EvoX engine oil

[yonez]

Hi All,

Currently I'm using motul300v competition. Any other brand that you guys use for your evoX?
I'm not tracking my car and lenjan sekali sekala :).

Thanks.

Thats a good brand.
If you can afford it, no need to change.

Indeed it's a good brand. But what else that people use out there?

Perhaps there is an alternative and much cheaper :)

Engine Oil...

I used this for track 15-50 :
AMSOIL DOMINATOR® 15W-50 Racing Oil

Petronas 10-30 for daily drive :

and a few other around the same price.. RM 100++ and I flush off every 5000KM.. Fuch... and so on

I am using Liqui Moly 10w-60 on my evo 9. Not cheap too but defintely cheaper than Motul 300v.

Also came across another German lubricant company: ROWE, also has a 10w -60 racing oil. Anyone tried?

Gonna do full service right before TimeToAttack Sepang.

Thinking of trying Motul 300v this time...

Since day 1 of owning the X, was using Torque NM's 15-50W. Was charged at RM85 per liter. Have not tried using other engine oil, so I am not able to give inputs regarding to comparison to other engine oil.

now testing another oil instead of Motul 300V.. hitting TTA this Saturday to fully test it out.

Nanodrive - Low Friction Technology | Millers Oils
Using Millers 10-50W with nanodrive

enging idling seems quieter
logging my daily drive shows lesser knocks (surprisingly), better engine response and smoother acceleration.

also.. SST oil.. using Motul DCTF ... just did full service (2nd time thisnyear )

Hi John,

Mind sharing where you got the Millers Nanodrive from? I've used Millers a couple of times before and I find it's the only oil where I did not have to top up throughout my service interval. Didnt have the same luck with Torco or Motul irrespective of viscosity used.

Unfortunately the shop where I used to buy this oil stop carrying this brand a few of years back. As such would appreciate if you could let me know where you got yours from. Thanks.

I got them from Oil Guru. They also distribute Torco, Q8 along with Millers

Hi John,

care to eloborate more on SST oil..

After hitting the track... and daily driving it for nearly 1000km...
The Motul DCTF seems to be working fine or better than standard diaqueens...

Temperature seems to be very very stable and it doesn't show signs of degrading even in hot temps.

Best of all, its half the price of Mitsubishi DiaQueen SSTF

Thank JL,

No more slowdown message at the track? u still using stock cooler?
where did you get it?

 

[johnsonlam]

Did not get any slow down message despite maintaining high revs at the track and shifting above 6000 rpm (which usually we tend to keep it at 6000 to not heat up the clutch so much)

Yes, Stock Cooler... Although I did DIY ECU Tune the SST Clutch engagement pressure and SST Slip Limit to allow lesser slip and faster clutch engagement during the track.

I got it from Acanta Autotech.
He brought in a few crates, I think left 6 bottles now.

That sounds good.
Can you explain more on ecu tune the sst.. do u change it during daily drive? Oru just tune it once for both track n road duties..
Im interested in that tuning..
