QUOTE(ayamxxx @ Feb 16 2022, 05:53 PM) Why so? Not foreman only, u can Google & see YouTube videos, eg engineering explained youtuber.Takes more energy to move through thicker engine oil ma More resistance, more protection, but worse fc Thats why w40 u feel u need to hit the pedal more No issues to remain thin oil at high mileage as long follow manufacturers recommended viscosity. I guess ur foreman inform u this? To use thicker viscosity at high mileage? https://youtu.be/pPFSR-2lhxY |

But, still i think if going thicker helps in older cars wear, going reverse would be worse, no? Theres also a specific video asking not to reverse to lower viscosity...

QUOTE(The Hunt Begins @ Feb 17 2022, 08:41 PM) I think no oil consumption, service jaga very good, can do with a grade lower. Not campro engine You're also Campro user ka? haha Just my wife's old myvi For ur case, since no oil consumption, go for it My wifes car, last time with w30 engine oil by 10k service, drop almost near the lower limit level on dipstick, after switch to w40 much better Engine also feel quiter |

But with drain it balance half QUOTE(Thrust @ May 19 2024, 09:14 AM) Draining from drain plug is always better. As you are ascertain that all the old oil are drained out. Recently i saw many vidoes with workshop using flushing machines where they use machine to flow in and out eo. Just like engine flush method but with help of pump machine.. This method should be bestSuction needs to move the tube around and will not extract all the oil out. Theres also another where they drain old eo, then use pump to push out residual oil that wont flow out naturally, easily half a liter more old oil came out |

QUOTE(((Xa))0102 @ Feb 28 2025, 10:41 PM) Been exclusively using Toyota Fully Syn 10w40 (golden bottle) for 13 years now. Which I felt it was pretty okay We are not suppose to change the viscosity especially w40 to w30 after so many yrsJust purchased MOTUL 8100 Power 5w30 for a change. Contemplated over the Shell Helix Ultra Gen 3 10w40 for abit before pulling the trigger on MOTUL I forgot, but there will be problems.. Frictions, maybe oil leaks? |
