That oil filter joint housing oil seal is common to leak. I changed it together with power steering pump seal, replace radiator hose set at same time. Pay one labour do many things & took half a day. But it is worth the time.

I am still using 5/30. But have switched to Toyota GF6A (latest) engine oil. Mechanic says really over kill. But i feel the engine gained some improvements here and there. No engine oil burn issue also. Already 4 oil changes with this Toyota oil so far. But it is getting expensive.

Engine now has vibration issues due to worn engine mounting again. This replace set has since been driven 140000 km. So it is worn already.

Yeah. My 2 Myvi (2007) and my Polo all using Mizu 5W40 full synthetic for years with no issue. Just buy online from their official store, cost around RM80 and lasts 10k km. No need to feel 'syiok sendiri' by using oils costing up to RM200 or more.

My car dugong vios, Was thinking just switch to semi synthetic oil n see if no more leak, then no need to change the seals.

This new toyota engine oil, is not those used by service center?

Power steering pump seal got anything to do with those engine oil leaks?

I think is your engine oil leak previously, not engine oil burn issues.
After u fix the leak, oil doesnt reduce lo.. 😂

I have no idea if this oil is being used by toyota locally or not. It comes in steel can. I daring go try only. Just because it is latest oil even before it was sold in shopee. Saw at spare parts shop and tried it. RM120 since last year. But this year RM 138. I just buy to try. End up that since it is cheaper than Perodua ori fully synthetic, i might as well use this one. Now price went up, then would look at something else that i have used previously like Bardahl.

The oil filter housing leak was more than a year already. Original plan was to fix that issue. After open bumper only found out that the power steering pump is also leaking. Fix that also. Power steering oil also has darken somewhat. Now everything is dry and nice. Bot these parts are cheap like few bucks only. But to open up the bumper and radiator and all that is labour intensive.

The engine oil leak was not super severe. But it does stain the house floor every day. I only need to top up a tiny bit of oil every month. Can drive longer one. But have to clean the damn floor everyday really is tiring....

This year alone, already i spent almost 3k for this old myvi repairs. Haizzz...

Now already 320K km, saw some videos gotta change the timing chain pulak, have u changed urs?
I scared dont change, later engine need to overhaul etc

I also spent about the same since last year. Save a little money by buying the parts myself. Technically the chain will not break. It will be stretched though. Causing the engine not be smooth when accelerating or between gear changes. But nothing serious will happen.

The car is at 276300km currently. Of course if can change, then go ahead. Else can still drive as it is.

I forgot to ask, if change the oil filter housing seal, need to wait when changing to new engine oil? Or it can be done without draining the existing eo?

No need. But if you close to next service date then do 1 short. Else just go change the filter. Just the oil in filter gone. Not much actually, if you worry then add in a bit.

I kena that, as Proton also use the same oil filter supplier. I been doing this few times. No dare not use ori Proton filter. Waste of time & money change filter + labour in between my next service.
