Flushing engine/ services are top like 15-20 years ago, u send car service, 100% they will offer Oil Flushing. But nowadays not much. That's explain all.

Btw why Shell stop produce the 4L bottle oil flushing. That one is better than those 300ml-500ml bottle. For shell one, first drop the old oil, put new oil filter then put the 4L Shell oil flushing for 10-20 minutes without rev.

The engine will look cleaner on inside from oil cover view.

Bold also never prove same legitimacy so both sides got fair arguments

and the universal rule remains, if it's too good to be true it always is, nothing is for free. good thing no cheap, cheap thing no good. unless proven otherwise

I dunno, but crude oil went from 100 per barrel to ~30-40 for a while
maybe that dropped the cost of raw materials, and then so on

good FS through proper channels like Petronas are like 250~330 per 4L and that never changed

later on, start to see US there have rebadged branded oil that sells cheap, I guess the trend came here and start seeing FS oils at half that price, sometimes as low as 90 per 4L

now, 40~50L from a local oil blender/bottler/manufacturer, maybe is not impossible also

I have no proof for company sales calculation etc. But in the US, the engine oil are at affordable price, sure 2 digit prices, and most can get it at Walmart or supermarket. And some seller even import it here for a profit. Here must sell at premium price for fully synthetic oil 4L and most only use semi synthetic at most due to price.

This I thanks Tesco/Jusco/ Giant for selling the Shell Helix Ultra at affordable price. Back then purchased it at rm80 then it getting up to 89, 99, now at about 109-119. I remember when take this Oil, sure got customer take up to 4 bottles cz it just affordable vs paid rm250 at workshop per bottles.

Bold proven, got legit cert registered in api registry. And he doesnt have any prove, so how is it his argument is fair?

How is it too cheap when u know what kind of profit margin they are getting. Its definitely doable, even shell with all the ads can get rm89 for their fs oil.

Correct.. cheap and good HDEO the best 7L change baru 80 bucks

Good job sales back. Been stuck to rm119 or rm129 far too long

What is ur change interval for shell long ride? Bottle mentioned can go up to 6k, possible?

Been ushing shell advance ultra for my kapcai, changing every 4k. Thinking to use long ride to push it to 6k.

Wow. I don't dare push until 4k even. I changed every 3k. The bottle said 6k but with a star saying under specific conditions but they never clarify what are the conditions. Makes me feel Shell doesn't guarantee you can push until 6k. Anyway if you wanna push until 6k, make sure you do it with a new oil filter la. 135LC manual says oil filter only last 2 oil changes or 6k.

Now not using Long Ride anymore. Been testing out various brands sold by VR Global Trading. Mapetrol Premium Power Ester was damn smooth. I will buy it again next round.

lotus ?

Mapetrol so far the best in terms of smoothness?

Ya.

I trust u ni. Gonna buy 2L for my kawasaki ninja 250

let me know later what's your review.

My oil filter memang change every oil change. So far I tested shell advance ultra and casltrol ultimate power 1, both can reach 4k without issue. Looking for other oil to change now to try.

Castrol good? Saw it on VR Global Trading, thinking about trying.


Also my 135LC joined the 100k club already, so I really really don't dare to push EO past 3k anymore.

Yo yo yo! Uncle Jim not SUS anymore! But I guess you malas with this forum already because kena SUS so often?

Wah.. my 15 years old ninja now only at 35k km.
Engine oil inside still using bold only at 2000km pass abit i think. Almost 1 year already, so i thinking of just changing the oil even though low mileage. The bold engine oil still feels smooth though, although i only ride it like 2-3 times a month.
