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??

The Amsoil that we bought from can't remember his nick, the EO stated 1 year or 24,000 miles not km IIRC.
CustomGolf:
8k, 10k are all overkills, extended life engine oils has cleaning agent in it. Is suppose to clean itself of contaminants, most of us are using 10K as a guide because the agent says so. BMW (not Singapore) recommended service intervals for cars after 99 is 15000 MILES,
taking into consideration that we do have more start stop, make it 15000 KM which is about 38% shorter in distance will be good enough. But in order to have your warranty intact, it is therefore best to follow agents' recommended service interval. BTW, Daihatsu has service intervals of 15000km in Singapore, STS the only Japanese car agent that is doing extended service interval. You think they are taking a risk, I don't think so, so why is the other agents' service interval so much shorter? I'll let you be the judge.

CustomGolf,
I suppose most cars need to send back for servicing during warranty period, so the more frequent the oil change, the more profit for the agent.
I have a question for you which my colleague was asking me. He drives a 7 year old Suzuki Liana.
He travels only 8,000km a year, and wants to extend his synthetic oil change to every 1 1/2 years (12,000km travelled) instead of an oil change every 1 year or 8,000km travelled.
Is it safe for him to do so? Will it damage his engine?

same question here too.. cos Amsoil EO state 24k km... so if we drag till 12000km or 20000km then change EO, is it harmful to our engine??
LatioR:
hi all, just get my eo changed to shell HX7 (understand it's new brand), synthetic eo, 10w40 at RM$95 (at my cousin workshop), and get my engine flush, seem like my FC improved somewhere 20%after that. Not sure if this EO is gd. By the way, he told me can get it change at another 10k instead of 5k for synthetic eo (anyone can share if it's ok for synthetic EO to change at 10k).
