QUOTE(Jessieccy @ Nov 15 2024, 06:58 PM) Yup, inspection. The engine block should show signs of wetness or at least some parts become black (oil+dirt). Check the back of the engine, could be hidden) Mostly will either be gasket hardening (valve gasket or timing chain cover) or flywheel oil seal. If nothing... Then need to investigate more So far didn't notice any sign of oil leak.. just the engine oil not at max level after run for more than 5k km.. initially thought it's normal to consume engine oil when reach high mileage.. QUOTE(carnby77 @ Nov 18 2024, 07:58 AM) For me it was nothing. I changed from 5w30 to 1ow40 and its all okay now. Oic.. when u change to 10w40 ya? I mean around what age the car and mileage? |

QUOTE(456789 @ Dec 4 2024, 06:36 AM) how many months you reach 5k? maybe use 5w40? 3 months i can reach 7k.. 5k may be around 2 months? Now i still using 5w-30.. would prefer fully synthetic to avoid the hassle of keep going for service.. maybe will try 5w-40 and see how's the condition next time.. |

QUOTE(456789 @ Dec 8 2024, 06:43 AM) The engine is approaching 200,000 kilometers, the oil scraper ring usually falls off and needs a thorough overhaul If the oil consumption not severe I think i will just drive 1st.. overhaul will cost quite a lot and i m not sure worth or not to do it.. |

Hi, may I know is it necessary to change ATF filter? If needed what's the mileage suitable for a change?
