Hi Bro,
at 4322 km , this Bardahl MXP FS 5W40 shows very light grey in 'outer' zones as there is absence of centre zone.
Outermost zones indicates certain fuel dilution or regular cold short trips.
Good serviceable used oil still with a lot of life in it, I suppose.
I personally won't replace this oil anytime soon though.

Hi zeng,
Thank you the comments. Seem like this oil is decent. Mechanic recommends the mainstream brands though.

Usually change oil at 7000 to 8000km intervals. Shortened the interval (from 10000km) coz oil loss (about 1L, top up from min to max) around 5000 to 6000km mileage. Yearly mileage approximately 9000km.
