Hello,

Is it true that:
- fully synthetic for new engines (less than 2 years)
- semi synthetic for 2-10 years
- mineral for older than 10 years?

Been using Eneos semi synthetic 10-40 for my Altezza (1998).

Contemplating to try Giant's Shell full synthetic engine oil for some time.

Advices are appreciated.

Thank you😁

from the bottle it states "dexos 2 approved".
I can't find its name here.

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  then they'll find you via whatsapp/fb/IG/ whatever channel 

Guys,

Ravenol oil in Malaysia - Any fake oil nonsense ? Kindly advise ? Currently on Shell 5W-40 ( Fully Synthetic )
ANy one here uses Ravenol oil here ? All ok ? Any problem ?
Thanks.

It is always good to follow car manufacturer manual as a baseline and also depends on usage pattern like city driving or every outstation on high rev etc.
Generally, my regular mechanic recommends to use fully-synthetic for new car (<100K mileage) or semi-synthetic (>100K mileage) - brand is a personal preference.

I have a Honda Civic FD 2007 (>200K mileage) using Liqui Moly MoS2 10W-40 semi-synthetic as used fully-synthetic and experienced oil level drop after 3-months due to high mileage car etc.
My other car (40K+ mileage) using fully-synthetic 5W-30 as newer car and reasonable viscosity for Malaysian weather.

Whichever brand chosen, it is always recommended to change engine oil at regular 6-months / 7K km (semi) / 10K km (fully) interval or earlier and safest to stick with global top oil brands.
I am considering to next try KIXX G1 SP fully synthetic due to its engine protection, value for money and also meets requirement of API SP for today's modern cars with timing chain.

Any feedback on KIXX brand or equivalent?
KIXX G1 API SP engine oil

Shell helix fully when reach 8000km it feels slightly less smooth, meanwhile castrol smooth all the way

Been tested shell helix fully once, then stick to castrol for a long time then lately stick to mizu

if Mizu 0w20, getting Ester Formulated. if taking 0w40 Mizu, AO + ESTER

Say no to oil additive, just the engine oil itself already the best

May i know what car is that?
