If you're assuming that group 5 is the best, then I do not agree to this statement. It all depends on application and for normal driving, group 5 could be harmful to your engine as it is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts water. If you race, nevermind as you throw away after a few runs. But on normal driving, with extended change intervals, the benefits are almost negligible at best against PAO. (complete reading the attachment for a crash course on base oils)

There are plenty of brands using group 3 and 2 in the markets and many cars are running fine with that.

Finally you're back, starting to machine gun people

Anyway, something you can consider to pin on front page if it serves the purpose in the knowledge of engine oil analysis.

group 5 is a catch all so claiming group 5 being hygroscopic isnt true either.
don't forget i've been using ester based lubricant for my late inspira and it didn't cause any problems and it also ran on 10k km/6 months oci.

i got discharged, still rehabilitating/recovering at home, but i can use my pc so things are a bit easier compared to the hospital
ill check out the links later and will pin as needed, thanks

Doctor give you MC for how long?

What a bad series of events that happened to you. Not too long ago, you totaled your car. Now your bike also kena totaled.

Thankfully, you yourself not totally totaled, but still quite a bad injury on you...

Both financially and physically kena hit, must be tough on you and your family....

oh no, the bike is in a much better shape than i am, as if nothing happened.

=edit=

all ok with you? bike just leave it be, so long as you are still ok.....

to avoid being OT, refer here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3948948/+340

wow......
speedy recovery bro!!

Is the molygen the latest range from liqui moly? Anyone tried? Is it fully synthetic?it says is SN. MoS2 range is SL, a little outdated for me.
Liqui moly only has their special tec AA listed in API website, SN. But I'm kind of eager to try their oil.

How about the penrite enviro 5w30? Also listed inside API website. Anyone tried before?

penrite enviro i believe izso highly recommends it

if you're adventurous/keen on 0w20 penrite racing, do pm me.

What I have now is Motul 8100 X Clean FE 5w30.

This afternoon changed my EO to motul 300v 5w30, first time using this oil pair with Project mu oil filter
previous EO was Torco Sr1 5w30 with Work engineering oil filter.

Less sluggish compare to torco, i feel that my car more smooth during high speed...

How much you paid for 300V and Torco SR1?

Clean engine oil of course feel smoother la

I feel likewise when changing fresh shell and tesco engine oil of my old car. Give it a few thousand km, then the only will see how substantial the difference will be.
