QUOTE(DM3 @ Oct 13 2025, 05:56 PM) 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. 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? This engine also have risk of oil dilution 3-4% every 1k km as data frm US accords.thankfully our climate is way warmer I cannot do the same as mine because previously using 5w40, now the vpr i am using is 5w30.. |

QUOTE(josh5671 @ Oct 14 2025, 12:15 PM) not a car guy. Buy from shoppee authorized dealer to minimize risk of fake oil. 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. 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 |

QUOTE(DM3 @ Oct 14 2025, 03:45 PM) The l15t engine built too thin between chambers n have head gasket burnt issues and always fuel dilution make the EO thinner. I think its due to the small indentation in the small space between each cylinder is the issue. How la the gasket wan seal properly like this. 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 Apparently that design to help cool the engine |

QUOTE(Par@dox @ Dec 2 2025, 08:45 PM) How is it after trying ah? Can tell whether ori or not? 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 also came across the same seller on Shopee, but undecided yet on whether to proceed since not sure if ori. 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. |

QUOTE(ry8128 @ Dec 2 2025, 09:27 PM) What is the logic of fuel consumption increase when lower viscosity oil is used? Ah my bad. Its oil consumption, not fuel consumption.---- Hey waitaminute i was right, i wrote oil consumption, not fuel consumption. Uncle, get your eyes checked please  This post has been edited by Balanced: Dec 2 2025, 09:32 PM ry8128 liked this post

QUOTE(Momo33 @ Dec 2 2025, 11:24 PM) you should also use petrol ron95 from Caltex or BHP. proven formula . I am a long time caltex user. Doesnt work, at least not when the engine already having oil consumption issues.the fuel claims the best in cleaning deposits at rings |
