Hi clarence

Sui... Good answer you have provide.
Is good for Autosaver also as they will always have "balance" in the last bottle for the next car hehe. BUT, if that bottle is OPEN for too long period, no good right?

Thanks.


High turnover of engine oil with their good business.

Workshops buy oil by the drum, not bottle.

3 mth for mioneral oil.

Usually 6 mth for synthetic oil.

I doubt many travel 40,000km a yr to warrant a synthetic oil change every 3 mth.

Hi clarence,

iagree. if 3mth for syn oil, is very costly already as syn oil can last for at least 10km.

Hi Jazz,

Jazz? Jazz is another car brand?

I feel Mobil1 is so so let, but i donno how to compare yet as i have not try Amsoil also.
So many type of EO, i thk we shld try one by one?

Btw, the Mobil1 (the balance one from my last servicing), can i mix with other Semi Synthetic EO for my old Wira car in msia?

Regards.

If it has been tightly capped, preferably for less than 12 mths, it can still be used.

Try not to mix mineral or semi-synthetic with full synthetic oil.

One should not choose engine oil based on the brand but based on the specs, like the flash point etc. instead.

Mobil 1 has one of the highest specs.

Surprisingly, Shell Helix Ultra specs is on the low side.
