Amsoil is sure an OTAI Oil. Pretty new to our market though it's got many loyal users in the States who'd vouch it's the best synthetic oil money can buy. As with any oil remember to check oil level occasionally and top up when necessary.

White smoke at start up, could be due to valve seal leaking. If white smoke when driving then piston or rings gone.....
Most 15w-40 are still mineral. Semi usually from 10w-40, you can try and if consume more oil can always change back on next change

Hi all,

I always travel on the highway a lot (it's possible for me to touch 3,000-4,000km in a month) plus I usually rev quite hard when overtaking at about 5.5k RPM so my question is, would using full synthetic and change oil every 10,000km or use semi synthetic and change every 5,000km be better?

I know that a high quality semi synthetic oil could also last up to 10,000km but the oil filter must be good as well. However because of my driving style, I'm thinking that using semi synthetic and changing every 5,000km might be the better option. At least the engine gets fresh oil more frequently.

Any opinions?

i usually change my cars ride after 10 to 11k and i m using syenthic .............. well i think for some time that changing the oil before the prescribed time or the recommended time would definitely increase the engines life and you might not feel any need to be overhauling.....

I always look after my car and I consider engine as the most important part and body of the car. so I change engine oil at every 10,000 km. I think synthetic oil is the best to use to get better care and mileage.

same here la bro...that's why i check it always...dont want to risk engine oil dry out...for me i'm only using semi syn...my service intervals varies...our friend the thread poster is lucky...always on the highway...me everyday stuck in traffic...so in a sense "enjin hidup odometer tak jalan"...thats why i prefer to look at the dip stick rather than depending solely on the odometer reading...

yess..that's right.....maybe the oil reduce when u high revving......so better check frequently.....:)
