Use 30 if your car is new. Cause the thick oil of the 40 in long run will be higher chance to clog up the engine oil sump.

QUOTE(jlkh760830 @ Aug 7 2021, 08:09 PM) Yes, partly because the engine are 90s technology, and because this engine came with turbo,, need to take extra care about turbine .. since the turbine also works with engine oil.. Thanks for sharing. Good information on oil usage. Just wondering, what sort of difference do you see when using 5w40 vs 0w40? Like Sleepless said, the W does not affect us in our climate. However, I do think it has some sort of difference maybe in terms of addictives or oil quality?And turbine are very hot after the engine runs certain mileage... 0w -40 engine oil ain't cheap,, it's cost me RM 300 -400 per set changing engine oil... But I'm still love the engine, and will be taking extra care... Worthy..  |

QUOTE(jlkh760830 @ Aug 11 2021, 04:40 PM) Using 0w-40 at turbocharger engine is to keep the engine and turbine more longer lifespan. How is 0w-40 more suitable for turbocharger engine and 5w-40 more suitable for NA engine? Both are same viscosity.For 5w-40 or 5w-30, this engine oil are more suitable for NA engine as it's not a high compression engine but instead 90s turbocharger engine are build for higher compression ratio... The rest of driving experience mostly the same ... Only if you those heavy foot driver, advisable fuel with Ron 97, but for normal driver Ron 95 will do the job... The car still functional as normal... |

QUOTE(zeng @ Aug 27 2021, 02:23 PM) You would have better luck in sourcing a good-spec'ed parallel imports A5/B5 5W30 online at Lazada shopee etc from people such as paulhew(?) etc. Paulhew is famous for selling genuine oil. However, there are few comments I read some users compare the oil with ori and said he is selling fake. I also bought from him before, it looks legit. However, to be safe I will continue to use brands that don't have fake. Like Mizu is proven good and cheap. Or few other brands like Aisin and EXNII.Having said that Giant and Shell stations have quality HX8 X 5W30 in A3B4 MB229.5 . It is not an A5/B5 though. Note: I have no interest with paulhew btw. zeng liked this post
