yeah, the Mobil 1 is from Carrefour. As far as I know, they have this 5W-50 Rally Formula oil in Sweden and Australia. :ridinghorse:

i'm running a 4G18 only, just want the best for my car

Comparing Mobil 1 and Castrol Edge ? Actually during daily driving, no difference at all. But Mobil 1 produces less sludge when draining out and flushing. Dunno why... :hmmmm: Maybe just coincidence.

Remember to flush your engine properly before switching to fully synthetic ar....

BUT... to tell u the truth, if I can afford, i'll go for Motul 300V anyday....

i just flush mine when switching from magnatec to caltex semi syn. my caltex semi syn still running in the engine. maybe will change to castrol edge.

 

[GT'd]

how much actually castrol edge oil?now using magnatec, thinking want to change to fully syn.....

 

[Northiswara]

edge rm145.
magnatec rm80++

 

[donCityZ]

i oso just switch to Castrol Magnatec.
same same only with previously Petronas Semi Synth.

 

[Northiswara]

i use magnatec but it sucks.
so now i switch to other semi syn which better a lot than this magnatec.

 

[donCityZ]

what does it mean magnatec sux?
any comment? engine feels heavier or anything?
so my car use magnatec... engine feels same same ony..
response still ok kua..

bro. now u use what engien oil?isit Q8?

 

[Northiswara]

magnatec sux version contains the following functions/spec:
1. after running few hundred km, the engine become rough! noisy!
2. after 2k km, shit. the engine become super rough!! lack of power!! oil color turn into dark brown damm fast! macam driving a diesel engine!
3. after 3k km, u will definitely tidak tahan til want to flush the oil and use other oil.

bro, i not the only 1 who commenting like this, there are a lot other people who comment the same. there is one naza ria guy, since day 1 using this oil til 100,000km. guess wat happen? need full overhaul on his engine. must be the piston ring hanggus liao lar. and now i using caltex semi syn which is rm5-10difference than magnatec and feeling is happy driving. anywhere maybe i got the replica magnatec or wat i also dun know. now clocking 3k km ++ with caltex engine oil, the engine still not noisy.

 

[cybtech]

and gets dirty fast!

i found an oil which is worst than magnetec. try duckhams.... hehe...you will knw wat i mean.... and if you want the super rough feelings.... try conoco

 

[Northiswara]

wo...............
duckhams is for diesel engine use since it is damm rough.
by the way i always see duckhams oil in barrels. so guess it is most suitable for diesel engine use.

doncityz,
i bet u will go flush ur engine liao larr.......... later after few years ur piston ring hangus! vtec canot engage cozs the oil too rough.

guess i not the only one who complains on magnatec.
the old magnatec was damm good. i used it before. but now the newer magnatec sux me hard.

 

[CarroTT]

renxun, u use other oils later ur sponsor company marah ler. heheheheee

 

[somebody]

Anybody know where can I get this in Malaysia? I saw one mechanic had use it and it was so easy to change oil. I asked the mechanic where he bought it, he said he bought from a hardware van that sells from workshop to workshop.

In ruten.com.tw they sell it for 1900 taiwan dollar (around RM200). So it's a good investment. Chuan Jiing Enterprise is the name of the taiwan company which made this product.
The item part number is CJ-169.

SO, anyone know where to buy?????

 

[Northiswara]

this is older version lor bro.
now newer version use the air from air compressor to suck the engine oil out.

why u want to suck the engine oil out? just unplug the oil nut then the oil will come out also lerr............. lagi senang.

 

[somebody]

^yes I know they have pneumatic one and also pneumatic/manual. I just want the simplest design = only manual.

So, do you know where to get one Northiswara?

 

[donCityZ]

i dont see whats the point la if buy manual one..
just jack up the car and open drain plug more easier wut?
some more if u use manual sucking one, how u know u fully sucking the
oil leh? oil pan there got curves and dips etc..

 

[Northiswara]

i no idea where to get it.

 

[rockcity]
