From the right hand bottom at the back, the DOM seems to be 011219. I stand corrected though. The date of manufacturer is at the base of the bottle - 0518 Edited March 25, 2020 by Vinceng ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boonhat_91 6th Gear March 26, 2020 Share March 26, 2020 lazada bday sale ongoing, not sure if any good deals. Previously always let AD change my engine oil, last servicing I noticed they charged $23.50/L, so here I am venturing into cheaper engine oils.. a few noob qns: 1) recommended is 5w30 but can I use 0w30 or 10w30? Singapore has no winter so I imagine the W-rating means next to nothing in Sg context. 2) my ride is 1.2NA note, so it's as b&b as it gets. Quite heavy footed and mileage is 16-17k km/yr. Should I be too concerned about what brand of engine oil I use? Or even say Mobil 1 5w30 got a few different 'flavours' to choose from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should not be a problem at all whichever mix you use as long as w30. Brand of engine oil is more about the various additives in the oil but for budget conscious, any brand as long as cheap and reputable, it is ok.

That's what likely what is recommended in owner manual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic March 27, 2020 Share March 27, 2020 Many workshop don’t use 20 weight oil, even 30 weight oil also rare. They like to use 40 weight oil which to me is too thick. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged March 31, 2020 Share March 31, 2020 Engine oil with '40' viscosity is recommended for Singapore's hot weather. Offers better protection against wear and tear. https://www.quora.com/If-I-replace-10W30-engine-oil-to-10W40-is-it-safe-for-the-engine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic March 31, 2020 Share March 31, 2020 The temperature only 34 degrees. The engine already more than 34 degrees. So what does hot weather have anything to do with engine oil viscosity? Buy according to engine oil specifications not the weather in Singapore. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
