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..

If you are keeping the car for more than 9 years...I dont recommend changing it every 10k.
Some info i got with general driving conditions (not include racing and track days) from engine builders and professional modern mechanics are:

1. If you plan to keep your car 5-9 years, its ok to change at 10k km intervals with fully synthetic.
2. If u plan to keep your car over 10 years or over 300k km, change your semi oil every 5000km. If you are fully synthetic change it every 6.5k km.

Generally most car manufacturers recommended specs, they calculated it for cars lifespan around 5-9 years. Business best choice, not best car lifetime choice.

My car i change every 5000km using various fully synthetic. Na engine, k20a type r modded with 260 hp dynoed last year, compression ratio 11.5 (high compression engine).
Now using bold fully 5w40 and used for around 7 cycles now, so far so good. I bought the car second hand with around 210k km mileage and it was having engine oil consumptions around 1L per 5000km initially (max take in oil 4.7L). Now the oil consumption reduced to around 500ml per 5000km with current mileage of 265k km. I think changing the oil more frequently slowly clean the harden sludge around the piston rings.
My driving style quite aggressive and hit redline quite often. Around 40:60 highway:city drive.
I plan to change to another local engine oil brand hipro soon tho. This brand has their own oil manufacturing factory instead of bold without their own factory.

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?

Yeah i cant use yours as mine shld use w30 or 40 only. My engine oil specs quite lenient requiring only SM spec.. as my engine is old tech. More than 20 years old..

Motion brands seems like the typical proxy brand like bold, bolt, mizu... Abit red flag, they are selling motion brand oil filters and osk oil filters at rm5.90 per piece. I dont trust any filters so cheap as its most probably fakes.. my filters i usually buy bosch oil filters.

I bought it at shopee but i think shld be available in lazada too.

Few potential problems.

Anything that is moving might seize up due to corrosion and rust. Example your brakes and rotors.

Fuel pump might seize.

Battery might go flat.

Tires might have flat spots.

Internals like the oil in the piston and cylinder walls might totally become dry. More damage when start up again.

Your car might attract rodents.

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.

Depends on where the oil temperature sensor is i think?
My aftermarket oil temperature sensor is located at the adapter for the oil filter.
Original water temperature sensor Needle starts moving from usual reading when the aftermarket water sensor reaches 108.. so i set my aftermarket water temp sensor to 110C before it starts alarm and 120C for my aftermarket oil temperature sensor.
Usual driving water temp is between 89-93 for my aftermarket water sensor and 99-105 for aftermarket oil temp sensor.

Previously I did engine flushing using kixx engine flush oil for my over 200k km car.
Its easy. Remove old oil, pour in engine flush 3L + 1L engine oil. I have to pour in the engine oil for my dipstick to be over min dipstick level. Idle engine for 20 mins. Remove oil and old filter. Install new filter and pour in fresh oil.

I couldnt feel any difference tho..

Hi yeah it is my bad. I think i mix the values between water temp n oil temp that time. Must be drunk previously.. i have edited my previous post.
