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.

Cheap and and better than LM staa

Hi sifus,

Read up recently on the GTL process and my car is due for its oil change soon. So wanted to get the helix ultra 0w30 to try it out

Been searching high and low, tesco, aeon, shell stations, i am unable to find such viscosity being sold. 5w40 is common, yet i understand the 0w30 have been launched for some time.

Any idea where i may get it?

Btw, 5w40 pureplus are having promotion @ tesco & shell stations now.

Hi I have some stock for shell helix ect 0w30..RM 200/4l

Would it be correct to say for direct injection engine with a well known carbon buildup issue on the intake, (in my case 4GR-FSE), getting a low NOACK engine oil is crucial to minimize the issue? If that is really the case, any recommended affordable 0W-30 engine oil with low NOACK?

low SAPS oil will reduce , but will not eliminate. However Toyota eliminate the problem with their D4-s systems with work with Like GDI + MPI

salute, you still send the used oil to USA? Have you tried this lab https://alsglobal.com.my/ which can give you faster results. They are located in Shah Alam and Australian own if not mistaken.

Elisa from ALS finally gotten back to me via email
RM300 excluding SST

still fail to match the price of Blackstone labs USA including shipping. oh well hopefully their price doesn't worsen...

or if our RM continues to diarrhea from FOREX and USD, then yeah ALS can start to be a viable option.

tips, ask for package price of 10 test( unlimited time frame) .. the price will reduce .
