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....... :)

ok, if you go north but not SP or PG. 5 hrs drive one way, rmp max ~3500. which EO will you pick?

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 :(


wah, dun pour down the drain hor. Last time I buy 2x 5L carlube, just nice for 3 servicing (one servicing only $20 nia where else to find?) sharing among family members.

Why do you need to throw away? You can always keep for the next servicing if you are sticking to the same brand of oil.

Hmm..... strange, by the way. How come nobody mentioned Mobil 1 Gold 0W40? Me been using this for the past 70k  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Engine also can be kept for lubricating house hold stuff, just like your bottle of Singer Oil. I used it to oil a 2nd hand bicycle I've bought from ebay.

If I'm not wrong, RR and Lorddraco are also running (or at least used to run) on Mobil1 Gold 0W40. Esso/Mobil station now seeling at $105, the last time I saw Autobacs selling at around $120 (quite long ago though). Can get for $80+ at a shop near Serangoon. I always get from there and then go to AS Defu for servicing.
