Oil Change and Tyres

In the last few weeks, went for an oil change. Decided to go back to the standard mineral oil. The semi-synthetic Magnatec costs about RM90 changing to the standard mineral saved more or less RM20 as I opted to use the drum type. They pumped 3.9 liters of the Castrol GTX which cost RM66. No doubt running mineral the engine feels a little bit heavy especially when you floor it but for day to day traffic jam use it doesn't really show. I'm thinking of Idemitsu mineral for the next round. Maybe I could get the bottled one out at the spare parts shops for cheaper. ^_^

Finally got rid of those Dunlop RV70. Got myself a nice set of Yokohama Geolander G044 for RM290 a piece. I should have done this earlier. The new rubber is so smooth and quiet on the road. Also there is this 'imaginary' steering pull during braking that seems to have disappear after the change. I suspected pull as the front tyres have uneven wear on both sides. Now that all the tyres are nice and even, I wonder if fuel consumption will improve ?
