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 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.

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.

Bought Bold 10w-40 fully synthetic for motorcycle, 1L packaging. Rm11+ per pc for 11.11 offer, and usually bought 3-5 pcs.

So due to cheap price + fully synthetic oil, change the oil at 2.5k km. That last change at internal, the oil was dark. Current mileage at 53k km

Comparable to shell advance ultra, can't really find any difference. The mapetrol u using is fully syn with Ester? Really gooding?
Bike manual say 2k, but I have been implementing 4k for few years already, so far ok je laugh.gif

Its ok la, just a cheap kapcai. Worst case if rosak just throw away.

Previously the very old bike was take care for service but use workshop oil, most of time use mineral. One time when change the oil, oil was eaten a lot and mechanic told please standby.

A month after the engine died and send for overhaul. Then stick to 2k km interval change + fully synthetic shopee oil. Either Mizu or lately Bold cz price

Even so...better follow manufacturers recommendations le.
Also kapcai cruising at 110h is already like top speed already. Better cruise at 60kmh for kapcai to not stress the engine.

110cc at 110kmh, cz highway. Fully synthetic oil then for protection
