fast reply hehe!

i am looking at Torco SR-1R 10W-40, cos my engine overhauled once (cos 1st owner sucked at maintaining), should i go for lower grade? 30s? 5W or 10W dont really make a diff right? i change at 10k when i use fully syn?

motul, used by proton's R3 team as well correct? too expensive for RM340 >.< I am looking at 200++ ranges

for amsoil, erm malaysia's proton filter kenot last that long, so using so long good meh? lazy go to mechanic as them replace oil filter nia, sure he oso tulan.

Tried and tested Motul H Tech 100 + , honestly there is nothing to shout about where it degrades right after 4k km and engine is terribly rough after that.

Try and use Idemitsu fully synthetic 5w30, Syntium 5000 0w30, Total Quartz 9000 5w30 or Torco SR-1 5w30.

As for me even if i use fully syn oils, my OCI are always 5000km/3 months or maximum 7000km/5 months. Not anything longer than that.

Fyi, Proton oil filter is not that bad in terms of their quality. And usually thinner oil provides better overall lubrication and since you do not redline 24/7, there is no reason to use thicker oil. Just my dua cents biggrin.gif

hmm okies thanks! i have placed an order for sr-1 for now..

just wondering, u r using neo w r3 extractor but u sold off your 1.5 myvi for it? before i bought my neo cps i was looking at 1.5 myvi manual is it that bad?

so what oil are you using currently?
*
no probs! smile.gif i'm still using stock extractor tho, only change the r3 muffler and previously was driving myvi 1.5 auto as it was family car. I would say myvi has better response due to the "drive by cable" setup as compared to drive by wire. But handling and top speed, myvi no match hahah.

Now currently on syntium 5000 0w30 by proton sc so far so thumbup.gif and how about you? currently driving at or mt neo?

i do agree that the motul h tech 100 plus is nothing to shout about. (not much difference in smoothness/performance whatsoever)
however i do disagree that it degrades after 4k km as i've done OCI of 12-16k km with motul h tech 100 plus without any form of degradation whereas SR1 would lose it's "performance characteristics" around 12k-14k km (iinm, have to dig back on my old review/feedback)
no engine roughness at all, and the internals are pretty much sparkling clean/mirror shine as before. laugh.gif

fully syn going such short oci is a thing of the past bro.
i've done really crazy red lines/fuel cuts (feel free to dig my youtube videos) and yet my UOA report turns out that my amsoil 0w20 i drained out is even fresher than BRAND NEW engine oil after around 7 months and 8500km (higher calcium/TBN than other manufacturers virgin oil)

and yes, i am an advocate of thinner lubricants regardless of usage.
even most manufacturers (like honda, ford) are pushing the SAE to officialize 0w16

Sorry for double posting, didn't saw it earlier. Well to be frank, i've used my myvi as a lab rat before for long OCI (8k km mileage around 6 months) on fully syn oils and the outcome wasn't that great.

There's actually alot of factor to be taken into consideration such as start stop traffics, traffic jams, long idling, redlining and so on which is why for me particularly i rather be on the safe side for now. But i believe that everyone has their own way of maintaining their vehicle where there is no right or wrong icon_rolleyes.gif

As for me, oil is much cheaper as compared to spare parts/overhauling lol

yeepie, another manual kaki biggrin.gif try SR-1 5w30 since your engine is overhauled already.

Extractor can go for R3/Tonnka! save up for it

Tiong Nam at Seapark.. There's a shop which is near the caltex station. It's an authorised Honda spare parts dealer.

Hey there, was just wondering if Honda service centres do not sell engine oils for walk-in customers?

Previously was using mineral oil recommended by service centre which was 5w30.

I always rev hard to 4K to 5 k rpm.

Would it be alright for me to use 0w20 amsoil xl?

And I'm loooking at 15 k OCI for using amsoil

Stick to Honda 0W30 genuine motor oil especially for spirited driving conditions. Anytime better than Amsoil.

I've used Amsoil once and never used since then. Overrated motor oil.
