no fragile la, just too many electronics.

engine oil mainly for reduce engine friction, lubricate internal parts, oil pressure to activate those vtec solenoid, cleaning the combustion chamber. so the viscosity of the oil affects all the factors above.

tldr, thicker engine oil better in protect the engine but due to the thickness it affects power and fuel efficiency.vice versa for thinner oil.

so generally, the lower the first figure and the higher the second figure of the viscosity value works best in malaysia.

viscosity will change due to the temperature and oxidization. so if u use too long milage and no change engine oil, the engine oil will become "watery" and not so effective to lubricate your internal engine parts and less protective from the friction. not to mention, it does affect all your oil seal in your engine and might cause leaking in long run.

so my advice, change engine oil more frequent better than change expensive engine oil but use for long milage.

which lexus oil are you referring too? the one i bought at lazada is a fully synthetic oil.

The interval for service is 10k.

if fully means how?



diff country origin? no idea..but cheaper


i see

i noticed banyak of my favorite store, once free shipping now no more free shipping liao

ayam lookint at you, CSM

The next day Lazada first page starts selling all engine oil.

RM15 engine oil, then follow by sorry voucher.

someone was saying its from UAE sort of like fake or lower quality oil.
that day the RM15 flash sale ones, now RM65 normal price at lazada.

u bought it from?

check the rating, not only the name. "S" for spark plug a.k.a. gasoline engines, while "C" for compressed a.k.a. diese engines

if manual say minimum SL, then SM, SN also can. if HDEO saw API CJ/SL, then can use on car with minimum SL requirements. can also check ACEA and all but thats a bit too deep into discussion

i use HDEO on my bike as it has Allison C-4 for wet clutch and also meets S requirement and CI, which is suggested for use in high rpm like motorbike. i buy 7 pack for RM90, do oil change myself, so get around RM14 per change. change every 2 months, tahan for 1 year. also hdeo have more detergents, cleaner insides

okay thats all. haha

fuuuuuuu i cant even understand

😂

hmm..i believed no one use motorcycle here..

Thats explained "hexane" nickname lol

Finally found someone who talk about API grade and ACEA, which is very important

API newest Grade = FA with HTHS Technology

Newer generation Engine trend now = Low Viscosity, eg. 0W20, Save Fuel, for Both Pertol & Diesel.

Better to use Lower Viscosity Oil and Fully Synthetic Base, Oil Pumped faster to your Engine

Fully not sure. But every time I change they give me 5-30
Ya. That is from Tesco and cheaper a lot

Thanks for the information.
Template thread in coming.
I can't understand even i read it for a few times.

that explains Hexane
haha!
yeah, typhically there's a few HDEO brands that can fit into almost all engine.
even Myvi, Alza also can use it.

just make it easy for you to remember. (in malaysia context)

the lower w the easier to start engine. the number behind, the higher the better to protect engine, the lower the better power and fuel consumption.

for old tech engine can, just engine feel more heavy.
for those variable valve timing engine better don't lo, solenoid need certain oil pressuare to activate.

i suggest 4-5k if u always drive under high temperature (like noon, jam or high rev), malaysia air not nice too, engine oil easier gets dirty.

i don't understand why got those myth says that mineral 5k, semi 7-8k, fully 10k to change engine oil. remember, here is malaysia, the climate and air not so good nia...

i had been working part time in garage many years ago and i know. want engine clean? use ngv. i ever tried changing engine oil for teksi using ngv only. super clean even after 5k km.

yup.

i believe the Rm15 was a mistake (maybe they intended for rm51).

i am currently using those, and there is no problem whatsoever.

Based from my observation, i truly believe this is a genuine synthetic oil (no burnt smell and performed well).

Well, for the allegations, many people has reason to make false claims . For instance, mechanic or auto parts dealer, If you keep buying oil at cheaper price elsewhere, how they gonna make a living?

this is a definitely split opinion.
as Hexane explains, you just need to know your engine, and what it requires.
Old Saga use HDEO, smoother and quiter. Depends on API/SAE too.
i recommend Castrol A5, Thailand mari...

beware of fake oil.
rebottled fake engine oil does hurt your pocket at the end.
maybe you can recommend wacky from whom you bought the previous engine oil.

buy car engine oil and car battery from lazada
all fake one or real?
