Hi guys,

Anyone tried Amoil (not Amsoil) engine oil before? Heard it is manufactured from the same company as Amsoil? blink.gif
Saw quite a lot of workshop bringing in this brand. So I am quite curious about it.. hmm.gif
Any comments?

Previously I was using Castrol fully synthetic and my engine was consuming engine oil and tappet sound was obvious. I went to my mechanic to open up the top head and seal back with their glue, also seal some part that we suspect was causing the leak.

The best engine oil on the shelf that time was Amoil so I have to take it. The result was surprisingly good. Engine is not consuming engine oil anymore, tappet sound was gone and engine is smooth. Just maybe needs a bit more effort to revv to higher rpm.

So I was wondering...should I stick to this Amoil engine oil? (It is B3/B4 rated)

yes, it is amoil..not the famous amsoil. I have a bottle of liqui moly and 1 can of ceratec ready, so in case I find out this oil might causing potential trouble to my 4age engine, I would immediately change it.

performance good or not remains to be seen
but it should not cause damage to the engine AS LONG AS its not fake oil(as in used recycle oil)

Google it up and found its website. This oil is made in Malaysia. hmm.gif

used amoil before this. comparing to liqui moly, it is not as good. just go for liqui moly.

Cool, any complains on amoil?
How was amoil compared to liqui moly in terms of smoothness and performance? Huge difference?
So far my car is loving amoil, smooth acceleration even to 7k rpm. Quite surprised.

i have to say for my savvy, liquimoly is way better.

Thanks. Maybe after 5k km or when the engine starts to feel sluggish I would switch to liqui moly. Feels wasted to throw away fresh oil. sweat.gif
