What sludge issue? Used Castrol Magnatech 10w40 before in the Avanza and experienced no problem.

One of my friend also using Castrol oil and doesn't have problems, but for me and other friends have experience that sludge issue of castrol oil, I don't why, maybe there is a fake Castrol oil?

*RT: why did you stop using castrol for your avanza?

I tried to ask for 10W30 but unfortunately the shop that I went doesn't have it, so instead I've got the Top 1(US) brand 10W40. Mukhang ok naman,but I would still look for 10W30 on my next change oil.

Of all brands of oil in the market, i dont use castrol due to sludge issues

Yeah same experience here.. something that I don't like about the castrol oils is the mush! been using the repsol and it works really good to me!

Used Caltex Havoline Fully Syn 5w30 na kasi and changed oil every 10K. So I need a FS na since matagal na palitan unlike sa Castrol na every 5K.

IMHO Castrol is very popular even in Motorcycles kaya its no wonder na if meron fake sa motor, baka nga pati sa car meron. Better buy from official distributors na lang siguro. Or use Shell Helix HX7 as an alternative since same lang halos sila ng rating.

RT, with your avanza, 2nz-fe engine? wala naman sludge issue with 10K oci?

Wala naman, malinis pa nga yung oil nung na-drain eh. Sabagay puro city driving lang kasi yun nung 3 years na nagamit ko at light traffic lang sa amin eh.

Tapos OEM air filter naman gamit kaya maganda din filtration. Sabagay 1 year ko lang nasubukan yung FS kasi dati (2 years) eh semi-syn lang gamit ko.

I'd recommend TOP1. It's a very good performing engine oil. since you've both 10w-40 oil already, it would be fine with your engine.
