Nismonur Neutral Newbie March 6, 2011 Share March 6, 2011 Diesel 15w40 is too thick for normal petrol engine car, for old and high mileage vehicle still ok but the most efficient for newer vehicle would be a thin 5w30 diesel spec engine oil, the new low SAPS version is not cheap though but extremely good. tried delvac mx 15w40 on my commercial vehicle. performance definitely not on par with 5w40 engine oil, and worse of all my fc is getting worse. used to get 628km before pump light is up. now at 570+km the pump light is up. just change back to 5w40 oil. feel so much better and throttle was so light, easily speed over 70km/h without my notice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMouse Neutral Newbie March 27, 2011 Share March 27, 2011 For those into cheap oil...why not add Martini Super lube supplement to get additional protection to yr engine? It is made up of group 5 ester- diester polymer that is used in air craft engine...that coats the surface of the engine to reduce friction thus reduce heat and improves performance.. http://www.martiniracing.com.au/resources/...Lube%20info.pdf hi all... all my previous rides even till now... i have always believed in a good oil... i can imagine sludge built up in the engine and i dont want that to happen with a lousy oil used... my last 4 oil services were with OWS NA Racing... i have used before Mobile 1, Shell Helix Ultra, x-REV, spitfire, bizol, KIC oils, liquid moly,idemitsu, Castrol... etc. i have never used mineral or semi-syn oil... always fully syni & I want my car to be fed with oil from at least a company with abit of positive reputation... until lately... i read and found out about many cheap fully syn oils in the supermarkets... so far reviews have been pretty positive... so i thought to myself... OWS NA racing 4liters = $135 (average price) VX Super Syn 5W/40 - 5 liters = $23.80 (promo) schnell is 4 liters german... $29.90 or $39.90 cant remember... c@rlube is 5 liters from UK... ($28.90 with engine flush@Giant) or ($38.90 with oil treatment@carrefour) ($50-$60@autobacs) carrefour also has a full range of the new oil from x-gold or smthing... Giant only 1 from the range but on offer $27 for 5liters basic range one 5W/40. this VX Super Syn is made in SG... i have purchased 1 btl earlier (note this is only at Carrefour Suntec... Plaza Sing dont have) and will change today thursday afternoon... i will just change the oil... no sparkplug change... no cleaning of my air filter, (also no oil filter change cause no tools to take out filter)... thus i can do a proper test with my butt dyno... haha 2.5liters i will need for my sunny... cost=$11.90... for a 5W/40 fully Syn engine oil change... with $135 ... i can change my engine oil 8 times plus 3 oil filters... i hope this oil is really as good as it looks... so far i've heard c@rlube is ok no problems... Schnell is ok and smooth no problems.... and as i am only using it for 5k OR less, i dont forsee problems... i hope. if its ok i might even change every 4k... haha... the thing is nothing beats a 'new engine oil' drive... so if $11.90 is all i need to get it, why not? more clean oil time for my car should be a good thing right? hang on for the results...

MMouse Neutral Newbie March 28, 2011 Share March 28, 2011 You can say I work for Martini...:)...Actually all engine contains additives and these addictives helps the base oil performs to what they are suppose to do.... If you are really interested to try, I can work out something on my side..objective is to create awareness to this super lube instead of doing hard selling. pm me if you want...:)..
