Special Tec AA 5W-30 (4 Litre) for Honda City 2016 1.5 Aspire recommendation

[itzahmd]

anyone has good stuff to say about M.M lube oil , “ the official dealers of liquimoly in karachi “ , i basically ordered molygen and an engine flush but they gave me special tec and a fuel system cleaner ( they told me that they’ll send engine flush too and i could keep fuel system cleaner as complimentary), i can’t be bothered to send it back and get the actual stuff that i ordered. Daraz seller was very helpful and cooperative . I am considering of going to M.M lube for an exchange but i’m not sure if they sell the original product or not . Any reviews ?

Dear why going for Liqui Moly?

Why not Shell, Total, Caltex / Havoline, Mobil1, etc.?

[saqibhassan95]

rather than liquimoly special tec AA, I will pick valvoline syn power

[itzahmd]

hahaha , aise hi maine socha try karlein i read a lot of positive reviews on amazon about their molygen , lekin ajeeb qismat , they sent the wrong product but luckily the grade was same and the seller was very cooperative accepting his mistake issi liye i hesitate on buying off daraz. Ill try changing it though with molygen .Next time iA i’ll go for the local brands as per your recommendation, learned my lesson​.

[itzahmd]

Firstly i didn’t pick special tec AA , i picked molygen 5w30 over liquimoly synth oil high tec. Secondly valvoline 5w30 is out of stock on daraz.

[itzahmd]

and refund option isn’t available abhi tak on daraz app, toh i figured ke daraz team will be very slow in refunding my monney too back in my wallet , so what do you recommend should i get it changed locally ? from the dealer i know of if he agrees.

[UAHMAD]

Please elaborate.

I am using Liqui Moly myself for the last 7-8 years. So I want to know, in which sense it is not advisable?

Respect your opinion. Just want to know something that I have been missing all along.

[itzahmd]

which one are you using ?

[UAHMAD]

10w40 with MoS2.

Dear IMO, Shell, Caltex / Havoline, Mobil1, etc. are some of the well renowned, reputed and respected brands, and their sales volume is much much bigger than that of Liqui Moly. Even this point is sufficient that these oil brands come factory filled in engines of some very reputed and respected automobile brands.

Shell, Total, Caltex / Havoline, etc. are available from many shops (when compared to Liqui Moly) and at very reasonable prices compared to it.

If I can recall correctly, I have never said that Liqui Moly is bad. Liqui Moly may be good, but to me, it is expensive, and accordingly, not value to money. Shell, Total, Caltex / Havoline offer more value to money.

I should go for Special Tec or Molygen 5W-30?

Now using kixx and not satisfied

And which gear oil and brake oil i should use ?

Thanks

[anon35615524]

Now using kixx and not satisfied

You may try fully synthetic 5w-30 from any of Shell, Total, Caltex / Havoline, or even PSO. Just ensure that oil is 100% authentic, and follow the drain interval mentioned in you car's owners / users manual.

If you are interested in Liqui Moly only, and want to spend huge, then SPECIAL TEC AA 5W-30 only!

which gear oil

Only Honda Genuine MTF. Its specs will be mentioned in you car's owners / users manual.

brake oil

Any of DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1, from reputed but imported brand, like Caltex, etc.

Local brands may be avoided.

I hope, it helps. Thank you.

I have used Valvoline Synpower 5w30 api sn+ ordered from daraz and believe me it is giving me same performance as liqui moly in altis 1.6 2018 using from 5 months and drain interval is around 8 months or 7k kms

Valvoline syn power is a really good oil
And best thing is, it's drain interval is same as liquimoly, 7.5 kms under severe
Paki awam usually ignores Valvoline, don't know why
I'm using amsoil SS in my car, but if had to choose any other oil than amsoil, it will be valvoline syn power

[saqibhassan95]
