Wait for tesco offer RM129 for Mobil super 3000 (full syn), or Total Quartz Ineo MC3 @ RM135.If must choose between LM and Magnacrap, I vote for LM. |

QUOTE(benson92 @ Jun 12 2015, 03:51 PM) I once saw Tesco got offer but not dare to buy scare the quality and where does the EO come from Tesco promote the oil openly yet local Mobil/Total distributor didn't make a sound. I think tesco won't be that stupid. |

Besides that, they also have many other oils on promotion but this Mobil has the biggest discount. Didn't realize that.Thank you for the reminder. |

QUOTE(eddie2020 @ Aug 4 2015, 08:36 PM) total brand apa tu? good? i hunt shell or castrol but dont have, 1k more need chg Total is french company specialized in oil and gas sector.It is the 7th biggest O&G player in the world. I would avoid any engine oil “blended ” and repacked. If you must take Castrol, take the Castrol made in EU or Germany. If you must take Shell, take FormulaShell made in USA. |

QUOTE(izso @ Aug 6 2015, 08:08 AM) Curious - why? Malaysian Mobil 1 vs Mobil 1 Europe are different blend in terms of additives to cater for different environmental conditions. Why is this sort of blending bad? Pardon my stubbornness. In Malaysia when the imported eo needs to be reblended, it is upon cost down consideration but not the issue of climate adaptation. You may agree or disagree with me due to lack of proof.That's pretty cheap. Where'd you get that price if you don't mind sharing? My brother in law is petroCanada reseller. But when hypermarts offer fully syn for RM129 i will buy from hypermarts. There isnt really significant difference in driving pleasure in both total quartz (full syn) and supreme (synthetic based) . It could be only me. |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 6 2015, 11:09 AM) imho, there is no issue in individuals having their own opinions, and i respect that. This one I can't agree more.my beef is when people are hard selling/pushing their opinions upon others as if it were the holy bible, or even worse blatantly putting words into people's mouth just to defame them just annoys me to no end. |
