Engine oils

[Nieto]

i heard shell will stop penzoil production... but duno when~ for me, i will stick to semi syn... castrol magnectec or fully syntetic castrol edge sport 10w-60

btw, if u use a semi/fully, den u change to mineral... u feel da car very heavy~

and any1 here use petronas syntium 5000 0w-30 b4?

DONT ever downgrade to mineral if you have been using Synthetic oil !

And for old car that used to 'beer' dont start on 'vodka', the synthetic cleans the engine too clean then the sludge that keeps the compression also swept away.

Finally your engine fall apart. Is no joke when some people says synthetic oil damage theur car.

i rather use synhetic, either semi or fully... mineral doesnt giv power at all, if it damage my block, i can change my engine or overhaul it or watever...~ tats my opinion la, but if u guys got another opinion or suggestion~ share share la!!!

If you are the long subscriber to synthetic then is very good. Just it is not advisable for old car to start using synthetic if you been using mineral for many years.

i got a car used at 97K kms and switched to synthetic. car is now 150K kms and still running fine...zero oil consumption....no probs or whatsoever

was on Q8, now is Royal Purple.

me using castrol edge sport fully synthetic.. before this no money using cheapo oil cause really need to change.. engine heavy + noisy.. now normal again.. when change from mineral to synth oil better flush engine first so it dont mix with the old oil..

anyone using SAMLUBE semi-synthetic oil??... (10W-40)

previous oil change, i started using this semi-syn oil.... its nearing my next service adi and i noticed the engine oil level has decrease half... means it has dropped half of the middle point in the dip stick.... is this normal??... i'm fearing for any leaks in the valve and gasket.... but the sparepart shop tauke said its normal coz semi-syn oil is finer than mineral oil, thus evaporate fast.... ><

i also blur adi....

 

[nitrus]

i also using 10-40 semi-synthetic what .. no decrease/leak also ... maybe something wrong wid ur car ?

 

[mengz]

i had this problem when using fully-syn and this is a norm in 4G93 engines. switched to Eneos semi-syn 10w40 then problem solved. but i believe there is a slight leak at the piston rings. the spark plugs etc is clean, no carbon or sludge or any engine oil stains. shows that its not a major leak?

 

[silverwave]

anyone heard of top-1 oil? some mechanic recommended that to me. currently i'm using castrol magnetec semi syn.

which is better?

In full-syn even, after 5000km mostly there will not be any significant decrease. Although for a turbo engine, slight increase will be noticeble coz by the boosting, I think not more than 1 liter / 10,000 km

i want to ask this, the last service i went to perodua service center to service my car's 50k km mileage.I told them i don't want fully syn oil so they change for me to mineral oil straight..i normally use semi-syn for my car..so i want to ask all sifu what should i change during the next service? can i change back to semi-syn oil for next service?
