In short, it's up to you how far you wanna stretch your engine oil. My advice is no more than 7.5k KMs, Semi or not.

Okie. Thanks

Good night!

What if car is driven after putting in flush? Isn't that a fun clean shower? I don't think it's so easy to clog oil lines right?

pm me best price for LM semi synth

my rear stock silverstone going to third year at the end of next month. Just checked yesterday, still can go on further.
But cant wait to change it to match with front michelin xm2

For semi, try no to stretch it at all. If possible 5-6K at most. The base stock of semi is almost the same as mineral with added "synthetic" components. Probably a bit cleaner than mineral but it IS NOT the high grade refined based stock that FS uses. So treat your semi as mineral when it comes to service interval if you want to keep your engine clean maintain long term performance.

Of course go ppl can go semi or mineral for 15K, no problem.....your luck and risk tho...

You can eat your fruit fresh and ensure vitamins are there or you can wait till it dried up outside.....eat no problem but the risk is very much higher that its contaminated and might have bacteria that can cause havoc within your body. Same with engine oil on cars. Change it out before performance start to degrade if you can afford it, if not change it after performance degraded but risk of negative after-effect is always higher on the latter case.

Your car low mileage kah?

Dried fruit pun sedap. Especially raisins.

Woah seems like everyone changed their rims here eh?

How often does your car overheat? Especially non-IAFM version, what could be the problem? I have repaired the radiator casing, changed the thermostat. On Monday morning drove all the way from Karak highway to KL, stopped by at the petrol station close to my home, got back up to the car, air cond felt warm and by the time I saw meter reached 120 the car stopped and steer locked.

Parked my car and let it cool down.

Don't know abt you guys but practically ALL engine oil EXPERTS and ALL relevant articles I read on engine oil and flushing forbade engine flushing that might damage engine when "dislodge" sludge or dirt actually CLOGs up all pathway in your engine that not only makes matter worse, it might even kaput the engine if its dirty enuf.

If dirt is not much and small, yes it might work but then again the risk is even much higher for older cars with lots or lodge particles. Use EO flush only as last resort to resolve a critical engine issue upon a mechanic recommendation (not those capalong mechanic just selling a service purely to earn a buck without considering after effect).

Of course, if you are ones who like to dismantle engines and rebuild them, you're welcome to use them anytime. No risk.

Practically rare even though I kena once and it was the radiator leaking.

same here, I drove this car for 20k KM+ already (since I got it), this is the second time I'm seeing the termo meter reached 120. water pump failure? This only happens whenever I turn off and start the car again.

You drove the car until it stopped and steering locked? U got serious shit there.

I decided to stop at the road side when the car's thermometer reached 120degree. Before the traffic light the car's dashboard all lit up and engine turned off automatically, steering locked probably because I was turning.

Luckily it was morning the car cool off quite fast, started the car again, air-cond felt cold (a relief sign for me), drove a while back to home. But, few minutes later before heading to office, started the car, air-cond felt warmer, thermometer tunjuk the usual 11 o'clock. The end result? Burn fat walk to office.

the word "but" makes amazing things happen.

His encounter worse than mine
