you want return trip for what? results can be emailed

the bottle sent to you foc (foc postage as well)

Direct Malaysia address, they use cheap postage (obviously lol) so no tracking and it could take a while

And considering this, the lab earning is very minimal lol

i also got 5k km to go which i estimate around 2-3 months time.
we can further discuss about this as our mileage approaches to oci.

in fact i already have 1 other guy to tumpang along, i'm fairly certain we can get it down much cheaper.
rates are ~120 including fee/tax etc

so in case we need the extra rm20 for next 500gm, let's take it rm140+ or so... /3 also ~rm46-47
his sample is already ready just waiting on me (and you if you're in)

nice.

i still got 4k km+ in maybe 3-4 months time, don't think can ship along with yours
consider getting some of your friends or have something else like transmission oil to ship along

bear in mind our weather and traffic jams.
Your engine is still running with mileage not clocking when you're stuck in standstill jams.

UOA is the safest way to determine how much longer OCI you can push without harming the engine

Motul 300v 0w20

~RM170-180 ish per 2l, i need 4l so x2 = 340-360/4l

mmg best lo. smells nice also, like perfume.

modern engine oil are designed (remember the wintergrade viscosity?) to withstand extreme cold temperatures (say, -40c) and not to mention shipping only took a mere few days to reach their labs and got it analyzed.

During the journey the sample is completely sealed with multiple "layers" of containers so that leaks (and likewise, moisture/contaminants getting in) do not happen creating a mess for the postal workers.

refer to mine and bro PedangGila posted pictures of test/sample kits with included instructions.
i personally also wrapped the inner container with pvc tape (which blackstone labs also recommend) to further seal it.

yes.

and do consider using the reply function or the tagging function so people can get notification.

not really
getting busier at work and maybe changing job soon.

was just an advice in general (which may or may not apply to me) btw

as low as possible specified by your engine manufacturer specifications.
personally i will got -10 viscosity over manufacturer specifications.

in other words, as hot as our Malaysian weather is, we don't have constant 40 Celsius ambient temperatures which warrants thicker viscosity.
and yes xw30 is thinner than xw40.
i run 0w20 on my inspira and 0w30 on my iswara/kancil/sentra

for further information, please spend time reading the information on first page.

something to read on in regards to WS2 additives:

thanks to forumer nicotine for sharing

the minor + that it *may* have (which is very minimal), is outweighed by the potential corrosion that may come with it.

so yeah with the cons outweigh the pro, it seems not worth it.

It seems like it's base stock got downgraded from group 4 to group 3 (if it's generally hydrocarbon/hydrocracked petroleum base stocks)

however:

so personally i wouldn't be too worried about it.

for what? different stages and keep sending to USA?

and i thought people already call me excessive/crazy for actually doing UOA in the first place.

this?


15k miles is NORMAL

or 1 year whichever first

one year oil change once? quite cheap maintenance

btw compared to amsoil:


a bit weak imho.
