this is good news. I hope prices will be low too. :) Ipoh ppl have always had to pay a premium for everything when compared to KL and Penang. No offence 04nick, not referring to you here, just prices in general.
Q8 is a good oil. I have been using the F1 for some time and it performs much better after 7000KM compared to petronas or shell fully syn after 7000KM.
How do I justify that...nothing too scientific. The engine sounds smoother after 7000KM when compared with petronas or shell. :D
The F1 is a heavy oil at 50, but since I do some long distance travelling, I tend to believe that this is the best viscosity for me.
In fact, som waja users have used the semi syn Q8 in their cars, and have given quite good feedback at the waja forum.
