[QUOTE="meinauto, post: 271949, member: 444"] Honestly, if you plan to change every 10-12km (which I would recommend), any oil that is SM, ACEA3, LL01 or LL04 rated is fine. That includes Shell AB 5w30 and the Petronas specially formulated oil (used by Sapura and AB Sg Besi) The only thing about buying oil from these guys is the farcking mark-up. It is ridiculous that they charge RM70 per litre. Hence, one might want to try Castrol 0W30, commonly known as German Castrol for in btw changes. It is specially formulated for European cars and you can buy it online in Malaysia for about RM40 per litre. Amsoil is also good but the viscosity available in Malaysia is slightly higher at 5W40 and the 5W30 is not available. I have a friend that swears by Royal Purple but i don't use it because it does not meet the required specs. There are other brands I would personally use but I can't find them here [/QUOTE]
