This is the kind of prices full syn oil should cost... its the same price if u buy in Japan actually. https://www.lazada.sg/products/totachi-extra-fuel-economy-0w20-engine-oil-4l-i286370351-s459260763.html?spm=a2o42.searchlist.list.7.30984000Ae8lzp&search=1 Totachi brand is from Hokkaido. The oil is made in Hokkaido 😍Their office is in Otaru... which I believe it needs no introduction for most Singaporeans Else u can consider Idemitsu SN/GF-5 0W20 as well.. the price is competitive also. Packed in SG https://www.lazada.sg/products/idemitsu-sngf-5-0w20-fully-synthetic-i347958896-s799930993.html?spm=a2o42.searchlist.bestshown_1.1.7ed544cejsVIdM&search=1 Oh Totachi! Has been seeing this brand around! $30 and its recommend, why not! haha But I guess I'll give Idemeitsu a miss. I bought the oil they manufactured for Honda, it's horrible.

Idemeitsu is one of the premier oil company in Japan. Their fuel prices tends to be slightly higher than Cosmos, Enos or even Mobil in Japan. Strange their engine oil tech cmi. Yes do give Totachi a try. It is highly underrated in SG only becos they are not actively promoting their products here. Very little to no marketing done locally as u can see. IMHO their quality is even better than Mobil 1. Mobil 1 and Shell Helix Ultra actually have bare min cleaning agents inside. https://totachi.com/ Singapore Official Distributor Asiapac Trading Pte Ltd 1, Tuas Avenue 1 Singapore 639486 Tel: +65 68613133 Email : [email protected] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohsj89 1st Gear November 25, 2020 Author Share November 25, 2020 (edited) Hi, I'm back. Almost done with my previous oil change with Mobil 1 0w-20. I am now looking at Castrol Edge 5w-30 C3. However, my manual stated A5/B5. I am unable to decipher from google if C3 is compatible over A5/B5 and needed advise on these. Driving a Honda HRV 2018. All advise appreciated.
