I wouldnt touch Bold at all. They have no API cert officially, but they dare to put api rating. Suspicious. A big no no.Come i recommend cheap engine oil - mizu, Only semi and fully

QUOTE(ken_hidaibuki @ Dec 27 2021, 04:16 PM) Im using semi syn oil from BOLD. This is my 4th pack. Using in 4g92.. Good for daily use.. Cheaper than mizu.. Well... up to u but i wont risk it since no api rating. Basically nobody knows and monitors what base oil and formulation inside. U know JTX engine oil? At first all also like. Say smooth n what not. Now nobody using because after 1-2 years many engine got problems. When they open saw kerak kerak engine oil. Means the oil losses its life before the change intervals. Again, no api rating. |

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Dec 27 2021, 04:26 PM) Redline fully synthetic, but it wont last because ada banyak ester. Apparently the ester will burn and u losses around 1L for 4000km. But it will protect your engine and your engine wont losses power after touge long long also. Cheap engine oil, once hot u will feel your engine losses power. - i got this from an engine builder, dunno true or not. |

QUOTE(rcracer @ Dec 27 2021, 04:51 PM) no la, oil specification only based on new oil not used oil Of course it went throught vigorous testing already to make sure it can last their service life... Takkan la no test and just gv cert? Crazy meh? These certs damn expensive wei, if it is so loose, what is the point and everybody wont even bat an eye on the certs la.cheap synthetics are cheap for a reason , one of which is, they take a lower viscosity base oil like 20 or 30 and build it up with viscosity modifiers or improvers to make it meet the wanted viscosity but there modifiers get broken down by shearing forces and the longer it's used the thinner the oil gets , the Golden rule always applies, you get what you pay for |

QUOTE(JustForFun @ Dec 27 2021, 06:00 PM) How does the cert work? Do they get checked on their product quality? I have no idea. I just know its strict and expensive. Maybe got spot checks, audits, visits, sample taking etc.Could they have sent a good product for the certification only to sell recycled oil to customers? Just playing devil's advocate here cause I checked the site and it seems dodgy as hell. Actually im willing to partially pay for lab test if someone willing to do it for 10k km in their stock ride. Must be at least 50% city drive. If ktards willing, maybe gather 5 ppl then we split the cost |

QUOTE(wanna be hi-tech @ Jan 17 2022, 03:06 PM) That engine is a monster. If you pour pour palm oil in it and tell it its FS, it will do the job. However current engines + the amount fake engine oils around, its quite a risk to take. Yeah old engines tolerances bigger. Current engines all tight tight tolerances but jimat minyak la.My sr20ve 20v neo vvl using few years tesco shell fs also no problem. |

QUOTE(CrunchyKitkatZ @ Oct 30 2022, 02:16 AM) Another thing to consider is, the cert is just a benchmark, a minimum requirement. Better expensive oil far exceeds that requirement. You get what you pay for. There was this post by a chemist angmo in this forum, give it a read. https://cliosport.net/threads/oil-you-get-w...pay-for.104429/ Daily cars are ok with the min requirement for normal driving and sprinting occasionally. My previous 4age 20v blacktop using tesco fully syn engine oil also ok. Those track cars probably need min requirement a3/b4. @MAN-kun liked this post
