Nutty 4th Gear April 22, 2006 Share April 22, 2006 How long do you wish to stress your oil? If you ask Genie, he'll tell you any oil will last 10k as long as you don't redline your engine frequently. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyuen 3rd Gear April 22, 2006 Share April 22, 2006 haha...more than 10k...maybe 12k i just did a search on BITOG, a Toyota did only 3000miles on CLTR and TBN=4.0. His pattern of short trip dirving (5km)is very similar to mine... seems like Schaeffer might be a better bet...but there are no UOA with the same short trip driving conditions as me.

Pisces69 6th Gear April 22, 2006 Share April 22, 2006 If u dont have any oil sitting in your store as a stand-by, u sud get 1 for your next oil change. I got 2 bottles although I already have 12 qts of RP sitting in my store. I guess cos it's such a good deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear April 22, 2006 Share April 22, 2006 Was there at abt 6pm & saw 3 shelves stacked with it. Can't quite remember how many bottles were there though. What do u mean "hope it works"? Of course it will work. It's more than enough for the normal family car. At that price, I just couldn't resist getting 2 bottles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear April 22, 2006 Share April 22, 2006 Hi Glyuen. I dont u'stand the TBN thing but does it mean that the oil is only good for abt 5k km? Very unusual for a fully syn oil nowadays. Now even mineral can easily last 10K km. Was it the same oil sold here? A 5w40 fully syn oil? Anyway since it's so cheap, I was actually thinking of changing the oil every 5K km anyway. If it's confirmed that it only lasts abt 5K km then I change every 5K km for sure. I also drive a toyota. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear April 22, 2006 Share April 22, 2006 Yeah. Now he pushing 30wt oil to prevent pple from getting from Giant again cos he lost the fight for the 40wt oil. I doubt his 30wt oil will b good price. He just up to his old tricks again. Also now he use different nick again. U know what they say about pple with many names. They have so many for a reason.

Octopus 3rd Gear April 23, 2006 Share April 23, 2006 haha...more than 10k...maybe 12k i just did a search on BITOG, a Toyota did only 3000miles on CLTR and TBN=4.0.

I believe the cxxxxxe you're refering to in BITOG is the "SJ" version. But now selling in Giants is the "SL" version, which is a better and more updated engine oil. Should not be a problem going for 10K OCI. Nevertheless, due to my small oil sump capacity which is only 3 litres, I think I'll go maximum 8k only, somemore the oil on offer is soooo economical.

PointyEwe Clutched April 23, 2006 Share April 23, 2006 I've been using CLTR on my 5 yrs + Octavia for abt 4 years now. Oil sump 4L. The car is serviced at 15'000km interval. No noticeable engine problem whatsoever. Car still running great. For most of us non-hardcore trackie, I believe we shoud just go for normal regular servicing recommended by the manual. In my opinion, going for shorter service intervals just because CLTR is cheap is a waste of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear April 23, 2006 Share April 23, 2006 In my opinion, going for shorter service intervals just because CLTR is cheap is a waste of money. ============================== I can't help but have to agree with you on this. I was about to do an oil change this monday cos I just bought CLTR & itchy to try,although I only clocked >6K km, but I just whacked my car last night & again this morning & it's still so smooth, I just can't see the logic of throwing away the RP still in my crankcase. I'll prob use the RP till the oil has reached the usual 10K km b4 I do the servicing. Then i'll have the chance to test the CLTR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiayong 3rd Gear April 23, 2006 Share April 23, 2006 I think it all boils down to personal preference and driving patterns ba. Cannot impose one's opinions as a general standard that everyone should follow. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
