Doubts on engine oil

[Dennisk]

my car is 3 years plus...is due for 40000km....can i uses amsoil series 2000 0w30?

I dun think it will be any problem... but bear in mind if u use a less weighted oil of course the wear protection is less and noise from engine will be slightly higher... But FC will improved... hee hee... up to u....

You see, mobil one claimed that their 5W30 is a product of anti-wear technology so its rather confusing to egt different feedback.

Amsoil Series 2000 is really good. My car is new and I used to average <600km for each fill up. Now I get >700km. I believe the stock oil was 40, and Series 2000 is a 30 oil. However, you may want to find out more regarding using a 30 oil for a slightly older car.

Personally I think that while the car's age and mileage can be used as a rough guide for what oil to use, in the end it still depends heavily on yr engine's condition. In my case, altho' my bro's Iswara is 7.5 yrs old with 91+k km mileage, I'm still using Pennzoil 10W-30 oil in it without any problems like oil consumption. Used to use the ACE 5W-30 but had to switch since ACE JB shut down. Oh yeah, I've also been using Bardahl-1 for a few yrs. Some call it snake oil, but I still believe in it.
