Guys,

any recommendations and such?

thanks!

oil - Q8 F1 full synth- 10w-50, very good. heavy at first 500km but somehow a shift in chemical properties occurs after that, making your engine feel lighter. usual life 4000-5000km.

tranny oil - Endless - damn chun. no complaints
MOTUL - damn chun at first, apparently bulletproof. but theni think doesnt last as long as the endless.

End of the day, i think not much difference between them. just dont use 'minyak pelincir cap tiga kaki gajah' then you should be fine.

i use eneos semi-syn 10-40 only, change every 3k , now aredy 3 years using the same brand. i wont go for those expensive oil, because i think its all the same.

how often should you change the engine oil for the 4G63T? every 5000km or 8000km? and also is full syn and issit 5w-50 (cant remember the number).. what about gear oil, lsd oil etc? how often do you guys change them?

some ppl recommned 5k, but i notice i need to top up when it reach around 2k, so i might better change it at 3k. my car run on semi syn which is less than 100/4L

Hi Cow,

This was discussed many times before in MLOC forum. Would help a lot if you try search and I'm sure many discussion on engine oil would turn up.

As for which is good/recommended, you need to share your driving preference. Ie normal street driving or lots of uphill/stress driving or you for racing / trek use ? Difference application uses different greds of oils and brands. Ie, 10w-40 is usable for normal street driving but not for stress and would be good to go up by 15w-50. Whereas for trek, will be good to go even higher to the 60 to protect your engine but day 2 day driving with viscocity of 60 oil will be very sluggish for your driving experience, no doubt it is thick for protecting your engine though.

I'm using Motul 300v 15w-50 for normal street driving. Very pricey but is a good oil (esther base).

Hardly go on trek or stress so can't comment any other oil.

my 2 cents..

forgive my spelling mistake...trek = track. lolz

How about IDEMITSU japanese engine oil, full synth .. for street driving ?

 

[B18C-R]

I never use IDEMITSU before but by review that i've read, they seems to be quite good and reputable engine oil.

Marzuki, just use Motul 300V i.e competition,chrono .... a bit pricey tp engine selamat dunia dan akhirat....u can see the different if u have oil temp and oil pressure meter... bcoz it's ester base that maintain the viscosity of the oil.

castroledge i heard good things, but never got around to try it....

 

[EvolutionZ]
