I just send my car for 45k service at normal workshop. (Stopped sending to Proton SC since 30k; the labour charge is killing me.)

I changed the power steering fluid since its quite dirty. The shop used Castrol Dex 3 ATF for the power steering. I read once Dex 3 will worn out the seal.

I also noticed the mechanic PUMPED out the engine oil instead of draining it. He used the same method for the power steering oil. He told me that by using draining method, one will have to replace the drain plug. Repetitive tightening of drain plug, according to him, will crack the oil sump in the long run since Campro oil sump is made from aluminium and can easily crack.

Anyone can confirm the two issues above ar?

Btw, Castrol is having a promotion right now. Free EO on the fifth change interval provided u changed at the same authorized Castol outlet five times in a row.

Memang la itu macam. We see PE gauge until sien d ma. LoL

Wahhhhhhh.... Ayer Suwammmmmm!!! Damn sibeh high class hor ur ayer suwam? God's ejaculate kah?

Saya kasi pm u number. You give me a misscall or whatsapp msg lah.

As long as he gets the old goo out of the system, I don't see it as a problem really. And yuh, apparently the washer of the drain plug has to be changed every oil change to prevent oil leakage, so does the nut if it the threads are worn out . Another thing if you tighten the nut too much for the oil pan it could apparently cause problems like cracking .

Yes, thats true (the oil sump cracking part). If the vacuum draining method is done well, shouldn't be a problem. But once in maybe a couple of services, try to replace the drain plug as there may be wear on the rubber seal as well after being exposed to heat for too long.

I am ok with the pumping out method. Just a bit terkejut since first time seen it. And first time heard about the oil sump thing although it makes sense to me.

How about the Dex 3 ATF oil they used for the power steering?Any long term damage to the seals?

bro, at last saw u...
mana u pergi,
what ride u riding now?

Long term damage? Well if you would consider increased wear and tear on the gearbox, then yes. The seals will give way earlier and your gearchanges may feel more sluggish than before. SPIII & Dexron III is very different my dear.

how is the look now?
