I haven’t use mizu yet but I notice the price increased. Last year was rm53-55 for 4l fully syn. Now is rm68 already which is quite near to Giant/Tesco Shell fully syn. Must be high in demand that can increase price.

Cause now Mizu already famous. I think it's number 1 selling brand in Shopee/Lazada. They have upgraded their oil to PAO+Ester. Not sure how true is that cause even with PAO+Ester base oil, it is not cheap. Some one need to review their new formula with more scrutiny.

Nope, switched to Kaito engine oil, also from lazada

Mizu too thin, after 5k, engine noise loud n rough
Kaito I used 2 yrs +, 2 cars, smooth upto 9-10k
But slight high price rm75

Very very few people in Malaysia would want to spend money to do engine oil analysis.
And due to this, oil makers can claim whatever they want. Does the oil really contain PAO/ESTER? No one bothers. Janji murah.

Now Mizu not Murah d lo since it upgraded to Sp API rating now cost 76+- in shoppee... Shell in Tesco only 99+-.... Who will go for Mizu when only 20+- more for shell.. but well if their point is cheap why go for Dao and ester to make it more expensive.... Maybe the company is really growing lol

in my case the shell tesco only 5w40 and 5w30. Mizu got 0w20, API SP, Shopee mall, seems best bang for the money. And they also got 1L bottle for users with car that need more than 4L

You should had ordered 5w30 instead.
There is no difference when changing from 15w40 to 5w40.
Only in cold start the oil is "thinner" than the Hx5.

Underpower is related to something else, not the lubricant itself.
Engine oil does not magically turn your Vios into a 2.0 Camry.
