Thwwx Neutral Newbie October 10, 2006 Share October 10, 2006 I am really curious where u get that nugget of information on? Any help is appreciated Genie47. I was thinking it is just another product contracted to many of the cheap sources in Thai, Phillipines or Malaysia, like what Castrol does. Japan will be cost ineffective, isn't it?

Panda Neutral Newbie October 10, 2006 Share October 10, 2006 the label on the H100 seems to indicate that its not meant for sales in Japan and Taiwan, which means its manufactured outside Japan and Taiwan. its bottled in Singapore i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzrmazda3 6th Gear October 10, 2006 Share October 10, 2006 (edited) Have heard of Motul oil before and i think it belongs to the Ester-Based type which is IMHO However, got no source on where to get it & the type of rates it offers Edited October 10, 2006 by Mzrmazda3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear October 10, 2006 Share October 10, 2006 Nope, for cars only its 300v series is ester based. its 8100 series is a mixture of ester and non-estare based synth oils and the rest of it is just normal synth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thwwx Neutral Newbie October 10, 2006 Share October 10, 2006 Motul is expensive because of their branding and advertising, banners at all prominant race series, sponsered world champion riders and drivers in the majority of racing series do not come cheap. There are other products that use high quality polyolester stuff that retails at less than Motul's dealer price! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear October 11, 2006 Share October 11, 2006 Why your car needs 40wt oil? VW, MB or BMW engine? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Neutral Newbie October 11, 2006 Share October 11, 2006 Manual says 20w50. Its a scooby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear October 11, 2006 Share October 11, 2006 Scooby can use 10W30. That is what the US guys are doing. If tracking, go up one notch to 5W40 or 10W40. If heavily modded with increased fueling, big turbo, blah blah blah, 5W50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazybugger 1st Gear October 11, 2006 Share October 11, 2006 But all the bros in the subaruclub recommend 40wt oil leh .. and they don't wait till 10K to change oil ... usually 5K to 8K change liao. I just got my 2nd hand scooby, but not time to change oil yet. Just wondering what oil do taxis use? particularly those new turbo diesels. Taxis have very high mileage and some of them really whack their engines. I'm sure they don't do weekly oil change right? whatever they use should be pretty good stuff?
