Jujitsuka 4th Gear November 15, 2010 Share November 15, 2010 Bought it at the Giant promo @$27++ juz had it changed ut my useless Liquid Moly after 10k So much for long life oil and other expnsive what nots... I've tried Castrol, Selenia K & Liquid Moly All lasted me about 7-8k before engine starts to exp loss of power on the upper range 4000rpm and above... Today is the 1st day of my Fiat GP using the c-----e EO will keep you guys updated on its performance periodically. Thx to all the bros who gave so much info on cheap EO alternatives. Even my mech also says its better to stick to cheaper EO and change more frequently than sticking to high end premium EO's long life mileage claims of up to 15-20k km. 1st impressions so far are good juz like a normal fresh change of EO should feel... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klein Neutral Newbie November 15, 2010 Share November 15, 2010 being using this brand for my fiat GP for 4 years and counting. All i can say is that by 6k or so you will feel that the oil seems thiner already. Anyway i am changing it at 10k. However, when i know i will be going up to KL, i will usually change to a better EO just to be on the safe side. The reason i use that brand is because it is very cheap la. Can last me 2 servicing as i usually do not fill the EO until max. I will use 2.5L each time. anyway since it is so cheap, please do not expect much.

Tigershark1976 Turbocharged November 21, 2010 Share November 21, 2010 (edited) Saw quite a few positive remark and UOA at BITOG 1) http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbth...;Number=856269) 2) http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbth...p;Number=250693 3) http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbth...p;Number=238844 4) http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbth...p;Number=235068 so wanted to try it on... Just bot 6 bottle of 5W40 carl*be at Gia*nt earlier. With my calculation based on 3L/ oil change for my Vios, at 5km OCI. the cost is around $3.50/1000km, with other Fully syn oil, even at 10K OIC, the cost is $3.90/1000km to $6.00/1000km... I think the 6 bottle should be able to last 9 mths use for both my Vios and my dad Altis... Edited November 21, 2010 by Tigershark1976 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedream 3rd Gear November 21, 2010 Share November 21, 2010 bro, you preparing for war ah? 6 bottles? did you count in the labour, oil filter, and other parts you need to replace? don't get me wrong, I'm all for regularly replacement of oils, but I think it's more for the maintenance of the car rather than cost savings...
