Recommended Syntetic Oil for 4AT
itchy:
Hey guys, my FC dropped to about 13.1 and 13.6 clicks per litre as compared to 15.2 on my second tank. Hmm I guess 5w40 is too thick already. I was being light footed some more. Now I'm being more heavy footed and true to what the observation says, maintaining revs of 2500 to 3000 is more fuel saving. Altho I probably only maintain around 2200 max or i'll be speeding waaaay too much.
Definitely gonna drop to a 30 rated E.O.

If you change from mineral oil straight to 5W40, definitely your engine and ECU need time to adjust. :smile:

Yes the front nos represent the temp. But is not applicable for our car in singapore weather. That is meant for euro country. So there is no concern.

Same. My FC also dropped from 11 km/l to 9-10km/l after changing from mineral oil to Amsoil 5w30. I noticed the petrol also play apart. After I changed from Caltex 95 to SPC 95, the FC increased a bit to 10+km/l. Still monitoring now... anyone with similar experience?

Not from me....I also change from mineral to Amsoil 3w50 during the 10K service, still can get at least 12km-13km/l
What is your travelling pattern? I am 60% HW and 40% City with a strong right foot. 1st gear always hit 3k. :D
Plan to change to redline 10w30 in the next service. Will compare between amsoil.
