hi all...last serviced my '02 wira 1.5 auto in june.,used eneos 10w40 semi., was advised can use up to 10k, but now after 6.5k car feels sluggish but also recently flywheel oil seal found to be leaking so im not sure whether thats causing the sluggishness..since changing the seal is quite a big job, im half decided as to whther to change the EO together, and if I do, im split between choosing the 2 most highlighted EOs, magnatec & LMoly (both 10w40)..which would u all sifus recommend?many thx in advance

try liqui moly
its more like thicker version of oil instead of ordinary oil
should give u a much better experience

expecting majority of EO to last 10k km (even liqui moly) is just being delusional man.

more so in our hot/humid weather, insane traffic jam stop-go driving.

thanks for the quick replies guys, was expecting email notfctns but rcvd none..

well i'll keep those in mind & will do a minor survey of availability & price...anyway ive changed my idea of 'strictly' adhering to any foreman's tips anymore since i can get more end users' reviews reports & tips...my car is 12yo so from now on it will still be on semi but with 5k intervals..that shud be safe i assume.

more inputs will be appreciated and be useful to others too..

one more thing...for wira 1.5 gear oil, is mitsu diaqueen splll advisable? most wira forum members recommends it but few are against saying its synthetic, thus too thin for wira gbox and may affect other parts or seals or something in future..is that true..can someone enlighten on that pls

Tried Eneos last time and had to change in about 7-8k as can feel the engine running quite rough. I think changing every 7k would be good.

noted bro....now OCI of between 5-7k sounds a little bit more ideal..whc type of eneos u used? thx anyway

oh forgot to edit it:
majority of semi-syn EO**

fully synthetic no issue though.

doesn't matter what car, following manufacturer recommendations with/without own "common sense" would be best. nod.gif
btw my 14 year old car is having a 11k OCI (running on 2nd oil filter already just to be safe, original proton only rm8 so why the heck not. absolutely no performance degradation yet) because i still didn't get to work on my valve cover yet rofl.
then again i've used the exact same EO and it lasted 16k km and that gave me a LOT of confidence smile.gif

oh if your wira is automatic, try caltex ATF-J (semi synthetic) + lubegard platinum wink.gif
no comment for mitsu diaqueen, however if your gb is confirmed to be under mitsu, you'd think that mitsubishi want to kill their own gb? lol

dont have the manual to refer the manufacturer's recommendations bro as i bought it from a friend of friend, he misplaced it..will anyway google for it..

great man ur car lasts 11 & 16km...wat is that, magic oil? hahah..can u be more specific bro, did u use a single oil change & 2 filters for the whole duration? mind telling me wats the EO brand?

for the gb again im not sure but since wira is the adopted version mitsu (lancer), i assume the gb to be mitsu as well albeit msia/japan made..
there r also foremans recommending pennzoil dexron for wira 1.5 gb..is ur car auto, and hv used both the caltex & lubegard b4, how do they fare..smooth gear changes, less jerks etc?
