what engine oil you using now?

[HumbleCar]

I'm on amsoil asl 5w-30 and did my 60K service yesterday, never experience an increase in FC throughout the whole 10K and the engine is still as quiet and I was revving the car to 6k on first and second gear last week. The revving, however, did increase the FC.

So many good feedback on amsoil 5w-30.  Can't wait till my free servicing over to try amsoil man.  Got to wait another 28K km more to go.  Seldom go north type and car ride to office and park at office job type.  Patient, patient, patient.....patiently waiting for another 28K km more to go.

The other thing that gets changed when we renew our engine oil is the humble oil filter. Has anyone ever cut it open to see what is inside? Just curious.

28k?? should be 2.8k right? you can use amsoil during your 10k servicing as the free servicing only gives mineral oil, need to top up for synthetic oil.

oh, I thought only NPMP gives free fastflo synthetic oil, my apologies.

If you have signed up for NPMP, you will get free fasflo fully synthetic engine oil during your 10,000km oil change.

If you have not signed up for NPMP, you will be given mineral engine oil during your 10,000km oil change. You will have to top up if you want them to top up with fasflo fully synthetic engine oil.

It is 28K.  Milage when I post earlier was 12K (now milage 13K plus).  I got 2 more free servicing (1 under the CNY promotion package when free servicing is up to 20K and another one was from my friend who change nissan car to another brand and he transferred his last servicing under NPMP package to me for a token sum).  Hence, I need to pay only at the third servicing from now.  Hence, next servicing will be at 20K (1st free servicing), another servicing will be at 30K (2nd free servicing).  The third servicing will be at 40K, which I have to pay and which I will bring amsoil oil.  Therefore, it is 28K (40K - 12K).

I have been to Giant Tampines.

Look at the bottles carefully.

These engine oil are manufactured in October 2004.

Are they still safe to use even though they are unopened and sealed?

I see. recommended shelf life of engine oil should be 3 years and below. if expose to heat even lower.

Hi,

what is your FC using carlube? our ride is more suitable on carlube 5w30 or 5w40?
5w30 is more expensive..cant remember the price..

[Ying]

IIRC, carlube TripleR 0W30 is S$66+ at amk hub.

If both at same price, I will pick 0w30 over 5w40.

hey! i don't come here often, but the engine note of my latio sports is starting to get gruff just about 5000km after the previous fasflo oil change at TCM. Reading thru the posts, I think fasflo isn't worth the $$.

Has anyone here tried changing the oil themselves? I feel like changing the oil myself before the next 30,000km servicing. Should be loosening a drain-plug at the bottom and draining and replenishing the oil right?

[clarence]

You will need to change the oil filter too.

[vortex]

The job is easy but need to have a proper way to dispose the waste oil. You will also need a garage or workshop to do the job.
