How about Mobil 1? My colleague strongly encourage this engine oil. How is it? Which contributes better fuel efficiency? 5W30 or 5W40? I saw 10W.. which one will be suitable for my HB V1 Manual?

5W30 for better FC, but depending on your driving style lor... whats your mileage now bro? dun bother about the 5,10 coz what matters most is the 20,30,40

Read the service manual n stated that recommended engine oil with grade of 5w30 n 10w30. Just change from redline 5w30 to amsoil 5w30.

Ya laa.....afterall, car is so expensive now. I bought X-Gold because there is a review and sponsored trial here. So I give a try. The last place you can still buy it, is probably Giant Parkway. I bought 1 spare bottle there. As it is.....so far so good for me..... API SM/CM compliant.

So you want your ride to be a driver's car rather than a passenger's car.
