Rev-X ... A snake oil ? But it does make some diff in my car.... mmm

[Crazy5miles]

x-rev not bad lah. using 5w40. actually when u just service your car everything feels smooth. hard to tell the diffrence also

[Superme]

I have been using it for a while and i think its not bad .. holds temperature quite well

[Lexl]

I think Xrev has been in our local market for about 3 years now. It seems quite a few people have used it have used it with positive reviews. It is also API certified - http://eolcs.api.org/DisplayLicenseInfo.asp?LicenseNo=2380. So it is no snake oil for sure. IMHO, after running with it for a few servicing cycles, its better than the usual brand names.

[Furrynadz]

try at own risk

 

i know a few folks who got dmg engine after using this

 

more than 6k each dood to overhaul

[Axela72]

I have been using Rev-X for the 1st time. Now only reach 4k of usage and my car FC drop from 11km/l to 8 km/l. Engine start to be very noisy as I need to accelerate more inorder to pickup.

 

I thought my 2.5 yrs old tyre is giving me problem so I change them. but my FC is still remain the same.

 

It is possibility due to the engine oil? Do I need to change to other brand engine oil immediately?

 

Kindly advise..Thx

[Donut]

stop self promoting your own oil now.....

 

i know who you are because of your nick..........

 

you are the owner of this Xrev.

[Axela72]

Any advise?

 

FC increase can be due to engine oil?

 

thx

[Nkps]

why not u just try to change it back to what u used to use before and monitor from there, afterall, changing of engine oil wun cost u much.

[Killer5010]

Recently switch over to AGIP 5W40 and IK Plug, run in 10K. FC seems to be better (Maybe my driving pattern improves )and noise level is definitelty lower than before (KM service ).

 

I paid $88 for servicing with few points check ( Not sure what they did) exclude IK.

 

Will try out Castrol on my next service to compare the diff between the 2.

Hi All,

Anyone using Rev-X oil for their car ?? Me using it ... But i have some friends who comment tat it is a snake oil cos if u do a search on internet .. u cant find the manufacturer... But after i change to Rev-X i did feel some diff in the noise level and smooth ... or maybe just me? MMmm now thinking whether next time should change to Rev-X again after the comment ... Wat u guys think ??

 

i tried X-rev one to see what the hype is all about. and Yes... its all hype.

yes yes, the engine feels "smoother" and less noisy..... but, my engine began to feel extremely rough after 1000km?? which car doesnt feel smooth after any servicing?! anyways i had the oil changed out at 5000km (habit of mine..nothing beats fresh oil and plugs)

 

It also doesnt hold temp well... i was avg at 90 deg for normal driving.. once i drove hard it went 110. (cxxxxxe and some other brands only goes 95deg under hard driving for me)

 

If you guys want something with paper backing... why didnt anyone mention Tufoil? its in the Guinness book of world records as world's most efficient lubricant..... i'm using it with $28.90 Carloob and i can safely say the effects are far better than X-Rev :)

You think X rev has been around for 3 years? You "THINk"? Or you KNOW? Afterall u should know the best. Its your own company afterall.

 

Oh Per- lease.... Stop this dubious self promotion. YOU ARE THE OWNER OF X REV. Please do not post ur messages with the misleading impression that u are a NEUTRAL forum user and go raving about the oil and mislead everyone here. And feel free to go ahead to try to create another nick to post such messages again. We will uncover u again if u do that. Shameless.

how u know his is the owner?

maybe reseller?

got proof?

 

Lex,

are u the owner? might as well sponser a thread and post it in mCf?

[King]

I use 5W-30, smooth in the 1st 7K, then ......

 

No so value for money.

 

So far Castrol 5W-40 still performs better

i am a support of car lude, use 16k, still beri good, can redline every day

[Solar]

if you noticed the trend in this thread, those who said this, ahem.. good, are either 'neutral newbies' or 'clutched'.. clones?

[Ninafrost]

I can be very very sure he is the owner and NO he is NOT THE RESELLER. He also owns a battered blue colour Alfa Romeo. Like u suggested. He is better off paying MCF for ads then resorting to this kinda monkey tricks.
