So for 5w40, amsoil or redline better? I cant decide leh Definitely Redline is better than Amsoil. You can try Amsoil first than after 5 - 6 mths try Redline.

SPC EO should be ok la but what to do with the balance 1L If you buy 1L x 3 bottles of Royal Purple only cost less $40 which I personal feel it may be better than SPC Dun try carlube, lousy EO. I replace after using 2 months.

I tried 5w30 and the result after a month are mileage not good and I believe more fiction coz getting more noisy from the engine.

Using thinner oil, engine sound will be louder. In fact FC should improve or same, no matter what make. I have tried using 5W-30 before, and FC seem the same but felt that the engine noise up a bit. No problem, run up NSH to Malacca cruising at 115 -120 constant and back to Singapore, oil level did not drop.

Engine more noisy is not because more friction rather it because of lower viscosity and free flowing of oil inside, theory wise, less resistance and better power.

Hi bro, I am using Amsoil 5w30 and Mobil 0w30 and engine is not as noisy as Carlube. By the way, which and how many type of 5w30 EO are you using? Thanks

Since lower viscosity has less resistance and more power... Why F1 dun use 0W20 or 0W30 engine oil? Reason is because engine surely up the lorry. Some of your statement is inaccurate. Please read below statement. There are other website also mention this too. "... ... The lower the viscosity, the more wear will inevitably occur. This is why it is best to use the proper oil viscosity recommended by the auto manufacturer ... ..." www.upmpg.com/tech_articles/motoroil_viscosity/

The reason for not using the oil we use is because of the extreme temp and pressure experienced in the race engine. Lower viscosity does not cause more wear, the oil is between the rubbing metal surfaces and it's there to reduce wear. What is important is the VI (Viscosity index) the higher the better, the stability of not losing lubrication properties..

Any different?

Tried Fuch, Carlube and unknown brand blended for one of Singapore petroleum company (not marketed then). All thin oil When I did oil change, some 10 years ago, the mechanic also shock to see oil drain out like water. Mainly normal driving with occasional NSH burst speed. No problem with engine mechanical encountered. Conclusion any good quality oil for normal car will do. Unless extreme drag racing where the oil get heated up until burnt and coat the camshaft. My experience.

Normal driving using those type of EO you mention is fine. Some feel it is ok and some dun. There is always a reason behind it. My Sister drove Mitsubishi and only support Motul. I find it too ex so just stick on Mobil and Amsoil. You can feel the different. Not sure you tried Redline before but heard some comment is better than Amsoil. I never tried before. You may want to consider it too.
