Need some advice from the gurus of MCF. Thinking of getting EO from amazon, however, undecided whether to get 5w30 or 10w30. From my limited understanding, it seems that the number before 'w' is not relevant for local climate. In fact, more additive is added to the oil achieve 5 (from 10). Appreciate any comments/advice on this. Thank you.

Just changed to LiquidMoly 5W40 and my ride's pickup has improved noticeably ! It's weird considering a W30 oil should perform much better then a W40 one. The Carloob started well but engine became rougher and more sluggish as time goes by.

I'm getting fuel dilute. Got to go for AF tuning. This contributed to the TBN depletion and the TAN. VI depleted also because of it. Other than that, everything looks hunky dory. This oil is super cheap and super good at $5.50/qt IMHO. It didn't thin down according to some reports. Goes to show that even SL rated dino oil is good for the street car. Too bad Citgo has run its course with Terence. He no longer supplies it.

This guy takes the cake! He ran it in his 1.6L Aveo (same engine as our Optra) for 15k MILES! http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultima...ic;f=3;t=003188

This discussion is on easily available 10W30 lubes which also covers those you can get in JB. In Singapore. It is indeed difficult to find 10W30 oil thanks to the brainwashing that thicker oil is better for hotter climates. Main easily available 10W30 in Singapore is RP. Itself is a synthetic but my guess is this, if you are keen to run 10W30, most likely you will be keen to use a dino 10W30. Basically you are a cheapo. I know. I am one myself. M1 10W30 is available but only when Carrefour or Giant puts them out. Usually you find the 5W30 though it is not bad by itself but I digress because we are looking for 10W30 lubes. If you take the challenge to go up north, Shell and Esso-Mobil sells 10W30 lubes. Firstly, Shell. I have a nice yellow bottle of Shell Helix Super 10W30 specially formulated for Kancils, Kenaris, Kelisas or any car from Perodua's stable. At MYR36, price is hard to beat until you find out it is only 3L. Yes, they use the standard 4L bottle of Helix but you notice the oil is not filled up to the cap's level. Next is Mobil Super HP. Now this is somewhat a miystery. I have been to 2 Esso stations in JB. No Super HP available. I would guess it should be available in a Mobil station . I have not seen the bottle yet but from the discussions in Autoworld forums, it should be 4L at MYR32-36. Mobil Super HP 10W30 specs are HERE. Next is Ric-Tat I think. I last went there and he has 4L bottles of Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 10W30 there. The price is in the teen dollars. That makes it pretty much a bargain. TGMO is rumored to be made by Exxon-Mobil so it could be Mobil Super HP but this is not confirmed. Currently, I'm using Citgo Supergard 10W30 and it is only available through one individual online. So far so good.
