Can not be so fast oil turn black. first time came across this incident.

[Adawang]

used Mobil 1 before

looking for an oil that can give a silky smooth feeling when driving

[Tigerson]

Can buy Mobil 1 0W40 at $80 in yahoo. I bought it and send the oil for testing and the result show that the oil is genuine.

Black is ok.. but overtopping is bad. very bad..

[Dwoon]

What not exactly cheap...... its freakin expensive to me.... I won't pay this sorta $$$ for it.

 

If you use 50 weighted, why not look around for the mobil sale at either Carrefour or Giant. The last round, I got the 5W-50 at $56/ bottle (4 litres) or the 15W-50 at ~ $60 for 5 quarts.

use for another 200 km and see whether the oil is still dark and sticky. if happen maybe you will like to consider changing the oil.

bro... do you experience any lost of engine oil when using the mobil oils from carrefour or giant??

 

My previous corolla G9 was "eating up" the mobil oils (fr carrefour / giant) quite badly. A few of my buddies experienced that too.

 

Heard from some old time mechanics that the oil not suitable, imported oils not suitable for singapore weather... dont know how zhun is he...

 

Whats your take on this? Or any bros out there care to share their experiences??

[Adawang]

ok,

 

was using Mobil 1 at one time for a period of few years

will try around to see which one is the smoothest

 

mebbe try our MCF Amsoil next.

Yup, my experience on using Mobil 1 (from 0W-40, 5-50, 15W-50 extended performance) is that engine oil consumption tends to be more. (just recently topped up 3/4 quart)

 

Even carlxbe 5W-40 is not so badly consumed (but engine runs rough at ~7K kms)..... but they don't have a fully synthetic grade for 50 weighted and at a cheap price.

 

For me, I don't care so much.... if engine oilis low, then top up lah..... most importantly is that the engine must run smooth.

and I thot i m e onli 1 losing (giant)M1 oil in my car. Don remember needing 2 top up b4 using tis oil,n was tinking tat my engine is gettin some leak somewhere .strange findings we r gettin here.But tat again, cant buy ur mechanics theory tat imported oil not suitable for weather here we look at cold hard spec.
