fully-syn RM145...it's too cheap
try open the cap see got seal inside or not be4 buy
i think it's imported from other country
it's impossible to be so cheap....recently motor oil price just hike BTW

Its possible to be cheap.

Typo

It's fr EU...
Plastic cap is the sealed type. Dunno if got extra foil seal inside.

Very tempting pricing...yes?

hmm. . is exceed SL/SM or SN?

Din look @fine print...
Pls go2 nearest Tesco & look-see, and mayb buy...if satisfy yr conditions?
If not wrong, 2day last day of offer?

very tempting but lower grade oil
price hike recently for motor oil...semi syn for castrol have increased to RM118 instread of RM99 few months ago

Lower grade? How to know?

Name of brand, SAE value, ratings, etc on label, appear 2b the SAME as the locally bottled ones! Except for words "Manufactured in the EU"...

Yes, you're right. I meant the tripmeter.

I see. Have fun measuring you're FC.

Btw, what's your current tire size? 195/55/R15?
If so, the tires are wider, therefore increasing your FC. The total diameter is also wider. Therefore increasing your FC as well. Just try and measure your FC using the proper procedures, then see how lar.

Sorry for you bro. You got into an accident before this right? Could it be something was damaged and hasn't been replaced, yet?

Hopefully it's fixed soon.

I think it's not about cool air to cool the engine dude. IINM, IAFM is a mechanical VIM with 2 settings. Long or short air intake. Changing the length of the air intake adjusts the speed of air flowing into the engine. Different driving conditions prefer different air intake length.

Did you check your tire pressure?

Shit only happened after I visited COE to replace the IAFM

tire pressure is normal front 31 rear 28
i think the problem is the petrol station problem

Re-chk API ratings of Castrol Magnatec engine oils sold @Tesco on offer ... API SL/CF.
BLM/FL User Manual states API "SJ or higher"...so do the oils qualify?
If SL is higher than SJ (SJ... SK... then SL... Is it like that?), then pass quality rating, right?
TQ in adv.

I see. That sucks. Have you taken a look at the IAFM and see if the wiring and mechanical parts are ok?

Has your mechanic found the problem yet?

I think this is what you want.

Anyways, only one way to find out if it's that petrol station that's the problem. Keep testing to get an average. Then try elsewhere and get an average.

now the mileage is 30k
service follow the suggested intervals

Yup, juz did some Googling...API SJ is std b4 SL, with the latest SM!
Seem SJ is going obsolete altho can still b used. There are also many factors & effects of different API std rated oils such as effects of additives used eg on catalytic converters, etc.

Feel too much for the average driver to bother abt...agreed?

I think my mech chickened out



esok tow to SC liao

T_T

So sorry 2hear dat!
Sincerely hope yu'll not b w/o yr ride 4too long...

Somehow feel that cars nowadays equipped with more & more electronics & hi-tech gadgets are becoming beyond the "Mech-in-the-street" & his mechanical tools!

The Cons of development & progress??

maybe...
