Quazacolt,

Do you know where to get Low SAPS full syn engine oil in Malaysia?
*
I only know hydrocracked one (synthetic tech, not fully). Try LiquiMoly TopTec 4200, or other TopTec 4000 series. How to get? kakimotor or online order.

Oh ya, this is the part I don't quite get you. I thought the LM STAA is a fully synt oil? I mean, for their MOS2 series, they did label it as Semi Synthetic and Mineral.

IIRC LM STAA price is same or almost same as the Shell Helix Ultra.
*
LM synthetic technology are hydrocracked group 3. Only synthoil (full synthetic) is group 4. And MoS2 won't be API rated as I've asked them.

Thank you for your inquiry from the 03.11.2014 and the interest in our products.

The Leichtlauf High Tech will not come as a 5W-30. If you want to have a 5W-30 with a high ash content, we would recommend you to use the Leichtlauf Special AA 5W-30 (please have a look at your manufacturer specification).

We only mix the 10W-30 and 10W-40 semi-synthetic with the MoS2, because if would do that with ervery oil, we would not get any manufacturer approval.
The car manufacturer don't want to have solid lubricants in the engine oil, because this additive extend the life-time of an engine.
The Oil Additive can be mixed with every conventional engine oil (fully synthetic, semi synthetic, mineral or HC).

We hope we could help you with our informations. Should you have further questions regarding our products we would be very pleased to get contacted from you again.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Maybe just ignore the "because this additive extend the life-time of an engine." part.

But I believe this "The car manufacturer don't want to have solid lubricants in the engine oil" alone is good enough. Perhaps too costly to have a proper test on each and everyone of those solid lub like mos2 or nano ws or whatever.

Hi sifus. Was wondering which type / brand of engine oil should I use for better fc and overall power increase? I'm a kenari ezi 04 owner and has been using shell helix hx5 10w30 for the last couple of oil change. Thinking of trying semi synthetic for a change. Any good recommendations? Budget below RM120. Thx in advance.
*
With that price... I think the closest is Liqui Moly MoS2 10w30 (rm125 ~ rm130).

Motul H-TECH series on Group 3 or Group 4 base stock? Some say it is group 3.

Or which part in Motul website that mention its base stock type?

Wanna ask, is it good to do interval ATF oil change than follow the service book whereby change at 100k mileage?
*
ATF... the max 40k km then change. Better if 20k km. I almost did follow Toyota SC stupid recommendation on 100k km, I felt uneasy and change at 80k km... and it smells terrible and that bright red pinkish ATF WS become like kopi-o.

I notice in the API dir listing, there's this performance category, so far I saw two types: Resource Conserving and Energy Conserving... what's the diff?


p/s: found API SN oil category

Strongly agreed. My mom service car kena kasih NASA oil, previously could reach 150kmph, after that, struggling to even go above 80kmph. Most fcukup oil ever used. Even Shell Helix mineral is better.

Having all else equal, ester based EO cannot be mixed with PAO or mineral based.


PAO or mineral mix is ok still.

where is your basis?

products that have ester+PAO ma all go to hell?

The product wont go to hell, after all many full synthetic have been formulated with percentage of both.

Maybe I should rephrase, rule of thumb, don't mix those full synth that claimed to be 'ester' with others.

Errrr guys... Question here...
I always use my ride for long distance travel and now I have to travel all the way up to Penang.
Does 0w-40 cut it?? I'm afraid the oil too thin d. Plus summore we driving during hot weather on the highway.
Thats very harsh on our engine. I'm looking for an oil that protects really well for the time being. Occasional high-rev weekend ke. 
Car : Satria Neo (NON-CPS)
*
I would say 0w40 or 5w40, having approval on BMW LL-01 and MB229.5 and API SN will be good enough.

1. no, there is no claim that ester cannot be mixed with conventional mineral oil/group 3 or 4 oils.
otherwise you would have to deal with issues switching to/from ester based oils as you cannot possibly fully drain your engine less you decide to rebuild/de-grease it entirely.

2. you're replying to someone driving a proton, why would he need BMW or Mercedes Benz approvals? let's not get over our heads on manufacturer approvals. and hell, if you want to go with manufacturer, stick to your own car's approvals, and that's API for Proton cars.
*
1. Ok. Motul 300v used to have big bold 'note' in their pdf tech sheet not to mix.
2. API SN varies across. I'm no oil guy but AFAIK, API SN but formulated for DPF users I believe won't be that suitable for Campro.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Just that the metal can and Japanese words make me feel bad. Obviously it is trying to give people a premium feel, and to make people believe it is made in Japan (which is not).

Felt like those cheap made-in-china items sold in 5-ringgit shops with japanese wordings and packaging surrounded.
