I've used 10W-30, no issues. As long as oil pressure don't drop until the flow cannot be maintained, it's fine.

http://ferrarichat.com/forum/faq.php?faq=haas_articles has info about grade, viscosity, pressure and flow.

Petronas 10W-30, because I didn't bring my own EO and this is service center's default. For LM, i'm using 10W-40 at the moment because I want the cheap price by sharing a carton with my friend

To make sure, you have to install oil pressure gauge

Remember I told you guys that I changed to a custom thermostat? Here are some results:

Readings taken from my daily drive to work. At above average cruising speed, the temperature here shows 81C, while the original thermostat keeps the temperature at 88-91C because whenever the coolant is cooled by moving air, the thermostat shuts the coolant flow.


When I slow down my cruising speed, the temperature can go further down:


This was taken when I went home, it was a rainy cold day. I drove the car at average cruising speed:

The Torque software that I'm using announces that the engine is at operating temperature when coolant temperature is 71C.

I think engine oil are only effective to protect the engine at 70C minimally, I've seen this somewhere before, can't confirm now.

Some Campro turbo do their own modification to original thermostat like cutting slits on it to leak coolant at all time. Some just remove it. The advantage of using proper custom thermostat is there will be no coolant flow when engine is cold, just as intended to warm up the engine ASAP. Disadvantage, cost.

Yes, RM100 a piece. No difference in plan.

How was the experience?

How can not exceed 350KM?

I think you full throttle too much?

I think Simota filtering is for larger objects like leaf and insects. I borrowed one, engine roars good though.

Haha, of course not that bad lah. Only those fine dusts can get through, I think should be fine to go in. Finally I use stock filter for the peace of mind and also works better for NGV

I am going to do 15000KM service soon. Should I just change an air filtering? Looks a little grey, not so white anymore

What secret package? Door seals?

I use it everyday. Maybe because I have NGV, I have to keep an eye more often.

Changing the speaker? Upgrading to which speaker?

Pure white - water vapour. Humid air due to rain (?)
White with blue - engine oil burning. worn piston ring (?)

Usually water vapour is thicker than the blueish smoke. The white smoke should go off after a while, otherwise, might have gasket leak. Coolant entering combustion chamber

Nowadays always raining, it's normal to have some vapour.

See, mine also disappeared.

At least after this week. I'm busy studying for exam. See, working liao also need to struggle for exam.

I put you in thermostat order ya.

I want to install front speakers and/or active subwoofer under my seat

JPJ/Puspakom rule is 2 clicks.

Tomorrow TT I can't go. I have wedding dinner to attend

Check the first page for service schedule.

Generally, this is what I think I will do:
1. Motor oil - semi syn 5000KM / Fully syn 10000KM
2. ATF oil - 20000KM
3. Spark plug - 10000KM
4. Air filter - 20000KM
5. Brake oil - 20000KM
6. Sterling oil -20000KM
