QUOTE(bananabread @ Sep 27 2015, 10:41 PM) Im using eneos 5-40w. Formulated in japan - so called lar. After use ok ok. Mechanic says can last 10k km but I doubt. Im alwaya on the road when working. So decided to change after 7000 - 8000km. Eneos is a good oil, I've used up to 10k km and no problems whatsoever.

QUOTE(kkk8787 @ Sep 26 2015, 10:31 AM) My dad used to own esso stations in the 80s... He said even back then fake engine oils were rampant..basically ppl will just collect old ones and go through filtration process and refill into new bottles.. if u own garages and so on u dun even need to worry to seal it properly..jus go into your garage, while walking out just pretend to open the bottle like u broke the seal d, when customer look at the bottle it is genuine bottle that has been used again and again. He advice me dun go to normal under tree workshop a lot are fakes. He said better service centers or he himself still buying from petrol stations.. But I know a lot of ppl are buying from supermarkets are those genuine i go service centre, use petronas formulated engine oil. why need to buy at supermarkets ? my experience Bardahl brand ( its either fake / poor performance ), not up to standard.

QUOTE(bananabread @ Sep 28 2015, 11:18 PM)  Eneos sell over rm200 That's actually very similar to the Mitsubishi Eneos oil I bought, exactly the same viscosity and API grade and same bottle shape, just different label and bottle color. That's why I never want to buy oil at normal workshops anymore.

QUOTE(bananabread @ Sep 28 2015, 11:36 PM) How about castrol ? FS oil really that price? I have no idea... Seldom use Castrol because also not often on promotion, but sometimes got promo in Tesco. FS oil actually got a few grades. The higher end ones like Motul, HKS, Amsoil, Liqui Moly etc2 are all >rm200. Then there are the normal ones which can be <rm150 when on promotion (but their normal prices are also >rm200). Eneos also makes higher end and normal ones. For me, driving just normal cars, I don't see the need to spend money using such expensive oils when I can get still good enough quality trusted oils at much cheaper prices in those supermarkets. Of course if you ask those shops where you bought the oils at normal/expensive prices, they'd say the oils in the supermarkets are fake la, low quality la, not suitable for Malaysia spec/climate la, etc2 typical whatever bullshit coz they just cannot sell at such low prices.  Unfortunately some consumers do believe those BS and hence keep throwing money away at those shops.
