decided to go with w30. Think 100k then use w40.

w20 or w30 is fine for newer cars of between 100 - 150k mileage

but if its an above 10 yrs old car better to use w40 for added protection esp if u are those whack and floor acc pedal type of cheongster.  :bleh:

Hi Tower22
Someone just mentioned about themayalab- please google it. They deliver as well. I'm using SS series on 20k, not much of a difference to me. Pretty smooth acceleration for sure. I went to Autoaid for servicing. Cheers

Thanks joerg.

Im using xrev for my 20-30k currently, going to change to amsoil to try out. Saw rev1 going for 49 bucks at autobacs, very tempted to try that first.. :out:

Is engine treatment oil/additives required?
