The engine oil is important. There are thousands of brands out there, with hundreds of blend types. Which and what to use? You may choose a particular brand of oil for its popularity or you may not even know why in the first place, but you know you want it. Some enthusiast prefer to use cheap and basic ones but withpreferred specific thickness and viscosity but regularly do their oil changes to stay fresh.<img src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/features/q8review/oilchange2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So what are you? If you swear by your prefered brand and wouldn't try any other even if you're dead, think again!<img src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/features/q8review/q8oil%20f1%20bottle.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Q8 Oils have not regain its popularity here until now, being seen in various motorsport events, appearing on the shelfs in garages, magazines and so on. In case you're wondering what's this Q8 Oil, why the weird name and where it came from. Alright, its actually from the Kuwait Oil Company. Q8? Kuwait? see?.Another thing is, The refinery facilities and blending process of the oils are done in Rotterdam, Belgium and United Kingdom.Finally, the oils you all get are all bottled in Leeds. So now you know.<img src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/features/q8review/q8oils%20evo2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So, how good is it?. Well, I have the pleasure of trying out the Q8 F1 Synthetic blend. I have always been the type of person who would use any type of fuel and oil, never particular, and only loyal to convenience and also emergencies. Fuel and oils at least. I don't mind mixing for top-ups.<img src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/features/q8review/q8oils%20bottles.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Oil changes,I do them every 5000kms or so. Once done, smoothness is back again and that's it. I've never really paid attention to results from different oils and all butI do have favourites and I do know some great oils and also additives that really does what it says.<img src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/features/q8review/q8oils%20evo3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So i drive a done up 1989 BMW 325i. It's a great 170rwhp, 2.5litre, single cam, in-line 6 cylinder bullet-proof engine. It never fails to entertain. I'd charge down the north-south highways maintaining the high revs and playing in the redline zone all the time and never fear of it blowing up orfailing on me. Though i may not be very particular between the good oils and additivesI know of, but what I do know is they keep me very happy and is very capable of keeping the engine nice and silky at highrpms.<img src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/features/q8review/q8oils%20ford.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I will not tell you that Q8 is some super-duper, world's number one engine oil in the market. But it is one of the best oils around, able to compete or even surpass the super brands out there in the market, at least for the Q8 F1 series-The fully synthetic series. Why did i mention "compete" in the first place?. It is also a fact that even with its to-die-for qualities, Q8 oils is one of the cheapest engine oils around!<img src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/features/q8review/q8oils%20evo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So, how has it been having driven 2000kms with it. Better than i'd expected! I mean, certain attrbutes that contributed to my satisfaction was the easy start up, the quieter tappets, and the engine feels really revvy, light and like its ready to pounce. Ifind myself playing with the pedal to amaze myself from the surges and thesinging engine. Certain oils feel good in some way and some of them actually needsboost from certain oil additive in the first place! No such requirement with the Q8 F1.I don't know how it does that but what I do know is it puts that smile on my face. I wasalso told by the local distributor that the oils do not breakdown fast as well. That would be an added bonus.<img src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/features/q8review/q8oils%20renault.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Driving in the city is great. There may be other oils out there providing great capabilities. But for the price of the Q8 F1, it's certainly a great deal! Big bang for the buck. So what the local distributor here is trying shout is, Look here, Q8 oils are the best oils you can get for your money!But what I think is, They don't care about their margin, they want their volume!Special Thanks to:Autochild Glenmarie -http://www.autochild.com/-For providing their professional oil change service.<img src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/features/q8review/q8oils%20bike.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
