just sent for general service. found that the air con radiator was dirty with greasy stuff insude + brownish rusty bottom. rm80 for flushing the radiator and rm80 for changing the top n bottom layer.

... my foreman refused to use castrol mtech 10-40. i think he plans to use 5/10-30.

image shows the dirty radiator inlet
... update later ....

Flushing is useless..that corrosion is so hard to be removed..u should do radiator cleaning..or just buy the new radiator only cost rm80 cheapest ive found brand new..and use coolant plus battery water..

I've changed my radiator and almost my whole aircond system quite a while ago. Till now my air cond at 1/4 of the temperature level it's chilly and like i turned to number 2 instead of 1. Btw, did u ask y ur foreman refuse to do 10/40?

actually he cleaned my radiator. tmr will open up and see how clean it is. coolent was added. i have changed the compressor (larger type) and fan 2 months back. yes, the air cin is cold but not as cold as your, but v comfortable.

my foreman said 10-40 might spoil the piston ring and it also can put some stress on the piston. i quite agree cos i was the weekend part time unpaid motorcycle mechanics last time (as my hobby). i think i understood what he meant. so he used the 5-30 castrol (rm105).

the steering almost immediately feels less vibration and of course the car is more quite too.

radiator taken out and cleaned ....

i forgot. for those who are going to replace the battery, use the larger type '60'. only rm10 extra. its larger and stronger n does not stress the alternator or the electrical charging system. it is strong. look at the serial code at the edge of the foto below

It's cheap..It's price is RM88 that I saw it at one accesories shop in Serdang

too bad la. all on offer are 0/5/10-40 but i was looking for 30 not 40.
ya its cheap

caltex havoline 10w30 3l API SN is rm61 from caltex petrol station at my place..but multigrade oil..not semi..

seems reasonable price. my engine is obviously more quiet and lesser vibration.
anyone changed the lower arms before? any need to change them for better steering control?

how much did u do the grounding?..any effect?

grounding cable rm110. voltage stabiliser rm170. for old cars, we shd install at least the g cable as it helps to stabilise the electricity flow of the car. head lamp now damn bright n oncoming cars always shoots at me at nite!!! air con shd be cooler n more stable.


for old cars, shd get it done. i got mine from eric here as his cables r thick, full copper and prof service. strongly recommended.
