It depends on your car's engine condition
How old is your car anyway?

Last time was sum cheap ass-ed plugs.
Not changed to er... Denso, But its not the Irridium ones.
Im using Heat-range 5 plugs.

if i not mistaken the car bought on 2003...my parent bought in when i in kelantan

Whats type of oil you using? Currently semi synthetic right?
New engines no peoblem running on either semi or fully
Just that when you want to change oil types like from semi to fully or to mineral, make sure you do an engine flush first

yeah... dun flush too often....

%#$@#*&#$&*@&^#$

Hi all!!

1997 Proton Wira owner reporting in. Heh, my poor 4G15 runs off a carb so guess my engine is kinda old compared to most of the people here eh?

Hope to learn a lot from all the sifu's here!

Btw, any ideas how 2 employ the 'Kickdown' technique for Auto cars?? if i'm not mistaken, it's a technique to lower the rpm yet maintaining the same speed, so that u can drag the rpm further

KICKDOWN? explain more... anyone?

I tot kickdown was to release-and-floor the pedal to force it to downshift?

tat wan ar??? i use to do it when i just get my licence.... later no more use it... normally play with gearbox....

Just step full XD
or assigned which gear you wanna drag

currently i'm using castrol magnatec..i dun want to use fully type becoz the oil is thick that can result my car to be heavier and consume of petrol..summore mine is auto tranny.hehe..if 10w-40 is the right pair for my car, maby consider it for a long term

Consume of petrol is entirely subjective, it depends on your driving style and driving conditions

And I am using fully, auto tranny, no problems at all, fuel consumption is good for my car too car not heavy either

Bro shinjite,

U mentioned that if we are to switch from full syn. to semi syn. or mineral, it's better to flush the engine first. Is it really a neccessity?

I've been using mineral type all along, and i plan to switch to semi synthetic for my next change. So, do i need to flush my engine?
