Most likely you changed your oil always a little too late and have clogged up the piston ring's oil flow channel. Thus, your piston rings are fried. Most likely a top overhaul to replace new piston rings and seals are needed. Toyota engines are prone to this issue. Change your oil early and don't stick to the 10k km for FS. dogbert_chew liked this post

QUOTE(gedebe @ Aug 16 2022, 12:29 PM) yes indeed, i always service my car late some even near to 20k, is a top overhaul involve a lot of works and costly? Those days, a top overhaul might cost around rm1.5k.  Now it may cost more due to inflation. Top overhaul is fairly easy as you only need to remove the engine head and replace worn parts at the top engine area. |

QUOTE(gedebe @ Aug 16 2022, 02:19 PM) rm1.5k is already very expensive to me, does it includes part? Suggest you to get direct quotation from a few workshops to better guage the overall price + parts.This is the consequences of not taking car of the car. The repair amount needed will be huge. |

QUOTE(gedebe @ Aug 16 2022, 02:30 PM) i din know missing servicing can caused so much damage, even a Proton if you delay servicing won't! You should read TS's practice. He can prolong the service beyond 10,000km and up to 20,000km.You might escape it doing it once or twice, but if you constantly does that, engine problem will come later. That is, for cars beyond 8 years old. |

QUOTE(SleeplessEyes @ Aug 24 2022, 01:22 PM) I'm one of them, but instead of prolong mileage, prolong interval The practice is risky though one might get away with it through usage of high quality fully synthetic oil.. Guilty. My last oil change was dated 20 August 2020 and I just did an oil change on 17 August 2022. Exactly 2 years with oil change interval mileage of 9800KM. This is on my 8 year old Exora Turbo. Car is only used either long distance drive or sometimes short distance. And me also do not recommend following my steps either. Luckily turbocharger is still fine, still able to sprint hard on the highway. No engine oil consumption throughout the interval. SleeplessEyes liked this post

QUOTE(SleeplessEyes @ Aug 26 2022, 04:04 PM) Found this video whereby a BMW m3 has been sitting for 4 years and 7 years without oil change? As long as the engine isn't running on that old oil, it should still be fine but I doubt the internals of that engine is still clean.Its a FB reel video thoigh. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1032720754094...a2HwwtJopec72Vb I hope the BMW engine is fine. Tried to find the full video on his YT channel - ShoLifeTv can't find the full video. I won't recommend putting that long. Better do an engine oil change + flush to clear out all the gunk first. |
