how much price for Q8 semi?i was choose eneos before,it was quite ok though..gonna try Q8 for my next oil chg...

I used Q8 since I converted to B16A in 2001. Good value for money. Engine is smooth and ran efficiently. In 2004 suffered a burnt headgasket, so had to tanggal the head etc etc. Surprised to see the internals so damn clean one. Dunno about other engines, cos Mr. Superfast Avant complained Q8 cepat haus even before the desired oil change period. For my car it's sufficient and never experienced such a thing.

In mid 2005 shifted to Kedah....KNN...no Q8 (Motul got la but the price +RM30 from KL so go and fly kites la)... opted for Caltex instead. After 3 months of daily commuting from Sg. Petani and Alor Star, pistons rings worn out. Overhauled everything and now using Shell.

Still prefer Q8, value for money for a daily driven car. I used to buy Q8 Semi for RM70++ back in the days. Then it came to RM80++. Now I'm not so sure.

If your car is the type that takes part in drag racings etc and often hi rev, better invest in Motul or something simillar.

Just my 2 kupang huhuh

P/S :- izzit just me or do you guys experience "PROBLEM LOADING PAGE" or blank page etc etc whenever surfing ZTH ? Getting fedup of it already hence the recent inactivity

I use Fuchs 10/40w oils... even though engine loss compression, only piston 1 affected, the rest is still 220.. pretty cheap oil, but since my oil change is monthly.. (5000km in a month, yes, that's my regular mileage) eh.. cannot use motul oh. If weekend car can lah.. daily driver.. no way!

Ooopsss...the RM70+ was the price I got cos I was a Q8 part time distributor hahahah

1-4 (in order)

160 (less, the meter cannot even hold the pressure)
220
220
215 (this one also coming soon I think.)

Now still waiting for some more stuff to arrive before pulling the head out, so driving it as is. I turned off the 02 sensor (running open loop) because it was giving bad FC due to the leaking valve, now it's normal, but power not the same anymore (T_T)

Going to blueprint the engine when it's out, hopefully I have enough time to do that.

5000km a month ka... if can claim mileage must be quite syiok

Unfortunately, no such thing lah.. RM400-600 sure burn every month for fuel.. some trips can claim la.. but not all.

bro shiro, any particular reason cannot use motul???? thanks

Hahaha.. not in the way you're thinking cat.. What I meant by that is expensive ler.. try spending a few hundred a month for oil change, and then factoring other maintainances like tires, belts, etc. In a year, that adds up a lot.

I meant in my case.. If you don't see crazy mileage like I do, there's no real reason why you shouldn't use motul.
