e36 parts & maintenance

[Crymson]

Crymson,

I did it in Chu Seng Auto repairs Pg. Most of the Pg guys go to him. In fact he is considered expensive here. Not much choice in Pg. He is quite reliable. My only complain was when he failed to detect the cracked cylinder head issue b4 I purchased the car when I sent it to him for inspection. Other than that I think he has done a pretty decent job for me.

Thanks. Just that I see you got RM420 for your tie-rods. I was quoted RM455 at my regular mech in Subang. Haven't check with other place yet.

2nd bill for 2008.

Was driving in the morning to my first appointment of the day, stop at a nearby mamak in Shamelin for breakfast, when OBC flash "check coolant level" and I notice green water emerging underneath my car. Called up mech and told me to wait 30 mins, refill with water and drive to his place as soon as possible. After I finished breakfast and appointment, refilled and drive to Subang safely. Turns out my water pump was the cause.

17.Engine Oil(United) RM102.00

I think the price about right. Btw, What is United engine oil and what it's viscosity, 10w40, 5w40?

The viscosity is 20w50.United oil is a brand of oil from USA.

---
where is this w/shop meh? price quite good....

I'm quiet naif with this engine oil. What is different between 10w40 and 5w40? which one is good?
