hey guys, need some advise.....after reading your comments....
i am using 10W-40 castrol magnatec......got it from distributor of Castrol after I called into Castrol headquarters.....they gave me address of their distributor in Taman Sea or is it Paramount in PJ.......so this to minimize my chances of getting fake oil..........
just wondering if this is ok for my car.....its kia carens II......its a mini mpv I would say........my driving style can be considered non-spirited......RPM only goes to 2k or 3k before the car changes gear......mostly 2k+.......
i only rev it till 4k or 5k when cutting car using trunk road or going uphill like genting.......
so....just wondering if I should go for petronas fully synthetic of 10W-30 or 5W-30......or should I maintain at 10W-40........
using 10W-40 i change the oil every 5K-6K interval....
my mechanic says if I use the 10W-30 or 5W-30 petronas can change at 10k.........
so...which oild should I go for and change at which interval......thanks....
Refer to Ulet's post. If engine consume the thinner oil, just change to thicker oil la.

i wonder, if you change the oil at 10k, what about the oil filter? thought oil filter is recommended to change at 5k
Oil line has some kind of stop valve- you can change filter without draining out the oil, oil won't come out one - most people do this. After changing the filter, just top up the oil by 150-200ml to refill the new filter with oil.
And some oil filters rated to last very long mileage - 20k km like my Savvy original oil filter.
