Huntsman Neutral Newbie December 14, 2011 Share December 14, 2011 Hi chaps, Just pitching in. I replaced the Shell Helix Ultra in my Suzuki Swift Sport with this oil after doing a 2 step engine flush with both flushing additive and flushing oil. After which, i added LiquiMolly additive to this and poured it into the vehicle. I agree that the pick up is very smooth. The engine sounds quieter and the revs rest at a lower idling speed. Vehicle accelerates and revs quickly. Have been running close to 3 weeks. So far so good. I have clocked a mileage of approx 1,500km. Am intending to change my oil at 5,000km intervals. As I do most of my servicing myself, this is a pretty good oil for short interval servicing. Economical and cost effective. As good as it sounds, I am skeptical as to the origin of the oil... ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Huntsman, Another way to observed the oil quality is to check engine oil lipstick for the oil level and colour, I just checked mine before this posting, it still in max level and golden colour that has already clocked 4870km mileage. My previous Shell EO turns black in colour in just 3000km. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous Shell EO turns black in colour in just 3000km. Colour is not a good indicator of oil life left, in fact you should be very worried if after so long it still remain clear and hasn't turn black.

Joetaufiq Neutral Newbie December 14, 2011 Share December 14, 2011 CHEAP and feel almost the same like previous oil i used 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenblade Clutched December 14, 2011 Share December 14, 2011 Feel is one thing, but Oil is meant to be like blood plasma for the engine, carrying out all the toxic waste that may clog or cause harm. If the EO isn't getting dirty more often than not it means that the oil isn't doing its job. I've bought one 4l and will see if my Swift reacts well to it lol, currently using AGIP. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
