Castrol Magnatec vs Petronas Syntium

Last 2 services, I used Petronas Syntium 800 semi synthetic oil instead of Castrol Magnatec. I noticed several things about it. I listed as below:

1. Performance wise - Acceleration is a little bit slow or quite sluggish really. With Magnatec, the response is better.
2. Temperature -  Having said that, using Syntium, the engine temperature is not as hot as using Magnatec. I don't have to fill up my water tank reservoir as often as before.
3. Price - a little bit cheaper.

So, I don't know what to choose for my next service due another 3 months time. Castrol Magnatec is quite difficult to find. My regular workshop is having slight difficulties to secure the supply. I don't quite understand about it. The demand is there but the supply is quite limited.

Traffic jam in Cameron Highlands again....

Mmmm...
I should learn from this once and for all. Just came back from vacation? I spent 3 days and 2 nights supposedly to refresh my minds but ends up getting more mess up. First traffic jam in Cameron Highlands was terrible. Imagine, it takes 1 or 2 hours to pass any towns over here for eg. Tanah Rata, Brinchang etc. You can smell the odour of over working brake pads. Overheated cars is a common scene. Don't talk about parking.Worst is Brinchang. From what I gathered from a shopkeeper in Brinchang, in normal days, 'pasar malam' is conducted two days/week i.e Friday and Saturday.

However, during school holidays, everyday is "pasar malam".

End up spending most of our time in our resort; Strawberry Park.

What a vacation.
