QUOTE(zellleonhart @ Nov 5 2017, 02:24 PM) Hi all, amateur to car care here and currently drive a Kenari (auto). Been using random brands of engine oil in the past, I just leave to the car workshop sifu to decide. My uncle told me to use Total brand but usually he recommend me to go to his friend's workshop in Muar, Johor while I am in KL. Can use mineral type engine oil.. Charge definately less than rm100 incl labour & oil filter. So I am looking for a good car workshop for routine oil change (every 5000 km or 3 months). I found some Total Auto Lubcare workshops near my house, so I suppose they use original Total oil. Will they charge a premium price? How much should I pay if I am getting normal Total oil + oil filter + labour? Just want to know the average price so I won't kena potong. And if they charge way more, how should I nego? Hmm Other than Total, also can use petronas, shell, caltex.. To play safe.. U can buy at petrol station |

QUOTE(Thrust @ Oct 23 2017, 08:46 PM) l how many months for you to clock that 8500km? I just bought 0-30w honda fully syn as well, but have not use yet. planned to change every 6 months or 10000km, depending on which comes first. am still using honda 5-30w semi syn. was changing every 7.5k or 4 months, whichever first.It is a fully synthetic oil. I just changed it yesterday clocking in at 8500km. After the oil change, can feel the engine runs smoother a bit and gain a bit more power (oil feels lighter). For info, I drive in city area and always stuck in traffic jams. |

I changed oil purely based on mileage and countless times went over 1 year before I change again, sometime even 2 yrs! Have been doing this for many cars with all types of oils since the mid 80s and never have any problems whatsoever, and my engines internal still look as pristine as ever. Makes it easy to track the oil change time coz it'll happen either at the 5th k km or 10th k km mileage.

QUOTE(jusTinMM @ Nov 15 2017, 10:16 AM) Yes should have but not sure how long. Based on my experience, certainly over 1 year. Note though that for my case the car is almost always driven but just shorter distances, hence the mileage is low but the duration is longer. |

can recommend good LSD gearbox oil for dc2 type r? nowadays, during hot, kinda hard to shift to 1, 4 and R. early morning while cold, is ok. when 3->4 need to be careful, there are times when the gear was about 1/2 'in' from 3rd to 4th, releasing the clutch got kraakk sound, meaning that it was not fully engaged.
