Which engine oil will u think is better

[SoL]

say constant 130km/h @ ~2000 rpm for 1 hour?

4AT would be much hotter, I get 2200rpm at 100km/h. CVT can get 2krpm at 130km/h meh?

[Ying]

~2000rpm, sometime more when going up slope. It also depend how much stuff/human weight you packed in the car. Latio only show warning light when it gets hot, good enough for most people.

[rainboy]

Tried Mobil 1 5W-30 and Amsoil 5W-30.  Mobil 1 is slightly more fuel economical.  Amsoil feels more powerful.

If COE is high, get a 2nd hand.
If CEO is low, consider a brand new car.

For car insurance, hatchback/Sport edition will always be higher than a sedan.

However, do note that Nissan's car insurance premium is lower than Honda, Mitsubishi.

Oh izzit ? Currently running on Amsoil, already bought Redline. Actually plan to try Motul 300v, so if you recommend OWS is good, will give it a try. My bro-in-law telling me Moly EO is good. Haiz so many good EO around.

Hmm..... strange. How can engine oil makes a car more powerful? Engine oil only protects/lubricates the engine parts. It can only make the engine runs smoother but ........ more powerful??

[david1881]

When the engine runs smoother, that means it's running more efficient at less power lost, as a result more power will be available at the wheels.

Try to compare performance between full synthetic 30W oil and mineral 50W oil.

To me, engine oil is all the same. What is most important is to change them at regular intervals.

I rather spend $29.90 to get Carlube and change them at 5,000 interval, than to spend over $100 for Mobil 1 and change them at 10,000km interval (for fully synthetic).

Fresh oil is always best for car.

[spiff]

Buy Amsoil 3 botttles of 1 quart more than enuf for each change, even cheaper and better.

[totallypatrick]

Engine oil makes the car run smoother lah. Not more powerful. I've used Amsoil before and engine sounds very rough. Now I'm on KIC and it's ultra smooth and quiet even when rev hard.

Hi bro, agree with you on the amsoil oil, engine sounds rough after about 6K. Thinking of trying the SSO series amsoil if can't find better ones. What is the KIC oil, do they have the 0W30 or 5W30 type ? Can share how much and where to get ?

there is a inclination that would mean Amsoil is a cheap and lousy oil same class as fasflo

I second that..used to use carlube 29.90 last time, feel no difference from Shell Helix or Fastflo so definitely value for money.
Except the remaining 1litre or so always wasted, dunno where to keep, end up throw away

you are not wrong to think that way and absolutely make sense if you only drive the for point A to point B in singapore.. but for someone who drive up north frequently and enjoy revving high rpm and high speed, carlube is not a good choice for that group of driver....

so, the bottom line is there is no "better" engine oil in such case because it's relative and depends on driver's style and usage...... as long it meet ones expectation, that particular engine oil is better... but of cause if the discussion is about which engine oil is better in terms of specs on paper, i would say amsoil from the list above but that doesn't mean i will go for it....... :)
