i'm using conoco gold 10W-40 (RM72) i'm using this is because the oil is meant for longer drain time.. i change every 8000km, but drove before until 9000km only change with no oil lost. still at H mark on the dip stick. this is the best of all i've used. Shell helix is also good, but it is heavy as 10W50. can really feel the performance lost. |

Fully Synthetic Fuel economy savings type 0W-30 0W-40 5W-40 Characteristics Enhances engine performance and power Ensures engine is protected from wear and deposit build-up Ensures good cold starting and quick circulation in freezing temperatures Gets to moving parts of the engine quickly Semi-synthetic Better protection type 5W-30 10W-40 15W-40 Characteristics Good protection within the first 10 minutes after starting out Roughly three times better at reducing engine wear Increased oil change intervals - don't need to change it quite so often Mineral Basic protection for a variety of engines 10W-40 15W-40 Characteristics Oil needs to be changed more often |

sometime in our "old" engines, fully synthetic is too thin... will cause more wear and tear plus makan minyak hitam |
