Is not confuse, I don't discriminate... Whatever race also drink the same water, breathe the same air. Got what so atas ?

Lol
Are you lining up to buy American motors then?
Japanese while not perfect are more reliable.
And either ts can persist by feeding his engine more oil or get it rebuilt.

MOPAR or NO car



Depends on how a person view it, reliability is a term used by people who can't afford to maintain their car.

depend lol, few of the bengkel mechanic that i talk said that repair might do more harm than good, the machanic also said that if the engine is still running well(not overheatingl, but the problem is minor leak, better to just live with the leak, but need to frequent check the oil level of course

also repair doesnt mean 100% will fix the leak problem too. people keep mention must follow manufacturer recommendation for engine oil, this only feasible if the engine dont have any issue. but once got issue, is different case already. anyway the main cause of preventable engine failure is either the owner fails to do service on time or engine oil level is too low, not because of mismatch in engine oil viscocity. yes engine dont work optimally with high viscocity oil, but at least some protection is better than no protection.

Its a 10 year old car,. Back then 0w-20 is not available to mass market

xw-30 oil already very thin already, why want to risk with oil that flows like water?

Easy to say when you’re not paying American labour rates to fix your car. Lol

A question opens the mind. A statement closes the mind.

Ts engine that time no w20 spec. Most probably w30, the lightest at that time.

statements all around, no questions. all minds as they are.

I using 5w40 for my 11 year old car.

Not really no. Some racing applications use oil like 0-20 too.

Every engine is the same when it ages. Piston ring gets worn out, valve seals cracks, injector o-rings harden, valve cover gasket cracks and leaks. These are all cheap fix rather than swapping a halfcut engine.

Overhaul costs the same as getting halfcut, but you're assured of the fix you're getting. While halfcut is still another gamble. You wouldn't know if you're getting a good engine unless the workshop is reliable.

I gotten my halfcut engine that's literally <50k mileage. Produces more hrsprs than factory claimed.

So ts end up use what?

Kaito 5w40

Ayam using 0w-35 fully synthetic for my 10 years old saga flx...
So far ok...
