Hi all sifus.
I am currently looking for weather shield inside door panel. Any suggestion on where to get it ? Any suggestion on any online spare parts store? For persona elegance. |

I suspect cloud it be I use the 30 EO that's why the gasket won't last long!Is it really that important? Cos when new car the 1st few years was using 40, and the gasket can last about 3~4 years, which is reasonable for me. Is just I guess only, due to 40 can take higher temperature, I check with workshop, mostly say not related.... |

In reality if ur engine is operating at such high temp that it matters between using 30 or 40 oil, then u need to consider flushing ur radiator and changing a better coolant.

The Coolant part, I still follow SC standard, using Proton and change every 20k. shouldn't be issue. |

QUOTE(ZenGTMM @ Sep 3 2018, 04:05 PM) U can actually get silicon cam seals.. Cheap and good.. Mine so far so good, never leak after 3 years. I’m using Tesco fully synthetic nowadays. Quiet engine and very responsive. 10k km still run smoothly.Recommend for u to use 40 oil at least.. I tried 30 a few times before, especially when my engine was new and realised my shims were making a lot of noise. So far among the tons of oil I have used, Castrol Edge/Magnatec, Mobil 1 Formula M, Mobil 1 Gold, Liqui Moly are the ones highly recommended. |

I see no degradation in my coolant or any engine oil leaking into the radiator area.. Never had overheating issues too. QUOTE(anakMY @ Sep 6 2018, 10:44 PM) I’m using Tesco fully synthetic nowadays.
