Most of the people recommending & trying to find the “Mobil-1”.
Well this is perhaps among best engine oils. But….. but…. But……., original Mobil-1 is absolutely not available in Pakistan anymore now. Few years back original mobil-1 (Made in usa) was available in Pak., but then a local company has its distribution. And now there are many small distributors sitting over in Karachi who are packing Caltex or Shell’s oil into Mobil-1 boxes. So never believe on this oil any more.
Shell, Caltex, Castrol, Toyota, etc. all are being re-packed in Pak. And we can’t believe the Quality of these oils any more. FYR, I used to use Toyota’s Petron, Zic’s OW, even Toyota’s 10-30, Sinopec, Zippex, etc. etc. but believe me, all these oils are full of **** and Engine’s performance is not perfect as it has to be.
These days there is a new company in Pak. trying to make its position in other oil companies. Its called “Performa”. Produced by PTT (Petroleum Authority of Kingdom of Thailand). Yet PERFORMA don’t have re-packing in Pakistan. Its new and hence distributers are supplying original oil in market.
They only have 4 types of Engine oils as follows
Performa 20/50 Partially Synthetic ~ Rs. 1800 Change after every 3000 miles.
Performa 10/30 Semi Synthetic ~ Rs. 2500 Change after every 4000 miles.
Performa 5/40 Synthetic ~ Rs. 3000 Change after every 6000~7000 miles.
Performa 0/40 Super Synthetic ~ Rs. 3700 Change after every 7000~8000 miles.
Super Synthetic (0/40) is the best imported oil available in Pakistan for New Cars (running till 30~40K)
After 30~40K, simply switch to Performa’s Synthetic 5/40. You will feel your Car very happy with this oil.
This informations are upto Sept. 2013. Maybe in the coming months, we have more best options available w.r.t. oils. But for the time, Performa’s 0/40 & 5/40 are the super excellent oils available among all other companies.
