That's not best price, should be below rm80. Giant normally gives better promotion for Shell.Tesco the Curve

For me my personal favorite would be Royal Purple's HPS for FS oil. One of the smoothest oils i've ever used and pretty good FC + anti wear & detergent additives inside.OK so I tried searching the forum for a topic discussion on engine oils but unfortunately topics are restricted to certain car brand within car subforum
Would like to gather all car enthusiast opinion here.
From my understanding
There's mineral, semi and full.
Since this is best of the best topic we will just talk about full.
Full synthetic is group 3, group 4 and group 5. 3 being refined from crude oil
4 is PAO and 5 is ester based.
So many advertisement and testimony with pictures of cars clocking 200k km above using chemlube ester based oil open up gasket not a single deposit of carbon found.
So my ques:
I have a 10yr old nissan Latio sedan 1.6
Nv really bother much on its performance last time (point A to point B workhorse car). Used semi synthetic for 8 years and now total quartz 9000 10w40 full synthetic 2 years.
If I use ester based oil would it slowly clean up the deposits on my car?
Plan to foam clean the valves and throttles and engine flush first next change
Another ques is for newer cars.
If say I have new nissan x trail 2018 and still under warranty would using other oil void the warranty?
And do cars like myvi icon 1.5 worth putting ester based oils if I go long distance and 60 highway 40 city
Is the price diff worth it?
Brands wise?
Torco Millers CFS NT
Chemlube

Thanks for the heads up.Giant now promo Shell Ultra 5w40 at rm89/4ltr.
It's not a good nor bad oil. It's relatively cheap, korean and doesn't work well with performance cars.Thanks for the heads up.
Btw, any1 have experience with ZIC top? Currently using it on my old forte 1.6L.
At RM220+ for me its not cheap for daily Got it from autosaver cuz they free 2L of engine flush together. After this going back to helix ultra for sure.It's not a good nor bad oil. It's relatively cheap, korean and doesn't work well with performance cars.
You overpaid for the ZIC. I got mine sub 150.At RM220+ for me its not cheap for daily Got it from autosaver cuz they free 2L of engine flush together. After this going back to helix ultra for sure.
Yea I think its overpriced too, paid for convenience no choiceYou overpaid for the ZIC. I got mine sub 150.
TBN value for the 5w30 is rather low so oil change interval might be shorter.Thanks for the heads up.

Erm.. can't remember. Used it once in my Myvi and didn't like it. It was the 5W30 fully synthetic one. Gold bottle I think.Yea I think its overpriced too, paid for convenience no choice
150 is for the X7, X9 or this Top?
Hmmmm... high zinc bad for environment, but still have SN rating?If you're going for cheap oils on your everyday runner these cheap oils are ok to buy. But since this is "best of the best engine oils" thread, I'd put Penrite HPR series out there. Been playing with this brand for a while now and its resistance to heat is pretty incredible. Oil pressure doesn't budge much even with heat soak. And considering how much zinc it has it's good. But bad for catcons though.
SN can have high zinc provided its XW-40 and over.Hmmmm... high zinc bad for environment, but still have SN rating?
big companies that make these oils like Penrite know their way around the ratings and stuff. Their racing range of oils is very nice too.Hmmmm... high zinc bad for environment, but still have SN rating?
Since you're using it give feedback. I personally haven't tried this brandHow about MIZU engine oil which is quite famous in Lazada & Shopee. Tried once 0w-40 for saga BLM. Doing OK. no complain. The price is cheap.
Heard nowadays environmental also part of the rating, so have to be environment friendly.........lolbig companies that make these oils like Penrite know their way around the ratings and stuff. Their racing range of oils is very nice too.
Environmental rating only applies to the resource conserving grades, normally 0W-16, 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30 , 10W-30.Heard nowadays environmental also part of the rating, so have to be environment friendly.........lol
