Engine oil
Hi guys,
Just would like to know what type of engine oil using on your Lantis, which one you think should be recommended...I just changed mine with Petronas Sythium, thinking to try on Q8 or Royal Purple for next oil change.

Thanks, Q8 not recommended? Last time I always used AC Delco on my previous 1.6L, and so far have tried AC Delco and Bardahl on my KF, see how Petronas performed.

Actually magnatec is not bad too. But so far, castro edge sport is one that I would recommend.

- Defy Graviti is my Specialty -
Bought Petronas 10W40 because currently they have promotion and giving free gift. If Castrol, think only can use Magnatec 10W40.

ya..motul definately is a good engine oil but it quite expensive also..been using motul turbolight 10w-40 for my B8 and is very good. but too bad melaka dont stock this engine oil, so most of the time i only able to get from KL if i have trip there. Castrol magnatec also very good. next plan to use back shell semi + tufoil 
Blitz Racing Oil - 5w 30.....cannot really remember - but damn sedap....just haf to top up everyweek
Q8 semi - uncomfortable feeling....engine stress very high....
current - semi syn forgotten the name, got it form murali - suitable for daily driving, high rev also not too bad...

Wanna make sure 1 thing, just don't ever try to use IDEMITSHU... F***ing d*** light and easy being 'eaten' up... de oil pressure will drop also...

Use IDEMITSHU engine oil before, engine run very rough on cold start.
I see, so next oil change will delete Q8 and Idemitsu from my list. By the way, how much is the Endless 10W40? Where to get?

well i trust what ferrari uses!!! when mega bucks go into developing a motor oil with formula one u know u cant go wrong
smaller independant companies just dont have the budget or the technical know how to keep with the current petrochemical technologies needless to say ure paying a premium price for an older developed motor oil.
need i say more?
well thats unless ure going for Motul , highly recommended but be prepared to put up with higher FC and a lill free-er revving engine...
william, i got it from my fren...he buys by boxes, coz he also uses it. if u want u let me know...it cost RM100/4 litre.

Thanks Poon, will get from you the Endless oil on next oil change, the oil is SM grade or SL?
By the way, where you service your Lantis? Now I', one of the regular customer at Alvin's workshop.

Now been using Eneos Semi Syn...So far ok je...Magnatec been used before...And would like to try on m7 (Fully Syn)by Mutiara Motors.Anyone hv tried this oil before???
im using eneos semi syn too.this is very light oil.it's 5w30.good for fuel economy.im getting 11-12km/l mixed driving.but to my surprise,i have to top up extra bottle bcos the oil level dropped below L after just 1month++ of driving
I no longer use Ferrari-preferred oil (Shell) because Ferrari is now no-body in F1. No one remembers third or fourth place finishers. I only choose winning oil.. and right now my engine share the same lubricant with BRAWN GP... ENEOS... huhuhu... hehehehe
icyd id recommend u change to thicker oil..... an engine transplant is on ur list in future
Someone sent me an email about using cooking oil to replace normal engine oil.

