How to choose engine oil?

[amrancharger]

No matter what, I still recommend Chemlube Racing

Wah! That one like XO grade.....

All oil whether Mineral, SS or FS will sludge when over used, that is why we have Oil change Intervals.
Make sure the oil is changed according to your car manufacturer's recommendation and you are fine with whatever branded oil you are using.....

my statement is mean if afta 4-5k km.. everytimes done servicing.. change e0..still using the same L.Moly.. that L.MOly will clog everything.s

not overused more than 5k km or eo limits.. hehe



and he never recommended any eo to me.. he just tell me that L.Moly is not suit to used/stick permanently like other eo..

me n my family + close friends do everything's @him since a years ago without any problems.

With his statement that is why he cannot recommend any eo, because to him all the same.....

Bro., we also sharing info only. Even my mechanic don't know much on oil. For him he sells whatever is convenient. Since Mobil distributor is just next door to him, he sells Mobil oil, so when low on stock just ask them to send over....ha! ha!
Leave now, come back tomorrow.....

Ya, my aunt is using something just few bucks less than RM100, some Caltex Engine Oil Highest grade.
She got it very cheap since the mechanic shop is actually the direct supplier or something like that....

I was like ermmm...Caltex High Grade but cheap? She say cheap not cuz not good, is cuz they dont need to go
through third party for the stocks...

Should be the Caltex Havoline, but branded sometimes sell at list price one. Probably she got discount from mechanic....

Would not say is better but for the same $$$ can get the 0w-40 viscosity....

 

[cvkit17]

Actually...is there a big difference between 5w-30 and 5w-40? Coz my car spec for 30 but it is harder to find. 40 can withstand higher temp without major changes in viscosity..shouldnt be affecting much I guess if I use 40?

The difference isn't really noticeable on standard cars. Quite frankly it probably even feels the same. But for lightened, balanced and blue printed cars, the difference is felt. I haven't blue printed my car (the other 2 I have) but a xW40 and xW30 oil does have a difference in butt-feel for me. Right now I'm using Blitz 5W40 and personally I don't find it any more rev happy compared to my regular Pennzoil 5W30. The 0W20 I used in the past was even more rev happier.

But warning though, the lighter the weight, the more inappropriate it is for use on track or if your car is constantly redlining. I'm an uncle driver so to me the lightweight oil feels light for me and lets me drive more peacefully in some sense.

i think its more difficult to choose genuine engine oil as too many fake oils in the market now.

I agree ,now more and more fake oils，We are very worried
