Synthetic oils, according to many auto journals are already good in itself. Many would work well even without additives in their blend. But the thing with many car owners is what the price?
which synthetic oil is best value of money
castrol RS RM125
castrol magnatec RM65
castrol SLX RM144
BP synthetic ( model don no) RM99
Motul 4100 semi synthetic RM99
any more.......
i'm using castrol magnatec too...but for SC....so far so good...
The Magnatec market can get around RM65-RM75 depend which shop to buy.
I saw caffour selling around RM85.

I find Q8 T670 fully syn the best so far in terms of quietness, free revving and minimal oil consumption. After 6kkm, it is still good, very minimal deterioration.
