Nutty 4th Gear October 17, 2006 Share October 17, 2006 Not sure what you mean by "good", but this is definitely cheap. Schaeffer motor oil @ S$9.25/quart refer to http://www.mxxxxxxxxs.com/Pricelist.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xcstacy Neutral Newbie October 17, 2006 Share October 17, 2006 Cheap, no good.. Good, no cheap.. The famous statement of the sales & marketing.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelpie 2nd Gear October 17, 2006 Share October 17, 2006 (edited) 1. Hey, Broquet not cheap leh . By the way, C a r l u b e is not just any engine oil manufacturer even though its product is cheap here. can check with Genie47. 2. I usually discard and change engine oil every 5K. So no point getting expensive one, which is suppose to be super long lasting. Regards, Edited October 17, 2006 by Kelpie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyboy 1st Gear October 17, 2006 Share October 17, 2006 i wonder why grocery getters need anything better for wrx n evo, maybe need big name brands.. but ur avg honda/toyota/hyundai? intending to try out schaeffer 5w-20 after running in period (cos stealer will change oil at 1000, 5000 and 10000 so i wun waste proper oil, use my super thick 15w-60 instead) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda88 Clutched October 17, 2006 Share October 17, 2006 personally i think it is ok to buy cheap engine oil but must backed by reasonable specifications...you can also go to BITOG forum to search for those UOA results. Some brand is surprisingly not expensive yet performing quite well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novicej Neutral Newbie October 18, 2006 Author Share October 18, 2006 Thank you for all your reply. I am driving a stock sunny, but i like to rev to 6k most of the time. I am too lazy to change every 5k. Normally i change oil 10k.I was thinking of royal purple but i don;t have their contact.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutty 4th Gear October 18, 2006 Share October 18, 2006 (edited) I think mxtrad-ings sell RP oils as well. Not sure if it's the cheapest around though. Edited October 18, 2006 by Nutty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda88 Clutched October 18, 2006 Share October 18, 2006 i believe u probably need thicker oil due to hirev..maybe genie47 can give advise on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear October 18, 2006 Share October 18, 2006 How long you hold the 6k? 20min? a couple of seconds? If it is just for a short while, you don't even need thicker oil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda88 Clutched October 18, 2006 Share October 18, 2006 If i am not wrong, u can look out for certain spec for your hi rev nature such as vis or HTHS.. but better let bro genie47 to explain to u lah...he is the oil man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
