Same and no difference to your myvi

of kos SN is better,
that differentiates the price, eg: Tesco Castrol magnatec RM90 cos its API SL,
if direct from Castrol price will be Rm110+ cos its API SN.

but as CVKIT said no diff in a myvi.

SN is the newer grade for engine oils because it meets a certain criteria. The higher the grade the more stringent the criteria.

So if you compare SL and SN, SN is higher in terms of criteria.

If you're talking about your Myvi which isn't a high precision super machine, it doesn't make a difference which one you choose. Choose the one that makes you happy.

Owh thanks. I just wonder because original myvi engine oil gold which is API SN is cheaper than my current Liqui Moly API SL/CF. Both 10-30.

Thanks. Because currently I'm using 10-30 Liqui Moly which is API SL. But original myvi engine oil is 10-30 API SN which is cheaper. Just wondering.

But SN newer test could only be environmental only, not performance.
I was told even older oil, even no change also meet the newer test, just that they are already advance and the test at that time was lower....hhahaa

Liqui moly is expensive because of the additives and base oil used I think. And probably because it's full imported too.
