If not mistaken around 3 yrs. I think if you buy and use immediately should still be ok, just don't buy to keep in stock again.

CMIIW though from oil sifus here.

Omg 3years from the date printed. I though it might be 5 years from the date printed.
Just bought 5 cartons. Can not tahan with the discount and with additional Rm10 voucher.

If anyone were to buy the EO, please pay separately at the customer service counter to enjoy the Rm10 voucher.
If you were to pay together with your groceries you will only get the Rm5 voucher

If sealed and stored in a cool dry area, those oils have 5 years shelf life no problem. But I wouldn't keep it that long in our super hot and humid weather. Maybe at most 3.

5 cartons? So 400+ only for 20 bottles of 1Quart 5W40 FS? That's quite cheap.
*
Thanks izzo. Yeah very cheap imo. With additional Rm40 voucher. Selling like hot cakes

store in cool dry place away from sunlight in it's original sealed contained.

Thanks. Good to know it can last longer with proper storage. Otherwise need to use as flush.
Any sifu can enlighten us on the need to flush with cheaper EO before using better grades of EO of your choice.

5w30 oil is pretty "Thin".

Oil cars ( >5 years ) would have worn pistons.

So not recommended to use . Use for Newer cars please.

Ordinary Mineral Oil is sufficient. Add Additives if you so desire for more protection.

When to Aeon Klang....... NO SUCH SALE !!!  cry.gif  cry.gif
..............................................

Saw they have introduce their own Motor Oil ..."Top Value " Brand. Synthetic Oil at Rm 113 / ? per bottle (4 litres).

Anyone tried it yet ??? sweat.gif  sweat.gif

The main reason to use FS EO is to have a longer drain interval. Currently Changing oil around 10 weeks.
The engine has no leak or require any top up of EO. So should be good to go?
Wow... The top value EO was price Rm99 just last week here at 1U. They must have a very good response to their topvalue EO for them to justify the huge increase in the price

Guys, I'm thinking of Diy EO, using conventional/mineral oil for >10 years old car.

Requirement:
Genuine, Availability to purchase at most shop, better specs, and cheaper or moderately price ~Rm50-Rm60.
Grade 5W-30, 10W-30, 5W-40, 10W-40.

What do you guys recommend?
Will change EO ~5000Km. Advisable for conventional/mineral EO?

Ahhh. Let me rephrase. Any recommendations for a good conventional/mineral EO within the budget of ~Rm50-Rm60 for 4Liters
Kesian my wallet.

My 9 years old car still with recommend 0w20 up until now. I believe its your old mechanic who told need to put thicker EO for old engine?
*
Nope mechanic didn't recommend.
As most engine can tolerate a slight different viscosity and by giving a few different grade, it's easier for all sifu that have brought and used the EO to recommend.

Went to Lotus previously but no luck.
Where do you normally purchased yours?
QUOTE(Gargamel_gibson @ Jun 9 2023, 04:17 PM)
Shopee Bold/Mizu serious answer. Get FS since so cheap
They are really certified so at least better than buy outside get fake oil.
Or wait for Lotus sales.

Thanks, Will look into both of the oils.

I am quoting based on your usage and car only. Myvi engine is low stressed car. No worries about LSPI or turbocharging. As you use in city area with I presume short trips, start up wear is more important than high heat high loads (track/top-speed use). Myvi has timing chain but never heard of any wear issues. Your mileage is still low so using 30 weight oil is preferable.

I would suggest following options:

Option 1- Mobil Super 1000 10W-30 API SP
Price exceed your budget slightly.

Mineral oil with TBN 7.5
Most Important is: 65% better engine wear protection^ in Sequence IVB
Sos: https://www.mobil.com/en-my/passenger-vehic...per-1000-10w-30

Petronas Syntium Cooltech claims 37.8% only wear protection.
If Mizu and Bold cannot state their test results. I assume they just pass only. There is a difference between getting C; versus getting A+ in exams. Who would you hire to work for you?

Nothing wrong with Mizu & Bold, but they blend to a price point and performance only. I have yet to seen any published reports showing Mizu and Bold having molybdenum in their oils, but Mobil Super range has. Moly is not that important for your myvi, but it is important for my vehicles

Make sure to get genuine So far I only see paulhew on shopee have genuine product. Or you can buy direct from Mobilub but probably more expensive

Option 2 - Shell Helix from Tesco / Giant
Running Fully Syn but extending oil change interval to 10000km. But you have to be careful on your usage whether it is facing oil dilution or condensation due to short trips usage

Option 3 - Diesel Oil in Bulk
This is I run on my low cost low stressed petrol cars. I have a fleet of diesel cars so I use diesel oils that come in pails/drums ie. Delo 400 MGX or Shell Rimula R4X 15W-40. They all share the same oil because I am lazy to keep inventory. I am not going to debate about petrol oils vs diesel oils.

For you, I would recommend Option 1, less headache Use genuine oil filter too
*
Appreciate your advise. Good insight.
Yeah, for a 10 years old car that just clock ~150K, can consider as mid life. 😃

Previously was using various brand of FS oil for ~10K on city drive and if I travel more for outstation (~15K - 20K) before I change the EO.

Will go for option 1 or 2, Need to check on the avaliability of EO when it's needed and the pricing.
