Hi guys, my friend bought this 4L Castrol engine oil, but the packaging is different compared to other Castrol products. I tried searching for this particular oil but cant find any matches. Was my friend cheated or something?

If it's a Tection series oil, wouldn't the packaging say so in big words like the rest of their products?

Hi guys, if I'm not wrong there used to be a thread or something where we compiled a list of engine oil brand / specs / price. Or maybe I have mixed up with tire comparisons?

Anyway I'm getting my Wira 1.5 (done 170k now) serviced on my own for the first time (daddy used to do it ), I found this brand called 77 Lubricants from Netherlands. Semi-syn is about RM90/4L. Anyone used this before?

Well they claim to be independent, so....

But anyways after going through my Wira's service history, I found that for the past 2 years / 60000km, the car has been using mineral oil (mainly NASA/Winston 20w-50) and only replaced at every 10000km

The engine feels just fine and there's no oil consumption (touch wood!) but surely something isnt right with this practice?

Managed to find back the service record book and it indeed recommended oil change at every 10,000km, but only mentioned to use grade SE or higher.

got it. thanks

My 15 y.o Wira doesn't use a single drop in city driving, but when balik kampong to Perak it dropped by half

Tesco started selling 5L Shell HX7 semi syn again!

But there is a sticker saying it's imported and distributed by a third party supplier. Should we be concerned?

Hi everyone

I had my oil change yesterday. The shop overfilled my E/O. I argued with them but they wouldnt take it out, insisting it is the correct amount (Wira 1.5, they filled until the dipstick MAX word)

I've let out the excess oil and keeping it separately in an old EO bottle I have.

Since the oil had already been used a bit (about 30 mins city driving, 10~15km), is it still worth to keep it until next year since the oxidation has already started? The oil is already darkened from driving. My oil change is annual and it doesnt consume oil if driven gently.

Is anybody here a regular buyer of engine oil from online/shopee/lazada?

Noted that some shops and customer reviews show the authentic hologram, which should suggest the seller & products are genuine?

That's why they're partners with 8 time formula one world champions

Hi Quazacolt, have you been able to confirm if this hypothesis is true? Or if you've found out some other reason why conti cars can have longer OCIs than japanese cars
