If he's talking abt the stock bosch, forget it. Brake dust tainted product. If its other bosch, then I no comment.

If you want stock performance, then go for FBK also can. I'm using it for my front. Less than RM90 ~ RM100. Same performance as stock bosch but with very little brake dust. Now my front rim is silver while my rear rim with stock bosch always retained its metal grey color.

Yeah. It's stock Bosch. Didn't notice the dust. Been almost 2 months I didn't wash my car and my rims is dark color :3

Caltex techron is for fuel system, not engine.

Frankly, at 37K mileage and engine at its prime, what makes you want to add "special addictives" as a GOOD engine oil can already do a better job overall?

How sure are you engine oil actually do better job overall? whistling.gif

Oh WS2, I read about these IF tungsten disulphide a couple years ago but back then, no product was ever used using this powder or solid lubricant. So casual users like us have very little or no data on it. Heard it used to be very expensive thus although its an excellent lubricant but cost is not practical then.

Not sure abt the current tech tho.

WS2 is a solid-based or originally powder-based addictive mixed with other oils (probably mineral or high grade minerals) with very high lubrication capabilities with its IF nano particles that can adhere to surface and fill in gaps (excellent), it might bond very well onto the engine parts which is a good thing to protect the parts.

However as with all other solid addictive, my main worry is when over long term, these bonded film might also accumulate sediments from the engine oils over a long period of time especially when constantly used near 10K mileage in our humid and dusty driving environments.

I'm not sure if it might eventually clogs the valve and pipeline of the engines over long period of its usage. Unless the brands also produced engine oil THAT you used along with this addictive (which guaranteed compatibility of addictive used), nobody can be sure that these addictive might cause any adverse chemical reaction with other brands addictive. Maybe the nano thingy helps hold sediments in suspension and not sticking to it.

Will this add. addictive chemical reaction cancelling each other out or make its worse or better, nobody can fully testified to its long term effect due to the variety of different engine oils quality used out there.

GOOD quality engine oils are usually formulated to provide very balanced addictive performance between its anti-wear and lubrication properties. Adding of external addictive might unbalanced these formulas and produce adverse effect.

I have to say, its all only in theory as no one can 100% guarantee it will work or not work with certain engine formulas, thus my adverse reaction to extra addictive not of the same brand as engine oil used. Unsure here does not mean addictive is no good, as a matter of fact, many has testified certain addictive working very well above stock oil properties and I can't rebuke that coz it might as well be true.

However due to my old-school thinking, with so many elements of "uncertain" long term performance and durability (no solid data backup yet) I usually avoid such addictive (although they might be highly effective especially with improved tech nowadays) and keep to proven GOOD engine oil / optimal change period schedule that has PROVEN to usually maintain a vehicle in tip top performance over a long period of time.

It is only my 2 cents and I might have been ENTIRELY WRONG ABOUT IT. A lot of other sifu probably can input in detail MUCH better than me coz I usually only know the overview and can likely KICK my ass again for bullshitting.
My view does not apply to racing kaki tho, these guys know what addictive to use to fine-tune boost their engine (albeit shorter life or not), so to give those extra oomph and performance by seconds.

Final conclusion of WS2 :  I know nuts about it.....hahahahaha sweat.gif  tongue.gif  whistling.gif  Cabut again.... icon_rolleyes.gif

ps..since I type so long since I very free now, bound to have a lot of mistake but I make sure no gear ratio was mention...ya...but other mistake I' don't know....if found, that is old Cavino with jiken comes alive typing, screw him...

kennywee92 Can I pay your car a visit ah? hmm.gif I want to check if my blower air sucking noise is abnormal or normal. I found that the air is sucked into the air-cond plastic housing not only through the large inlet inside the dash, but also through the gap of the plastic housing at the bottom. I may need someone to help me drive the car as well for me to check for any wind noise around the car. brows.gif

Yes, you may visit my car. See if my car will open up the gate and start up himself thumbup.gif

The stock brake pad for our car is Bosch when I thought it's Mintye.
Hated the Bosch pad because it produces much dust.

about the brake pad, still dont know laa..

should i go send my car to tyre shop or accessories shop for change of brake pad ?
my budget around rm250 including labour cost (both rear and front )
my area: rawang near taman bersatu
*
You can go for Bendix General or Metal King (saw review some said it "makan" rotor but got improvement version which do not "makan" anymore, not so sure. You gotta find out yourself)
Rough calculation:
RM120 for Bendix Metal King front
RM100 for Bendix Metal King rear
Labor should be around rm30 to rm50 depending on the workshop.

Hey guys. Am having a SV version myself. Now just hit 10k mileage.

Problem is now most of the time when I brake, I hear loud sharp screeching noise.

Started when 5k service, went to COSE, they 'service' the brakes. Next day sound came back.
Went following week to complain again, then they 'service' again. Next day sound came back again. Fed up.
Now at 10k mileage service I go back, they say its a normal sound on hot days. Nothing can be done. This is load of BS. Why other cars brake does not have sound, only persona. And the SA can tell me its a normal sound during hot days.

Anyone know how else to solve this problem? Or anyone also having similar probs with me?
*
Screeching noise during braking is usually brake pad worn out. Looking at your mileage, so fast the brake pad worn out? hmm.gif
However, do check if the brake pad is worn out.
Other possibilities have to wait for other sifus.

disc rotor surface warped/uneven also can cause the high screeching noise

Warped and uneven will cause sound ke? I kena mine, no sound at all. Only braking to stop, the steering vibrates.
Btw, my brakes got no screeching sound since new *touch wood*

Ahhh. New thing to me. Mine worn out and make my rotor uneven as well. Decided to change it straight. Didn't wanna skim it. I use until the brake pad got 0% pad and still drive more than 1000KM sweat.gif
