Robo 2nd Gear November 13, 2009 Share November 13, 2009 2006 engine actually can try 5w30 or 0w30. u will experience better mileage and more power. however if u're mileage is more than 100k den go for 5w40. mobile 1 is not too bad, i nvr try before but have heard good feedbacks.

I've been using 5w30 on my 7yo engine with 160,000km mileage...so far so good leh.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
