Lubricant Discussion- Engine Oil / Gear Oil

[Xulfiqar]

expensive amsoil is crap yaar - drained at 500 miles from corolla 1.8 (felt very bad in it )

Supertech 5w30 from walmart @ 12 dollars/5qt - engine and owner both happy - (owner has more money in wallet too)

Why go through all the effort of wasting extra money by getting under the car, draining it, filling expensive oil in a cheap econobox engine and then draining again at 10-12K.

layout your cash on a brick - and light them on fire - its quicker and more fun.

Im telling you.

it also cures diabetes type 2 in one dose.

You have to drink the whole can or 2 cans, (technically it does cure - and we all know you cannot be diabetic when you are dead)

Pakistan is the best market to sell anything from "japaan, amrikaa, inglendd, jurmanny" - buy any auction lot from anywhere, peddle it to locals by attaching all sorts of hype to it. Print some cards claiming official importer.

print some stickers for people to apply to their cars advertising your khayp product for free along with facebook page reviews.

there you go - a full recipe to make a quick buck.

I can give 3-4 popular people a treat at some hi end restaurant and they will yap all day on Facebook about how great my oil brand is....how it makes their car feel so great

[saboor73]

The "FEEL" thing still makes me laugh when I hear peopling saying "liqui moly paya te enjun vikul sun hogaeya aee"

When inside me keeps on saying that how to tell them that engine should get slight noisier with fresh oil because its suppose to do cleaning part first

[mehrozniazi1]

every new brand comes with new claims ...i think only thing can be done is testing them .....

[SER_GTR]

LOL....Marketing had no limits....

Energy Conserving Engine Oil......Wah...

Oil Looks Like It Had Its Own Brain And Intelligence Features Also...While Other Sit Just Dumb On Racks

Looks exactly Same Beside That Fancy Tin Packing....! That's Surely A New Thing

If ones busted old banger don’t feel any better on superior oils it doesn’t mean the oils scam.

If someone’s maintaining a fleet than main aims is Profit and usually such fleets are replaced after hitting certain miles on the odo.

Look for something which works for your cars. If your shit box does not deserve better oil its definitely better to use cheapoo oil and change early.
If you oil change interval is 2000-3000 maybe try using dalda oil that might seem to work aswell who knows

When talking about “feel”
Whats the parameter for you to change oil or do something with your car? You science daans perform some tests to determine your oil life?

[Xulfiqar]

Yes it is

if your new banger is a cheaply made 4 cyl for a cheap econobox car - there is no measurement of feel on it.

And the manufacturer will have to be incredibly stupid to specify a boutique sourced ultra superior fancy engine lube oil for their cheap econo car. Like your average corolla, civic etc. etc. The manufacturer claims can be cross checked by doing some leg work yourself or paying for an oil analysis

e.g. new corollas run perfectly fine for 15000 kms on cheapo API SN 0w20 oil anyday in any weather. Why should one buy spendy oil on a car that is a literal donkeycart globally.

I can see someone buying a very high HTHS and low NOACK, very stout oil on a TGDI engine that is tracked a lot or runs under extreme stress (brutal high accelerations etc) But for a daily worker like a corolla/mehran/cd70 LOL... (read my post of burning cash)

I have seen people buy synthetics in frigid areas, e.g. our member @2c lives in Edmonton, its so cold there that polar bears find it cold. - All lubes in the cars there are full synthetic (even transmission as the oil literally gels up)

@margallar you are discussing brand in 2020 while we discussed engine lubrication in this thread during 2018

[rajaatta]

I think I missed the action stuff

[margallar]

Tbh due to sheer number of idiots and the fact that "idiots will drag you to their level, and beat you with their experience"

I shall not put more of my time into this.

[hash737]

this guy was running Entertainment on Wheels shop and fb page when he started selling totachi brand oil....I questioned the authenticity and tall claims and immediately he blocked me off from facebook page 2 years back....

[hash737]

Yes Xulfi, that happens when napaksuzuki sells a 2019 alto with 10w40 engine oil...the R06 engine which is advised by Suzuki japan to use 0w20 in it...when you put in 0w20 oil in that car you LITERALLY feel the difference because in that 10w40 usage time period car actually begs for a thinner oil.....

Also, No need to spend tones of money on expensive engine oils, a basic 0w20- fully synthetic engine oil does a great job.

[dms664]

the 0w20 oil by Suzuki is from which brand and api certification?

[saqibhassan95]

It's from total

[anc]

Suzuki is now offering 0W20 fully synthetic and now they do recommend to use this oil in wagon r and cultus also.

[hash737]

After selling wagon r for 5 years and cultus 3 years with 10w40 you are telling me they are recommending 0w20? They are selling wagon r cultus and alto with 10w40 in it. 99% of dealerships pouring in these oils and ruining innocent people cars.

[saqibhassan95]

pak suzuki recommends 0w20 for cultus wagonr and swift, not for alto (confirmed from official letter)
Yes they are offering 0w20 , but 99% of the time, ask for oil, they gonna pour 10w40 in all, alto cultus wagonr...
