use mobil one can liao la, KIC got a higher flash point for hard driving. If u dun track or everyday whack like got LTA chasing ur arse, no need to use too high end branded stuff. In fact, u might not be paying for the quality alone.

 

But if i own a car with a engine non re-con 5 yrs old with a mileage of 100k above for normal driving city/xpressway, i will use a visco 30 oil and maybe a 40 for on/off track purpose. Reason why is i feel that bearings, rods or watever has already reach the age of having higher chance to fail, so i wouldn't wanna add on the burden by using visco 50 oil that will require more mechanical movement of the engine to generate sufficient heat to melt down the oil which also can cause bearings to stress more at that age of the parts.

no la, just want to see if yours is the market price or not. Want to let go the 4L KIC unopened. Any takers?

[GuiNNeSS]

30 or 40 should be good enuff even with common brands for normal street use, just chg the oil more regular and flush it once in a blue moon to keep the parts healthy

wat u driving ???

[gentoro]

I have used Mobile one, Shell ultra, castrol edge and Amoil b4. Personnally i feel the branded are overhype. Not really significant also comparing to better FC or better hp.

 

Lately, I using CDGE, using house brand fully syn - abit of noticable different. Engine much more silent during idling, FC got 10% better. "I did remove my VS when I go for servicing thou". Could it be the EO or VS removal causing the difference?

well i dun think VS will affect much..

 

And EO does not increase hp, commercials sometimes brag abt it

[gentoro]

yeah but i was happy because a passenge comment that my car is more smoother and silent during low speed in carpark after using CDGE. Using same old spark plug and only change EO, EO filter, air filter, air con filter.
