This stuff is not too bad - got decent results with it
Explain decent results.
Feelings, nothing more than feelings.
It’s the vibe of it. It’s the Constitution. It’s Mabo. It’s justice. It’s law. It’s the vibe and ah, no that’s it. It’s the vibe. I rest my case.
This stuff is great. Good enough for basic cars but can use for motobikes and mowers and other small engines too. its a good all purpose oil.
Doubt you could use with a motorcycle that has a wet clutch
The technical data sheet does say it meets the JASO MA spec so should be suitable for wet clutch. Should be fine for commuters or non high performance requirements. If you change oil every 5000 Km shouldn't be an issue.
What about superchargers? I think the spec requirement is Jaso MA2.
I have a heap of Valvoline Syn plus. But they recommend a hybrid oil over full synth!
mowers
Hmmm. I've always used straight weight oil in my mowers.
This way, you can get maximum performance and protection when it's cold and warm!
Straight weights never shear, so assuming the mower is worn enough to drink a little bit of oil, your topups are enough to keep the TBN and additives high enough to not worry about 'oil changes'.
Multigrade IS better, but lasts a VERY short time on motors that run at a constant high RPM.
Depends if you like servicing or not, and really need to know you're doing the best for your engine.
Worked well in my old banger during the warmer months.
Will work fine in winter too.
It might for others but my car (20 years old) struggled with it especially on colder days. Was starting much better/normally with 5w-30 oil.
What was the factory spec?
Just like normal oil?
Picked up a bottle, thanks OP!

Was instant for me
Can confirm this is my goto for my family fish and chip shop.
I didn't realise that any of those fish shop fords are still running!
A front for money laundering is always needed
This weight oil is cheaper than what I paid 20 years ago.
I remember get mates rates for Holden oil filters- $6.
Full oil and filter change for under $30.
Crazy that new cars come with 0w20 from the factory. I just bought some to do an oil change in my car.
Once out of warranty, I'll switch to 5w30.
You should stick with the manufacturer's recommended oil specification. New car engines are built with much tighter tolerances than older engines. Going to a thicker oil will provide less protection at start up (when most engine wear occurs) and will lead to increased fuel use.
0w20 is recommended for emissions.
I believe 5W30 is better for warmer climates like Australia. We don't get sub 0 degrees where I like but we do get 45 degree days where a slightly thicker oil will help when hot and/or taking the car on a track. I don't plan on taking my car on a track but my car is a sports car.
5W30 is still within the specs in the handbook but factory and dealership fill is 0w20.
You can get 0W30 oil that will give you more protection at higher temps, and still give better protection at start up. For a sports that is driven the way it should be, the main thing is to use a full synthetic oil and change the oil every 5000km. Also make sure the engine is near operating temp before giving it the beans :)
Slightly true for the emissions part -
A lot of these hybrids or newer engines with start/stop capability require a 0W-20 due to the fact the engine isnt always running and needs better protection to when they are turned on on an instant.

I used this for my Hiace 2016 2.7L petrol with 300,000KM and noticed engine knock during cold start sometime. Also, there were lot of small bubbles when changing oil so I'm going back to 5w-30 full synthetic from now.
Hmmmm….I'm a member and it is not showing up as the member price. What am I doing wrong?

The synx semi syn goes pretty well here.
Doesnt thin out with e85 contamination quite as bad as others.
