Kklee 6th Gear June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Anyone have tried 0W-40 engine oil? any positive feedback? Same brand, 0w flows faster than 5w - better startup protection. 0w may have lower HTHS than 5w - better FC. Higher HTHS better protection. Quite sometime ago, used 0w on an old engine - more responsive revving but a slight bit more noise. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kklee 6th Gear June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 I bought the 9000-series 5w50. Have not tried but heard good reviews. Racing oil ? The TBN is 7.1 - maybe suitable for 5k OCI. Previously I used the 9000 5w40 - really thick ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibadog Turbocharged June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 Racing oil ? The TBN is 7.1 - maybe suitable for 5k OCI. Previously I used the 9000 5w40 - really thick ! branded as a racing oil but not a true hard core racing oil. It still has detergents. Some proper racing oils are pure anti-wear, no/minimal detergent. 40 weight not suitable for my ride. yeah my OCI is 5k anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Hypersonic June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 I used Mobil 0w40 and 5w40 and also both together in one oil change......all no diff to me 😷 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brand of the engine oil would matter more than the grade in my honest opinion. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trex101 3rd Gear July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 (edited) the sch 9000 5w40 and 50 are diesel oils, very thick Not really, this batch of Schaeffer #9000 fully syn 5w40 are tested at 13.7cSt@100'c while #9000 5w50 at 18.17cSt@100'c. Mobil 1 0w40 are around 13.5cSt so it's pretty similar in viscosity compare to Schaeffer, oh, they update their packaging to this also.

Sabian Turbocharged July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 I bought the 9000-series 5w50. Have not tried but heard good reviews. I think the 7000 is a semi-syn ` I have been using 7000 previously with 10k oil change interval. Then Amazon started shipping to SG. I switched. Will go back to 7000 again. Not really, this batch of Schaeffer #9000 fully syn 5w40 are tested at 13.7cSt@100'c while #9000 5w50 at 18.17cSt@100'c.

How come the new packaging you posted not on their website? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got their first batch of the new packaging bottle, so new that they haven't update their website yet but it think Schaeffer going to update their website soon. Anyone have tried 0W-40 engine oil? any positive feedback? To answer your question on 0w40. Fuel efficiency point of view: If all else being equal, 0w will give better flow rate during start up compare to 5w and 5w will flow better compare to 10w and so on. These generally will translate into better fuel efficiency within that viscosity (for example w40 oil) but a 0w40 will never be more efficient than a 5w30 and a 0w30 will never be as efficient as a 5w20. Protection point of view: If all else being equal, the higher the HTHS@150'c viscosity the better is the hydrodynamic lubrication but that's disregarding the boundary and elastohydrodynamic regimes of lubrication. The quality of the anti-wear additives will critically affect these 2 regimes of lubrication, that why choosing branded engine oil with advance additives package are important then repackage generic brand with cheap unknown additives package. So there's actually no best oil for all, you have to know what you are trying to achieve like best FC or best protection? like one of the Bitog forumers has said, i quote "the ideal oil are as light as possible but just as thick as necessary".
