15W50 should feel kind heavy? From what I know older cars more than 8 or 10 years
advice to use 20W50. Never knew new cars needed to use such thick EO.

I felt the car lighter after using 5W30 instead of 10W40
I think its more of the engine type / preference. Turbo or high revving car works well with the likes of Motul 300v which is fs 15w-50.
Most common will be ss / fs 10w-40 which offer the balance.
And there are the likes of ss 5w-30 for Campro which is lighter and works faster during cold start up but maybe offer lesser engine protection during high revving.
Mineral oil only comes to play on much older car which tend to consume more oil.

I maybe wrong thou...

I see, I didn't know that though.

But so far for 5w-30, so far used, engine responds is smoother than before and the revving
is smoother as well. I don't feel like the car is struggling to reach up to some speed in fact
I find that the car is more fun to drive now than before. Not much needing in dropping gears.

Dropping gears is even more fun then :rofl:

5w-30 is indeed 'feel' lighter as am using it on my daily ride as it require less warm up time. Good during rush hour to office :biggrin: but according to my regular foreman, it offer less engine protection. Am not an expert so can't comment on this but there must be a reason why high revving NA and turbo engine using mostly thicker oil.

Kinda lag if use Semi Syn. Didn't like it. Maybe will switched to 5W-40 FS and see how it goes.
A friend using 5W-40 in his persona, and it was better to him. But I use 5W-30 for my BLM.
Both Fully Syn.

Semi Syn used to use from petronas since SC using them. But very lag in engine responds.
Now smoother.

Be it using any EO, as they advised, best to let the car warm up before moving. Is better
for the car engine it seems.

I just get the latest promotion EO and use it. Different brands but to me as long as it is a
quality EO, it will not harm your engine. Is EO anyway. Unless you pour something else
inside like Automatic Transmission Fluid :rofl:

Never heard of such thing that engine will damage if use different brand of engine oil.

Vr2turbo have all types of engine oil and his car is still running perfect. Most just
buy whatever good EO that is on promotion. Want to be safe, just use well known brands
or common ones. Like Shell, Mobil, Petronas, Penzoil, Castrol, and etcs.

Hey guys, my car is already showing signs of driveshaft inner cv joint failure. I don't want to use reconditioned driveshaft or 2nd hand ones. Proton ori is a bit expensive, so I thought of sending it to a shop that can change the inner cv joint only. Does anyone know any shop within klang valley that provides this service. Please help..thank u in advance.
