Define "Quality"?

Penrite Australian oil FS range is a mix between PAO and Ester base oils.
Prince and Motul FS have "double ester" base oils.
Pennzoil FS is quite cheap and is OEM for Toyota.
Royal Purple has very good detergents in the oils.
Shell Helix is backed by Ferrari.
Mobil 1 is default pouring oil for Porsche.

So what do you mean by "quality"?

Yup. It's so good I know a guy who uses it as a flushing oil. Safer than using a chemical flush. But expensive like hell to use as a flush.
If afford cars like GTR35, RX-7, EVO, then using it to flush seems normal. If see a kancil using it as engine flushing oil. Something is not right :rofl: :biggrin:

By the size of the cock that fits in the seller's mouth.

For example, JTX 1000 GOLD
Menjimatkan petrol 10%-20%, Meningkatkan kuasa enjin 20%-30%, Memanjangkan jangka hayat enjin

If it can increase engine power by 20%... why the fuck I go and turbocharge my boat? I must be stupid right? :stupid:

Proton Campro CFE only manage to increase HP by 25% over a normal Campro. No wonder Proton so damn sohai, they should have just poured JTX in!

remembered it because its in the catalog in my wife misadventure into the world of MLM....

Previously, the company is popular with water filter and those slimmming and figure-shaping girdles and bras

For me, stick to the traditional brands.... they have the manufacturing capabilities with proven track records...

If you really want to know it in white and black then dyno it.
That is true if its a race car. You know how often race cars rebuild their engines? After every race if the regulations allowed it.

How often you rebuild the engine in your car?

With the exception of Proton, you should always follow the manufacturer's recommended engine oil as outlined in the owner's manual. Most service centers will give you the engine oil they make the most profit margin on.

QUALITY means it can protect your engine just like mobil 1. i consider Mobil 1 as a quality standard.

How do you define quality?

Cleaning detergent is not good for engine for long term use. Is that true?

All engine oil protects your engine, just the matter of how fast it loses it properties.
Yes, cleaning detergent not good for long term use. But then VR2 turbo using diesel oil.
Diesel oil manyak clean.

- people who believe in MLM product
- people who don't believe in MLm product
- People who just believe Malaysia product\
- People who just believe US product
- People who just believe Japanese product

All is your choice. Each one tell their oil is the best. That's why I want more professional people to talk about oil here. And not those who just anti for meaningless

I agree with this. especially big workshop, oil company sponsor them many things include the sign board. They should only promote their oil is the best. I even came across a branded car accessories
shop in Jusco, they put many brand oil in their shop, at least 12 brand. Their sales person will only promote the most profitable oil, what the rest of 11 brand. They company is purposely put all the brand oil there, it keep it and don't want to sell. So they customer will see those oil bottle is dirty with full of dust. They just want to create a picture to the customer, their high profitable oil is the most sellerble oil.
It doesn't mean other brand oil is not good. This is strategy how business man play dirty trick.

If the oil doesn't clean you will have problems too.....

Define quality like you mention Mobil 1. My VR engine is like 10 years old after transplant, and usually I don't stick to one oil. I have been like trying many brands, from Toyota, Castrol, Bardahl, Esso (those days), Mobil, Pennzoil, Blue.Sky, Duckhams, BHP, Tesco, Zeetex, Q8, Delphi, etc. and in fact they are all in the cheaper range as I never pay more then RM150 for FS and in fact most of them are in the RM90 region....:driver:

Some fans complain that the newer muscle cars don't match up to it's glorious days in the past. So, Motortrend is able to bring back it's older ancestors to compare against its newer brethren . Enjoy this nostalgic video of the Old meets the New. Star cars include a 2011 Camaro SS against the '69 Camaro SS396 that inspired its design; a 2011 Challenger SRT8 meets the '70 Challenger it so faithfully resembles...
