cold start..

tq
can i know why the W doesnt effect much?
is this because Malaysia is averagely a hot climate through out the year?

thnx for opinion and explaination..the car is waja..it is almost 10 year old car..im not using solely this oil..im using it together
with bardhal engine treatment.. ..what i notice, the engine produce a bit less noise than before.. ..but you got ur point there..im quite
agree with that..


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

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

delo is for diesel right? cannot comment much about it..not sure...however i do heard the caltex oil is quite good..

but this petronas mach 5 sae 40 can be use both petrol and diesel engine..

i used to buy castrol 20w50 before...no problem for the engine...but the price is keep increasing..
and also it is kinda hard to know the originality of the engine oil...i scared for fake product..
the castrol product that i can 80% trust the originality is from supermarket store..such as carrefour/tesco/giant/etc...big store...
so i prefer to buy from petrol station

no problem with the oil..just changed it today

can't say much about this oil...seems all normal..no sluggish...performance not soo much difference..coz all this while using mineral oil to maintain it..

before this using 15w40 castrol...but i can tell..this oil..abit decrease in perfomance..just abit...but not much noticeable..my experience

for rm50 and genuine oil from petronas..cannot complain much about it seems it is a cheap mineral monograde oil..

after all..the car is nearly 10 years old..an old car..but serve me well..just keep the maintenance regularly..

thnx for review..wow..using diesel engine oil to lubricate petrol engine? i heard about it...how long has u done this?
im sure the diesel engine oil much more cheaper...more cheap if u buy bulk or those in barrels..
however im not have confidence yet to use diesel engine oil...
the least i will choose is the mineral engine oil that stated at the back that can be use both petrol and diesel engine

thnx for clarification..now i understand...
u buy from barrel ar? much more cheaper then..

ya...just read about API rating..hmm..you got ur point there..tqq
