Genie47 1st Gear March 25, 2006 Share March 25, 2006 There was a thread on it with some of my rather acidic comments. BITOG got lots of talk on it as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saaber Neutral Newbie March 26, 2006 Share March 26, 2006 correction bro, Schaeffer is a good oil (not very) because of the low price that it is selling (so value for money lah) but there are much better oil out there but costing more so it will depends on what you are looking for. just my $0.02.

Saaber Neutral Newbie March 26, 2006 Share March 26, 2006 bro, have you tried redline oil before? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpark2000 Neutral Newbie March 26, 2006 Share March 26, 2006 (edited) Not tried Redline but know it's good oil ($20 per quart - bloodly hell better b good!!). It's ester-based. Why u say Schaf ain't a very gd oil? For the price, it does as good as, if not better than most syn. u see here.... BITOG folks nvr complain abt it Southpark The Dude EDIT: Let me put it this way, as long as it meets the specified standards of API SAE and u do yr OCI at 10k interval, most oil is good. Hence, it comes down to price and peace of mind. My price point is $10 per quart, and wan lots of moly for that px. Schaf. fits that bill perfectly, being a great oil (the BITOG folks UOA proves it), has some 250 - 350 ppm moly vs. redline of 650 ppm. Else, try TripleR cxxxxxe. Cheap and good. Wan something with branding? Try Mobil silver ($13 per quart). Redline is great but to me an overkill, unless u compare bang for buck at the $80+ region (vs. say Shell Helix / M1 recomm. retail price of $84+) Edited March 26, 2006 by Southpark2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie March 26, 2006 Share March 26, 2006 Because I have tried them all........if you have tried redline, you would have say otherwise liao....ask king, I just converted him to using redline....he now swear by that oil liao....

Southpark2000 Neutral Newbie March 26, 2006 Share March 26, 2006 My bro is using Redline oso....swearing by it. I was tempted, but the price is too much. His rationale was Redline price vs. Shell Helix price. Can get same protection results from Schaf at much lower price. In any case, SGporeans tend to change car like 5 - 7 yrs? Nid to "protect" long long meh? Just get a good enuf oil that protects and lower the cost of ownership. Our resident oil expert Genie was even using dino oil....

Maddriver 4th Gear March 26, 2006 Share March 26, 2006 i have tried redline 10W30 after using chemlube..feels no different ...both gives me smooth ride and chemlube is also ester based.. is 17 per quart..cheaper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddriver 4th Gear March 26, 2006 Share March 26, 2006 will give it a try nxt round..anyway i change oil every 5K even though i m using fully syn oil.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie March 26, 2006 Share March 26, 2006 protection is not the issue here but the great driving experience that you get from using the oil. redline give smooth operation and much better power.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpark2000 Neutral Newbie March 26, 2006 Share March 26, 2006 Wan great driving experience? Feeling of power? - go dwn to 20wt oil - pour into petrol tank a 1/2 bot Redline SI-1 fuel injector cleaner every 5,000 km (else FP60 will do the job as well). Damage is $20 a bot. Hence, Schaf + fuel cleaner = $52. vs. Redline $80+ per 10k OCI. - else change oil like nobody's business.... 3k OCI Southpark The Dude ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
