Engine Oil

I got to know more about engine oil today while I send my car for alignment and balancing.
Engine oil differs by thickness and heat resistance.
Mineral oil (lowest grade) has normal heat resistance and fully syntatic ones have highest level of heat resistance.

Mineral oil is suitable for older cars and fully syntatic ones are for new cars.
Mineral oil costs around RM50 and fully syntatic ones can costs up to RM200.
So, I'm glad I'm driving an old car...

What about engine oil for NGV?
Well, it will make a difference if you use fully syntatic which translate to a new car converted to run on NGV. Difference brand of engine oil contains different level of heat resistance. Make sure you pick the right one.
