QUOTE(ry8128 @ Apr 28 2025, 10:28 PM) Sounds good, then i might try to buy from them. Meaning so far their products are all genuine right? I know they have couple of physical shops in kl, but just want to know more opinion from /k. Yes, really good buy, especially it is fully. But wonder what toyota car using 5-40. Normally most of their cars using 0-20 or 5-30 older toyota car or those like unser avanza ..old tech engine ..will recommend 5w30 and 5w40 new 1 mostly recommend 0w20 if u buy latest toyota crown from japan (hybrid) they even recommend 0w8 ..literally water This post has been edited by fantasy1989: Apr 28 2025, 10:41 PM

QUOTE(ry8128 @ Apr 28 2025, 10:44 PM) Thanks, good info. Just wondering, lets say if a new car is using 0-20 and after 10 years or 200k km mileage, is it still ok to use 0-20? Or better to use slighly higher viscosity like 5-30? Been hearing this many times from mechanic. Fyi, the car manual says 0-20, 5-30 and 0-30 are all suitable for the car. Just that curious is it better to switch from 0-20 to 5-30 once the car aged. as long as no oil leak or engine oil getting lesser after 5k or 10k drive then it's fine to stick to 0w20

QUOTE(zerorating @ Apr 29 2025, 10:15 AM) after 10 years, i will. thicker oil still stick to engine component longer. just make sure to check manufacturer viscosity range. i cant comment on statement saying thinner oil have less friction, personally i feel even 20w50 oil is already thin enough, why need to make it even thinner? why manufacturer hardly recommend thick viscocity oil? that because they want the car to be working well in cold climate, but over here, thats not a concern. a higher multigrade thick oil like 0w40 is alot more expensive. no..because thicker or high viscosity oil will increase overall fuel consumption and you will have more minor wear during cold start because of much slower engine oil circulation from oil pan just like you rotating a wheel with water based lub against thick oil ..u will need more "effort" to rotate a wheel that dip with thick oil This post has been edited by fantasy1989: Apr 29 2025, 10:50 AM

QUOTE(desmond2020 @ Apr 29 2025, 10:51 AM) so if you have lot of long distance trip then it is advisable to use thicker oil this i agree thats why pure city drive car (especially japs car) will goes as low as possible to promote fuel saving and minimal cold start wear whereas big sedan or long distance or heavy usage car they will recommend to 30 or 40 as starting point This post has been edited by fantasy1989: Apr 29 2025, 10:57 AM

QUOTE(zerorating @ Apr 29 2025, 11:10 AM) minor concern only, oil pump pancut very fast in hot climate. thats why oil pressure light very quick to disappear when we start car. that is just oil pressure sensor ..which meant the oil start pumping from oil pan with acceptable pressure/flow but not flow till top n finish circle back to oil pan agree on minor concern ; probably just need to let the engine warm up slight longer like extra 5 10sec and go ; just pointing out the pros n cons of different engine oil ..ultimately this depend on your usage ..no absolute winner This post has been edited by fantasy1989: Apr 29 2025, 12:52 PM
