Myvi is pretty much a tank. Built to last.
Any oil, so long genuine, will work for a myvi.

My myvi from 2013 is still in my stable after all these years.

Why use 40?

Use xW30 lar pannai. X = can be anything as in Malaysia no difference

12 years no need Ultra , HX8 can do the job.

myvi use whatever genuine semi/mineral oil is enough. heck even cheapo mizu oil is okay.

its not even a high performance car that have a high requirements

my 15 years old vavi with a much higher milleage than yours still runs strong with no issues. currently using mizu 5w30 mineral+mos2 additive. car hardly hit 5000km in 6 months the reasone I swithc to mineral. Ceratec additive every 50k km. This 2 additive I use in all of my car.

i will consider change to FULL synthetic if you plan to keep the car long .
you get about 2X better engine protection nod.gif

"Full Synthetic reduces engine wear by nearly 50% compared to standard oils." (Source: AAA)

"Full Synthetic flows significantly faster in cold starts, which is where 75% of engine wear happens."

"Full Synthetic resists sludge 3X better than industry standards

any genuine oil is fine, make sure use genuine oil filter and air filter too then the engine will last as long as you follow the service schedule. Or any oil filter and air filter that is better than genuine ones.

Malaysia market do have fake oils

Best engine oil to me are those oil collected from scrap oil bottle that service center throw out, cause those are free and confirm original. Then every 2000km go change oil because collected too many already tongue.gif
