What are the types of mineral engine oils? rating?

[Goodspeed]

then since 2 yrs, drive with mineral only" quote from u

 

anyway i think cxxxxxe is fully sys. so actually u are thinking of changing to fully sys is it??

[Genie47]

If mineral only, then it should be the 15W40 oil in the form of Delvac MX or go Malaysia get the Caltex Delo 400. Delo 400 sibeh thick. I use in my car, FC drop 1.5km/L!

[Shorty]

i tink i'll b getting de cxxxxxe for my 1st 1k servicing.carrefour at $30.

[Goodspeed]

thanks for ur knowledge... i was talking abt Xtraun who saying that he going to try cxxxxxe... which i am abt to tell him is it a fully sys.

[Mivec9]

thks for clarification octopus

[Mivec9]

i will run current caltex gtx for the 5k and then decide whether switch back cxxxxxe. depends on mileage.

[Mivec9]

was using cxxxxxe...understand it's fully syn.thks..

[Goodspeed]

ops.... sorry so u change from fully syn to mineral then now thinking of fully syn again?? why?? anyway how is caltex GTX? iheard people say not bad for mineral

[Mivec9]

hmm...quite average...so juz monitor first.

[Goodspeed]

mine's a package abt 58 bucks. simon from yew tew can offer me @ 52bucks for caltex gtx.

 

yes this addr. juz say recommend by red suzuki swift and octopus 1.3corolla and pisces corona cd.

 

 

bro ask u what is this package thing that is $58 is it from standford tires? mineral oil change is it?? anyway i found out that CAS is also abt $58 but with shell mineral oil

[Mivec9]

stamford using havoline formula 3 mineral oil, whereas cas using shell mineral oil....not sure the rating for both.

 

however think cas is very basic, got free car wash, no change spark plugs.

 

The ones i mentioned previously have spark plugs included

[Goodspeed]

oic... anyway going to change engine oil tomorrow... i usually bring my own oil and oil filter.. spark plug never change need to change. so thinking of going CAS as i think lab only $20 and i really only need the labour to change oil. nothing else. maybe give simon a call see what u do when changing oil. CAS very detail checking like engine idle check.. and somethings u dont get when u go into a normal workshop

 

by the way where u go for oil change??

[Mivec9]

spark plug normally can last 10k.

 

maybe u can go cas and try...quite a few of my suzuki clubbers said not bad. u can also try simon yew tee.

 

normally i go to sin min to do it. my regular mech...

[Goodspeed]

yup i using irdium plug last longer right?

anyway sin min mech? good? i normally go a hardware shop buy the engine oil and oil filter then go mech... cheaper that way. $25+$6 = $30 for material and 10-20 dollar lab lor.

 

how much he charge u>?

[Sgguy]

hi i bring engine oil myself go workshop change they charge mi $35 oni oso change oil filter so is cheap or expensive.

[Goodspeed]

?

where u do? u know the mech there? hmm from what i hear.. a bit expensive... what they do for u? just pour oil that all??

anyway if u are buying the engine oil (i guess) why not buy the oil filter there as well...still cheaper.

Hi there, I'm currently using a locally produced oil, three changes aledy, quite good.

Full syn 10W40, cost abt $40 per 4L, lab shd range from $15 to $20, bring your own filter...
