Full Sync oil u change at every 5K meh? :confused1: :blink:

Yes, recommended to change every 10,000km or 6 mths whichever come first. As I am a low mileage user, my 6 mths is around 5,000km, so I just change lor. :smile:

In this instance, mineral oil should suffice should you change your oil every 5,000km at 6 months.

Of course, using synthetic oil is fine although I feel it is a waste of money.

I have always been changing my engine oil only when my mileage hits 9,000km to 10,000km, which is a 10 to 12 months interval for me. But I make it apoint to never exceed the 12th month.

So issues with all my previous cars, the longest one which I kept for 8 years.   :smile:

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.


I recall reading in a Shell booklet that if your engine oil is still clean even after some mileage, then your engine oil is not doing its job, unless your car is brand new.

The booklet continues to say that dirty engine oil indicates that it is doing its job of cleaning up the engine.

It a waste of money to own a car, so why buy one if you are able to drive.

Actually i totally agree with you. Afterall, we already spent so much $$$ buying our rides, what is a little extra TLC in looking after our rides by changing our engine oil n oil filters even if ahead of schedule. At least this way, you know your ride can go the distance.

haha, dun think so serious need to skip meals so as to change engine oil more regularly. I agree that if we can afford a car then we should be able to pamper it. I may not change engine oil as regularly as you but I definitely pamper it in other ways such as modding it, others may say I am wasting $ but hey, its my $.

Back to the topic, I voted amsoil but definitely keen to try out other EO(except fastflo) if there is any good FR on them.
