Check your manual for the engine oil to use... How many K servicing? What is the engine oil used prev? personally using Redline, not bad, can get from mxtradings

can still use 5w30 if engine is still new but more than 5k less than 70k bah. this is for beta fc and performance. after 70k can use 5w40 liao for more protection, korean engine is less refine than japanese's so need more protection although same mileage.

bro get from mxtradings or kai guan, both also carry Redline products... for pica i dunno how many litres, maybe the fellow pica drivers here can advise u... FYI Redline engine oil comes in quarts (1 quarts = 0.946 litres), for my Cerato i need 4 quarts, can check your manual also... u staying where? Maybe u can try World Auto at Tagore Lane as intro by everein...

I had gotten my 3 quarts of Redline 5W30 from MX Tradings and went to RDY AutoCare @ AMK for my 10k servicing. Go to the sales thread to look for their contacts

always ask the mechs to fill in 2.5 quarts. if you fully use up the 3 quarts, the engine oil level will be overfilled.

I recently went to RDY Auto for my 10k servicing. Like Sky8807, it's a general practice to go for syn oil at/after 10k.
I also know of pple who kept using mineral / semi-syn and change at every 5k.
It all depends on you.

Xw30 is the all time favourite, better starting, im going for 90k servicing at JB, still Mobile1 5w30 is the best for me. Reasonable price and quality at Giant supermarket offer.
