I hv not tried it but we can try on our next visit to JB.

 

 

 

Oh one more thing. I noticed he selling the Green GS Yuasa MF battery. Made in Japan.

 

I checked for my Optra n he quoted abt RM300 for 85amh. Seems like too cheap to b true so I wil test him n order one when my battery due for change.

 

Lets see how genuine his price is? [sly]

 

I asked him 3 times to cfm the price n amh of the battery n he confirm its correct?????? [speechless]

i go sg workshop $50/alignment [sweatdrop]

 

 

All along I was paying abt S$50-60 for the 4 wheel computerised alignment in SG.

 

Now No more. In JB they seem to do it much cheaper. Most places I checked in JB abt RM30 so I guess its the market price there.

the bottles in the shape of a "R".. power.

 

I wonder what their TRIPLE R stands for?

 

Racing, Reliable, Renewable??????

And engine feels quite powerful after using it

 

 

Ive been using CL 40 weight since ty started selling in SG n hv no regrets till today.

 

Cheap N Good. [thumbsup]

Hey guys, i see lots of people talking about Carlube EO. Is it good and fuel efficient? The price looks reasonable.

Haven tried, but this far, the feedback has been good.

 

However, u may need to check with ur ws whether they willing to do for u.... Heard that the machinery at WS(s) are subsidized/sponsored by the oil giants, hence.....

 

Negotiating with the ws for a win win situation may be good. Got come, got go....

Schnell @ below $30.

 

Free also I wont take.

 

Previously tried RP, good till about 6-7k, then engine gets rougher.

CL can last 10k but slightly higher FC.

Amsoil is not bad but not cheap.

Penzoil Euro is ok but also get rougher and engine seems to shudder a bit in the mornings.

Mobil1 is good.

Now on FK Massimo Trimax. Wow shudder starts in the morning has gone and engine is quieter but will monitor how lasting.

Generally 8k is ok for most oils . Can drag on usage but seems to get rougher. Different cars like different oils so need to trial and error.
