branded oil is a quality oil?

[Supra_Fanatics]

- people who believe in MLM product
- people who don't believe in MLm product
- People who just believe Malaysia product\
- People who just believe US product
- People who just believe Japanese product

All is your choice. Each one tell their oil is the best. That's why I want more professional people to talk about oil here. And not those who just anti for meaningless

Actually it doesn't matter how they are sold or from where. As long it has quality and it doesn't harm the engine, it can be use. As long it benefits consumers. To me where it comes from or how it is sold. Is not really an issue.

You have to test yourself and see which EO that suits you best and also not much of negative feedback.

If want to be safe, just get from Tesco. At least no fake EOs or low graded ones or reused ones.
Even Petrol station is safe. Quality Control is there.

If the oil doesn't clean you will have problems too.....

Define quality like you mention Mobil 1. My VR engine is like 10 years old after transplant, and usually I don't stick to one oil. I have been like trying many brands, from Toyota, Castrol, Bardahl, Esso (those days), Mobil, Pennzoil, Blue.Sky, Duckhams, BHP, Tesco, Zeetex, Q8, Delphi, etc. and in fact they are all in the cheaper range as I never pay more then RM150 for FS and in fact most of them are in the RM90 region....

Since you using so many. I don't believe non of those will touch your heard. You just like a playboy...hahahaha..Anywhere is a good experience. Can give your own opinion or review?

I not agree on that. 5 years ago I working for a company supply products to tesco. The time they want to do promotion, my boss will make lower grade product for limited promotion only. Which make sure it still make some profit. The most important is, when something can sell in tesco your product will be famous very fast.

I know for sure promotional items are mostly clearance or just some nearly expired stuffs.

I use mobil 1...because its use (OEM) by the most powderfull car, Nissan GTR... :hmmmm:



actually because they are honest..
they say you can mix oil with different viscosity....
or change to or from mineral/semi-synthetics/fully synthetics between oil change, no problem...
and they also have high viscosity oil which is good for certain reason...lower is not always the best...

so honest...

How powderful?

isshh... Thank you Dr.Ixeo teach me english with proper illustration and now i know the "ingalichi".

Btw, just stick back the old brands such as mobil 1, shell helix, petronas syntium, caltex havoline and so on.

And there is very hard to tell or define what is "quality", it's subjective to individual. I would say shell helix is a good oil but there is someone saying it's soso only.

Chemlube I used also okay, since you can actually buy directly from them and they will deliver.
Tesco ones should be safe too. Spareparts shops, u never know.

I poor man, so use cheapest possible. As for review to me almost the same.
If want to really find out must send used oil for test....

To keep it really simple, if you find it on American Petroleum Institute and the API rating meets or exceeds the API rating required by your owner's manual, you're fine. If it is below or it doesn't show up in American Petroleum Institute you can kiss your warranty goodbye.

Motul, Mobil 1, Castrol, Petronas (yes Petronas), Shell, Total, Eneos are all safe choices, just make sure you check the rating meets what your owner's manual require. Modern cars are now going lighter in viscosity. 0w30 seems to be the rage for modern engines, and some even going to 0w20.

So like those Lexus FS and Bardahl that cost cheaper than manufacture price could be low quality or fake? RM90 for each. Where they are selling RM140 each.

Those at that price are group 3 FS. As far as I know the expensive ones are just overpriced for profit...
For example Shell Helix, Mobil and Castrol Edge are sold at RM200 plus, why then Tesco can sell at RM150?
If source from EU is cheap, then how can source from here is more expensive?
Why are cars from overseas cheaper then ours?:hmmmm:

So is safe to use from sparepart shops while the manufacturer price is higher? Sometimes I just think that could be bulk buy that's why they can sell cheap.

ya loorr bulk orders must be, they order 1 full contenna vs your 1 full box, sure cannot compete, if Tesco were to held a warehouse sale, bet Total SS Energy 7000 from 100+, (previous sale @ 89.00) current sale 69.90 can get @ 50 bucks maybe

Let Tesco make a bit lah!, if not we cannot get cheap oil too......

 

[stupidcar]

Anyone wants to buy bulk from Bardhal Malaysia?
Idk how much I can get but I can try asking them.
Talked to them before.
