^^Actually you should state clearly in between burn out on the engine oil and piston ring worn off.....
As this is 2 different thing....
Burn out is due to wrong grade of oil being used, it won't cause white smoke, it just follow the piston ring movement and slowly gets burn together with petrol.... Nothing bad on this, just need to be careful on not run your car till low level... Changing different brand will help, sometimes.

Added on February 6, 2011, 5:03 pmAnyone changed their Wira exhaust to HotBits?
Hotbits extractor + original Wira mid & rear?
Hotbits extractor + Hotbits mid section + original rear muffler?
or whole set HotBits exhaust system?

Can share the experience, comment, feedback and key-learnings?

i changed mine whole set.
fuel consumption not much difference from standard, but when tekan i guess the engine strain less...and dont have the damn high pitched frog sound coming out like standard exhaust.

recently, 1 stupid plastic bag or something landed on my exhaust tip and melted onto it...now i still trying to figure out how to remove it...wd40 cannot work tongue.gif

when u really trash ur car really hard, u will appreciate fully syn more... not just on the mileage...

my experience based on using mineral, semi syn and fully syn... mineral and semi syn gives a certain kinda "hangus" smell each time after hard driving (high revving).... this is more obvious nearing to its service interval...
but on fully syn, the oil remains smooth even after hard trashing for long hours... engine runs smoother and quieter....

i alwiz long distance drive ipoh-melaka... maintaining 150kmh above for 3 hours (with few minutes stops in between).... after a few trips, mineral and semi syn oil show sign of degrading... engine runs rougher, idles noisier, engine oil smells more "hangus".... but with fully syn, it remains same (almost) like when the oil is brand new....

wira can use fully sync engine oil?...coz mechanic advice me not to use fully sync since the engine is old n although overhaul before. they say full sync is for new car engine. izzit correct?

But then you are paying extra rm500-600 for the brand which using low quality iron sometimes...
I buy those no brand steel that only cost a fraction from that price..... Which last longer.... BTW, going to clock 8 years my exhaust and no leak....

well i dont notice any change in FC.
right now with ron95 @ rm1.90, if i drive like auntie i can maybe get 90-100km with rm20...but usually around 80km.

no point keeping original rear cos pipe diameter too small.
its not that noisy anyway unless of cos u tekan hard.
normal running its just very bassy sound but not really loud, the bassiness can set off certain sensitive car alarms tongue.gif
but if want reduction in sound if not mistaken some recommend go find the wira 1.8 twin tip exhaust.
