QUOTE(chemistry @ Mar 23 2017, 03:29 PM) Buy those 15W40 engine oils in 5L/6L/7L packing. Top up when necessary. will it hurt the engine by using slghtly thinner oil such as 15w40?For example, Rimula R4X (5L), BHP Trans Super (7L), Mobil Delvac MX (5L) etc. |

QUOTE(eddievh @ Mar 24 2017, 10:04 AM) What's your car mileage and what car are you driving ? If your car mileage is not too high top overhaul will solve oil consumption problem but if it's too high mileage sometimes need to do full overhaul. 205k km |

QUOTE(netmatrix @ Mar 24 2017, 09:33 PM) Engine wear already happen. No point u use more expensive or better oil. It is waste of money. You will keep burning those 10-15/40 oils no matter how expensive it is. Its either u keep using the current 20/50 and live with it being under powered or go for overhaul. White smoke usually means piston rings are done already. No colour smoke noticed... |
