QUOTE(netmatrix @ Feb 1 2020, 12:36 AM) I drive same year 2008 Myvi 1.3 Ezi. 12 years old car don't change to thin oil. Keep it at 10/30 or 10/40 semi synthetic. By this time all the gaskets and seals would have hardened. Leaks will appear. Cuz this Myvi I bought secondhand in less than 3 months. Don't know what ex-owner use. Only last month i changed the valve cover oil seal/gasket set. Bottom has some leak that seems to come from where gearbox & engine meet. That also needs to be changed. So if you have been using 10/30 or 10/40, just keep using that. Do remember that once you change to fully synthetic, it would clean the carbon build up at the gaskets that actually seal the leaks. And you get leaking engine oil on floor. I kena with my old corolla and also this myvi. Was using semi syn all the while and changed to fully and oil leak. hahah. |

Chill guys
I have another question regarding the oil filter tho. To install/ change the filter will require the special oil plier or can just use hand? I read a few threads engine oil sell in 5 liter and car will take 4 liter only, European car got bigger capacity for 5 liter? I think my Myvi is the same as netmatrix one. 2008 production, auto gear. |

I checked previous service record. Oil run is 86,200 to 93,200. Now is 94,000+ already. I think its better to stick with semi as netmatrix suggested.
Btw, I went to Shell, Petron, Aeon and Tesco today. Aeon got peroduo 4L semi 5W30 cost at RM109. Shell got semi 5W30 on promo at RM120. Tesco got 5W30 fully at RM120. I check shopee price and 5W30 semi is so cheap around RM60-80 range. Why so large difference? |

I went to a spare part shop I know today. The boss there give me Bardahl 10W sth can run 5K, cost RM60. I say dont want, then go with 5W-30 semi 4L from Perodua, slightly expensive at RM80. Stock oil filter RM8 and another oil filter cap wrench at RM12. Still have to look for the square L shape thing for wrench tho. Wonder why they don't sell together with the cap...
Well, overall cost higher than online. At least it's guaranteed genuine. |

Btw, the worker asked if I needed air filter. I thought he meant the one for aircond intake which I just changed recently. Did Google just now and found it's the one at the engine bay. Normally need to change together with oil and filter or...?

Sifus,
I need help. Yesterday I did oil change for my Myvi 2008. Using Pennzoil Blitz 5W-30. I read online this car only needs about 3.5L. The bottle is 4l. I filled until the Pennzoil left little bit but the dipstick level is only above .5mm from the minimum level dot. I inspected the car has no leak. Should I continue to fill? I worry the whole bottle really gonna fill in |

QUOTE(NoobHacker @ Jan 2 2022, 01:07 PM) uhh not expert but i changed my oil on my own before. try adding 100ml more and see if it increases higher than .5mm? Yeah it did. That was a dumb question. I did overfill my Axia before so this time with Myvi I was scared when the bottle left little bit. Now the level is almost full.Even dumber is that, my oil filter is not changed. I did not notice the filter is screwed so tight. Guess what, yesterday is a public holiday. I couldn't buy filter wrench. Today need to use car, no choice lor. I hate the mechanics for using those pneumatic drivers. Everything is bolted super tight. Btw, Pennzoil Blitz 5W-30 is so powerrrrr. A full tank of gas, all tyres filled up, engine oil changed. OMG, farking smooth. Next up I need to change Iridium spark plugs also This post has been edited by C0deXeus: Jan 2 2022, 09:17 PM mudkipryan94 and NoobHacker liked this post
