next is replace tayar. sudah ten years wei

Tyre changed once full set. They checked said no issue till next year. Also bought from them previously.

Hmm. I went asking chatgpt. Said should be toyota atf ws. Damn. If it is really dexron, what to do now?

For AC flushing, good to done it like once a year. And many workshop already provided this service at rm99, usually done mine at Petronas AutoExpert branch.

For ATF, I bought Mizu fully synthetic Atf oil and get my workshop to replace it for me. All in about rm100 for atf since bought myself online

If u indeed use Dexron, better change it. Chatgpt also told your car need Ws

go n ask from the horse's mouth exactly what oil brand n type he used. atf or cvt. either cvt fe or atf ws also needs ~180/4L. dun keep getting pulled by the nose from everyone. n dun keep chatgpt for answers

I remember my dads always kene up to rm800-1k for ATF change for his old E Class W211 Gb. Cz workshop proposed for ATF flushing for 9-10L atf oil where per L cost about rm90

Somehow I feel it's better to check manufacturer website n buy their original oil instead of buying from workshop. At least we r certain the authenticity n correct specification. That's why I insist buying my own engine oil and bring to them to help me change. the used oil let them collect and send for recycle.

Lol. Just did. My memory failed me. It was toyota atf ws. I went looking at his shelfs looking for my mental picture. Also confirmed by windshield sticker remark written as atf ws which I didn't bother to read initially.

Also asked him why changed my atf prematurely instead of 80-100k. He gave reasons sitting too long so it's preventive maintainence. He flushed everything and refill new atf. But said no need to change filter. This left me with doubts but time will tell.

My memory failed n confused me. It wasn't bp castrol. It's real toyota atf ws in its white green can. I scanned his shelfs for white green can and this is the only one. So now peace of mind. Sorry for misleading everyone here.

Sitting 4 years? No. It's moving minimally every 2-3weeks last 2 years. Before that it has accumulated 36k km for 8 years with daily short commute.

ya around that price being conti. flush needs 9.2L

means 10yrs still with the stock atf from new car

your car maintenance principle is close to mine.
follow mileage or duration, whichever reaches last.

🤝🤝🤝 Hi buddy. Lol. I went from young n naive preventive maintenence to now after owning few cars. No at once but new replace old one each time.

I realised petrol based products etc last a decade if not longer. They are almost next to resins in some ways and far more stable then resins. In order to deteriorate, they need to be oxidised by heat, water, and some chemical contact. If those factors are minimal in a fully consealed car system, they probably still deteriorate just very slowly. Hence the term wear and tear, based on mileage and rarely time-based. (unlike rubber gasket sort of materials)

Been reading sometimes ago in reddit which also confirmed my hypothesis. A guy who served 40 years in US army wrote the only time the army trucks and aircrafts have a change of any engine or transmission oil is when the oil analysis indicates the need. As such he only changed his cars fully synthetic oil every 40k km. Another guy posted his engine oil clear and brown in clear pvc pipe which only ran 3k km in 5 years.

Manufacturers recommendation is based on bell shape normal usage. So when we are out of normal bell shape, best to research up what's really best before proceeding which may harm the 'old' car more.

Same here, use mizu atf oil fully synthetic and mizu engine oil fully synthetic for my camry acv30 2.0e, most importantly genuine oil from shopee mall official store 😐

BUMP.

Just bought engine oil for my old car thought of want to DIY change the oil. Came across Shopee and the seller said it is Genuine Shell Helix Fully Synthetic (ORIGINAL) as per stated @ RM140 per bottle(4L). Quite similar with Shell store i guess.

After got the product proceed to scan the QR code but it unscannable. Chat with seller reply with instant templates "bla bla bla, our sources are real"

Damn fuckers really time and money wasted. Going to report KDNP and fuck them up and down.

i bought an original shell 5w-40 also unscannable QR but when i key in the code manually in the website, it shows it is genuine.

you should report stupid shell instead lol
