Manual recommend 0w30 or 5w30. Was thinking to try 5w40 instead. Lets see how

civic mnual is w20 viscocity due to their piston and cylinder wall design.. thicker oil will cause damage in long term..

Hi all

would like to get some advice from sifu here about changing the type of engine oil for my exora CPS (105K mileage. 7 years).

currently is using Shell Helix H7 semi synth 10-40W, plan to change to Castrol Edge Fully synth 5W-40.

usage of the my car
1. muse as student transporter car, hence several times (6 to 8 times) of on/off engine per day
2. 90% city drive
3. monthly mileage is around 3000Km
4. Reason to change to fully synth is becoz sometimes i could feel the car a bit sluggish. so i drive to have a better driving experience. ( since the car is my cari makan tools, everytime i service my car as scheduled)
5. Reason to choose Castrol is becoz the workshop recommended by my friend only sell this brand....lol ( appreciate if sifu here can recommend other brand which is equivalently good)

Can sifu enlighten me about the pro and con about the change the oil
* higher price tag of fully synth oil compare with semi synth is acceptable for me. 

Thanks in advance
*
Based on this, i think u should switch to 5W30.

But why all the while u are using semi syn, now out of sudden want to change to fully syn? biggrin.gif

Can use on Proton? Lol, or maybe go for Petronas EO. Bosch, Bardahl, Elf ok?

Reason not going for Castrol/Shell coz have too much fake one compared to the other brands.
*
Buy at petrol station lor, the safest way. Or try at caltex station for havoline engine oil quite good.

Never try Motul 4100 before but using H-Tech 100 Plus so far so good, quiet and don't feel heavy.
