i was the one. Still using, but 9k+ already. coming 10k.
personally, i feel its good for the first 4-5k km. but when 6,7k km comes along, not as good liao.
noisier, less smooth. engine rather black.

About engine oil being black, it means that the oil is doing its job of cleaning up deposits in your engine.
If the oil is not black even after 6K or 7K, then it's a worrying sign or it could be that your car is still new, hence no deposits in the engine.

I used Hicom once. Have a similar experience as you. My car went for a gearbox change so hard to say if it was the EO or gearbox causing the slowness etc.
Anyway I am back to Shogun, I tried TCM base oil before but went to Shogun until i tried HICOM.
Have to say, my experience with Shogun is good.
I bo pian pay the extra to $$$ to TCM.
I guess after warranty will start to visit neighborhood service centres..will still buy Shogun but save on lab & time & hopefully some $$$...TCM always takes a long time to service the car ;-)
