Hi Guys,

Please I need your help with this decision. I am considering switching to Petrocam engine oil after 3 years of Mobil1.
My car's engine oil spec is 5w-20 synthetic oil which Petrocam sells for less than 20k compared to Mobil1 at above 80k.

What car? What type of engine?

I once switched from mobil1 to Petrocam and after 3,000 kilometres my engine developed 'piston slap' and I had to drain it out and put in mobil 5w30 before my engine got itself again.

My engine uses 5w20 from factory but I now use 5w30 semi-synthetic. 3 years down the line and no issues. Just regular drain and refil at 4 - 5k kilometres.

i suggest you do the same

The car is Honda Pilot 2009.

I will consider your suggestion.

The annoying part now is that I just observed that my transmission D is blinking. I checked and noticed that the transmission oil is low. I don't know where to source Honda ATF DW1.

Better contact luvinhubby here and pay him for just one liter of original DW-1 and use it to top off. Stop driving it till then.

No carry that gearbox play

The car is already parked till fixed.

I contacted Luvinhubby, unfortunately he is out of stuck but I will wait.

Better park and wait. That your gearbox price is too heavy on my mouth right now if not I would have mentioned it here
