Change oil can lower RPM already?

You car knowledge memang 'terbaek dari ladang'.

Means you have variable gear ratios?

Lulz.

The expected reply from a know-it-all ah beng. Taunt people, like a barking dog behind a gate.

Mau tahkau ka? Call your geng la.

Lolz.

Kyheng is another johnkor??

Fine to answer then, let me ask. What do you use to monitor your revs? Installed SAFC? Or just by reading your tachometer?

RON 95 or 97, the difference is just in the ron ratings and the additives. I am not sure what car you use, but a car's ECU might take 2 days to actually adjust to the new petrol RON.

It is just the matter of the ECU advancing or retarding the ignition based on the petrol that you use. Different cars will always react differently to different petrol brands. There is no such thing as a one petrol brand that suits all. It's always up to the matter of personal choice and how your own car reacts to the petrol.

Sprak plugs, well, to be honest, in a stock standard car, has very minimal effect. People might say that it is smoother, but doesn't changing to new spark plugs will always make the engine smoother?

Unless your engine has been modified internally, together with the improved fuelling system upgraded, those performance spark plugs will usually give very minimal benefits. People will buy Irridium plugs because that last longer than normal copper plugs. It also boils down to personal preferences.

Those with sufficient knowledge of cars will know the best bang for buck modifications for the car, and not to waste money on hyped up gadgets.

I admit, I was once a noob, and fallen under such advertising schemes where a simple device can provide up to 20% increase in power, and costs less than RM200.

We all start from somewhere, always a noob, but at least I don't go around LYN giving fake advices to people. I may lurk, but I learn.

I speak up only when someone gives out false advice.

P/S: Do you work in Wai Heng/ Wei Yip/ Brothers by any chance? #justsaying.

You have already overhauled, means new seals and new gasket. Obviously you can use fully synt oil. Hell, you can even go for 0w-40 if you want.

But when you tell others that fully is better, without considering that their engines are older, or haven't gone through overhauling process, that is false advertising.

Do you know what happens when you suddenly switch from a 20w-50 mineral oil to a fully synth oil?On an old engine, without new seals, new gasket. Answer that for me will ya?

There was a comparison on the spark plug materials made once. No Source at the moment though, where Irridium is less conductive than copper itself. So technically, irridium will produce a less powerful spark. But then again all new spark plugs, including standard copper, when new will make the engine run smoother.

Fully synth is mainly used in newer engine cars, because they usually have variable valves, which require a low viscosity oil to operate optimally. In normal 4G13/15 engines with no varibale valves, semi synth should be adequate. Although you can go fully synth if your wallet permits it. Engine health is also a priority, if you have a leaky gasket, and using light oils, will make the leak even worse.

The best so far is proper care of engine with regular oil change. Just make a CAI, use stock filter, and a full exhaust system setup will be just nice for a daily ride.

I mod my ride not to smoke other people, but for the satisfaction of it. And I do hope that newbies can actually learn more from proper advise, not crap ones. I went through that road before, and wasted alot of money on useless mods.

It is always a chain reaction where one person will give the wrong advice and that wrong knowledge will get passed on to other newbies.

Erm, explain what bro?

AFAIK all mercs and BMWs use fully synth/multigrade also. Correct me if I am wrong.

The viscosity would be the firt 2 digits, not the end.

Well at least I learn something new. But we are in a wira thread. And mostly IMHO, semi synth is good enough already. Unless you are running Mivec/GSR/Evo.

Eh, that barking dog dissapear already?

P/S: I doubt Motul mineral is the same as Shell Helix mineral right?

Some people I know after overhauling or PnP, they will use mineral oil first, then drain it out after 2000 km. After that they will use their choice of engine oil after that.

The name Motul itself will justify the pricetag.

BTW bro, where is your shop? I need to do some troubleshooting for the weird sounds from the rear end of my satria, and to rotate the tyres as well. PM me the address and number, will call you when I am coming, prolly next week.

How do you get an immitation Proton?

Besides your car knowledge, your england very the powderful la.
