Is that another way of saying 10w50 is as desperate as it gets?

i'm not using 60 grade oil unless im going to race in endurance racing on a turbocharged car... lol...

even that, the correct quality of 10w50 oil usually works fine for that kind of application

What type of oil is another story......lol
Mineral (group 1) basically is made from crude oil, SS (Group 2) is said to be a mixture of mineral and synth oil and FS, again comes in 3 groups. Group 3 is hydro cracked crude oil which can pass as FS, then there is Group 4 made of POA and Group 5 made of Ester. Of course price range differ from Croup 1 to 5.
Another difference between Mineral, SS and FS is the viscosity. Mineral usually on the heavier side, SS mid and FS very light like 0w.
Base of the oil price many change mineral at 5k km, SS at 7k and FS at 10k, but most say actually no difference. Some change FS at 5K also, up to individual....
Hope the above answers your query or maybe have confused you more.....hhahahhahahha

For a performance car like yours just go FS. I highly recommend the Shell HELIX Ultra 5W-40 . If you find it on sale in TESCO or GIANT for under RM100 go grab a few bottles.

My non high performance BLM now using that oil..RM99 for 4liter is too cheap to ignore. Even got 1 bottle spare in the store reserved for my another non high performance waja 1.8...hihihi.

I would say this is the best oil for the price..that if they do offer at RM99 lah. Last time when Tesco still sell Total i will buy it as got 5l packaging for semi 10-40w at RM76 only...

aguy in d partshop advis dis coupe sud use 10/60 enginoil, bes option, isit true?
thks n sweetday

Your water pump condition actually looks alot better than I'd expected. Looks like it can still work well enough actually to at least prevent overheating. Is your issue solved yet after changing the water pump?

You may check your radiator fan see if it had became weak, and your radiator also if it is clogged.

The pssst sound should be your blow valve if fitted with it. Closed system the release is piped back into your exhaust so no sound. The sound come when you release the throttle. If fitted and no sound, probably need some adjustment. If not fitted, should have no sound.......lol