PERCAYAKAH anda bahawa minyak masak berasaskan minyak kelapa sawit boleh digunakan sebagai minyak pelincir untuk kenderaan anda?
Malahan sudah terdapat segelintir penduduk di Negeri Sembilan menggunakan minyak masak sebagai minyak pelincir atau minyak hitam untuk kereta mereka tanpa menghadapi sebarang masalah.
Pengurus Pemasaran Sekolah Golf Michael Ismail, Nik Safian Afzani Omar berkata, beliau telah menggunakan minyak masak yang dibeli pada harga RM2.50 sepaket untuk enjin kereta Kancilnya.
"Kancil saya menggunakan tiga liter minyak hitam. Jadi, saya tuang dua paket setengah minyak masak untuk menyamai kuantiti itu. Dahulu, kalau servis minyak hitam, saya berhabis sehingga RM130, tetapi sekarang kurang RM10," katanya.
Jika dahulu beliau menggunakan minyak hitam semi sentitik jenama Castrol, kini Nik Safian Afzani menggunakan 'minyak hitam' yang dibelinya dari sebuah pasar raya.
Menurutnya, selepas menggunakan minyak masak sebagai minyak hitam, suhu enjinnya sangat rendah dan meter suhu tidak pernah lebih dari satu takuk.
Nik Safian berkata, ketika menghantar kereta ke sebuah bengkel kenderaan untuk ditukar penapis minyak, pekerja bengkel tersebut terkejut apabila mendapati keretanya menggunakan minyak masak sebagai minyak hitam tetapi mengakui ini merupakan alternatif terbaik sebab harga minyak pelincir pada hari ini sudah naik.
Sementara itu, pencipta alat penjimat minyak kereta berasaskan gas hidrogen dan air, Hisham Abdullah, 43, turut menggunakan minyak masak sebagai minyak hitam untuk kereta Proton Iswaranya.
Beliau sudah menggunakan bahan itu setahun yang lepas dan mendapati tidak ada kesan negatif menimpa keretanya.
Bekas jurutera sebuah syarikat Jepun serta graduan dalam bidang ekonomi dan kejuruteraan dari Universiti Arkansas, Amerika Syarikat itu berkata: "Minyak kelapa sawit merupakan minyak paling sentitik, tetapi kita tidak tahu mengenainya. "
Mekanik kereta, Mohd Tajuddin Jalil pula, mula mengetahui mengenai rahsia minyak masak sebagai ganti minyak hitam kira-kira dua tahun lalu selepas bertemu dengan seorang pakar minyak dari luar negara.
Sejak itu, beliau menggunakan minyak masak berasaskan kelapa sawit sebagai minyak hitam keretanya, malahan beliau mengenali 67 pengguna kereta di Negeri Sembilan yang menggunakan minyak masak sebagai pelincir enjin kereta mereka.
"Hanya minyak masak berasaskan kelapa sawit sahaja boleh digunakan sebagai minyak hitam. Jangan pakai minyak masak berasaskan jagung, sayuran atau kacang kerana minyak ini pada suhu sejuk akan menjadi beku," katanya.
Katanya, harga minyak hitam keluaran pelbagai syarikat kini meningkat dengan sebotol empat liter minyak hitam semi sentitik kini berharga RM160 dan minyak sentitik sepenuhnya, mencecah RM200.
Bagaimanapun, beliau menasihatkan orang ramai supaya menukar gasket kereta mereka kepada jenama yang lebih baik sebelum menggunakan minyak masak sebagai pelincir enjin kereta.
I dare anyone here to try on their V6 or BP/T/D
hehehhehe..... someone try la on thier 1.6 1.8 if ure planning to upgrade soon
a simple test will be enough for this palm oil.. just pour into the frying pan and heat it on gas stove for 3 minutes... it will be water-like in viscosity... it will be like dat also in your engine... save RM100 and lose RM1500 for new engine transplant.
Why no one consult Jason? He sells engine oil...lol
Anyway, have previously being using Q8 + Tuffoil. Not bad.
But soon changed to Motul and found Motul is more "smooth". Yeah, like Poon mentioned; Q8 more "rough" unless you add in Tuffoil. But than again, rough is good for old engine which cures my tappet sound. =)
Idemitsu is the oil they use for current Honda service. Have used it since I get my "supply" from a a friend working in Honda. Not my liking. But since I can get it "cheaper" I'm using it...... =P

Have u guys ever heard about one Italian brand called Selenia. I surely recommend it coz all my Fiat & Alfa customers love it... I felt like a never ending "steam"... (bahasa kasar skit)
2 litres cost 50+ only (they don't have 4-litres packing lar)
Er... Ferrari uses Shell TMO not Helix as their standard oil from the factory... But they still uses Selenia too
PS: Selenia is under Petronas now...
<Just Trying to help>
THINKING OF ANOTHER TRANSPLANT.... LOWERING CC TRANSPLANT
Wa dah guna magnatec more than 3 years... tthe engine feels good! But.. quite mahal maaa....
Next service will go for Havoline 10W40, now changing oil every three months, no matter what is the mileage is.

william,
i'm using endless engine oil 10w/40 semi synthetic. but i dont u recommend to use Q8 coz it makes yr engine very rough, engine very loud when high rev. its best to stick with what engine oil u r using if it doesnt give u tepet sound.
