But this valvoline doesnt look like PAO+Ester blend at all. From the safety data sheet composition , it looks more like ordinary group 3 base oil.


If this is group 4 PAO base oil, then the data sheet will look more like this:

Same I used only H n Shell oil 0-20w n since my engine now 112k km, plan use 5-30w she'll n now since jus gt the VRP with almost same price as the shell but cheaper than H oil ,try lo and I think my overboost  little 1.5T engine can be cleaner n last long but then again by 150k km usually gt new car liou

Why u wan to increase from w20 to w30?

I did changed to Shopee Mall engine oil which they advertised with PAO + Ester. If it indeed clean agressively (due to PAO + Ester), I will repeat this.
Is this bold parts are similar to Shell Helix Malaysia version where they advertised it as "Untuk Pasaran Malaysia" where most known no technical changes for the oil vs other region.

For analysis parts, hopefully there are one who done it on the Petrol version. Cz some brand advertised their Fuel are the bestest vs others, some mentioned put double additive vs recommended, while some offer the best for their 97 Ron.

Not much diff actually,jus better heat control n mileage also high, some H SC ask to upgrade to 5-30 also even when new,anywya6in manual also recommended.
This engine also have risk of oil dilution 3-4% every 1k km as data frm US accords.thankfully our climate is way warmer

not a car guy.
i buy 5L 'proton' oil from shopee suspected be fake oil.
recently trying hardex engine oil on 1.5NA almera, hardex eximius 5w30 did make the car better respond compare to previous castle 5w30...quite 'magic' for me. ofc, it can be due to i changed ignition oil and spark plug together too.

again, not a car guy.

Buy from shoppee authorized dealer to minimize risk of fake oil.
Or just go buy bold engine oil. Been using it in my honda k20a type R engine with 260hp, for few years and over 10 cycles, so far so good. Buy the fully synthetic one

The vpr u ordered is it same thickness as your current oil? Have u started using the vpr? If not yet and using same weigh oil, can u check the compression in each cylinder before using, and then retake the compression reading after using 1 cycle of vpr?
I cannot do the same as mine because previously using 5w40, now the vpr i am using is 5w30..

No all these while 0-20, but manual but my frens used 5-30 H oils.
I don't knw how to check compression test leh.
I start using VRP by early Dec since kow only run 4k km only

if your car manual recommend 0-w20, then use the recommended oil spec

apa heat control n mileage high? low boost 1.5 only ma....
just dun keep boosting when 5 mins from reaching destination, let engine oil circulate to cool the turbo before shutting the car down.

you only change if makan oil and put in thicker 5-w30.
some ask you cause they might have not got the oil in stock or they buy that in bulk thus cheaper and earn more from it

Ya always let it cool awhile b4 shutting down, the accord use same as civic but increase the Hp to 200hp
Ya sudah 110k km lo ,some owners H SC already ask to use 30 when new lo

Honda engine 110k km is considered low mileage.. my engine still virgin never open up before, 270k km and it still revvv smoothly to 8500rpm every time i got open roads

Not even change valve cover seal ?

The l15t engine built  too thin between chambers n have head gasket burnt issues and always fuel dilution make the EO thinner.

Well 5-30 is as thin near 0-20 n also in Service manual to use.so all good
Only tht time with my FC use Shell 5-40, memang heavy n after short run tukar back 20

Previous owner i dunno, but the seals look stock. If tukar d usually can see the gam gasket one.
The seals i tukar is the vtec solenoid seal and camshaft seal.
