20W Engine oil for new vios

[Onlyyouknow]

Anyone using 20W engine oil for their new vios? Thinking of getting it for my 10k servicing... Dunno which one to choose, so many brands to choose from trex... Advice anyone?

AMSoil 0w20. i use it on my 2.75year car at 92000km. So 10k will be ok to use. But personally, i still like the AMSoil 10w30 best.

if trex try redline or royal purple lor.

 

if forklift enterprise, then is fuchs lor.

 

otherwise u can invest in mobil one, though is harder to find.

i used Schaeffer Supreme 9000 SAE 5W-30 for my 10k servicing on my vios...

 

finding it good...

 

it's quiet

there is also the 5w 20 from schaeffer, but its a semi syn oil.

[Nelmo]

yupz... that's the 7000 series...

 

oh ya... to add on for the engine oil that i am using...

 

it's nice for people who doesn't rev often... as some might find it a bit sluggish...

i doubt its the oil that makes the car sluggish. VIOS is not a car that's built for reving. take it easy on the accelerator and i think the car will do a good job than most 1.5l on the market.

Thanks for the replies so far! Actually I'm looking at amsoil, royal purple and mobile one. Price abt the same from trex so just wanna know its good enough for the engine. I don't normally rev above 3k rpm so I think should be okay. Most likely get the mobile one from trex (only $13.50 per quart for the 5-20W).

schaeffer semi syn will be good enuff for normal driving. mobil one u pay a little extra , but at $13.50 the price sounds reasonable.

[Picanto]

mobil is a more branded type of oil. we are paying for the name. i doubt the schaeffar oil loses out to mobil in terms of lubrication properties.

Amsoil ASM 0W20 is a very very solid oil, check out BITOG for more info.

 

Fuchs 0w20 is also very well received but the local stockist is selling it @ S$30/qt!

[Boyboy]

comparing fully syn to fully syn, i agree.

 

comparing schaeffer semisyn to mobil fully syn, i'm not so sure.

 

however, in my ride, i don't feel any difference between the abovementioned. haven't tried schaeffer fully syn yet tho

Im using amsoil i think is 5w20 at the moment, so far so good. mileage improved form previous oil. Now almost used for 12k liao. maybe this tme i try the 0w20.

Took Terence's advice and used the amsoil 0w20 for my 10k servicing. Will be monitoring the change in FC and performance (if any) since I was on mineral previously.

I fully concur with Garlic, Msoil OW-20 is a rock solid oil and value for money. Am currently on this oil for almost 2k and fuel economy is pretty good.
