[QUOTE="xtremeleo, post: 949463, member: 18941"] so, oil selection issue ya? here's my pov.. from my old cb23 to my current 4efte, to my dad's unser, ive tried more den 20 types of oil from 10w-30 toyota, to the most expensive castrol RS 10w-60. i can write down all of my experiences wit those oil, but its better not to bore u guys. thing is, castrol magnetec isnt the best oil around. it causes tappet sound during start up, for its thinner den those 20w when cold. after the optimum temp is achieved, then only the tappets sound disappear. as for castrol RS, its worth every penny, even if its also 10w cold, it doesnt gives out any tappet noise when cold start. y? beats me.. so, what's the best oil ive used? just as good as the RS but costs 4 times cheaper? its lubrioil, one oil change on my previous engine and it made all the difference. just imagine, i tried petronas, shell, pennzoil, etc. but nothing improved. cold starting was a nitemare, even have to play wit the throttle during 6am cold start. tappet sound was horrible, tak tak tak!!!! once poured in lubrioil, the next morning the car started wit a crank. only one crank is enuff, tappets sound slowly disappear, never to be heard of again. FC wise? well, if +-200km on hiways (previous RM1.52/liter, 4efte engine, kuantan-KL, nite time) for RM10 wit hard driving is good enuff for u guys, its okie i guess well, dats my experience anyway:) lubrioil mineral (iam using this, currently) RM35 lubrioil semi synth RM48 no need for a fully synth i guess, for the mineral stays clear even after 2000km (2nd service, after it cleans the internals during the 1st oil change) [/QUOTE]
