just read up

you're talking to a guy who sends used oil sample to USA to laboratory analysis.
and i lack the time to explain what's been posted long ago.

Let's see. I use Pennzoil fully syn (RM140) and a Nissan oil filter (RM18). I change every max 6 months, but for the benefit of the doubt I'll go with 4 months. You spend RM50 per month on oil and RM10 on a cheap filter. RM60 per month. In 4 months you'd have spent RM240 almost double of what I would have spent.

And I wasn't harping on about cost, I was talking about time spent doing all that.

But like I said - you have the time and money, good for you lor.
M-oil additives? What are you smoking? Whatever it is I want some!

Quazacolt and I don't condone additives and what the hell is "mugs"? Engine cholesterol? "Deal with carbon contents"? "Reduce viscosity of the engine oil"? Do you have any proof or evidence to backup what you're saying?

Unlike your hearsay, Exxonmobil has spent several million dollars (US) on R&D and they guarantee that their oil viscosity will not change unless it has either broken down due to age/shearing or something else was mixed in. Pennzoil, Motul, all have their own R&D on their products and they are market leaders in the oil industry. They do not simply make oils and claim the world from them.

The purpose of the engine oil is to lubricate full stop. The additives in the oils however help to clean varnish (not your furniture varnish, go read it up), reduce engine oil shearing, keep the oil temperature stable when under pressure and many other things.

Some mineral oils are capable of doing all that but I doubt the detergents in the cheap oil is capable of doing any cleaning. Since you change so often it's possible you never gave the varnish any time to develop and carbon deposits to settle. So that's all good for you but I'd challenge you to do a comparison of your engine internals with someone else who does longer OCI with more expensive fully synthetic oils. If it's the same, you'd just be wasting time and money doing so many frequent oil changes assuming you change prior to the 1k recommended OCI for mineral oils.

Whilst you are not wrong to change the way you do and since you decided to share your method and OCI, people will bound to do comparisons and there'll bound to be differences in opinion. It basically boils down to what I originally said to you :

I work for a company that does this sort of R&D for their oils. What's your point? Your claims are baseless since you have nothing to back it. R&D may not always have positive results - true, but when they do have results at least they have proof to back their claims. Unlike you. Nothing but hearsay.

And I did Google that - nothing? And what the hell is m-oil la? No one here is talking about 3rd party additives. I'm talking about all the additives found in normal engine oil formulations. Royal Purple oils have extremely good detergent additives in their oils, Mobil-1 (malaysia blend) has a lot of anti-shearing additives, etc. If you're saying all these formulated additives are useless, why are you using engine oil? Just pour in pure palm oil la. That will lubricate your engine and has zero additives. There are people in M'sia doing this now and even University Malaya is doing their R&D on using palm oil in as a lubricant.

Or are you just plain confused and don't know what you're talking about?

Rich people have a lot of cars? What are you smoking again? I'm not rich and my household has 5 cars. it's not more efficient to service the car in shorter OCI than my regular 10,000km intervals (I do not follow OCI in months). And my cars do not break down due to "bad road conditions". "Bad road conditions" just accelerate the wear on rubber bushes/suspension parts and possibly damage rims and tyres. I don't live in a jungle or desert that has extreme amounts of particles that might contaminate my oil nor do I travel in flood prone areas. The only time my cars break down is if some dumbass crashes into me. So again - your point is invalid.

And again - what the hell is m-oil additives la? Who said anything about using additives? 

Before you reply - please research the topic a bit more because everything you say seems to be misinformed or just ignorant. Except for the part where you say it's your choice to service your car every month. That's your prerogative and no one can deny you that pointless activity.
