You are using synthetic engine oil for your 1,000km oil change?   

In case you are unaware, oil change at 1K, 5K and 10K km service are free, even if you are not on NPMP.

Mineral oil is used for 1K and 5K km to help run in the engine.

IIRC, last few rounds of MO is the ASL 5W30, but the bottle look like XL. Why not try the Signature series, heard is good.

Heard 5W20 is good for FC?

[clarence]

Good for fuel consumption but am concerned about level of protection it can give for the stop go traffic and hot weather here.

yup bro.

but might be a little too thin as what clarence said

[iagree]

yup bro.

Thanks clarence.

Hi Vypez, if so, so what would you recommend then?

[clarence]

Generally, it is recommended to use '40' engine oil.

You don't want to compromise lower fuel consumption at the expense of protection for your engine.

You can imagine how hard your engine has to work to run that air con compressor on a hot sunny day at above 35 degrees temperature outside, even worse if car is stuck in traffic jam and there is no air to cool the engine.

And Latio does not have engine temperature gauge.

What happens if the red "high temperature" bulb in your dashboard blows or is not working when your engine is overheated?

Bro,
In SG no issue, but you frequent to MY for long trip, better use WT30 then. 

[iagree]

Hi Jazz,

Ya, i drive back to MY every 2wk.

So? is 5W30???? Not 5W20?

30 is more suitable for hot weather?

5W30 would be on the safer side. EO is meant for protecting your engine more on your behaviour of your driving pattern, not much related to weather. 

[iagree]

Hi Jazz

Thanks for sharing.
So, i got to remind Autosaver to use 5W30 Amsoil for my ride? Or will they hv Q&A with us to study our driving behavior?
