Engine Oil

[Wasmo]

Have any one used Torco engine oils b4?How is it?

 

[DanzEterna]

as good as motul, used it before damn expensive but unfortunately the oil is
too thin for my car that caused tappet sound.

[ReLog]

So far the best ive tried is torco,engine performance better than motul that i use last time.

Using Motul, very good. never tried Torco, but for sure as good as Motul if not better.

[Snailed_trekker]

i used M7, royal purple and motul before.

i prefered M7 compared to those 3. engine revs lighter, engine sounds smooth.

Torco isn't API certified.

So technically they can say whatever they want and no one can say otherwise cuz it's their word against anyones.

Personally I'd go for a API certified oil, at least you know it's tested, proven and really does deliver what it promises.

 

[whatsiam]

how you guys measure more power? by "feel", after a service? or is it dyno proof.

means before Torco and after Torco?

I don't think that's a fair comparison. In any case, a before dyno and after engine oil change dyno will always show the after having better results.

I've tried Torco SR1, Motul 300V Power and now on Amsoil premium protection with zinc. TBH, there's not much of a difference between all of them. So, i guess, all depends on your budget.

by compare on the dyno is good to show result but how long can perform and what is the engine performance after 5k, 8k, 10k, 13k or 15k mileage?

wear and tear on engine oil is very hard to judge beside send some sample to lab test.

been using Amsoil AZO series for some time, last time i intro my friend to use Amsoil racing oil in his drag car... abit reluctant to use at 1st later he gave a try he say it was good in performance on par or better and best part is price cheaper compare to other big brand

this is my experience using amsoil signature series 0w30. its really good. noticed that no more knocking sound. i am not sure if it is the engine oil that caused my car not to have the knocking sound or not but it is certainly after i changed my engine oil. i would recommend this oil. i'm just happy with it. the oil level remains the same even after a lot long distance travelling lately.

Anyone use 0-20 engine oil before? Enos

 

[upontheriversky]

im using sr-1 5w20 on my car now, the engine was rebuilt not long ago.

just realized using a really thin oil can be a good substitution for engine leak test haha :D coz found out got leak after 800km which was not detectable when i was using synthetic 5w30 for 7k then sent back for overhaul warranty. been running for almost 2k ever since with no oil loss

plan to send for uoa after 7k to see if it does harm to my car. if wear is normal, might as well use thin oil.

i would suggest people to use the new amsoil 0w30 signature series AZO, the latest formula has Moly-Phos-Zinc like torco MPZ for anti-wear, calcium, boron and magnesium as detergent. Amsoil is sold at a cheaper price than most high end oil. the TBN number is so far the highest among all oils that i have viewed so good for long interval drain.

a virgin amsoil azo uoa

note the MPZ & BMC compound. TBN of 12.5

im going for amsoil azo on next change coz its cheaper than my current torco

just did checking on torco 5w20 virgin oil analysis, apparently it has way more anti-wear additive than amsoil for people doubting on torco since its not certified, although amsoil has more detergent / cleaning agent compound. number in bracket is amsoil number

Moly 1372 (130)
Boron 1 (232)
Magnesium 20 (12)
Calcium 1712 (3251)
Barium 4 (0)
Phos 970 an SL oil (652)
Zinc 1057 an SL oil (763)
Silicone 7 (5)
VI 100c 7.46 (10.47)

to conclude, if u looking for long drain interval / maintainability get amsoil, but if u like to high rev the engine most of the time torco is the way to go but change the oil every often
