Hi guys, sooner my ODO will be reach 15000 and it's the due ODO for
servicing my car..

therefore, i would seek advices from all the sifu(s) here

wht engine oil i shld change ? my waja is 1.6(AT)
so far any idea which brand of spec of engine oil is working perfectly
for waja 4G18 engine ? cos currently my engine oil is using the Petronas
Match (or March ) 5 frm PSC, this is bcos when i bought this car, it
given 3 times free service from EON (labour and oil )
so , as you know this type of engine oil is very low quality and it
causing my car less power ,yet very noisy frm the engine...

so,may i know if i change to better high quality engine oil ,does it
help? will it boost up the engine perfomance and less noise ?
as for oil filter , we shld use the original proton wan? how much will it
cost ? i heard is somewhr around RM1x+ ?

my dad keep advised me to use Mobil 1 engine oil
is this better?? compatible for Waja engine not ? any idea how much does
this Mobil 1 Gold cost ?

thanks and hope all sifus can give advices..

waja engine 1.6 mitsu only take 2.5-8litres engine oil.
so it save if u bought the 3litres.
ur car is quite early for fully synthetic oil, better to use it after 20 000km.
my suggestion would be is if u can get ur hand on castrol m-tec 10w-30 or
conoco hydroclear diamond 5w-30.

castrol mtec price is rm 44 3 litres
conoco hydroclear diamond is rm 21.90 per quart/0.946litre.

hi abang ikmal..
terima kasih for your advises..
so u mean for new engine like mine , better start using fully synthetic
oil aft 20000 mileage right ? ok ,got it.
so at least i have clear pic now what engine oil i shld use when my odo
reach 15000 sooner...

castrol mtec price is rm 44 3 litres ?
so u mean if i select this castrol mtec , i only pay RM44 right?
whr do buy this is cheaper ? Giant ,Carefour ?

labour for servicing ? i'm in jb ...

"as you know this type of engine oil is very low quality",
I consider Petronas Mach 5 a premium mineral based engine oil....read or
better still understand their service classification first......

the best combination is 10W-30 which is suitable with 4G18P... if u wanna
feel 'enjin ringan', easy to accelerate, go for Q8, if u wanna safe FC go
for ChemlubeThumbUp

for me, i'm using Q8 coz easy to accelerate compared with other engine oils
which i had tried b4. Chemlube enjin rasa berat sikit but can improved the
FC. other WPC member also agreed on thisTongue

if u at jb, then i recommended more good oil to u..

petronas oil is not that good for its price...but it not that bad idle.

i normaly buy oil from singapore..more chooice and cheaper..

but if u want easy access/get, look for cocono brand..selling at most of
BP gas station..

i am using Royal purple 10W40 from now..will switch to redline engine oil
in next oil change..

jadi bro pulak !! terkembang sekarang nie.

ok, my suggestion is get 10w-30 oil. mineral or semi is enough since u will
need to do 20 000km service or u will void ur warranty.

anyway, if they says this oil is just for perodua car, tell them bu1lsh1t
because its only happen in msia. u go to singapore or usa or uk n see
whether they have those kind of oil.

btw,correction
3 litres castrol m-tec semi-syn oil is rm49.
oil filter is rm 8-15.

better go buy at spare part shop coz it is cheaper but becareful for imitation.
