To be honest, I personally change my engine oil at 8k even though I use the more expensive 0W30 fully synthetic. If you google around, most of us are driving under severe driving conditions with lots of start and go traffic and hot weather. Recommended OCI is 10k under normal driving conditions. So I think 8k OCI is quite ok.
What car are you driving bro?
Am driving an Accord, clocked 200k km as of now....... So far, 10k km works okie with Mobil1. Most of my mileage are from highway anyway so it should be pretty okie.
SERVICE LIFE AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline-fueled vehicles as follows:
Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. In all non-gasoline-fueled vehicle applications, extend the oil change interval according to oil analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval.
for myvi 1.3 manual, may i know recommended EO, below rm100?
as I'm a student
been using petronas s800, almost 9k already
Well, i've been using p2 oil (both 5k nd 10k oil) until the last oil change. I didnt find anything wrong eventhough they're not the best option. The reason is (at least for me) that there's no better solution for under rm100 and if p2 sc is trying to con me by giving a bad oil, I'll be happy to claim a new engine.
Yea i owned and abused a 1.3 ezi 2008 fully service at p2 sc.

any API SN engine according to your manufacturer recommended viscosity/ambient temperature viscosity ranges. if pug is as sloppy as most manufacturer, they'd put some really stupid/dated rating like API SG, which isn't exactly low SAPS also.

You see those people bashing new Honda EO without backing. Good or not good, at least Honda has been pushing 0W-20 EO for long unlike the others.
