No need to change at 5K, change it only when 10K. Me always will change during my 10K

I just serviced my car last Saturday. Used Mobil 1 EP 5w30. I can feel the car quite revy.

Or maybe because the oil is new.  :smile:

I read, Amsoil also not bad.

What you mean by REVY? what is REVY ?
 
Are you refering to this AMsoil XLF 5w30 ?

And what about this

30wt engine oil will give not only better FC but easier to rev up. And recommended for latio is 30wt for synthetic oil.

I am not oil guru haha.
But after reading so much, i rather take Mobil 1. WOuld love to try Amsoil but because it is out of stock then, so i chose Mobil.

Revy means you step on accelerator, RPM goes up easier, car accelerate faster and smoother.

Oic.. thanks! Wondering why the FC still not very good after first servicing.. My dad suggesting perhaps the mineral oil they use very thick as compared to the syn one..

i not too sure... but it feels quite thick leh.. maybe 5W40??

my engine & revlving sound  quite loud and the response is ABIT slow...

slow response = still can tahan.

Loud noise... really irritating

Next change i am trying the shogun. I am thinking of trying each type of oil myself to get 1st hand experience hehe

i've been using RedLine since my 40K servicing, No problem at all..wad i like bout this oil is that even ur Mileage is due for servicing ur FC doesnt suffer. i've tried skipping one oil change to see how the oil responds, compare to others this redline give me constant FC of 13km/L  ;D

I am on redline 10w30 also. Find it is quite smooth thru out the 10k usage.
No problem to continue to use it for the next service. Another option is amsoil, the feel is quite similar also.
