DIY Oil Change and Flush

[Northiswara]

try goto bigger shell station. not all shell station has it.
i also searching for a few shell and finally i end up with a bigger shell that has more than 15 pumps and the business si beh good. this shell got sell a few bottles of flushing oil.

Been using the shell flush since I got my car 3 years ago. Its been working great :top:

I usually do it every 3 oil changes. My oil change interval is once every 15,000kms, as i'm using either Mobil 1 5W-50 or Castrol Edge 5W-40. (still prefer Mobil 1, engine revs easier ). Of course, oil filter change every 5k.

Really, i think its one of the best engine flushes - the other method is to drain the old oil, pour in a bottle of engine oil, drive and rev for 30 minutes, then drain again. Then pour in your preferred oil. ( expensive lor... :frown: )

Northiswara,

I bought the synthetics during promotion, so they were easily RM50-60 cheaper than usual. Bought a few bottles, Mobil 1 ard RM140/ 4L bottle and Castrol Edge ard RM145/ 4L bottle.

Used to use Motul semi-synthetics, RM135 per bottle, last only 5000 kms, already feels heavy, so changed to thinner fully synthetics.... damn syok wei...

Now the Mobil 1 in the car already 12k kms, still feels like new.....

Semi for 15k kms = (RM135 + RM10) x 3 = RM435 burned :vollkommenauf:

Fully for 15k kms = RM145 + (RM10 x 3) = RM175 only.

the mobil that u bought must be from carrefour larr. this mobil looks a bit different from the mobil that i saw at car accessories shop. these promotion mobil seems like replica oil larr. cozs they use stick to stick the mobil brand on the bottle and the bottle quality looks cheap. end up i dont dare to buy it.

u use wat engine bro? i also from penang.

to me:

semi for 10k kms= (rm 89 + rm12) x 2 = rmrm202
fully for 10k kms= rm145 + rm12= rm 157.
hmm................... not bad. hehe...........

comparing mobil1 fully and castrol edge fully which one better?

 

[DLegend]

yeah, the Mobil 1 is from Carrefour. As far as I know, they have this 5W-50 Rally Formula oil in Sweden and Australia. :ridinghorse:

i'm running a 4G18 only, just want the best for my car

Comparing Mobil 1 and Castrol Edge ? Actually during daily driving, no difference at all. But Mobil 1 produces less sludge when draining out and flushing. Dunno why... :hmmmm: Maybe just coincidence.

Remember to flush your engine properly before switching to fully synthetic ar....

BUT... to tell u the truth, if I can afford, i'll go for Motul 300V anyday....
