Currently just pass my 1K on the way to 5k engine seem to lag after the 1k service. I suppose it is the mineral oil which makes me wanted to buy EO for my next 5k service. a lot of you are using redline 0w-30. If we used it will it void the warrentry at TC as the recommendation is 5w-30.
Recently I got to know Mobil 1 0w-30 but really had second tots about going for it. Question like what if the oil is too thin what will happend... Please share your exp. I am a total noobe here. =)

First of all, EO is recommended for 10,000 servicing, so stick to mineral oil for your 5,000 servicing since it free.
Secondly, using different brands, model or viscosity EO will not void any warranty and definitely will not spoil your engine so no worry.
Thirdly, how thin a synthetic oil is still better than mineral oil.

but after 10K servicing, when is the most suitable period to change again??
fastflo = every 10k
Shogun = how long???
Amsoil = XL series, i heard can last 1 year or 24Kkm,
i wonder how true it is?
Even if u use Amsoil>> does TCM still ask u to go back every 10K to change EO??

I rather change my oil every 5000km or 10000km despite whatever oil claim they can lasts...imagine dust/slug inside...nothing beats fresh engine oil inside yr car when u driving.

There is no hard fixed rule on most suitable period to change EO, different driver have different driving habit and mileage clocked. Normal will advise you to change around 6 mths or 10,000km whichever come first.
If you used your own EO for your first 10,000km service, your next service will be 20,000km.
Of course if you are cash rich like Bro gho5tss, you can change every 5,000km or evey quarter. It up to you how you wanna treat your car. :smile:
