Advice engine oil for campro engine

[ashyu90]

yeah what BE5RSK said is true, any syntetic is good but used like a big name company.......
avoid buy mineral....... the parts always fail in engine was conrod bearing, if oil can't reach there then u might having a problem start with bearing then jump to other parts one by one.....

that my 2cent opinion

for me, big name company does not guarantee they can make the best engine oil..i have been doing load tests on some types of oil like eneos, motul, hks, jtx1000, platinum 1000, castrol and shell...best result i have is platinum 1000 (new product in the market)..2nd best is jtx1000, 3rd is motul fully syntetic...

results of this test was taken by how much weight is used at load test machine, how long time it takes and effect of damage to the bearing ...from there we can make decisions which engine oil the best...

aiya...!nowaday outside spare shop got many many engine oil with any type,but for me as long as we always good take care,and service d car on time,maintenance it when it really need replace part like brake pad,brake shoe,timing belt,belting,bearing,rubber bush,bla bla...doin good maintenance and service car on time is better u using good or expensive engine oil /gearbox for once......running till 10 to 20k or maybe forget service or no money service hold hold hold....till engine performance be poor,other part damage/leaky,crack,torn already but dun wan replace.every part in car is important,need relugar maintenance/check up,replace when torn out.Like me,i just using castrol semi oil but service on time,no need use how good or very expensive oil like motul ,or any import from japan oil.basic ok!what u car?just for daily use rite?

The most important aspect is, make sure the engine oil is genuine and not the recycled one.
Nowadays, lots of recycled engine oil sell at spare parts shops. Normally, they sell it slightly cheaper from the oil manufacturer recommended price. Make sure you purchase it from "trusted" shop, or if you are not sure which shop, just buy from the pump stations.

On the other note, I know some of forumers here have heard about staffs of some authorised car service centres (cannot revealed the name cos no proof) doing some "project" regarding the engine oil. The modus operandi is, the changed the engine oil of the customers' cars with genuine engine oil. As we all know, most engine oil bottled in 1L and 4L packs. Let say the car needs 3.8L for engine oil, they will pour the oil in exact quantity into the engine, but they will keep the balance of 200ml and charge customer based on 4L price. This balance of oil (200ml) will be use for the next customer (let say also need 3.8L oil), and will have a new balance of 400ml. The will do it over and over again for the next customers until they get "balance" of exactly 4L in an unopened bottle. The staff will sell it outside with a very attractive price.

I knew this "project" through my friend who sold me a bottle of unopened 4L Syntium 3000 fully synthetic printed with Pr#&on logo with a price of RM 50.00

Now, I regret already. It's not that he cheated me with the fake oil. For me, it just unethical attitude. Now, I stop purchasing engine oil from him (even though it's very hard to resist the temptations to get good things at cheap price). The worst part, he mentioned to me that this "project" is normal and happens at any authorised service centres and some of them even mix the fresh engine oil with used engine oil into the customer car, to speed up the quantity of unopened bottle of engine oil.

My advise to all, if you change your car engine oil at any authorised service centre/dealer, please ask the balance of oil. You have paid for it, so you deserved to get the remaining/balance of the engine oil.

bro...i cant seem to find any info of this engine oil u said in the net.
so wats platinum 1000?wats the weight?is it semi or fully?is it API certified?

engine oil weight also plays a vital role for engine performance and protection.
buy the most expensive oil and wrong weight will also cause the car performance to drop and FC to rise.

anyone care to talk on the palm oil as engine oil?hehehe... :hmmmm:

Just to share..

I use Q8 Excel Fully Synthetic 5w-40 for my wife's Persona. A lot of mechanics say campro needs to use mineral la, xw-50 la.. the car now clocks more than 100k km and the engine is as good as new. (although the engine noise does increase a bit coz it is a Campro anyway). No probs whatsover. During engine idle, ppl will hard to tell it is an engine with high mileage. OCI is at 10k km, but I recommend it to change every 7.5km.

After difficulty finding the Q8 oil near my home, I tried Castrol Edge 5w-40. Engine seems quieter, but sluggish in performance.:slug: Even the wife commented this. The Edge 0w-40 might be better though..

But I'll stick with Q8 as the mileage goes higher. Q8 is very well known for taming the tappet sound. So far the persona's engine has no 'tak-tak' sound. :proud:

Who said Campro cannot use Fully-Syn? :stupid:

edge 10w60 is good, but wat car u r pouring this oil in?

if proton or any other NA car...u car not even performs well, and the FC will be higher than before for sure...WHY? look at the oil grade u mentioned....

Bro, to choose the type of engine oil is always confusing. Some people said no need use synthetic. Some said synthetic is the best.

But for me, i will always treat my car with synthetic. So far, never experienced any damage to my engine. To choose brands of oil sometimes can be confusing. My advise, just stick with established (company) brand name and follow strictly to manufacturer recommended viscosity. You wont go wrong, trust me.

Herewith, I would like to share a write-up on engine oil from one of the expert (he is a dealer actually) in UK. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/pdfs/tech-articles/Oil-Myths.pdf

Cheers to all

Synthetic oil is seriously the best, if you've been using mineral/semi-syn and you for once try a good full synthetic you'll never go back.

Its just so smooth
