On leave today, spend whole day out till now.

Weight 30 on borderline maybe ok, maybe not, can always try then see 1 or 2 years later engine need to change or not. I also don't know, so why risk it to save some FC. Not worth the price of engine. Last time i say if use weight 20, SURE 1 year later need to upgrade engine to CPS version. As Zen mentioned a few times, our engines are long stroke engine (whatever that means), high rev, higher heat generation requires at least weight 40 to be safe.

CPS uses weight 30, but its designed might have lower the heat generated by engine, so not as hot as original non CPS version.

As for recommended engine oil.....really no recommended wan, I do know even if 2 PE using same lube, they might produce slightly different result. Most swear by semi syn Castrol Magnatec. Shell they say get black fast no good (thats misconception, get black fast might also mean lube doing of of its function to clean engine and suspend contaminants). Unless car lose power before 5K change, I would say lube still working very well....as long as its still dark brown and transparent, not superblack.

Personally, I think most branded lube also ok, just don't use China-branded wan unless you're very sure of its quality and qc. Avoid buying branded popular lube in any spare part shops unless you're VERY familiar of the shops trustworthiness...coz the most damage any brand of lube can do is FAKE brand.

Heavy footed hor u? 150 KM/h Go where la? Now a lot speed trap la. Better be careful.

Can.. But u must be careful not to always high rev with 0w-30 lube, and to make sure u service ur car on time.. Or else can say bye bye to ur pistons etc. in a year or two.

Wth? This thread ah... really covers everything from car to chicks to money making business to food...

Do lah.. U got the balls & most importantly, the

Depends on how hard u drive & brake lo. U wanna bed it in within a day also possible.

Fake nevermind.. RECYCLED engine oil.. imagine all the debris & metal shards from used engine oil pouring into ur engine..

Engine oil are quite corrosive. Putting in thin grade 1 mineral bottle, I'm afraid of chemical seeping into the oil itself. So the best way is still mark the level at apx 0.25 liter oil at the bottle, pour oil until hit that line.

Just check the level this morning, abt 2-3mm above max, so I guess the mechanic DID pour only 3.8 liter. I think this particular mechanic is good and knows what he is doing. Since at 2nd day, both of my issue still has not appear (maybe window silicon not dry yet, will see 1 week later sound appear or not).

If issue really not appear again after a while, I'm going mark him and ask for him if I got complain...

In such case, the worry is totally ZERO addictives. No anti-wear, not rust protection, no contaminant suspension (keeping debris apart), VI worn out so oil no viscosity change, no cold protection. Can imagine the damage even if use once for a few K mileage. If lucky, damage only, engine still runs...some have to do overhaul and changed damaged part becoz of it.

For a while oni nevermind mah.. They sure return ur bottle by the time they finish service.. Then pour it back in lor.. Sometimes mechanic very stubborn wan.. U tell them not to do they die die also wanna do it.. And they always assume that we drivers don't know anything..

"Depends on how hard u drive & brake lo. U wanna bed it in within a day also possible."


Actually how to do bed in? I only normal drive only.

Haha.. Chill chill.. Dun speed lah now festive season..

Go Bahau find ckt ka?

By braking lo. actually u can try to do some hard braking from 80-20km/h.. Do this a few times can d.. The brake pads will form a layer of compound on the brake discs.. Then ur brake will be better by then.

TGIF.

My last service was around March this year. They don't allow to bring in lube. I serviced my gf's BLM last week.
They still say the same thing.

At first I was skeptical about Petronas Syntium 3000. So I have no choice that time and just let them pour in.
Now at 8k km mileage, I would say it's good. No power loss and engine is quiet. Much like Castrol Egde.
I might try Syntium 5000 0w-40 next service

Btw, morning!

I see. I am still use the lub that i bring myself. My Mileage already 45k. I service at there since first 5000K until now. I am using my own lub (castro magnetec ) since that day. I dono why thy don allow you la. but the service there are good. Maybe next time when can service together?

I am sorry but are you celebrating Hari Raya?

especially it was the friday before long holiday..

Wah! So good ah. Still have work on next Monday and Friday. Stupid company.

Nop not celebrating I went there since I got my car. 28K now

Seriously Petronas oil is good just because the price are expansive, non of us here siad Petronas oil no good at all it is better than Shell oil. Petronas petrol just feel like not suitable for Campro, it was fuel saving petrol but no power when use it for Campro, anyway it is still better than Shell not saving and no power.
