What car and is that the recommended viscosity? 15w-40 should be mineral as semi nowadays comes in 10w-40so 15w/40 which is better semi @ mineral
my ride @ the moment is the fish, coming 9 years this april is the last instalment, have been using p2 semi & send to p2 sc, think its 10w/30. after this will be d.i.y service & the deer will be using jb-jl for upgrade. so wondering which should be using for both so no need to keep diff eo edi, any solid recommendation for eo to use?What car and is that the recommended viscosity? 15w-40 should be mineral as semi nowadays comes in 10w-40
If on 10w-30, might as well keep to it. 40 weight may be too heavy. However most oil on sale is 40...:hmmmm:my ride @ the moment is the fish, coming 9 years this april is the last instalment, have been using p2 semi & send to p2 sc, think its 10w/30. after this will be d.i.y service & the deer will be using jb-jl for upgrade. so wondering which should be using for both so no need to keep diff eo edi, any solid recommendation for eo to use?
if that the case I think i'll use 10W as the main criteria for eo to keep coz it's the morning start up is my main concern + I think 30@40 weight wil do no harm neither for engine nor fc. what do yo guys think bout this??If on 10w-30, might as well keep to it. 40 weight may be too heavy.

k thanx for the enlightenment bro, will update if theres anything to share in the futureWhen I modified my car back then I did balancing, lightening and blue printed everything. The tolerance for each item was so small, the oil I could use was only 30 weight and below. Anything thicker than that will make it sluggish and wouldn't work very well in my car. I've actually tried 5W40 in the car once after modification, it worked and nothing broke, but the power loss was apparent (my ass is sensitive. hehe) and the FC increased quite a bit. Swapped to 5W30 and everything went back to normal.
I'm not saying 30 and 40 weights are different, they aren't.... much. In a normal car using 30 or 40 weight won't make much of a difference. I can almost guarantee you won't feel it if the oil quality is good. That's a big 'if'. I've come across really bad 10W40 oils.
Anyway, ultimately if you buy a genuine oil from a reputable company you can't go wrong la. Just buy within your budget means.
His is fish and deer which usually uses 30 weight, that is why I recommend back to 30 rather then 40, but also being 9 years old probably can use 40 already....hhahhaWhen I modified my car back then I did balancing, lightening and blue printed everything.

Just stick with the most common 10W40 will do. Try Kendall for its price. RM80/gallonHello Seniors,
Been going quickly thru this thread, seen some of you suggesting Motul, Castrol, Shell engine oil. 5W30, 5W40, 10W40 and all. I was wondering if somebody could suggest me between Shell or Petronas engine oil for my stock 1.3GL Satria and Saga BLM? 10W40 or 10W30?
I read some forums saying it depends on the driver themselves in determine which engine oil suits them, but i've only used Castrol and Petronas before and not noticing or knowing much benefit from either one of them.
Hope to get enlighten from you seniors.
Cheers.:stupid:
May I know is it reliable? Can get at any supply auto?Just stick with the most common 10W40 will do. Try Kendall for its price. RM80/gallon
Huh. Most common means most used, so reliable and plenty here. In Malaysia at least.May I know is it reliable? Can get at any supply auto?
Alright. Thanks for the information. I'll try to have a go with one of that Kendall soon. Oh by the way, which engine flush would you suggest?Huh. Most common means most used, so reliable and plenty here. In Malaysia at least.
Have u been using genuine engine oil? And also change oil within 5,000km?Alright. Thanks for the information. I'll try to have a go with one of that Kendall soon. Oh by the way, which engine flush would you suggest?
Hmm... stock right? Then whatever brand you buy, as long as it's a reputable brand and original - 10W40 or 10W30 will be fine la. I personally wouldn't use Magnatec for reasons known to me only, but any other brand will be fine.Hello Seniors,

Engine oil genuine so far. That is the thing, mine kinda exceed 5,000km with the Satria. Thinking of flushin it. Any recommendation?:hmmmm:Have u been using genuine engine oil? And also change oil within 5,000km?
If yes, engine flush is a waste of money. Just change engine oil within 5,000km no matter fully syn or semi or mineral.

Mineral or semi? If mineral how often have you been using mineral? Have you checked for leaks and all? A good engine flush will dislodge sludge and all that so if you had sludge blocking a leak or a hole somewhere, flushing your engine will make it leak.Engine oil genuine so far.

If afraid of what bro. Izso mentioned on the sludge and leak, you can also buy a cheap single grade 30 weight oil, change the oil, run with it for a while then drain and then pour in your preferred oil....Mineral or semi? If mineral how often have you been using mineral? Have you checked for leaks and all?

Anyway as for recommendations, I highly recommend the bluechem engine flush. That one is pretty awesome. Otherwise the CRC engine flush will do as well.
Been using semi, just did a repair on a leakage few months ago. Thanks for the insight Izso, I just did the service without flush. I'll take note of bluechem when it comes to engine flush. Thanks again.Mineral or semi? If mineral how often have you been using mineral? Have you checked for leaks and all?
