Group buy : New Engine Oil for better fuel efficiency

[kevintok]

Dear SGMERC members,

 

I would like to organise a group buy for this new engine oil from this company GUS. The details of this engine oil are highlighted as follows:

 

OPTIMUS-X  SAE 5W-30 / 5W-40                                                             

 

SIRIUS SAE 10W-40

           

STATE OF THE ART HYDROSYN TECHNOLOGY

Using state-of-the-art all-hydrosyn technology, crude oil molecules are converted into extremely pure colorless Ultra-S products which have a very high viscosity index and are virtually free of aromatics, polar compounds, and sulfur. The result is a premium Group III base oil without the impurities and characteristics that limit the performance of other base oils.

 

PERFORMANCE

• Highly saturated

• Virtually no aromatics or impurities

• Colourless

• Uniform composition

• High oxidation/ thermal stability

• Viscosity stability

• Low volatility

• Improved demulsibility

• Fully saturated

• High viscosity index

• Exceptional low temperature properties

• Excellent oxidation

 

BENEFITS

• reduce wear and help extend the useful life of the engine

• high lubricating properties in all temperature conditions

• Greater fuel economy than conventional oils

• Extended drain intervals than conventional oils

• Easy start-ups without the need to warm up

• For high performance engines including cars using LPG and NGV

 

GUS synthetic oil uses state-of-the-art additives and fully synthetic base stocks to meet the highest requirements of the API for engine protection. These advanced oils produce significantly improved thermal and oxidation, shear stability and detergency. It offers outstanding high temperature engine protection and performance. The thermal and oxidative stability of GUS synthetic oil ensures the long-term integrity of the oil after exposure to engine operating temperatures. Poor thermal and oxidative stability are the top reasons conventional oils require frequent changing. Low volatility makes GUS synthetic oil highly resistant to oil consumption. The longer drain intervals and the improved performance help take the bite out of the slightly higher cost of the synthetics. Outstanding shear stability ensures that this synthetic oil maintains their protective viscosity throughout their extended service life and protects engine components from wear, especially at high temperatures. When used according to manufacturers recommendations, this oil is fully certified for oil change intervals of 14,000 to 20,000 KM.

 

APPLICATIONS

Our API APPROVED synthetic motor oils are good for all gasoline (SM, SN & SL) and small diesel (CF) automotive engines currently in use. They meet or exceed the following manufacturers requirements:

• API SM, SN, SL / CF.

• ACEA A3/B3-04, A3/B4-04.

• MB 229.1.

• API CF-4 & Mercedes Benz MB 228.1.

• CCMG G5/PD2.

• VM 500/502/505.

• PORSCHE 'GL'.

• BMW LONGLIFE OIL.

 

TEST REPORT AFTER 10,000 KM RUN

Please refer to the attached test report after 10,000 KM run using Sirius SAE 10W-40 from Audi A6 C7, tested in ALS Technichem Pte Ltd located at 14 Little Road along Upper Paya Lebar Road. To assist you in the interpretation of the test report, you can refer to the table below which highlights the acceptable level for each indicator (extracted from www.bobistheoilguy.com). According to the feedback received, the fuel efficiency of this car has improved by 8 - 10% during usage (the result may varies according to different car make).

The good part of this group buy deal is the buy 1 free 1 promotion package. I am just sharing this deal which I chanced upon with the oil supplier. Please do not perceive this engine oil as poor quality grade based on the offer price given since the oil supplier is giving this one-time offer to the first 30 buyers for market awareness. I hope I can reach out to as many members as possible since the 1 for 1 deal is only extended to the first 30 buyers and you guys will have a chance to benefit from this group buy. Please refer to the details below on the 2 types of engine oils available from this group buy:

Hi Solar,

Thanks for the advice given. I have tested one bottle of this engine oil on Audi C7 and it does improve the fuel efficiency. Anyway, I will check with the supplier again on the approved API.

[daffy]

seriously....how much did it improve? just enjoy the ride.

[MarkCWQ]

What's wrong with engine oil from Shell or Mobile1? How much more fuel can you squeeze out for driving every 100km?

[TiburonTurby]

$50 for 2 bottles is very budget pricing, but GUS brand is unheard of (personally) and performance is unknown...

[arkaneslayer]

Siriusly sounds like snake oil ....
