Hi, saw u write Paulhew here so i write some review bcos i just bought engine oil from him.

I feel his engine oil is not original, although got code at the front sticker.

1. Smell like used oil from engine and different from original oil smell. Can said is like recycle oil or original mix recycle oil.

2. Color is darker compare to original.

3. Side bottle indicator design is different.

4. Handle of bottle is different.

5. Back of bottle closure is different.

6. Bottle seal is like hard paper, original is foil.

No offence. He sell RM60++, so maybe all cheaper price oil is not original biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Your Helix is with Thai wording at the back of the bottle?

If it is yes, the bottle and also the oil colour and smell might vary from the Helix HX5 'untuk pasaran malaysia' since they are blended and packed from different manufacturers.

I am not sure of engine oil from Thailand uses recycled oil.. But according to some forumers here, European Union mandate the use of recycled engine oil to be blended into new engine oil.

I'd normally for for the 'untuk pasaran malaysia' since in Malaysia, there's no mandate to use recycled engine oil, thus all engine oil base  used in Malaysia should be new and not recycled.

Ya. My back of bottle is Thai wording also.

Understood. Cos i also guessing their oil is mix original and new engine oil. So like got abit red and black color.

Ya. My point is if they are recycle oil, then dont write 100% original oil.

Cos they very confirm is original oil then i only write my review here and sharing to others ppl.

So others ppl can know also. smile.gif smile.gif

I got plan to repair this soon.

Ya, I heard ppl said normally is valves gasket issue.

So if no leaking issue then can use fully synthetic oil?
