No need to change at 5K, change it only when 10K. Me always will change during my 10K

I just serviced my car last Saturday. Used Mobil 1 EP 5w30. I can feel the car quite revy.

Or maybe because the oil is new.  :smile:

I read, Amsoil also not bad.

What you mean by REVY? what is REVY ?
 
Are you refering to this AMsoil XLF 5w30 ?

And what about this
Royal Purple Engine Oil 5w30

30wt engine oil will give not only better FC but easier to rev up. And recommended for latio is 30wt for synthetic oil.

I am not oil guru haha.
But after reading so much, i rather take Mobil 1. WOuld love to try Amsoil but because it is out of stock then, so i chose Mobil.

Revy means you step on accelerator, RPM goes up easier, car accelerate faster and smoother.

Oic.. thanks! Wondering why the FC still not very good after first servicing.. My dad suggesting perhaps the mineral oil they use very thick as compared to the syn one..

What is the grade of Fasflo Synthetic Oil that TCM used? 5W30? 5W40?

i not too sure... but it feels quite thick leh.. maybe 5W40??

my engine & revlving sound  quite loud and the response is ABIT slow...

slow response = still can tahan.

Loud noise... really irritating

Next change i am trying the shogun. I am thinking of trying each type of oil myself to get 1st hand experience hehe

I am on redline 10w30 also. Find it is quite smooth thru out the 10k usage.
No problem to continue to use it for the next service. Another option is amsoil, the feel is quite similar also.

me too, every oil change, change brand and try something else. Now trying Redline 10w30. Used since saturday. So far so good, i like it, better than my previous Agip Xw40. Yeah maybe 30 is thinner hence smoother pick up & more responsive, but then again, its also quieter than the agip oil leh.

thanks '



Cars onlder than 3 yrs or above 100K mileage recommended to use Xw40 oil

new cars use Xw30 oil

u shld be changing to full syn oil ASAP. I learnt from my mistake. This will help u extend your free servicing period.

TCM in house Fasflo oil sucks to the core. 6K after running in, engine feel like choking noisy and sluggish like hell. I am a newbie and I a light footer to car so imagine if I tell u engine like F choking can be very jia lat already.

Subsequent change to Shogun, top up a bit of  $$ less tan $20 only, 10K into running no problem, intend to run long long coz full sync oil are designed to run to 15K.

quote an example to some Honda cars I know pple buy from PI, they start using full sync oil immediately.

quote another example Daihatsu car service frequency is 15K

to me mineral oil not bad, but too regular service frequency burns pocket, when I mean the mineral oil is the ones come from japan when your car ships with it. the mineral oil TCM use makes your engine loose the feeling like the ******** kena jam

My next oil change is X-rev 5W30

Use mineral oil at 5,000km oil change and switch to synthetic oil only at 10,000km oil change.

Why waste the synthetic oil and change it at 5,000km interval?

nah..  :nonod: i prefer th change it to fully synthetic sooner to preserve engine condition. of cos if i change it at 5k, most pro my next servicing will be another 10k then servicing due ba.

so any advise now which engine oil is better for our latio??

1. Amsoil XL Series Synthetic Motor Oil (XLF 5w30)
2. Amsoil 100% Synthetic Motor Oil (ASL 5w30 better or ATM 10w30???)

I heard that mineral oil allows the engine to break in faster.

Recommendations for major servicing which includes auto transmission oil change is at 20,000km intervals.

So are you going to renew your auto transmission oil change at 15,000km or 25,000km?

if thats the case i would change mine auto transmission oil at 15000 km together with the engine oil. i think its safer to change it earlier than late. so any recommendation for which engine oil anyone? from the choices that i listed below?

1. Amsoil XL Series Synthetic Motor Oil (XLF 5w30)
2. Amsoil 100% Synthetic Motor Oil (ASL 5w30 better or ATM 10w30???)
3. Amsoil Signature Series & S2000 Synthetic Motor Oil (SSO 0w30)

I'm currently using the ASL amsoil. The initial feeling is great, just as others, but after about 6- 7 K, feel that the engine is sort of rough.

My next change in next month would be trying out the amsoil SSO. Though it is slightly more exp than the ASL, but still cheaper than a lot of other brands.

This is just my personal feeling. Dun challenge me to prove it.

Used Amsoil and Mobil before. Currently on M1 because I lazy to go buy my Amsoil EO already. Used 0w20. So far so good until I change to 5w30. I can feel the diff. Now on M1, exp but not bad. Heh

Heading for 72K servicing soon. Considering to do engine flush or not. Recommend?
