Engine oil IDEMITSU or PETRONAS

IDEMITSU Engine oil

I stick to Idemitsu. I have a Sohn adapter fitted, so it's 10-30 Idemitsu in the engine, twice a year and Idemitsu Premix in the Sohn adapter and in the fuel tank.

Pros: idemitsu in the engine

PETRONAS Engine oil

The 5W30 full synthetic engine oil works the best for a wide spectrum. Its working temperature range is practical for daily use and it costs less than 5W40.

Pros: practical for daily use
Cons: costs less than 5W40
Vehicle: Mercedes

Rating 4.0

My giulietta 1.4 MA is still reliable at 130k km. Never had any problems with engine always used recommended petronas oil. Had to rebuild my turbo once (at 120k km) it had very little play that made my car burn some oil.

Pros: reliable, good engine
Cons: turbo rebuild needed
Vehicle: Alfa Romeo Giulietta
Mileage: 130000 km

IDEMITSU Engine oil

The oil was Idemitsu Synthetic 0W-20 with 12.5k miles on it. Once again, trace metals and flashpoint were within normal range. I also ordered a TBN to measure the amount of additive left and that showed there was still plenty of active additive remaining.

Pros: trace metals normal range
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 12500 km

IDEMITSU Engine oil

In terms of oiling, get a sohn adapter so your apex seals aren't being lubricated with crankcase oil, and instead are injected with rotary-specific oil, like idemitsu.

Pros: rotary-specific oil
