Product : Engine Oil Discussion

[kinwei]

Not easy to ship in Engine oil. Classified as dangerous good. Need certain permit or so, if not wrong. Will be very costly. Buy off the shelves cheaper.

i don't think it due to being DG.

 

more on tax for petroleum product.

[kinwei]

Erm... Ain't sure. Cause it something like shipping chemical. If you going to air it in, there will be a certain dangerous goods or restricted article fee to pay. By Sea is more lax on the rules but the handling charges is also a killer if you don't have volume.

 

As of the local goverment side, I think you definately need to show them a certain kind of permit of where you going to store the oil abover a certain litres. The permit is by SCDF. Not sure about any additional tax.

 

So just buy off the shelves is cheaper.

[Hydher]

fully syn $26 +/-

 

per L

[Limhg]

Bad News ppl... I went to shell yesterday and the staff told me that they're pulling rimula R3x off the shelves. Now the only rimula u can get is the r4x. Which is a 10w40. No more cheap 20w50 HDEO around already. =(

Is it under jurisdiction of this Pollution Control Department (PCD)?

Thinking of getting some from Amazon, under amazon global shipping, free on orders up to 125 dollars.

Can share with some friends.

Anyone care to share on the Singapore side on oils?

To be sure, maybe you can check with Singapore custom. I just write what I think, I may be totally wrong too. If no issue, then let us know. At least we know there is one more lobang.

Thanks, will give Customs a call on one of my off days.

Can't find an online enquiry form anywhere on the web.

Hi fellow riders,

 

Currently i'm riding a 200cc scooter with high rev. 100Km/h ==7k rpm.

 

The recommended EO for my bike is 10w40. FC avg ard 30km/litre

 

Recently I changed a EO to 15w50 and the FC increases to 36km/litre.

 

I did some read up and to the extend of my knowledge, thicker oil actually lower FC for the trade in of better anti-wear protection.

 

But in my case, i have an increase of 20% FC.

 

Would like to understand why and should i stay with this 15w50 EO.

 

Any advice is appreciated ; )

[Hydher]

too much oil, bad fc.

better oils, eg synthetic vs mineral. synthetic flows better giving better mileage. or it just be a better oil.

also, better if you get an average as there could be some errors.

[Dominictsk]

Yo Hydher,

 

Thank for you reply.

 

I actually heed your recommendation and used the 5w40 Schaeffer 9000.

Then got motul promotion, so changed EO, however the mech poured in 15w50 motul 300v

 

Yup, I pretty particular abt the amt of EO that is in my bike ; )

 

By the way, both are full-syn

[Light_Emotion]

5w40 Schaeffer 9000 good? Riding silverwing? Or I should go 5w30 Schaeffer 9000 for better fuel consumption?

5w40 should be okay. Dont tink 5w30 in a bike in Singapore is a good idea. FC maybe slightly better, but doubt it will hv sufficient protection at the high RPMs

Wow used to be $16 or so at Planet...

[ki113r]

Anyone tried Verity? Is it good for Spec 3?

[slayer2cool]

Super4 best is with chex9000. Cheap decent full synthetic and it's honda so yeah can basically put low grade stuff and still runs damn fine. I tried castrol too but oil change interval was shorter cos it felt like the gear shift and engine wasn't smooth after 3000km.

I checked with my friend in shipping line, he mentioned if by courier shipping, the courier company will handle all the necessary shipment clearance but at a premium. Some don't do it at all.

 

amazon global saver shipping is only for books, disc and selected items.

 

That why I find it funny if they are able to ship for free.

My friend told me only able to go via shipping as per mentioned by you too.

Charges are sky high too.

 

These will be enough to deter me from buying overseas already.

Just changed this oil. Hopefully can get great fuel consumption.
