may I know the product you mentioned above? I've discover minor oil leak around the valve cover on my 2005 hyundai, I'm not familiar with engine component name so I might be wrong. previously running shell helix hx7 10w40 semi synthetic on this car, changed oil every 5000km in south east asia...

Okay thank you guys for your input, I understand the different between meg 16 & 26 now after reading. About the turtle wax platinum ultra gloss, I think it's good for my dad cars or perhaps I can get another tin of meg 16 for him. :)

ya I've read about positive comment on meg nxt paste wax, too bad it's out of my budget. And the coll 476s, I can't find it here, so it may out of the list too.. my dad bought a tw platinum for his car last week, so I might try to get the meg #16 or meg #26 for my own car and my sister car...

I'm trying to do the detailing but i'm a newbie in this, so i'm try to get some suggestion. From what i've read, the meguiar #16 paste is a long lasting product and it's expensive too. So i'm thinking to get the turtle wax platinum ultra gloss paste since it is cheaper than meguiar #16 around...

Thank you guys! It's has give me confident to use havoline ds 10w30 in my sister car and havoline ds 10w40 in my car, probably will do the oil change next weekend. Thanks. :)

Sorry, my mistake.. If the wikipedia is correct, it's 4 cylinder 1.0l dohc engine, daihatsu move. I see, havoline 10w30 is a group II oil, how about havoline 15w40? Is there any different even the same product name in different country? Example: havoline 15w40 dino is not found in US, but the...

I see, thanks for input. :) I might try Havoline ds dino 15w40 in my car for 5000 miles. However, I find out there is havoline ds dino 10w30 api sm, I wonder can this use in my sister car for 5000 miles? I worry the oil will break down before 5000 miles since my sister car has a small engine...

Its difficult for me to make a decision between mobil super family and havoline ds. Normally 20 mile to working place or to hyper market. 50% on highway, another 50% in town and sometimes will face the traffic jam in town (stuck in traffic for 1 hour just for 6 mile, so I always try to avoid...

I see, thanks for reply. So the oil change interval will be safe in 5000 mile if I choose mobil? How about havoline ds? I asked this because I'm curious about normally dino and semi or fully synthetic engine oil can last for how many mile? I see some uoa for dino oil, then I start thinking if...

Too late for me to edit the last post. The oil change interval can go for 7000 mile if i'm using dino only? Both oil are same spec. Dino: Havoline ds 15w40 api sm, mobil super 1000 15w40 api sm. Semi: Havoline synt blend 10w40 api sm, mobil super 2000 10w40 api sm. I did my search in bitog, im...

How good is Havoline DS and Mobil super family? From the uoa section, i know havoline ds is a good oil but how is it if compare to mobil super family? Example: havoline ds dino vs mobil super 1000, havoline synt blend semi vs mobil super 2000.. Becuz in my area, these engine oil are same price...

I see.. thanks for that information. Just curious about the Pennzoil GT Performance (SM/ SAE 15w50), my friend was telling me this is made for high revv automotive (HTHS about 4.6 if i remember correctly what he said) should be able to use in Motorcycle, and he is using it now. i wonder would...
