Recommended Engine Oil For Me

[Izso]

Got suggestions?

Cost wise Rockoil is quite good and slightly cheaper than Liquimoli. Penrite is 5L for almost the same price so it's cheaper cost per liter.

Anti-shearing and temperature stability wise Penrite, Rockoil and Royal Purple is awesome.

Sometime ago there was this brand Adnoc that had a pretty good full syn range called "Image". It didn't have great base stock but the additives in it were pretty incredible. Pity this brand is hard to come by now.

I've tried dozens of oils but haven't really put all the oils through heavy duty tests.

Anyone have feedback for Motul TRD? Cost wise is almost the same as getting 4L of Chemlube.

Interesting. Personally I've heard of Rockoil, but not too sure where it comes from. I'll need to dig into that, no doubt.

Currently still torn between Liqui Moly and Millers oil. My friend is offering a service package for Millers oil, oil filter and labour for RM155. Just a tad bit cheaper than the LM package at RM160.

Previously I was using the RM120-RM140 Shell Helix Ultra FS.

As much as I would want to DIY, too cumbersome, especially to dispose the old oil.

Ya, Izso quite regular at EA haha! He knows.

Yup, is disposing the oil is the problem. Since need to dispose at mechanic there, and already driving there, I just might as well bring my own EO and let them change. Done in 15 - 20mins max.

Same old thing. :\
But I have to change it as it really saves me a hell lot of money.
I have called Alam Flora and they have no idea who collects them.
Only the recyclers/foreman will know.

I'm actually not a "regular", just know the people there very well. I'm a DIY-er. I only give them the big jobs and big jobs are rare.

My rubbish collectors usually take the bottle of oils. I dunno what they do with it but they said they want it so I just give.

If got someone to collect and dispose still okay then. If not, will be like driving to the mech to throw.

Exactly, I did DIY before then don't know what to do with the used oil. Give alam flora they throw in dump site then that will be terrible. So I still let my mechanic do it.

Either that they sell to those recycling oil company.

As long as disposed off in the right way, not pour in the drain.....

Then repackage as xxxx brand

Ya possible. That's why not to risk to encourage all these, I still best to just do it at workshop as they have place to disposed it off correctly. RM15 - RM20 labour for bringing own EO is acceptable for me. 1 year only max ma Change 4 times EO.

Later garbage collector sell to people who creates new EO using Recycled EO.
