Can send to Singapore. Wearcheck got Singapore branch. But got results already how to interpret? Its like going for blood test and the results come out and it looks like Greek to you. You need doctor to analyze to tell you if anything is wrong.

[Law_ong]

comparin with me....u are a genius...

[Prozac]

Yup. Good stuff at a good price too as what i've heard so far.

yup, get one bottle for future use. hope the date of manufacture wasnt too long ago.

 

so did anyone go down to Giant IMM today? any more stocks?

[Prozac]

I just got 2 bottles from Giant IMM.

 

Thanks.

 

is there any "expiry" date for the oil?

[Pisces69]

Oh OK. Near to 3M then is very close.

 

I buy Spore Sweep every month. Don't know when will b the lucky month so don't take any chances.

[Pisces69]

As far as I know, can keep for several years, especially if seal is not broken.

 

Oil got nothing to spoil like food. Maybe only the additives might have a shelf-life but that sud easily b several years.

[Prozac]

i realise i never looked at the oil bottle before for any expiry date. :)

 

hope these are not old stocks they are trying to clear

[Pisces69]

Hahaha. I also not sure.

I remember the Giant's cxxxxxe last week have 2 batch, one manufactured on last year July, and another one is last year Sep. I got myself 2 bottles of the Sep batch.

You think that is bad. Sunny, Latio and Protoge got 2.7L sumps (3qt) and their engines are 1.6L! Linus and so many others also going 10k OCI. Your Swift can make it to 10k OCI easily.

 

But theirs are the modern fuel injection engine.

Mine G6 still using carburattor engine, so I think its not as efficient and may result in fuel dilution sooner...

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.

 

Trying to consume faster so that can try out other engine oil available, such as RP, Schaeffer, etc.

Hopefully mine 15 years old car can take 10w30 oil....

You do not know this but carburetted setup runs leaner than EFI. Instead of the usual 14:1 it is 17:1. That's for cruising. You just have to avoid traffic jams a lot more. Helps more if you upgrade your carburetor to the water choke type. Coolant temperature reach operating temperature, lean out.
