wow why so many people using Eneos 0-50?

prasath,

my engine oil level is still ok...after one track day and countless speeding on highway

i bought the eneos from jacky previously. it seems buying from jacky is a little bit cheaper compared to 1-Utama Eneos. RM 60 perliter if im not mistaken.

i'm going to do my wheel alignment afterwards. see you there.....

Bump:

Vagabond,

Im just finish my Eneos 0w-50! But i think my fren still got some left over. If you want i can check for you and the price, how many liters you need? DC5 is 4.5 liter right?!

Benzer,

how much the eneos one?

Bump:

prasath... i really really wanna go.... but i got too many commitments (financially) this month, and the next few months... my new apt is going to be ready and it's going to take loads to renovate, unless i sell it :).. Sepang is not going anywhere ... can i just go and watch for a while eh?

zaki,

Bump:

benzer,

Hi guys,

I have a question.

I was monitoring my power steering fluid by looking at the reservoir.
I noticed that when the engine is cold, the oil level is just nice at the minimum level.
However, when the engine is hot, the oil level is above the maximum level.

Which level should I see? When cold or hot?

Also, if the level is low, can I just buy the oil and top it up myself?
If yes, what type of oil should I buy and where can I get it?

Thanks in advance!




Btw guys, I tak jadi go for the last track day on the 18th.
Didn't have time to prep my car at all, just started new job last week, no time to go workshop, etc.
Based on the postings, it looks like it was too congested anyway.

I can snap some photos with my 3 yr old camera for sure ;) or you can pass me your SLR for better quality photos ;)

Let me check with the Lubrication Dept if they even market the Mobil 1 extended performance here in Malaysia.

*and trying my luck* is anyone interested in buying an apt in Manjalara? nearby Desa Park city?

Ok guys, will try to make it, I will be in kampung(malacca) during the week but will come back by saturday/sunday morning of the track day.
I think I will buy the oil and all before i balik kampung and go to mechanic in malacca to prep the car.

Please bring back some chicken rice balls from melaka for me

 

[prasath_5338]

Vagabond, how do you judge whether an engine oil is thin or thick? for example 0w50 vs 10w40..

When i google it, the results were:

0w better than 10w: better flow during cold engine condition
50 better than 40: gives better protection at operating temperatures

thus i guess 0w50 (being the thin oil) provides better protection than 10w40 (thick oil)....

And you bring back some penang char kueh teow for me.

Please read this article, it's very good, explains a lot on what you want to know about engine oil.

And for those using the Eneos 0W50, please read this forum thread, especially the post made by jdub. I'm not implying anything, but just sharing what I've read.

I guess slick answered the question for me!

I like the following 2 sites, i think they explain quite clearly:

http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.html (Goes into great detail on the SAE ratings)

Sorry guys.. my fren left 4 liters for his own use.

FYI, we used to have 60 liters each sponsored from Eneos Malaysia on 2007 for autocross events. we tried to sell it on ZTH for rm40/liter but not much ppl interested to use this oil, but we able to sold some to Subaru owner in Singapore and the less we used our self.

My experience is all fully syn oil more or less are the same, only different are between fully and semi oils. If you sayan your car and race in SIC is better use Fully syn and change every 5k KM don't believe the claim for 7k km or 10k KM !:stupid:
