How much ester needs to be present in the base formulation for the product to be advertised as ester engine oil?

I've seen stuff labeled as ESTER and ESTER BLEND, so I'm wondering if this follows the same logic as FULLY SYNTHETIC vs SEMI SYNTHETIC?

[garylow]

Yes agreed, used in the past ... Performance and detergent cleaning works great. Price is cheaper compare to other brand but as I'm drive as sales man... month oil change is a cost compare to normal office job. Any idea to have a product for best of both in cost and wear and tear for longevity.

I must give this Ester oil a try, for my dear Corolla AE 101, the first car I drove since my college days in the early 90s until now. GOOD EDUCATION...!! I learnt something new and possibly useful, in preserving my ride. Agree with your comment that you're out there searching for knowledge and information for our cars, while we're in the office earning a living to pay for our cars / rides. hahaa..

Bobby. I drive a e39 530i. I find the last part is quite true, but I do feel sometimes we owners are at the mercy of mechanics, like "scared the mechanic dowan to do my car" kind of feeling, or "scared he simply do". How ah?

I am considering to buy Mizu engine oil because it mention "ester formulated" for the 5w40 and it also very damn cheap for ester oil. Can be trusted or not ya? I never use Mizu oil before.

[danielsolomon]

Is PAO+ESTER better than Ester based oil? If what you're saying is true about Ester oil price that's means Mizu Engine oil is lying to its users because their ester engine oil is just around RM80 for 4 liters

Wow now in plastic bottle form last time I use late 80 was in tin.

[irfanchooify]

Great stuff, great people, great sharing!

Ramly Motor Works at Taman Medan PJ recommended Chemlube since the 1980s.

[ltapex]

Love this conversation! Would like to know what Brands are really Chem Lube made. I can not seem to find ChemLube you had in quarts in USA

[faizalozo]

Chemlube..trusted brand among genting nissan taxis many years ago

[mikeymonty]

Was just looking to do my first service as a new Cayman 987.2 owner, and I was trying to find a place to do my annual oil change... Leo and ChemLube hmmm!!

[eiffelwong]

Can Wearnes autohaus replace chemlube engine oil for me?=)

[shaharil]

[trustgtr]

shell are using GTL gas to liquid, seems at par with PAO..any idea zddp levels on chemlube? probably will call Leo for advice in m97 IMS /RMS issues..

[cychan]

Is there any different from Aisin oil? Aisin has PAO and ESTHER too

[austin_w_hao]

Try Prince Lubricants. Best Lubricant with P9 and P12 ester based out there..

[Vinz]

What if I am currently using Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40, which Chemlube will be a substitute for it ?

[honelson]
