Vit4wd 1st Gear October 1, 2006 Share October 1, 2006 (edited) http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/7528/ca...toroil5ljg2.jpg Looking at the above specs, I am unsure if cxx xxxe synthetic engine oil is suitable for local tropical use? It does not have the requirements of API SJ. Edited October 1, 2006 by Vit4wd ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arowana1 1st Gear October 1, 2006 Share October 1, 2006 it is SL liao le. grade is higher as the alphabet goes... current standard is SM but SL is ok for current new engines. have not seen any engine that demands SM or higher! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabian Turbocharged October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 Why are u always buying can't Lube oil from C4? GIANT also sells it... BTW, u & ur posting look familiar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weixiang_06 Clutched October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 (edited) seems like a "clone"... just registered today, and just to post about cxx xxxe... Gadgeter? Lukie? Moderators? Edited October 2, 2006 by Weixiang_06 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 Witch hunt. Witch hunt. I say we burn him at the stake now. I think that C4 guy has got us really jumpy. Let's play it cool first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolbreeze90 Neutral Newbie October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 Eh... dun really understand what you mean by whitch hunt or why that guy seemed to be marginalised but since this thread is about cxx xxxe, just want to give my 2 cents worth... To fellow forumers, I took a friend's advice saying that cxx xxxe was good and cheap and it was comparable to mobil in quality and cheaper then the latter because of lesser advertisment cost... Currently, i am goin for my second servicing since i have changed to cxx xxxe and i felt that once i hit 7500km, the performance of the engine really really drops... Not sure if it is physcological but i felt that the engine was much more noisier then before and less responsive to my right foot... Maybe someone can enlighten me on the possible causes to this... Previously i was using shell ultra and nv had this problem.... Thanks in advance!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Neutral Newbie October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 I know GIANT is selling but then when i went down on Saturday their promotion is OVER so ive to get it at Carrefour....if Giant is Cheaper i will buy from Giant but NOW Carrefour is Cheaper so i buy from Carrefour la Anyway when someone talk abt this oil u will find it familiar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weixiang_06 Clutched October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 dun know... maybe u can ask some very respected forumers, like lukie and gadgeter and etc... Lukie in particular.. Genie47 too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weixiang_06 Clutched October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 (edited) that is why i am giving cxxxxxe a miss. going for Mobil 1 Gold 0w40 servicing this sat.... Edited October 2, 2006 by Weixiang_06 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 Did u notice that when u type c@rlube, it comes out (*). This cos the C4 salesman for CL came in here & many other forums & tried to promote his oils using many nicks & tried to mislead the bros here. He has been banned to the tip of the Actic circle so his balls wil freeze into two lumps of CL oil. About your oil now. OK if u feel it dosent last the full 10K km (maybe due to your driving style) then just send for your oil change earlier like 7500km. I am also using the 5w40 fully synthetic CL oil but havnt reached the 7500km mark yet. So far the oil is holding out. BTW I boycotted C4 & got my CL oil from Giant IMM.

Weixiang_06 Clutched October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 To add onto what pisces had mentioned, some brothers here even use it at every 5k interval.. since the cxxxxxe is like so cheap.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously i was using shell ultra and nv had this problem.... Thanks in advance!! I'm thinking if you're to use LC20 from Lube Control together with C@rLube 5W40 full syn, would that helps to hold the oil out till pass 10,000km? The only tedious thing is that you will have to top up with LC20 every 1,600km to 2,000km. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weixiang_06 Clutched October 2, 2006 Share October 2, 2006 she mentioned about the rough sounding of her engine after 7k.... u can pm her or something.. or do a search.... but i doubt can search coz cxxxxxe is cxxxxxe, can't be searched Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
