AMSOIL rocks!

[Jailbird]

Hi,

 

I am new in this forum.

 

After reading through this thread, I am still very confused regarding the differences between the different grade of the Amsoil oils, e..g. 10W-40, 5W-30, 5W-40 and the series 2000.

 

I am currently driving a RAV4, so which will be a better one to used?

 

Thanks.

Hi Jailbird,

 

I'm also driving a 1.8L Rav4, 2004. Currently I'm using 5W-40 and the engine is very

smooth. So, Amsoil is a good choice.

Thanks bro Marcostan for your info.

 

Haha, I know you but I am not telling you who I am....hehehe

Jailbird,

 

Any intention to buy Amsoil?? Why dun let me buy one carton of 12 bot and u share

4 bot, then I'll get another 8 bot for my next 2 services. (It's cheaper to buy one ctn.)

 

What say u ??

What grade u go for ? 10W-40 or 5W-40

actually amsoil better or royal purple oil better? cos i thinkin which one to choose for my next oil change....

 

bro genie, 5w30 n 10w30 better fc then 10w40 n 5w50 right? which one better for old carburrator engine?

[Marcostan]

Bro Chiqinhan,

 

I hear that RP cannot last for 10K, duno is it truth but it is much cheaper than

Amsoil.

 

Old engine suggest to go for thick oil like 40 or 50.

 

Just my 2 cents.

Actually 5w-40 : 5w = viscosity & 40 = temperture range

 

Marcos, might be interested to try Amsoil for next service. How much to buy by the box?

[Genie47]

This is wrong explanation. 5W is the winter rating. Lower number = better cold weather pumpability. The second number is the viscosity of the oil when hot at 100 deg C which is close to the operating temperature of most engines.

Bro Marcos,

 

I have the intention to try Amsoil on my next service which will be due another 4 io 5 months down the road, I think. Very tempting to share with you on the bulk purchase but by doing so wun I have to disclose my identity to you....hahaha ......joking nia.

 

Whether to use 10W-40 or 5W-40, I have abolutely no idea what are the difference between the various grade of the oil and which is the suitable one to use on my ride, for that matter.

 

If you are using 5W-40 and it giving you good engine performance then I the choice should be obvious.

Bro Jailbird,

 

That's what I believe so, since 5W-40 is ok for our engine. I think I shall stick

to use the same rate. I'll buy one ctn of this 5W-40 anytime by end of next month.

 

So, when u need it just contact me here in MCF or in R4E. No worry u just need

to disclose your id 4-5 months later.

Bro would like to ask u if going long distance on NSH twice a month, which grade would be recommended?

[Cyberet]

bro, for this test, the higher the value, the more resistant, or is it the other way?

HTHS Viscosity, mPa

[Genie47]

Higher more resistant. Around 3.0 to 3.4 is very good.

[Seanboi]

Bro would like to ask u if going long distance on NSH twice a month, and 70% - 80% city driving which grade would be recommended? 5W-40 or 10W-40?

[Genie47]

Get a 10W30. It is good enough. If you can find, SAE30 will work even better for less.

[Seanboi]

but mine is a 4yr old engine leh... tink need 40 for protection rite?

FC which would be able to give the best?

[Genie47]

Nope! You 4yrs cover how much distance? People in the US cover 10 years still use 5W30.
