Message: <blockquote data-quote="Slivia" data-source="post: 1293123" data-attributes="member: 3472">This is a tricky question for what enigne oil to use, there have several good brand of engine oil in our market like HKS, Motul, Redline, AMSOIL & etc. So for which brand to used, is up to your own liking. Basically when come to choose a good engine oil will have few factor. 1. What viscosity you need? Thicker or thiner? thicker = better protection but engine will be heavier; thinner = less protection, but engine feel more responsive. For turbo car like us using 10W50, 20W50 or any ?W50, bcos our turbo charge engine temperature is higher compare to NA engine, thus we need thicker oil to protect our engine even running under harsh condition of hot temperature & provide stable performance even at high temperature. BUT it doesnt mean, as long as you choose a Thicker oil 20W50 or 20W60, your engine will have enuf protection, because every type of oil will have a different Viscosity Index. 1 oil might have good viscosity during low temperaute, but not during high temperature. a good enigne oil will still maintain a good viscosity to protect your engine during high temperature. 2. Choose a oil with good Viscosity Index (VI). Viscosity has an inverse relationship with temperature Viscosity decreases with increasing temperature (the oil thins out) and viscosity rises with decreasing temperature (the oil thickens). The lower the VI, the greater the change of visc of the oil with temperature.  3. Please go for 100% synthetic. why? There are several key advantages to using Synthetic Oils: <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Synthetic oils have a higher viscosity index than mineral base oils. Synthetics have better resistance to thinning at high temperatures and thickening at low temperatures.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Since synthetics have little or no VIIs, synthetics last longer in service without radical changes in viscosity.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Synthetics have a much higher film strength than petroleum oils, so it take a lot longer for the oil to drain completely off your bearings and into your sump.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Heat is a major cause of lubricating oils failing while in service. Mineral oils begin to fail at 250°F. Synthetic oils can handle 400°F of continuous heat caused by friction and combustion.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Synthetics have better thermal stability and oxidation stability than most highly refined mineral base oils with inhibitor additives.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Synthetics have very low volatility compared to mineral base oils. Synthetics don't tend to burn off.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Synthetics possess unusual solvent power for dissolving gasoline and diesel fuel residues which enter the crankcase as contaminant byproducts from combustion.</li> </ol> 4. Value for money. Of cause it will not be a factor if your are loaded lah, then can go for those hoghest range. Spend your money wisely, if your car is ori, standard, street spec engine oil will provide enough protection to your engine, ofcause . If your car is modded, then u should choose racing spec engine oil to provide maximun protection to your car to prevent bearing burn out & other wear & tear problem. Motor oil is the life blood of a vehicle, not many ppl consider motor oil until there is a problem. why i know this? haha, bcos i'm 1 of this "ppl"..haha :)  So now is the bussines time...kekeke :_: I have this oil called Sunoco from Japan, http://www.sunoco.co.jp/english/product/racing/index.html on hand now i have:For Racing : Xpower 12.5W40 & 17.5W50For Street : Ultra Synthetic 5W40 & 5W50 I'm giving special rate for MLOC member ONLY!! For those who is interested can PM me or call me at 012-2698971 for your member price...:) Anyway, hope what i share with you can help you in choosing your own Engine Oil. :shades_smile: </blockquote>
