so far so good la...smooth engine start.
btw my vios is around 15 yo liao.
i bought it due to good review too .as long as the brand come with the API certification . i think should be fine.
i upgraded my plug to denso iridium plug too. what i havent done is to pour in a bottle of engine cleaning oil in my fuel tank.

The problem with thicker oil is fuel consumption and power loss. if TS travels alot, 5% increase in FC can be quite a lot.

yes..this is true...i was using 10w40 Semi syn before changing to 5w30 Full syn because i simply cant find any engine oil on the shelf during cny last year.
suffer power loss and high fuel consumption.
