nope. dun add any addititives... ain't the need to do so.

Some full syn can last u abt 10k-12k km without the need of additive. If possible, dun use additive, it harms our engine with some of the substances in the formula.

cheers.

yup... its true, dont need to add those stuff.
unless u want to try them out la.. hehe

personally i have tried X1R (before flame me, i got it free), the engine is smoother and less noisy when u rev it high, more free revving too, but i dont think i will add anymore in it.

another thing if u want to add additives, always know what is in them, make sure they are not silicon based of molydynum based, they will clogg up ur oil filter. so do some research first.

like shackks said,
fully syn can last abt 10K without any problems,

but i have not tried because, my engine oil goes down a quarter or someties to half (from the dipstick markings) every 5000km. cheked using the compression test and there was no leakage in the combustion chamber so must be from the breather and pcv valve. anybody got this problem. i am using 0W40, and some mechs tell me to change to thicker engine oil such as 10W50 so that the oil will be more stable at high temperatures ( i am high revving driver )

anyone got an idea on this???

ur's auto or manual?? maybe the mech is rite... 10w50 will be better for ur engine.

mine is manual... but the boiling point of engine oil is not classified by the viscosity rite? thats why i am asking. i did ask the mechanic if the boiling point is higher... he scrach head...

my car service every 5k... using those shell semi-syn lub only.. hehehehe dun care ah every 5k must go service wan.... coz can check other stuff like the most important is ur brake mer..... btw where u going to made ur customade extrator??

yes... the higher the viscosity the better it is.. hmmm.. those turbo cars r using those high viscosity engine oil but seriously i don think ours need those even how hard u rev the engine cz ours ain't any turbos.. he! he! unless our engine got CPS (vvti+vtec)

my fren intro'ed me to jian hang in batu caves.. one of the best few shops in town (he said).. so i will give it a try for it since mine is 1.3 and there is no extractors out there meant for a 1.3..

so everyone here service their car 5k ritE? and do u change the oil filter as well for every 5k service o 10k service?

oil filter not that expensive..... advice to change it when service together.. hehehhehe

yes... the viscosity actually translate the fluidity the lube in certain temperature.

read this site for more info.


till now, my car has been serviced for every 5k km... As for ur oil filter, itz more recommended to change it every 5k as u do not know how is the filteration of the filter. Better be safe than sorry mar.

cheers

mine about 2 months for traveling 5000 KM, how r u guys here?

OK!! so majority here goes for service @ 5k.. done!

btw, do u guys goin for a particular engine oil o those cheapest among the cheapesT? wat is the budget for the engine oil?

erm...... i get the shell helix semi...

I found that prices are more or less the same. I just go with whatever tickles my fancy because after the first few hundred km everything feels exactly alike.

i'm still looking for a good oil... Do remember "Cheap Things No Good, Good Things No Cheap"


Collected my car on 27th July and has since travelled abt 56xx km, serviced twice and engine has been up and running for abt 100 hours.

I love my Baby Gen2...

get ya!.. ha! ha! don forget 2 reset the reading after u cure ur heavy footed disease...

dude... dun worry... i dun think fc will be diff alot... heheheh like me now anywhere also tekan... ppl block me... also give them wheelspin.. hahahahhaahaha

btw.. my reading now is 10 - 10.2 like that..... for a few weeks edi...
