Engine Oil for Mivec 1.6 DOHC 4G92

[modesto007]

Good day to all ..

I need to know the suggested engine oil for Mivec 1.6 DOHC 4G92,
Recently me done with general service on timingbelt/water pump/spark plugs and so on..

So for the first time, i used HKS Semi Synthetic 10w 40 4liter engine oil. It suppose to run for 5000km but now its just 3500km ran and the oil stick sitting at 2nd bottom line..

Current status:
Engine PnP
Iridium Spark plugs
2" Direct piping
HKS Semi Synthetic 10w 40


The engine oil pretty good though, made my engine much lighter and better response. What made me worried is the km it lasted...
There's no white smoke or oil leaking or what's so ever... ive checked it thoroughly...
Im gonna change it now, so im just thinking what will be the best for this engine oil for this type of engine... ??

Cheers

for power,the thinner the better for n/a engine.but since ur engine did "eat" up some engine
oil,u might need to consider changing ur piston ring.if u still insist on changing engine oil
but want to make it last longer than ur current 1,choose viscosity greater then 40.xw-50 might
help.

the strange thing is, the mech checked it and confirmed there's no need to change piston ring as its look very good and the block seems perfect... so im just curious!!

so perhaps, i try differ oil now and monitor it, if its happens again then piston ring good to go. ..

GT Auto, ...any other thoughts ? you reckon i should try something like 10w 50?

cheers

There is a synthetic oil from castrol , 10W/60 its good for very rough condition but the engine response will suffer abit. Motul has a 15w/50 synthetic as well.

mayb can try Motul 10w40 fully sync then see how 1st...

lots of them reckon Q8 Formula Advance Semi Sync 10w 40, been looking around klang, but none keep stock..

which you reckon for NA engines? Semi Sync or Fully Sync? should i go for higher viscocity so the enigne oil last longer ..?

oh man im confused ...and me engine need new oil also the gb oil ...

cheers

Since your engine is oil consuming which it isn't a good sign, better u go for higher viscosity oil than the thinner ones. It can protect your engine better but fc and acceleration suffer a little bit. Ohh ya, not advisable to go for fully syn as it drain off your oil quicker than u expect !

 

[modesto007]

will get 10w 50 then see how its goes. .. if its happening again then need to take it back to mech..
Cheerrs ...

another question gb oil? which one i should use? for mivec 1.6 gb:wavey:

 

[lonelylilpig]

i'm using penzoil 80/90 for my kenari, quite smooth and it also appropriate with LSD gd. If u really some better ones can try Red Line 80/90 or Motul 80/90

Have u all seen the oil test yet?

royal purple?..which country use that?..btw,thanks for the info!:top:

Its a Uk brand i guess.....
Auto child of PJS 7 using this brand of oil.

royal purple is quite a well known brand in US,but they prefer mobil1 as their engine oil.

So despite the test result, u still wanna use Mobil 1?

Don't be so quick to blame the rings. It's high temperature burn-off and you just find the oil level dropping at the dipstick.

Motor oils runs best at between 80-105 C. Those lucky enough to have a PRECISION oil temp gauge are privileged to track the engine's internal heat via oil. Remember, higher engine operating temperatures cause horsepower loss.

For those who suffer serious oil burn-off, a bottle of Tufoil should help. All engines run cooler with Tufoil including million dollar gen-sets.
