[QUOTE="fabianyee, post: 437606, member: 6"] any semi syn with viscosity xxW-50 or even mineral oil with similar rating. Observe the drained oil, if it's thick and black. it may have starting to sludge. So observe the oil about 3000km into the next oil change or just change it at 3000km for a few times to let the oil clean your engine... Anyway, has any form of overhaul been done on the engine previously? At that mileage, the camshaft lobs may have started to wear off and u'll have a persistent tick tick lifter noise... If no lifter noise, then it's still in good health. [/QUOTE]
