Some of my friends tried and and gave it a thumbs up! |

In the internal combustion engine, the power is in proportion to the amount of air and fuel that enter the cylinder. By introducing more air into the engines, smaller engines can behave like bigger engines, and bigger engines can have more power. This is possible with the use of a turbocharger. It’s about compressing air, thereby increasing its density. Intercoolers are also used as a way to increase air density. The high density air then enters the intake manifold. It moves to the cylinder, where it mixes with fuel to establish a similar air/fuel ratio. This creates greater combustion, more pressure and conclusively, more power.
Turbochargers of the future are being developed now. What we can expect are decisive changes to its form and function. Modern turbos are now made of stainless steel housing and nickel alloy turbines that can withstand the heat of the exhaust stream. This means using less fuel to cool the turbo units, thereby increasing fuel economy. We can also expect engineering adaptations like turbine blade shape, bearings that use less oil and the use of lighter materials. These work in tandem with an efficient direct fuel injection system, and a smarter sensor programming that control cam timing, turbo boost and throttle. These technological advances are designed to meet the demand for efficient turbocharging at low and medium speed, which is the most common powerband for heavy and light vehicles respectively. We recognise every client’s respective needs, and pride ourselves to be on top of industry challenges. Attached image(s) |

I wouldn't mind some cheap API certified oil hahaha.. and share i will, its in my engine now, as for smoothness, i feel it is the same as Eneos or Castrol, but loses out to Mobil, quietness, it is better than all what i had used before. BTW i am using 10w 40. Liking it. |

QUOTE(Dreadsic @ Aug 2 2015, 09:53 AM) :: hello.sorry if wrong topic.some engine oil comes with 4L which is got 1 and half liter same brand/model/grade combinination is definitely ok.left for small car like viva.is it defenitly ok to buy same brand,grad to combine 2 or 3 bottle left oil to use in a future? its about time.let say we keep it 1 or 2 years before use that combining oil? the only problem may be time as you know oil does oxidises and will degrade/have chemical separation formed within the oil and it's synthetic properties/additives. i do not recall viva can withstand 1-2 years of oci, so if it is within a year, that should be fine. anything more than you will need to inspect the oil properties to see if it has any separation/degradation before proceeding to use it. now. from what i can understand, your car uses 2.5 liter. so everytime you service from a 4l bottle, you get 1.5 liter left over. you want to save that one bottle, do 1 more service, and you get 3 liter from 2 left over bottles, then on the 3rd service you use that 2x 1.5 liter bottle without buying another 4 liter bottle, right? to solve this, i would highly recommend you to use back that 1.5 liter bottle, and use 1 liter from the 2nd brand new 4 liter bottle. this not only saves space (compared to storing 2 bottles previously), it does not require special attention/worry on oil degradation due to prolonged storage |
