Some "leaked" information i got few years back :
CamPro engine produces the most output ( power ) with 5W-30 engine oil.
To say it is not true is not true either :)
To say it is true, well, try it out yourself :)

only thing about thinner oils is the protection it provides.

at higher operating temps, it might not lubricate/protect as well as higher viscosity oil..the oil can only hold its lubricating capabilities to a certain heat range...im not so sure on the exact figures but i belive u can get the chart if you google and see.

if you drive hard, maybe should use 10w-40...for better protection...

No point using any other weight recommended by the manufacturer if your engine is stock. If Proton says to use 5W30 on your Neo just stick to it la. If they say to use xW40 then stick with 0W40, 5W40 or 10W40 lor.

Why make things so complicated? The higher the weight the better tolerance it has when heated to its optimum temperature. But that's not saying lighter weight oils are useless. I use 5W30 on my car mainly because I like the early morning protection it gives and how well it works with my Wira when spirited driving. 5W40 feels a tad bit more heavier on my car but it's not significantly different.

I'mma gonna try the Blitz 5W40 next oil change.

whoever has Motul's mixing recipe ( mixing different Motul oil to achieve something else ) memang untung :D

btw,

5W-50 :
5W : for winter rating
50 : viscosity index of oil @100 degrees celsius <---- correct me if im wrong :)

in the course of meeting, we inspects his ride, paint condition - (2 months old, only wash twice by the service center as he knew the tragic ending of prolong road side car wash)...after following my blogs for months, he is well informed &...
