Do not use [loe] when talking to older people unless they are okay with that. Also, if you're not in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, or Bekasi, I suggest that you don't use it because maybe in that place, they do not use [gue] and [loe].

So, let's dive in.
Loe In Bahasa Indonesia
[Loe] is an informal word. [Loe] means [you]. You will see that sometimes it is written as [loe] or [lo] or [elo] or [lu] or [elu] or [eloe] or [luh]. It's all the same, and all have the same meaning. [Loe] is usually in pairs with the word [gue].[Loe] is used mostly in Jakarta and its surrounding cities, like Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi, or we call it JaBoDeTaBek. But nowadays, because many movies are made in Jakarta, these words [gue] and [loe] have spread and are used in more cities in Indonesia.
But if you see it is written as [lho], it is not [loe] like what we discussed here. [Lho] is different and has a different meaning than [loe].
I just saw an ad on the street where there is [lo] in the ad. So, I took a picture of the ad. Let's see the image down below.
It says,
