Pennzoil, Repsol and Grantt

UMW does hold some carnival sale for its oils and fluids occasionally. Pennzoil, Repsol and Grantt are some of the brands under its belt. It also used to sell a lesser known brand like Blue Sky. Buying during carnival sale is not only cheaper but each item usually comes with a free gift like Thermos water bottle, laptop bag or umbrella. Of course, you won't get such premiums if you merely buy mineral oils. These things only comes free with semi or fully synthetic oils. The next carnival sale should be in the middle of this year, just before the Hari Raya holidays.

Times are bad now. So have to downgrade. Recently, bought this Grantt semi synthetic oil for RM80 with free gift. Anyhow, most of these oils give decent performance. The only bad experience I had was those Ace Hardware oils that was sold for RM6.90 per pack at one time. I felt instant loss of power using such oil in my previous Kenari. Other than that, most of the time, I will feel that gratifying "just change oil" driving experience. The difference between each oil lies on how long this "feeling" can last. For mineral oils, it usually last up to 2,000 km at most.
