[QUOTE="alvin24, post: 1063458673, member: 63"] azago, ram, I think first thing's first... take your car to a mechanic and get it checked for all it's issues. You guys facing more than 1 issue at the same time, and also the description is too general for us to give u an answer as to exactly what is wrong... because there are just too many things that can cause the said symptoms. As for what is considered 'good oil'? I think is subjective to personal choice. Some oils (for unexplained reasons) may work for us and might not work for you. But I think one of the general ones that work for most 4G9x users is Castrol Magnatec. But you'll need to be careful where you get it from, because there are fake castrol magnatec out there in the market. I used to use HKS semi synthetic oils and it works great for me. Before that I also tried Endless and Magnatec before as well, and they were also good. But with HKS semi synthetic my engine seems to feel lighter and more responsive... that's why I stuck to it. You're going to want to avoid Shell oils though. I tried it once, straight away all the tappet noise came up on my 4G91 (which previously was not there). I got the engine oil changed to Magnatec less than a month later along with a can of additive that's supposedly to help flush the engine (Forgot what brand, was recommended to me by a friend a very very long time ago and I only used it that one time before). It took me a 2nd oil change to get rid of the tappet sounds completely... the sounds were still there during cold start after the first Magnatec change. Hope this helps. Again, for some unexplained reasons this doesn't work the same with everyone. So experiment and see what engine oils your engine is compatible with. =) Happy modding =) ACQ, No idea man. If it was me I wouldn't have bought one that isn't purple... lulz. But on the other hand, this is half the price of the purple ones =p [/QUOTE]

Qns on t25 BOT on 4G13
Hi guys, Powerzone replied me. they said they can export a 260 deg performance camshaft at RM 1300+. which translate to SG 600+
I think quite reasonable. The only worry is to get a good workshop in SG to install it...
