i am always using motul and i think i have seen them for sale at Advance Automotive and New Type Mitsubishi in RMD, have u compared that with 8100's 5w40?

字典仔

Motul 8100 is supposed to be $12.95 retail + taxes per litre, of course u got a deal with oil change etc (just pm me)...

i have tried castrol, quaker states, mobil 1, royal purple, lubro moly, redline, motul and then i stayed with motul for 4 to 5 years now?! I can't say i have a lot of experience with all the synthetic oil, i didn't do any lab testing but just from daily usage, customer review, how often i have to top up oil (mobil 1 does break down quite easy), how long the smoothness feel will last me after an oil change ~ i dun go by "hey i can do oil change every 7k or 10k now" but i will change that oil earlier with purpose ~ if i feel a noticeable diff even at 2500 or 3000km, that means those oil is bad! of course, i used those testing with my Civic (D16Y7) engine and Subaru Impreza 2.5RS since brand new, and also on a 93 camry / 96 Volvo 850 Turbo when they have about 50k...

and motul is made in france? it's no JDM goodies...

also i just love how the engine sounds more quiet during cold start, smoother thru all driving condition, doesn't get sluggish easy even if i drive it harder or go for a long trip (even a lot of city stop and go traffic, say going from bby to rmd)...

all in all, do whatever u think is the best for your car; if u think it deserves oil change at mr lube at 8k or even 15k with regular top up, go for it ~ all it will cost is either getting a new engine / rebuild engine / get a new car...it's not going to harm...

我同5zigen多數行4000-5000km換一次油，落場就用motul 300v.......

想搵eneos 去new type 三菱應該最多貨

sorry, i do my oil change every 3000km, urs / parent's / sister's at 4000, and most friend's at 5000km max

xelloss: how much diff u feel after ur oil change? and mileage? if you dun feel much diff, similiar smoothness, that's mean those old oil are still good...if u feel "oh the car is so good now", that means those oil should have been long gone!

well...I do notice the better smoothness of the Eneos, compare to the Lubro Moly (i was using that one before the Eneos). Mileage...almost the same. 40 Liter 92 grade gas...runs around 500 to 510 km ...

maybe u should try motul some day, 40L for 92 grade gas ain't bad, but how often u floor it? with B18CR and i dun drive that regularly, i can still get 350 to 380 a tank; and i hit VTEC whenever i get the car warms up good too...

as for engine cleaning, and if you are already doing it every 4k, maybe u can consider 4 times with 3k, or just simply oil change at 2k twice, ur engine will be a lot cleaner (dun really recommand using castrol GTX if u have always been running synthetic, but his is used car u never know what the prev owner uses anyways)!

yeah i remember when i had D16Y7, i was getting just above 420/tank with Si transmission and not much hwy driving (work was about 5 to 10 mins away lol) and gf only lives 10 to 15 mins away; so i was surprised the upgrade for 100hp only cost me extra 50km/tank lol...(i have friend who drives like a grandy, got about 500km/tank with his ITR and civic's tank is 5L less i think, so i'm happy for 350/380 per 38L lol)
