Car with mileage under 80K should be using XW-30, mine is way under that so will be looking for Xw-30

If you look under the service manual they also spec 5w-30.. I was on Amsoil 5w-30 then wanted to buy for 30K servicing.. out of stock

so bought Mobil 1 5w-30 supposed to be not bad too.. but can feel that the engine is not as smooth. 35K go change engine oil again

Hi,

Had been a Mobil1 user for 10k and 20k serving but changed to X-Rev during 30k service.

Engine alot smoother and quieter and more vroomz below 3000rpm compared to Mobil1.

Has anyone performed an engine oil analysis? Please share the results. Thanks.

I have tried Redline 0W20, M1 5W30, GC 5W30. FC about the same. Since my revs are usually under 2K rpm, I have no idea what the difference is in the vroom department. GC5W30 was the quietest, but only by a small margin. M1 5W30 appears to do the job at a reasonable cost.

Err....by default the freebie EO is mineral oil leh, last 5K tia, U can opt to use full syn oil to prolong your free servicing period.

Fasflo oil ah full syn somemore, I tried, 5K plus only engine starts to make noise and sluggish. Shogun a bit better, 7.5K make noise and sluggish.

Any bros here can tell me full sync oil ah, the color by right is what ah? mine when I check when just service is dark brown color when i pull the EO stick, now after 7.5K when I check again, I can see streaks of blackish brown......

Last time while on mineral oil I check it was yellowish or golden cooking oil color.

SoL · « **Reply #13 on:** May 05, 2009, 04:19:48 PM »

If it retains it's pure golden color, it's not doing it job!

Its normal for EO to turn brown or black after time.

Jazz · « **Reply #14 on:** May 05, 2009, 04:20:13 PM »

All oil suppose to be golden brown color ? I using Amsoil, now only 3000km due to low mileage user, just check my dip stick last week, not much color change.
