Bro, I suggest u stick to more reputable brands IMHO....

how much does it cost? TBN a little low i think.

[Chucky2007]

if 4L of Rev1 cost around S$30-$40, can try.. but dun think it will last long as TBN is low at 7 leh.. the Amsoil i am using is around $60 for near 4litre.. but specs wise is much better.

if it cost anything more than S$45... forget about it.

Just to check does that mean Schaeffer 9k 5w30 also not as good? I have checked, the TBN is 7.1 only...

TBN is the amount indication of acid fighting additives but does not necessary means that the higher the TBN the longer the oil can last.

 

It's the TBN depletion rate that matters, Schaeffer is known to have very low depletion rate thus TBN 7 can usually last more than 10k miles (16k km) at least.

Do a UOA search in BITOG, there's alot of Schaeffer samples that last more than 10k miles.

Yes. Fully agree with Trex on TBN depletion rate.

i dunno the cost as this EO is one of the oil used by a workshop.
