Boss - you drive a acv30 2.4 or acv31 2.0 camry? Makan minyak hitam yet?
Which year / mileage?

I had acv31 2.0 year 2005, had been running Tesco Shell Helix ultra 5w40 since I bought the car at 170+k 10 years ago. Before that the car was UMW maintained.
Now the car is at 340k. Consume engine oil slightly.
My mileage is not high these days, and I had just finish my stash of Shell Ultra, so switch over to vrp 5w30. Let's see what happen next...

Is it true that all Lotus / Tesco no longer have Shell Ultra EO on sale anymore? I really miss tesco engine oil sales offer...

Im similar like you regarding the oil viscosity of 0w20, my car manual mentioned that, and no issues whatsoever from new till now, 250k km. Always heard this oil will had eating issues whatsoever above 150k km, but from my usage of oil change every 10k km (sometimes 12k km cz busy outstation), oil remain at max level for service.

Rather spend more for oil brand that come with Ester based formulated or PAO + Ester

Curious to know what brand and range of oil that you used?

pretty good that till 250k km mileage, there is no engine oil reduction....pretty good piston ring biggrin.gif

Giant got the shell helix ultra 5w40. I seldom go now unlike last time weekly. I did notice it earlier or the month though. But not as frequent sales. Maybe also because I don’t monitor it anymore.

Im still testing mode with this brand and use their fully synthetic oil for my kapchai so far. Generally cheaper than another oil, Mizu, and work ok so far (no weird noise etc).
