May i know which high VI oils are you using? How much is it?

Reason why im going hipro oils.
1) A lot of good reviews on they oils especially the motorcycle oils at Bangladesh market. The environment there are even harsher and dustier than here.
2) hipro got organize and sponser races track days with their oils.
3) hipro honest with me so far. I asked them if their maxclyn oil have certain specs that has in the Bangladesh market (example a3 b4 spec), but not written in malaysia market. Hipro told me dont have, and they will inform related parties about it.
4) cheap. Hipro fully maxclyn is only rm62.50. their best is V9 but much more expensive at rm128. Still cheaper than branded fully.

I heard about motion but did not research on it though. U found anythg interesting about this oil?

mobil1 green bottle series...depends on offer, usually less than rm200

syntium 7000 dme - rm170 before shopee vouchers

but those are all thin oils that is not fit for your car 

the motion brand have flagship range that touts pao+ester blend....intrigued me a bit because of the cost of it....more than 200 for 4L.....

on the other hand, thicker oils blended well are by nature less volatile...

i don't pamper the throttle, use manual gear shift all the time, don't drive in a leisurely manner, highway average 140, mixed city/highway...

side note, can search in shopee for Fram Tough Guard oil filter series, same price as mazda original (cheaper with shopee coupons/offers), but i personally think this is better quality as it is rated for higher mileage.

depends on luck, the engine top covers gasket seal isn't the best of quality, so may have a bit of oil leakage over time...mine started leaking since year 2 and i thought it was the usual mild oil consumption and didn't claim warranty. Do get it checked first if you notice got oil consumption. I changed mine 5 years back, the new batch seems to be pretty good, no signs of leaks till now

the engine is pretty tough, i had experience a blown vvt gasket (damn bad luck for me, that the SC said my car was the very first among their many thousand of skyactive series sold) and drove a short period of time under oil starvation, was surprised that no overheating and no oil consumption issue after that incident....

Use cheap api certified fully synthetic oil like Bold fully. Its only like rm55 for 4L..
Always change your oil max 1 year even if u use it very less. Anyway cars that are underutilized like yours will have reduced lifetime..

Is Bold available on Lazada? I've seen some American brands around RM50, will check on API cert.

Can you explain what you mean by reduced time lifetime?

My almera 20k and 2 years did not service still running fine.

Bruh.. its very bad for your car. Very bad.
Sure it can still run, but your engine interval will be very dirty and wear out very fast.

Please read up on engine maintenance.

with city+spirited driving we should be changing oil at 7k km max. especially on modern engines. if the oil temp and pres are within range during high rev driving after 4k old then the current oil should be stable enough. keep monitoring it up to 7k km. most oil(even some expensive ones) breakdown after being driven hard, with high temp making them lose viscosity, plus our high heat weather stretching 30 weight oil thin before 5k old.

Besides from the lub itself, oil filtering system also another concern. Continentals oil filter usually are larger/longer in size compare to Japanese rides thus they can filter the oil at a longer intervals. Japanese cars if you look at most like Honda/Mazda/Toyota all oil filter size almost 50% smaller compare to conti's oil filter, how you expect the oil to last longer in Japs ride?

Ok. Then I better call tan chong to make appointment for servicing

if you're still under warranty period, your warranty cover is absolutely screwed

Just installed lufi meter in my car will need to monitor on my next genting drive. What is the highest oil temp the engine can withstand?Or what is the ideal engine oil temp?
