anyone have tried syntium 7000 0w-40 or 5000 0w-30? no review on the net

previously used syntium 3000 10w-40...i would prefer the lighter 5000 0w-30 but the 7000 is newer spec

I asked because i noted that Honda fully synthetic oil with PAO formulation is graded SL is is selling a lot more expensive than the Honda SN fully synthetic oil. There must be something in which the SL oil is better than the SN.

not always the more expensive product is better.

if use lighter one, fc improve or not ? and is there any side effect like engine become slow / more response ?

sorry noob here. So far I only use syntium 3000 10w-40 from sc.

i just bought shell helix hx7 10w-40 4L at RM110 to service my saga 2005 model car. i felt conned.

How much is the market price now?

tesco parallel import and currently under promotion got full synthetic Shell Helix Ultra with the new pureplus technology at RM129.
normal price was 24x or 22x lol

really a?

yeah usually lighter eo result in improve fc and faster engine response.

BTW you sent your oil sample to us to do analysis?
How much is it and how much it cost?

uh wut?

well the posts/links did mention the pricing numerous time but its ok no harm repeating:
usd35 for UOA, poslaju about rm120

Cool. Torco SR-1 is API SN.

yes it is despite the email exchange i had with them

see, even with all the difficulties and inconvenience, costing etc, it is still important to have proper certification so that you can strengthen trust with your customers

If u want cheap oil, always keep an eye on Tesco promotion. From Mobil 1 20W50(4L), Mobil 0W40(4L), Shell Ultra Helix (5L), Total Quartz Ineo MC3 5W40(5L), all listed here are fully synthetic and mostly is API SN, price range from RM129-149 during promotion.

Those cheap oil = recycling oil is totally bullshit.

Getting my absurdly expensive 8 bottles of Motul DCTF for the Evo X. Only 280 dollars inclusive of shipping. Farkin mahal. I haven't even bought the filter yet for the transmission.

Considering draining the BMW's transmission and replacing with Redline 75W90 NS GL-5 Gear Oil as very fast shifts into certain gears seems rough and hard on the synchros. Other than that there doesn't seem to be many issues either way.

going to be replacing my redline MTL as well... this time running without additives for a change.

happen to get them cheap on yesterday's SMART event at one Utama for RM48/quart (regular pricing ranges between rm55-65/quart)

swept their last 4 bottles of MTL when they were closing at 8pm lol.


probably replacing the gear oil after Sepang, after more wear is induced and then 1 shot drain all of the wear/shavings

Well it is usually good practice to drain after a stressful event, so it makes good sense.

I've been reading around and it seems for DI cars, a lot of people in the know when it comes to oil chemistry swear by this stuff http://www.renewablelube.com/gasoline.html

Might just give it a try as it is said to be extremely resistant to fuel dillution.

the website/claims seems so shady until i see this:

i guess it can't be all that bad when there's oil analysis being done

Why you don't want to stick to OEM Diaqueen DCT oil??
DCTF better then Diaqueen ah??
Jacks Transmission US tested and found Diaquen the best eh

Because it is 50 bucks a litre. Which is somewhat unjustified for a car that is only driven 3 times a month.

The OEM Diaqueen SSTF is merely a rebadged Castrol BOT341/Transmax Dual, but it's a lot harder to find.

Plus I might be selling the X to fund a nicer car at the end of the year.

nicer than the current bmw?
all my jelly lol
