Hi BZT,
Absence of centre zone perimeter ring, which is good news and quite expected for a 1500 km oil.
There is a lot of life left, and may be take another blotter spot test at 3000 - 5000 km from now and evaluate.
Btw, what's the oil type and viscosity grade ?

Thanks, BZT.
This is probably SN only.
Magnatec 10W40 with SL and A3B4 used to be available from Tesco/Aeon Big, but no more now.

Hi Zeng,
Which is a better EO to use for my ride ? Is SL higher than SN ? My EO I got it from the workshop and it is locally made. Thanks in advance.

HI, Zeng,
I previously used Total but can't find them in Tesco anymore which I used them for a year plus without any oil change. As for Castrol, workshop sold me for RM145.
