Genie47 1st Gear July 20, 2004 Share July 20, 2004 (edited) All you should be concerned about when you read the label: Just look for A3-02 and if you are a sucker for fuel economy, A1-02. If you are driving one of those GDI engined cars from Mitsubishi, I suggest you look for A4-xx. A3-02 means it will stay in grade. If it is 40wt, you whack the engine, it will not shear to pieces. Also means the oil is long drain. Can extend to 16k km if you want! A1-02 means oil very thin and lubricates fast. A4-xx means it got lean mixture operating capability. Something GDI engines should use. There is another magic one called A5-02. Basically somewhat like A3 and A1 combined. Cannot find an oil that is A5-02.

Redeel Neutral Newbie July 20, 2004 Share July 20, 2004 Don't use the engine oil until 16,000km lah... Not good for the engine's health... To ensure that the engine is well maintained, monitor the usage and go for servicing to change the engine oil whenever needed. Proper servicing schedules will be sufficient to ensure the engine is good thruout the life of the car. eddie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiorook Neutral Newbie July 20, 2004 Share July 20, 2004 how about A3-98? Is that equivalent to A3-02?? Is it just the year that the standards have been set? Or that the newer one is better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear July 20, 2004 Author Share July 20, 2004 I would say 16k km is the max. Most syn oil is good to 12k km. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
