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.

that's cool.... i never reach 12km/l b4 :crycry: mine is 40% HW, 60% city. I moderate driver and always hit ard 2krpm :unsure:
I asked TCM and they even use thicker synthetic oil (FastLo 5W40). Do I need to tune the engine when changing from mineral to synthetic oil? What's the recommended rpm? They set mine at 700rpm during idle

new car need thinner oil, i.e. low W number...
must rmemeber, must remember...................................
the "20" leh? for low temp i remember someone said it.
what if our new car we use 0/#? got such?

W is for winter.. ie places with freezing temperature.. but for Spore dun bother abt the the front number just look at the second number. rule of thumb smaller number equal thinner oil = better Fc coz lesser resistance but lesser engine protection

I changed from mineral to 5W-30 during the 10K servicing. Now reaching 20K, FC remains unchanged. :confused1:
I am going to ask the SE during the next servicing.

Sup bros, I have just filled me tank again. 5th tankful for 5w40 E.O. FC is about 13.9 clicks a litre. Getting better ;D. And I was being heavy footed most of the way altho I am 60%highway,40%city this time around. Might wanna check your tyre pressures too, a fellow Latio owner (CVT) is using the same e.o, and we are neck and neck in our FC altho I am 4AT. Will continue to update. I still think 5w40 is too thick... Kinda takes a long time if 5 tanks isn't enough to run in the oil no? Not to mention my second tank ran at 15km/l. Cheers!
