Shibadog Turbocharged June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Visited IMM Giant just now - no sale of engine oil at all. But saw a display of portable car washer kit or something like that. bro, did u walk to the end of the section? they recently revamped their layout. the engine oil sale is split in two sections. 1 on the right (after car accesssories) for schnell. M1 is all the way dead straight, where they used to display body foam. Directions as per walking in fm entrance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about recommended how many mths to change but for fully syn oil, 15k km should not pose any prob if mostly highway, if always in jam, best to change around 8k km.

5936 1st Gear June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Do some justice to our cars. when EO was selling like $20-$30 /L, many stretched it to 12-13K km. Now that we can get it between $5 - $12/L, yet still want to stretch svc interval. Maybe it is good to consider normal mineral EO, and change it at 5K KM. My last few EO change is between 8-9k km.

I'm not sure about our side, but drivers in MY stretch it over 20k km due to mostly highway miles. To some others, it might be due to their work schedule, not solely on price la.
