Engine Oil from Tesco

[gunnerzz]

I bought Total eneo MC3 5w40 semi syn for my Waja not too long ago.
Its super cheap for a semi syn oil, and what more is that it comes in 5l package so I actually save more because I don't have to buy 2 4l pack as my waja engine require more than 4l.
How cheap?
RM 79 only. Last week go to Tesco and price back up to RM 139.

My BLM is using Tesco brand FS oil and I must say I am impressed by the oil. Last time was RM 89.
Recently I change the valve cover gasket and at that time the oil has been used for 6k km.
Just from the cam area I can say that the oil is still clean and no sludge on the area at all.

Another new info to share is that I saw Aisin engine oil and ATF being sold at spare part shop. I think its already a month.
From the packaging, it seems to be imported directly from Japan.
Their 20W50 grade is semi syn.
What caught my eye is they do sell in small barrel of 20l. Price on the barrel is RM 300. I think its lesser than that as all price for all item at spare part shop
are lower from the sticker price by a huge margin. I am eyeing the 15w40 semi syn barrel. Can use on all car in the garage.

Oh! 5w-40 SS oil, usually 5w-40 comes as FS. I bought Total Quartz 7000 SS 10w-40 from Tesco too at their super promo price of RM69.90 for 5L. Now all back to RM100 plus too, and when promo price around RM80 plus, more at RM69.90

recently Tesco selling not only Shell but also Castrol, Total and Mobil1 full synthetic at RM145.00
I have asked Shell Trading Malaysia and they claimed that these engine oil has no warranty from them but I don't know what kind of warranty are they talking about.

To me, oil are the same, only different is the addictive but I think if usable in Europe then should be fine. The most important is the viscosity, malaysia weather any W30/W40 would be safe to use. I don't really care about the number infront, 0W or 5W doesn't makes any different to Malaysia.

Warranty for oils these days cover engine failure due to oil lubrication or whatever. Imported oils such as those sold by Tesco are Euro blend and all. Unless Tesco is selling recycled oil, using those oils won't damage anything la. Just probably shorter OCI only.

Tesco is MNC, they buy bulk from EU and sell cheap here. Since cheaper, shorter OCI is good, cleaner engine.....

or,they know most of us hard driving kaki and drives 4 cyl car.
so 30 not suitable....

50 is almost goneand now 40 dominate market.
30 is steadily being used in newer modern engine,even turbocharged engine.i know
this cause my friend pug are recommended to run on that grade of oil.

Modern engine tolerance more precise, probably needing lighter viscosity. 50 weight old faithfully Mobil 1 5w-50 still around.....

Yup, so far the cheapest FS and 5L some more.....

I got Mitsu FS 5w-40 at RM90 for 4L at Aeon. Usually selling at RM119 but that day offer....

Yeah before this I actually used 2 rounds of that Eneos Mitsu 5w40 oil, bought at Jusco for also about rm90 I think, very cheap also! But I prefer this Mobil 5 ltr bottle because if 5ltr I just need to buy 2 bottle first and can use exactly for my 2 cars (6.5ltr +3.5ltr). Or I can use for 6ltr + 3ltr and save 1 ltr and then later buy another 5 ltr to make it 6ltr for my car again. Last time when buying 4 ltr bottles, I need to buy 3 so I can use for 2 times just for my car (2x6ltr).

 

[vr2turbo]

Yah! it depends. Like my SUV needs 5L, so buying 4L bottle, have to buy 5 bottles for 4 times use, so I try to use same oil and use the balance for the other cars. But then problem also, as my Hyundai uses 3.5L and VR uses 4L since got oil cooler, so is very complicated :hmmmm: unlike yours is straight forward.....hhahhahahah

The thing is not many selling in 5ltr bottle, so far I only found this Mobil 3000 and Total.

Off and On, Shell Helix SS 10w-40 have 5L bottle too.
That day check Mitsu New SN oil, prices up over their old SM oil, but they do have 5w-30 now, previously 5w-40 and 10w-40 only. SS 5w-30(SN) RM137, where old SS 10w-40(SM) was RM99. Probably that is why they cleared the older FS 5w-40 at RM89, that means new 5w-40 should be in the RM150 region....
