Eh Albert? Or someone else? What username specifically?

alcyon, i guess should be him

Eh somehow no impression of that guy. Let me look it up. Thanks

Yep, I'm here. Zeng, thanks for the notification, i have not been on BITOG for quite some time, and here as well. too many hobbies.

Would have expected no less for someone doing UOA on an Iswara

I featured your report in my pinned thread as well btw

I am iriz owner that using syntium 7000.previously using shell helix ultra. Found syntium 7000 perform better.

Hi Alcyon,
there is another fellow Malaysian newly onboard Bitog yesterday.....

I am now trying PENNZOIL SAE 30 straight weight made in USA, bought from ACE hardware, and its really good. Its a group II mineral oil, very good reviews on BITOG.

Does this Pennzoil SAE 30 comes with ACEA A3/B4 specs ?
If yes, I would give it a try in mine ......as I believe a VII-free monograde is the way to go here.
Our weather doesn't really require multigrades ....
as it shears in engine operation depending on quality of Viscosity Index Improvers in use ......thus loosing viscosity,
no wonder my Wira 4G15 on 10W30 was consuming engine oils in those good old days.

No, its only API SN, but i believe you dont need ACEA A3/B4. ACEA A3/B4 is basically setting HTHS min as 3.5, and TBN of 10 and above.It has a HTHS of 3.55 which is very good, and as you said no VII. The fuel economy does take a bit of a hit, but if it protects my engine better, why not ? i estimate the TBN is somewhere around 8 (based on other PYB)which is good enough for 10000km run. Besides, the higher the TBN, the lower the lubricity.
Already run 3000km with it so far and now only starting to darken. I will send UOA sample when the time comes. There are older stocks in ACE hardware with the black label of this oil, which is API SJ i think, that means prolly has higher zinc and phosphorous. You only need 3 1/2 bottles.
Now getting about 450km per tank of RON 95 with mixed 50/50 city highway driving. I also find this oil cools the engine very well, as seen by my oil temp and pressure gauges.

Is it?
Against which brand of xW40?


Not sure if I understand your point here. Care to elaborate further?


That's very interesting.
Mind sharing the comparative readings on oil temp and pressures.

Interesting link and info bro :thumbsup:

If you don't mind, do help contribute on my thread (which I've featured your previous UOA as well) here as well please

Zeng, that was discussed on BITOG about the TBN. I will try to find the link for you.
The FE is compared against shell helix ultra, i can easily get 500km per tank or close to it with SHU 5W-40, so i suspect most of the higher fuel consumption on SAE30 is from startup viscosity. lets continue talking on the other thread as Quaza suggested.

I'm getting 420-440 km on 15W40 A3B4 in carb' 4G15 ....... sigh..

Edit: It's HDEO diesel oil

Not so bad at all actually. Try the SAE30 next time.

Just got free Petronas 800 Synthetic blend or semi Synthetic oil free after playing 1 games at petronas booth, Klcc.

It is good or ok oil?

10w-40

You wont go wrong with PETRONAS oil, especially semi synthetic and onwards. Dapat free, pakai jer . If its Platinum oil, HARDEX, MAZ LUB, Jetron then i'd be worried.

Wah, Petronas so good? Never thought that local brand could be so good... Haha
