Which Engine Oil for Ur B or H Series? And why?

[arrowhead]

before it became a weekend car, it was my daily drive, of course not to work as i was not employed back then.

i drove around quite alot, i often travel to my workshop located in sri kembangan - easily 40-50km to and fro, and i visited them almost everyday for about 3 weeks because minor adjustments/tuning was needed. baru transplant maaaaa

so safe to say, my car was my daily drive for abit, before it became my weekend car. of course by daily drive i dont mean i drive it to work and do sales(travel like 150-200km PER DAY). but per day distance would be somewhere around 50kms or so.

never toped up the engine oil before. even now.

still not eligible ke?

price about the same for M7 semi wif lev fully
but did feel rev lighter
not sure long term high rev effect yet
hv to top up often? i din take back the remaining oil leh bro...T.T

in my case its different bro i go drags often,and i play non stop for around 2 hours,and i play on the road late at night,so i'm constantly "enjoying" my baby...so its only natural my oil should be topped up...M7 is seriously great,i have no regrets....so dont worry bro,you will be alright...my car abit different...

hows the cover? any sign of leaks? how is your idle?
oil you never take back? usually he will put in all 4 litres bro...anyway after 2k or 3k KM,check your oil,if you need a topup....just come over. we will top up for you..when you say high rev,what figure are you looking at? cause 8k is considered normal for your engine...even if its on a daily basis you will be fine.

im trying to survey any alternative oil base on our forums feedback for their baby,then i will test it,and recommend to bro tiong for further feedback and see what he says...for now our best oil is M7..if dont find anything that performs close to this with a price tag less then M7,then we will be sticking with it..if we manage to find oil which performs like or better than M7,around the same price...we will start using that.

Now i am testing royal purple.feeling not as nice as M7,revs not as light,engine not as quiet also...but still acceptable...but not yet take it to pasir gudang...that day raining,track close.
