HKS 4G63 Engine Oil

Is anyone using the HKS formulated 4g63 Oil?

Personally I like it my car starts with the slightest touch of the ignition contact and it idles like a kitten...

I had never heard of it before until a buddy of mine the HKS authorized dealer showed it to me...

The brand name doesn't necessarily indicate the manufacturer. Do you think Mitsubishi produces their own drivetrain fluids? They put their name on a bottle of someone else's product.

Au contraire mon ami...

so your saying you put cheap oil in your engine because you change it often?

If you can afford the best oil you will put it in your car regardless if you change it once a week or not...

well there you go bud.. like i said it's a tad more than mobile one so if it was actually better (the whole point i started this thread to investigate more) then you would probably use it too...

To tell you the truth i think mobil makes the oil for them i recall reading in 03 about hks and mobil where running test on oils.


But after reading that mobil 1 seems to be better then the other leading brands i will never change use anything else. The test was done by a GT class team only useing synthetic oils

^ I wouldn't be surprised.. the extra cost is probably going into HKS's pocket...
I'll try and find out though...
