QUOTE(s@ni @ Jan 6 2017, 11:08 AM) 0w-20 (but need to monitor level) or 5w-30 (using this 1 now..) On 0W20, what's the oil loss(not necessarily top up) quantity in L and OCI in km if you'd encounter one? Engine sound louder? This post has been edited by zeng: Jan 6 2017, 11:53 AM |

QUOTE(leechunghan @ Apr 6 2021, 10:26 AM) But my car max also 310-320KM only for city drive, if at highway drive from KL house to Penang house ngam ngam 360KM+++ like that then need to hit oil dy, at the meter show average is 9.0KM/L Are you sticking to the recommended minimum tyre pressure of around 200-220 kpa ? |

QUOTE(leechunghan @ Apr 6 2021, 11:39 AM) Ya, I dunno car geh things so just follow it, what the recommended tyre pressure for small swift? How many KM/Per Tank you can run? My overseas relative has a 1.2L but not me. Your recommended tyre pressure should be displayed at the driver door pillar on your Right, almost all car users think that pressure must be followed like a religious scriptures ngam ngam, not more not less ............ which is not true. Many do not know that the pressure reading number displayed is meant to be minimum and not ngam ngam or maximum. Not sure what is your tyre spec/brand, if it were me I would pump to it 250 -270 kpa for better fuel economy (say, > 11 km/L) and agility/power/pickup/acceleration.......... all complying with tyre manufacturer specs. Note: My relative's 1.2L Suzuki has a very high recommended tyre pressure , surprisingly for a Japanese OEM.Not sure about suzuki here though.

QUOTE(leechunghan @ Apr 6 2021, 12:37 PM) I clean the carbon using STP dy, before clean is 250-270KM/Per Tank, after clean two time using two bottle now can run till 320KM like that, but spark plugs i dunno got problems or not, I think should be very long no change? Now using 15W-40, next service I will change to 5W-40 try... A 15W40 is good for components protection but it is likely contributing to your 'poor' fuel economy.Car Leg is 車腳 Absorber, hahahahaha Besides increasing tyre pressure to 250 or thereabout, a 0W or 5W30 would 'theoretically' improve the fuel economy. Try searching one (such as Helix7 5W30, SHU 5W40) with some Molybdenum or Boron within the additive for fuel economy. This post has been edited by zeng: Apr 6 2021, 01:11 PM |

Front: 280 kpa (41 psi) Rear : 250 kpa (36 psi) Yes, there is no such thing as ngam ngam tyre pressure!

QUOTE(BravoZeroTwo @ Apr 7 2021, 09:29 AM) That's very high if use in our local climate condition. Very high ?Yes, it is with regards to norms..... for it is also influenced by selection criteria like handling, fuel economy (which seems to be Lee's concern as I understand it), nvh,grip etc. Btw, the 3 tyre specs in the Suzuki manual has an allowable MAXIMUM pressure of 350 kpa(51 psi).... numbers don't lie.

QUOTE(Chisinlouz @ Apr 7 2021, 03:03 PM) Apply when owner is using the same set of stock tyres and size. Normally dont follow after an inch of up or downgrade since it deviate from original optimal pressure. Both sentences are not valid in this context. QUOTE Mine is 195 55 r15 Not knowing your exact tyre brand/specs, the owner manual extracts above applies in general. |
