Seems cheap one for my fish and Kancil, best deal would be 3 Bottles of Total Quartz SS (5L).

Since both cars only use 3Ls. Can use 5 times. Sometimes 3Ls also still have some left a bit in the bottle.

Perodua Gold SS 3Ls only already cost RM65

I sincerely doubt branding has anything to do with performance. IMHO, whether the oil meets the car manufacturer's specifications and requirements is more important and having sufficient black oil to meet optimum performance is equally important.

Branding has more to do with pricing and market share. For Tesco to come out with an in-house brand speaks volume of itself and its ability to move substantial stocks within a short period is important, as nobody would want cash to be tied-up in stocks. Surely sufficient testing would have been done to prove that the in-house brand will be able to meet the minimum standard, cause if it is able to prove otherwise Tesco can have legal action taken against them. Too much of goodwill is at stake and I doubt any sane businessman would want to risk it.

Not too long ago, there was a black oil that was marketed from the US on t.v. The guy simply drained the car of it black oil and proceeded to rev the car and drove off. On top of that, it came with a guarantee that it wouldn't harm the engine! It was too mind blowing for a simpleton like me, let alone comprehend the advert. Did anyone tried that oil out :questionmark:

Agree on this POV.

Toyota Corona TT141 : that black oil - oil-less engine test has been done by lots of people. In fact Bardhal is doing it very often. They never talk about what happens to the car afterwards and only show that the car "still runs" even though oil-less. Drive it long enough without oil and things will start to seize. That's when it gets interesting!

Yup, sometimes trying to be different or in the highlight but end up digging deeper shit hole...

Some famous brands claim their engine oils are tested and proven in F1. To what extent the F1 engine oil formula is applied in the ordinary car engine oil?

Izso : The interesting part, who in the right frame of mind would want to create a super product like this type of black oil, only to kill the sales of its existing product range of black oils not to mention recurring sales? Shell? Petronas? etc. Business wise it makes no sense at all.

YYC : This vexes me now that you've mentioned F1. I do not enjoy F1 races and neither have been to 1 either but how is it possible that they conduct oil changes in the middle of a pit stop? These changes would take like forever in nanoseconds! Don't tell me, they use the special oil-less stuff for these F1 cars!

I reckon they have a very high black oil formula to withstand the gruelling temperatures and endurance to complete the race for their engines to perform under such strenous conditions. Unfortunately, the basic car does not perform under such conditions, hence I suspect the formula is of an inferior quality from their research & development process and not identical formula to those use in F1 races.

With so much poured into Advertising & Promotions all in the name of market differentiation and share, surely the tag line F1 engine oil formula is applied in the ordinary car engine oil does make a lot of economic sense. That's where these items should be priced higher than non-F1 based items, since they do not incur such high expenses like Tesco Brand Engine Oil, unless Tesco makes an executive decision to move into F1 series, everyone should better stock up on their engine oil. Besides with GST around the corner, it makes a lot of bloody cents!

Actually you'd be surprised. The oil technology is similar if not very close to the commercial oils, the main difference is just the viscosity used in F1 cars. Those cars use one weight oils and have to be heated before they can be fed into the F1 car. But you probably already know that. In terms of the additives and friction modifiers, etc, it's very similar if not close to the commercial product. How similar is a guarded secret though.

I think its because of the immense heat from 15000rpm.

Yup, because don't need multi grade oil, they are running hot only, why need 0w, 5w...more over they rebuild or change engine every 2 races.....
