You guys opt out for the free mineral oil and supply your own synthetic oil ?

Keep the left over.. sometimes the engine oil will reduce over time, and you can use the left over to top up.. So it's good practice to check engine oill regularly.

yup..definitely enough...you should try to get some 1L bottles to contain the leftover amounts..our latios use approx. 3.5-3.8L per servicing..

New cars or cars less then 3 years old shouldn't have oil that reduce much esp in between our servicing.

Yeah.. I was about to ask that too...

Quite a number of drivers here also use Amsoil too.

I would say it's not as good as Mobil/Shell but confirmed better than FasFlo and whatever mineral oil TCM is using :bleh:
