Looks like most FS fare worst then SS and Mineral oil? Like Total FS and SS, the SS seems so much cleaner. Even Bardahl is clean and oil is quite cheap in spare part shops. BP FS also fare worse then their SS oil?

Yes surprisingly many FS looks very bad, even the damn expensive so called ester based like the Motul 300V! Maybe ester based is BS all a long?!
Bardhal XTC 5w40 looks pretty decent. I'm gonna check this out also for next purchase.
The BP Visco 5000 looks far better than the Visco 7000. BP is same group with Castrol.
It could be the down to the addictives plus the refinery process during manufacturing/refinering. That we need experts to explain. Too many variables.
BP bought over Castrol if not mistaken......Yes surprisingly many FS looks very bad, even the damn expensive so called ester based like the Motul 300V! Maybe ester based is BS all a long?!

The Total 9000 is quite cheap but not as cheap as the Mobil 3000 I bought last time @rm145/5ltr.
Anyway next oil change I'm just going to try Bardhal, much cheaper!

Some guys in Mark X club can still get them around rm80-90/4ltr. If cannot get then I'll just use the Mitsubishi Eneos oil again, only about rm90-95/4ltr.
Then it is still cheap, because I heard from some where it went up so was expecting like at least Rm100 or so.....
A search brought up some other threads in other auto forums and a bunch of youtube videos showing how the test was performed. It looks simple enough, heating up the oils to 400C for around an hour........

Makes you think again about what oil you want to use now!
Is the test even representative of what is going on in an engine especially for ordinary cars driven normally.
