Hi, currently driving Civic FD2 2009. Mileage 160k. Always been using Xw40 and currently on Mobil1 Gold 0w40. Planning to switch to Royal Purple 5w30. Would there be any issues?
Also where to find RP in shops cos I can only find on Shopee atm? RM50 per quart on Shopee. |

QUOTE(prescott2006 @ Mar 23 2021, 01:48 PM) Hi, what is the best oil for a 2015 Mazda 3 with mileage 88k? Any reputable oil brand with the manufacturer recommended weight will be fine.I think for your car its xW20/30. Nothing higher as its a newer engine. |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Mar 28 2021, 12:57 AM) I might try Penrite HPR or Ester type if I can get them no more than rm70/ltr. Why not Royal Purple tho?Dominator maybe not unless I am feeling generous cuz it's damn expensive at rm90/ltr. Royal Purple I am never interested. |

QUOTE(prescott2006 @ May 13 2022, 10:23 AM) What engine oil should I use for my 2015 Mazda 3? Mileage 108k. IINM Mazda uses w30 oil. If you've been servicing it at regular intervals, you can stick to that weight. |

QUOTE(steevan1000 @ Oct 4 2022, 12:01 PM) i'm driving a 2009 manual myvi This looks kinda high but perhaps not as uncommon due to your vehicle's mileage/age.total mileage is over 200,000 km currently RM 50 of RON95 can run for average 240km is this fuel consumption normal? do i need to get some fuel system / engine cleaning service? or just buy some injector / fuel cleaner addictive will get the job done? For context my 2010 FD2 goes for about 220-270km on RM50 depending on my routes (more highway/internal roads etc.) To answer, perhaps more TLC for your ride? Check your spark plugs and air filter. Flushing may not be advised depending on the EOs you've been using and your OCIs but you could invest in a better EO. Fuel Injection cleaner is a safe bet and definite yes but manage your expectations in terms of how much it can solve. |
