Kopitiam EO talk: http://www.nordicgroup.us/oil.htm
Starbuck EO read: http://www.carbibles.com/viscosity.html (iagree, dont copy 100% and change to 15W50 hor)
                          http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.html

as any other reading, you cant just read article by manufacturer or research paper sponsor by them 100% as you "only hear the good stuff"

5W30 versus 10W30
Virtually all new passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. use either 5W30 or 10W30 oil. The difference between the two is that the 5W30 flows better when cold, so if you live in a cold climate or operate your vehicle in a cold climate during the winter months, you should use 5W30 if it is the preferred oil for your vehicle. If you live in a sub-tropical climate and don't operate your vehicle in cold climates, then 10W30 is acceptable as long as the manufacturer specifies that it is permissible to use it.

Amsoil
Amsoil actually makes some very good products. The negative image of Amsoil is due to their distribution method (MLM) and their marketing approach. If Amsoil products were competitively priced with Mobil 1 and other synthetics, and if I could buy them in a store, I would not hesitate to use their XL-7500 synthetic as opposed to Mobil 1. What upsets me about Amsoil is that they didn't disclose until recently (and then it was by accident) the real reason that their oils (except for XL-7500) are not API certified. In the past they came up with all sorts of bizarre excuses about the reason for their lack of API certification and this greatly contributed to the distrust that people have of the company.

Oil type     Typically used in....
5W-30   Cooler climates, like Sweden or Canada
10W-40   Temperate climates, like England
15W-50   Hot climates, like Italy, Spain, Egypt


So, the REV1's 5W40 is for cooler climates also?
40 is abt 30+

Amsoil is not API certified?  :crying:

Is it safe to use?

Will Tan Chong say that we used non API certified oil and void our warranty?  :confused1:

i think everyone need to look beyond how "thick" or "thin" an engine oil is...there are many more factors which are just as, if not more important in deciding the performance/quality of an engine oil...

i also bought from MX trading. They have a website too, mxtrading.com

I just did my 20k service and switched to amsoil 5w30. so far, i'm liking what i see for my fuel consumption :)

our engine can take 3 quarts. shouldn't be a need for 4 bottles to be opened. FYI please.

what bro itchy say is true, tcm sometimes use only 3 bottles of amsoil for my servicing, however, sometimes they do use 3.5 bottles  :out:, so i reackon 3 bottles also enough as when they use 3 bottles, i did check the engine oil level dipstick, also near max level.
