Any best Synthetic Oil for euro?

[Crapdaz]

I'm using Mobil 1 Gold and being a 5L bottle, I usually have just under 1L left after an oil change.

Is there any harm in saving 1L at a time and keeping the leftover oil until I have enough for a full oil change? Or will the oil in an open bottle degrade?

wtf, did you do the full oil change as in changing oil filter also?

as if you did change oil filter there wouldnt be 1 litre left.
engine contains about 4.7L you would only have about 300ml left.

should pick up a couple of bottles of castrol edge too but i dont get paid til next week dang mang!

Euro's engine takes 4.1 to 4.2L when drained. I also end up with about 700-800 leftover, depending on how long I leave it to drain.

dont know why but when i did mine it took about 4.7L, read on tsx forum that they used 4.5-4.7 also.

but sorry to hijack i know everyone recommends HONDA MTF, but is there any market brands that are equivalent or work better than Honda's MTF?

Thanks in advance.

Some people like Redline Superlight Shockproof, which is Redline's thinnest shockproof range MTF. However, it is still 1 step thicker than Honda MTF. I have found Honda MTF06 to help with the gritty shift feeling like how Redline Shockproof does, while maintaining the correct viscosity. I have found that Honda MTF06 being quite a bit better than Honda MTF Plus in terms of shift feel.

how much does that normally set you back and what quantity does it come in for Redline and also Honda MTF06?

No idea how much redline is. Honda MTF06 comes in 1L bottles and should cost about $15-18 each. You need 2 bottles. Gearbox takes 2.1L when draining but I have found that I have some leftover from the 2 bottles.

Was at Supercheap sometimes back, 5-30 was going for about $48 or somewhere there... the $29.90 is for 25-50

Kmart having 10% discount for all oils now, just got one 5-30 for about $43

29.90 is for 25w-50, 5w-30 only oil which wasnt discounted heavily was the 0w-40

If you guys drive on the street only, Mobil Synth S 10w-40 should be good enough. It's a semi-synthetic and costs only $32.

Serious??? Nice! Too bad I've already bought 4 bottles of Edge 5w-30 during the supercheap auto $29.99 sale. Can't think of what I need from Autobarn at the moment.
