Wonder what's the next oil I should go? Hmmmmmm

I have a 21 year-old Honda Accord SV4 current at km250k. It is now my spare car and I hardly use it ~300km/month. How often should I change the Lub and how do I minimise the maintenance service? Thanks in advance.

go for something like amsoil XL/signature series, and change the oil filter every 6 month and full drain (and oil filter) on the second 6 month aka 1 year.

consider reading up the first page for more info and even check out some of the used oil analysis i've done before to PROVE that EO can potentially last 40k km/1 year intervals.

Using Kendall Gt1.

Not bad this engine oil.

Feralee dude! You should know better than to give undescriptive posts laaaa.. tell what is so great about it la.

Under RM100. Price around RM9x for 4 quarts (semi)

Engine feel lighter & more responsive. That was tested on SAGA FLX.

Nex will change on my BT & Iswara - currently on LM & Castrol Magnetec

can consider something like on page 2?

the purpose of this thread after all is to bring back the long lost technical talk sub forum, as well as to eliminate vague feedback/responses that doesn't help much.

sure it feels lighter, but how light?
and for *most* people, wouldn't that be the natural thing right after an oil change?
could it be placebo? or just the fact that your previous oil degraded and changing fresh engine oil restored performance/response?

Exactly. After an oil change it'll definitely feel light.

that's no longer the case for me ever since i started this (the thread, passionate about car, lubricants etc)

oil change has got to be among the most boring thing unless i am changing (mainly upgrading) brand/models/viscosity as the oil i drain out didn't degrade hence i no longer get that "oil change everything feels lighter/more responsive" feel any more

Planning to try Liqui Moly engine oil after my warranty expire for my Proton Inspira.. anyone have any experience using the semi / fully synthetic liqui moly on inspira..

still considering whether to use semi / fully .. been using fully synthetic shell all this while .. but thinking to change to semi to cut cost

no reason to change semi when reputable/good fully synthetics aren't much more expensive compared to semi and you can have at least 10k km/6 month OCI

Yeap.. thanks.. already done with Liqui moly 5w-40

What's the difference between mobil 1 new life 0w-40 and mobil 1 3000 x1 5w-40?

Please provide data sheet. If you can Google voa/uoa that would be perfect (Mobil is a mainstream Eo after all)

Mobil 1 New Life: Mobil 1

Mobil Super 3000 : Mobil Super 3000

Both are full syn EO. Both were on offer at my place and the mobil 1 new life is more expensive by RM20 lol

3000 looks like old/sub par product.
afaik mobil 1 has always been the top of the line.

US seems to have different product as well:

Thanks for the heads up bro. Snatched mobil 1 new life for RM149 4L pack.

Any recommended oil for my honda city 2009. Thinking of skipping official SC maintenance.

That's cheap. From Tesco I assume? That's Europe blend. Monitor your oil quality and feel and keep the OCI below 8k. It most likely won't be able to last 10k.


And void warranty? Why would you want to risk that? Honda parts aren't cheap
