Recommended Engine Oil For Me

[vr2turbo]

I think Proton simply set it at 20W50. Even my Persona is 20W50 so called 'recommended'.

Either that or their Campro engine not tight fit so need thicker oil.....

bro where can i get Penrite oil, what is the price range?

For a 5L bottle of their HPW 5W40 which is their flagship oil ester based, it's in the RM240 price range I think. I forgot to ask exact pricing. I know the distributors and they have a FB page. Blackhowling tried their Diesel variant in his BMW-D and he has given pretty positive feedback on the oil. Quieter engine. smoother sounding, etc. It's pretty much the same for me in my new car, and on my old wira, it did pretty well in my heat test.

(You can tell I'm a fanboy already. LOL)

Izso,

I didn't test with Genting, I tested around my area, quite a few hilly roads and I maintained redline with low gear for the test. Drove it around like that for quite a while and the water temp maintained.

But my thermostat is a 75 deg thermostat so it opens a bit earlier than the standard 85 deg one. Not sure if that had any affect on the test.

The difference is the additives and all in diesel oils vs my petrol engine oil la. We already discussed this sometime ago

My recommendation is Top-1 Engine oil.. But not so famous in Malaysia. Yes, its not as good as Motul, Liqui Molly, Amsoil... But for RM110 for 4 liter semi-syntetic oil, i must say this is the best for it price.

110 for semi? How is that cheap? PETRONAS / Perodua / Honda / Pennzoil / etc all are cheaper than that for 4L and at least they are more reputable man. How's the Top1 in terms of shearing, cleaning, etc?

Initially I thought he meant FS oil but for SS oil is not cheap. Top 1 is from the US, and I have used their FS before those days that comes in quart cans. Felt it is so so only. Even my ex colleague tried he also comment nothing special...

Tested Liqui Moly after Torco TR5.

Really liked the fact that with Liqui Moly, redlining my engine still feels surprisingly smooth.

Next change will probably give Millers Oil a try..
