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.

I mean skip those dining at posh restaurants.  :D I have no choice coz I a low mileage user, so I follow time instead of mileage anyway heard alot of feedback that some EO will cause engine to be noisy or rough at 7K or 8K mileage, so me changing at 5K is not actually a bad thing. Currently using Amsoil so already bought Redline so may change it by end of this month. The next one may be tempted to try Motul 300V EO.  :smile:

10k- Ams S2k - Avage FC 14.5 , lesponsive
20k- Ams S2k - Avage FC 15.5 , lesponse drop bit but FC impov (AutoS ECU tune)
30k- Ams S2k - Avage FC 15 , lesponse drop , no ECU tune n FC drop.
40k till date - supid fastflo - Avage FC 15+ so far, car super slukish ( think due to supid TCM ECU tuning during FF challenge)

conclu - fastflo vs Ams 2k, Ams 2k will prob win a.e.t (after extra time)

I find that Amsoil is very rough after 8k or am I the only one?

Me too.. Engine sounded rough evenwhen stepped at 2k rpm...  Now with fast flo, not rough anymore. But FC drop quite a bit.

Suspect they use thicker oil for fast flo.

Yup. Now I using 40 series of another brand engine still like pretty smooth after 8k. Suspect is the thinner oil from Amsoil.

Think Amsoil has a few series of engine oil, of different performance.

If you pamper your car, can try signature series, else ASL or ASM 100% Synthetic should be suffice.

Hi,

5w30 or 10w30 is the same, in our region we are only looking at the second numeral which is wt30, the first numeral is for cold start which is not essential for our climate. Our Latio is said to be 3.3L in engine capacity, so 4Q is required. Yes you can purchase directly from MxTrading but won't get the MO or promotion price.

Mobil 1 Gold 0W40 :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
So far this is the best man! I hit 310km with only half tank, it use to be 230-240km on the average...

Also for those who want to buy Mobile 5W-50, Carrefour is selling it for $63.90, if you use POSB Everyday card, minus 5% cash rebate.. yeah!

Ya, same feeling. I don't have that kind of feeling with castrol 0w40, is it due to W30 or is it due to amsoil?
