QUOTE(flagstaff @ Jul 21 2022, 06:58 PM) what did the mechanic say when he drained only 1L...? did he check anything? curious to see that your check engine light didn't lit up when only 1L of eo left... quite sure that should have happened. btw, how's your exhaust smoke? Exhaust no white smoke if you mean that. Check engine didn't lit. Mechanic says need to remove the top engine for cleaning. Change gasket also. Few K's

Can recommend me fully synthetic 5w-30 fluid for my Proton Saga FLX 1.3 2014? Also, should I change CVT fluid at Proton SC or local workshop is okay?

QUOTE(MadKat @ Jul 21 2022, 02:09 PM) Not leaking as no oil drip. My previous oil change gave me a shock when the dirty oil left approx 1.x litre only out of 4L. Would consider taking the car for top half engine fix. (semi overhaul? lol) I'm driving Teana J32 2013. How is your engine oil change practices? Long intervals? Using genuine reputable engine oil? If overdue engine oil service, always city ride and/or using recycle engine oils, it could probably be stuck piston oil rings.

City + Expressway Drive I don't think is recycle engine oils....how to know?

Buy from reputable sellers or petrol stations or tesco/giant to minimise risk of getting fake or recycle engine oil.

Buy from reputable sellers or petrol stations or tesco/giant to minimise risk of getting fake or recycle engine oil. Semi syntetic. Is actually between 7000 - 8000km per change cycle. Usually around 3 months only per cycle.

I assumed most of these mileage are on the highway. If so then its ok, although for me it is the limit even if using reputable brands. Your practice should be no problem if the oil is genuine. May i know what engine oil and where do you it? Also the price.
