Hello bro. "differentshade" is actually spells as "differentiate". hehehehe.....btw, so how r u man? If I'm not mistaken "5W" means "5 deg C during winter temp" the EO is still able to achieve normalise flow without any heating facility - especially during cold start-up. Whereas the "30" means, viscosity at 30 cst (centistroke) when oil temp at 100 deg C. Usually our oil temp is btw the range of 80-90 deg C, meaning the viscosity will be at ard 35cst-40cst. Please don't ask me how do you define "cst" or "viscosity"? It will become very technical. But basically viscosity in layman terms means "resistance to flow".
Anyway, pls for other guru (like LMF) to give you a more proper and professional advices.

bro themostextreme, you see me too up liao, i no guru, i also learn from others and cut n paste from my finds online la bro kohkoh333 your mileage? most of the engine oil available in the market safe to use, just that what 'thickness' u desire only, depending on your driving style and all 5W30 safe bet, bit of spirited driving and better FC

Hey bros...got an engine oil additive to recommend u guys. It's called ProStaff engine oil additive. Got it from Giant @ $23.99 (offer price, original $33.99). 250ml for 2L engine and below. 500ml for above 2L. After pouring in the engine is much smoother and car feels lighter when 'whacked'. It claims that will reduce friction and reduce wear. Will also increase engine oil life and reduce fuel consumption. So far so good!
