Use fully synthetic anyhow. Semi is just not worth it.
You dunno how many % fully synth mixed with mineral oil. Usually at best 17% only.

If your mileage so low. Just do oil change once a year. Do not stretch it to 2~3 years. You wouldn't know whether the engine oil will become too acidic and corrosive or not when soaking many types of metal in your crankcase. There might be chemical reaction.

actually fully vs semi for me no difference

since your car is low mileage car, just use semi...more economical that way

Any oil grade as recommended in car manual. Nothing fancy needed.

Hi. My honest advice for engine oil please visit local stesen minyak for 100% original... Never ever purchase them in shopee/lazada unless it is from Mall...and never buy in local spare part shop also

Dont want bold. Not dare to use such brands

Engine perfect, very very good condition and quiet. No eat engine oil. Everytime go service, the workshop praise the condition of engine and ask me want sell or not.

Thanks for the info. Seems like makes sense.

My oil i buy online, either from mall or from other trusted sellers. There are few trusted sellers (besides mall) that are selling genuine oil online.

The motion pao ori? Confirm got pao and ester? Many brands declare got such thing but when check in detail the oil component, no such pao/ester in it.

then use fully syn with viscosity as recommended in manual book.

do not use ester based if u not change engine oil frequently.

i remember got ktard mentioned before, ester based oil absorb more moisture, so it's good for those who change engine oil on time.

No idea. I just bought and use hopefully it's real only. It is hijau instead of usual engine oil colour. And they are bold enough to advertise their product liability insurance which gave me some confidence.

I started using this shit on this neglected Wajunk with 220k mileage which I started driving semi-regularly, so far 230k+ already and I haven't noticed any issue.

I think it served me well for something normally priced in range of RM120-150. I think even if there's no actual ester PAO, it wouldn't wreck your car if you maintain it yearly with this oil. If not just do their normal full syn EO which is even cheaper.

I'm not promoting this brand and not sure if I even helped in your thread. I just prefer this over the somewhat shady Bold. You do you own diligence.

Thanks for the info, well understood.

Aiyo ok ok.

So wat does ester good fr?

I just check bold engine oil from /k recommendations. Macam cheap. Planning to buy

shell helix high mileage

All those brand got difference?

What brand u usijg? What car?

no such thing. my few cars over 15 years old still using fully synthetic. never had engine leaking problem not even at rocker cover.
