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.

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

When I owned Nissan X-Trail last time the service was always semi-syn for every 10k. It is just recently the car become fully syn for every 10k. Used my X-Trail for around 15 years without need to top-up engine oil or anything

Nissan cars are very durable. My car 2 years no service also no issue

why do you still want to go back tan chong for normal servicing?

Peace of mind knowing they will use original parts

And last time when servicing outside workshop, the parts and labour is actually more expensive than tan chong.

Tan chong fully synthetic liquimoly RM120
outside workshop own house brand semi synthetic RM180

I always thought service outside cheaper, but turns out opposite is true

Bro, Tan Chong using LiquiMoly engine oil?

Last time saw the returned engine oil bottle got small liquiMoly logo at the back. I would assume they use liquimoly then stick their own logo on the bottle.
