Hi Sambal
Would you mind sharing your experience on Shogun EO in terms of responsiveness and FC?
May I check what is the grade you choose and how much extra you top up pls?

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 ;-)

With the exception of a brand new car where the engine is still new and is not as dirty as an older used car, there's bound to be carbon & sluge built up in the engine over time, and the engine oil will naturally get "black" in removing these dirt.
If your engine is still golden after 10,000km usage, then there's a big question mark.
Where's all the dirt in your engine going to?
Can you share with us your views on what you learnt about engine oil and how it differs from mine?

Above is a good reference for all.
Let's take it in general and not brand specific.
The primary objective of engine oil is to cool & lubricate your engine and remove sludge.
In removing sludge, naturally the oil will be "dirty" at your next oil change.
If the oil is not dirty, then it may not be doing its job.
