wen i tested the Q8, for the 1st 3k km not bad, quite light and revvy, but after that really not good man, engine was so retarded, that's why i switched to Motul, sad thing is its dam expensive, i heard price also going up somemore :(

motuuuulll!!!

motul 300V chrono 10W40, i'm using it and found very good! before that i was using motul turbolight 10W40 and 6100 synergy, but 300V still the best! double ester ma, and smell good too!... but burn my wallet :(. Good stuff not cheap sad but true... motul coolant, RBF 600 brake fluid, gear oil i support all the way!!! and wallet burn burn burn! :S

 

[ondgennis]

ya...the Q8 semi sync is not that good...
like tony tony said...first 3k km is ok...but later it getting worst...

before this Q8, i was using castrol magnetec and i think is better than Q8 lo...

coming oil change will plan to try caltex semi sync lo...any feebback on this oil?

 

[sengasdf]

excuse me, my car is using shell 20W/50, I want to change to 10W/40 but some mechanic said not good to change to thinner oil for old engine cause it will burn out those oil.

By the way how much the motul oil cost??

 

[ondgennis]

3 years ago when i use it. it cost almost RM100 for the semi one :)

 

[tonytony]

MOtul 10-40 semi is at RM115 +/-. Very premium price. Good oil, but not suitable for the lash adjusters.

Currently now on MObil 5-50 full syn. Very noticeable diff between semi and full syn. LAsh adjuster noise is still there, but i'll wait for my second oil change then see how it goes.

Some have pretty good reviews on shell 15-50 full syn. Cheaper than mobil 1, so maybe i'll try that next

bro... i am using pennzoil... semi syn 10-40... oso gud... no tepet sound... but seriously dun ever ever use full syn... because ur engine would burn the oil so fast... make ur car makan minyak worrr...

 

[dc_rock]

just use total semi syn lor... not bad... having it in my car, keeps the temp down abit oso

 

[tonytony]

total semi-syn i've used for many oil changes....my foreman sells it with bonus points from total distributor. frm my experience, its not good for tepet.

bro K,

was ur ride experiencing any tepet sound at all before u switched to penzzoil ?

now on petronas full syn 15-50...no good. :(

 

[dc_rock]

total semi syn not good for tappet? why? got side-effects?

my friend who use to run BPD 410whp oso using the same oil... both of us quite happy with the outcome wor...

mind sharing your experience of using total oil?

 

[tonytony]

not say no good lar...but it din help with the tepet noise. did you have the noise problem before ? if you din, then i'm sure the oil is ok

 

[dc_rock]

no wor... i never had tepet noise before... i was lucky to get a superb halfcut.. but my aircond compressor is darn bising la... haha~! i doubt anything can be done about it...
