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?

Rgds

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 ;-)

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.

How abt amsoil EO  5w30 ???? , tot of using amsoil cos lot of bros here are using

"bout 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."

firstly, dirt goes to the oil filter.

secondly, no oil will still be golden. anyone who cooks will probably know this as well.

and thirdly, what i learn is that engine oil lubes your engine system, NOT remove dirt and carbon. if it does, why do we still need engine flush for?

and since as you mentioned if new car engine oil might still remain golden, i wonder WHY is it a must to flush out during our 1k svcing, just use until we decide to scrap the car. better idea?

Hi LatioR,

  I am not sure of the price. I was quote whole package include servicing plus change of engine oil. You can contact my frenz workshop to check it out. His name is MIchael (Hp: 91076995) from MJ Auto @ sin Ming.

OK. Thanks..shall check it up.

[LatioR]

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.

so bro Carmodz, still worth trying Hicom EO?

Don't be humble leh, you are the EO guru here. I do not want to disgrace myself with my shallow knowledge.

[clarence]

I really have no idea.

Please substantiate your claim that Motul is better than Redline.

Otherwise you could be misleading readers.

I will let the forumers and mods to judge who misled who, kay ? Did I mention Motul is better than Redline ? Is all up to each individual preference and feel. I just recommend Motul to Bro RG from my humble experience and see whether he find the price of Motul is justifiable of the EO performance.

You are really shallow minded and take this too personally just because you cannot get over the comments that you are the one who misled members all the while. Good luck to you.

[limck007]
