I am tempted to get this. Just 500km overdue from 10K yesterday. Either the RM140 genuine toyota or this RM170 valvoline.

Thats the good thing about Valvoline now is that it is a cold brand in Malaysia. Cincai search inside shopee, every bottle size is in quart and nothing is cheap. Very littles sellers. If after a few months in and this brand suddenly blows up, then fakes will start to appear.

Its exactly the same scenario with the Toyota GF-6A tin can oil that i am using now. When i started using it last year, it was not sold in shopee at all. After 1 year the fakes started coming in.

So the % of you getting fake now is almost zero with that observation. I will probably check out spare parts shop to see if it is also being sold there.

I always wanted to do engine flush on the 300000 km myvi. But the time and cost is really a deterrent. But now seems like can do it in an economical fashion. Just maybe need to change oil filter 2 -3 times.

100k km is chicken shit nowadays. I have been maintaining 2 of my parents cars, 2002 and 2006 cars, both hitting over 300k km, no issue at all. 2002 5k interval follow manual, 2006 10k interval follow manual too. Seriously, no a single shit problem like eating engine oil and etc.

And guess what, the 2006 engine with more than 300k km mileage is still using 0w20 oil. There are multiple 'genius' foremen I had met throughout the years that keep telling shits like 'old car must use high viscosity oil to protect old engine'. As usual, I don't give a f on them and until today my ca3 got no issue.

Keypoint is, maintain your car as per manual and don't skip any maintenance. And don't stinge on buying fake oils or unknown branded oil. Remember, it's MECHANICAL.

I wanna know what car engine uses 0/20 made in year 2006. 🤔

2008 Myvi 1.3L uses 5/30 out of box. So am curious what supercar is that.
