Thicker oil mean your engine works harder and drinks more fuel. So you will pump more often and you will pay more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkl22 Twincharged June 9, 2019 Share June 9, 2019 When I went to the talk at Stamford Tyres at Lok Yang organised by MCF many years ago, I was told that even the oil by the drums at authorised distributors and trusted workshops can be recycled oil. It all depends on the integrity of the Workshop Manager.Same with cooking oil. Can also be recycled. Do you eat out? Or how do you know the cooking oil sold at giant is low spec or not?

Jamesc Hypersonic June 9, 2019 Share June 9, 2019 By the way when people think $30 is cheap oil in USA they pay for US$1.50 for a quart of Mobil 1. Its like saying go Geylang for a cheap 1 hour massage for $60. Go JB and for RM180 you get a lot more than a 1 hour massage. My fren tell me one.

Mkl22 Twincharged June 10, 2019 Share June 10, 2019 (edited) Unique singapore. Must be the most expensive choice, cheap oil if sell expensive, must be good.... If good oil, sell cheap, fake oil..... for the 1st statement, One local brand comes to mind. Supposed German sounding. I rather buy SPC or SINOPEC approved oil by merc bmw vw, then any other fancy unapproved oil which sounds good and expensive but bo liao in the end. Having said this I’m also perfectly fine using carlube for many years as it’s cheap or at least was cheap.
