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
