I reckon the problem is US service intervals are based on the 7,500-mile, that is roughly 12k km

same oil pan cannot la long run unless the car mostly all freeway. US lot of cars clock up the mileage due to heavy freeway usage.

Just stick with 5w30.

It's not Shell who do it, its Lotus. They import that oil in high volume number and that's making the overall price much cheaper.

If it indeed fake items, years ago Shell will send LOD to Tesco/ Lotus/ Aeon for tarnishing Shell name. But not

No confirm, but that is the only seller in shoppe/lazada. And he only sells valvoline so...hopefully its genuine hehe.
Plus this one not famous yet, maybe no counterfeit yet hehe.

How is it after trying ah? Can tell whether ori or not?

I also came across the same seller on Shopee, but undecided yet on whether to proceed since not sure if ori.

Should be ori as my engine felt quieter. I only used for 3500km currently. It felt quieter after 1500km, but the oil consumption slightly increases. Probably due to previous i was using 5w40, current this valvoline i am using 5w30.

I will continue monitor and let it continue do its cleaning as it claims needed 4 cycle. Reviews from other users reported reduced oil consumption as soon as 3000 miles to longer. So mine still early.

What is the logic of fuel consumption increase when lower viscosity oil is used?

Im restoring what the previous owner did. When i got the car, the oil consumption was over 1L per 5000km. Previous owner change oil every 10000km.
Now the oil consumption is 300ml-400ml per 5000km after many cycles of using bold engine oil and changing it every 5000km. And this level no more improve. So now i am trying this valvoline restore.
