Previously using Ravenol 5/40 for many years until few days back decided try a new oil. Prior to changing noticed steering and engine vibration during stops while in d gear. After changing the oil+LM otw home there were no more vibration. Was thinking maybe my engine mounting which was changed 4-5 yrs back were beginning to fail. Anyway this new oil seems to give a lighter โ€œfeelโ€ not sure improvement in fuel consumption. Will observe and current mileage above 160k kmโ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜‚

no worry bro, the oil is still ok la, at least the API certification is legit.

u bought from their lazada official store right? Chat/ask them to clarify on this dexos approval issue. If they ignore you, you may consider leaving a 1star rating with comment (fake dexos approval). I am sure the boss will jump up and down when see this rating devil.gif then they'll find you via whatsapp/fb/IG/ whatever channel sweat.gif

Hi sifus

Does anyone has any experience with the DTOX engine oil?

It claims to have API-SN certification, exceeds all lab testing standards

https://www.dtox.com.my/dtox-engine-oil

Thanks.

If I were you, I would stay away from it as it is not well-tested by the community in MY, also less information can be found about that brand and quality, If I'm not mistaken it's from China

My Vios went to dealer to change 5w30 oil which I think is mineral.
They told me to come back after 10000km. Full Synthetic only has 5w40.
Can mineral last that long? Thinking of changing after 5000km outside garage, then 10000km go back to dealer again.

Thanks
