Why should i not use Fully synthetic in my 100k driven car? For my 200k driven car(original sealed engine), i am using liqui moly semi synthetic. The 30k km you have mentioned means around 20k miles. Around the world 20k cars are considered "like brand new"

GoodMan7 (GoodMan7) 2013-09-13 09:01:10 +0500 #6

Yes, fully agree that upto 20K miles the car is considered new.
Now there are few factors that cannot be ignore.

Performance wise, Pak. made or assembled engine’s life is not as good as European, American or Japanese Engine. Agree?
And so is the atmosphere and the quality of the Petrol, Parts & Filters.

So that’s why its wise to take the next step earlier rather than waiting for engine to cover its full mileage.
For example,
Performa 0/40 Super Synthetic, Company recommends to drive car upto 12,000 KM. but here we recommend to change it after 7000 max.
Performa 5/40 Fully Synthetic, Company recommends to drive car upto 10,000 KM, but here we recommend to change it after 6000 max.
Zic XQ, company recommends upto 12,000 KM, but we recommend 7~8K
Zic OW, company recommends upto 10,000 KM, but we recommend 5~6K

All because of same reasons as described above.
Hence the quality & workability of the components in Pakistan are not as good as compare with American, European or Japanese.

And also with passage of time there are different techniques to keep the engine healthy among which you are also using the one (of using liquid moly).

Most modern engines are built to the same spec around the world. Pakistani manufacturers import completely built engines and gear so there is no difference in quality. about oil change intervals, it's a universal practice to replace oil once in 6 months, with a good quality filter mileage can be prolonged. You are right about the fuel quality but still, a nicely maintained engine which runs on operAting temperature lasts a lot of kilometres.

Here are the informations for ZIC lovers (Petrol Pak./Japanese Cars)

ZIC XQ 5/40 Fully Synthetic
If you car is brand new. Use this fully synthetic oil and enjoy the smooth drive. This oil will make engine more than happy.
Change it after driving every 5500~6000 KM.

Once your Car ran ~30K, then use
ZIC OW 5/20 or 5/30
Change it after driving every 5500~6000 KM.

Once your Car ran ~60K, then use
ZIC A+ 5/20 or 5/30
Change it after driving 5000 KM.

Once your Car ran ~90K, then use
ZIC A 10/40
Change it after driving every 4000 KM.

Once your Car ran ~100K, then use
ZIC Hi-Flow 20/50
Change it after driving every 3000~3200 KM.

And finally,
Once your Car ran 130~140K, then
Better change car & buy new one. (haha..)

Note: Oil technologies are changing very fast. Perhaps within next 1 year, we have more brands of ZIC with more multigrade and more advance technologies/functions.

Where can we find complete range of zic oil?

Brother,
Oil quality does matter.
If i am running corola GLI in USA and using RedLine or Mobil1, then perhaps there will be no need for me to see the mechanic till 200K except for the regular oil change.
But if i am running same car in Pak. and using Shell or Havoline or Caltex or some 20/50, etc. then certainly i will not be able to drive it even 70K !!!
Thats why awareness of Synthetic oils is playing main role to increase the engine's life, performance, durability, comfort and endourance.
cheers !!

Brother,
Its rare to find all qualities of ZIC at one shop.
Because most people keep the running items only, like Zic HiFlow, ZicA & Zic D5000, etc.
Very few shops have Zic XQ, Zic OW.
Anyway, its better to call Zic's distributor, ask him at which shop is most reliable in that area and visit that shop.
Recently I found two distributors of Zic but in Lahore, their contact details are

0300-TDPDWPJ Mr. Iftikhar Shah
0345-T1TGAMW Mr. Mansoor

Or you can google Zic oil's distributors in Karachi and contact them.
Cheers & good luck.

Sir for your kind info, my uncle is using synthetic oil since day first in his BMW 530i the car clocked around 250k on odo.. Still going perfect on synthetic..
I personally think u are an agent of aic or whatever..
but dun misguide others.. Some engines are even made for just synthetics, how can u say that use 20-50w after 130k
Dere is a different world in automobiles.. Go ahead, see things after mehran..

no offence
