[QUOTE="NKTOB, post: 173753, member: 2762"] ======================================================== Was talking to the owner of Top Power, he suggested that Engine Oil will not last the 25K distance that AB claims also for 4 cyclinder 318, the engine will makan engine oil. Suggested change at 15k max. Show me the carbon build up at the oil cap. Also says that the L6 engine is the best, no problem. Also recommended Castrol or Esso. Also suggest that the auto transmission oil to be change at every 100k. Cost at 68 per liter, needs between 12 to 18 liters. Comments and suggestion please.[/quote] Yup, ur mech put it correctly. It'll be nuts to run any engine oil for 25K! Try to keep it arnd 10k. ATF shd be arnd 80K-100K per cycle. Try to change them instead of flushing..12 to 18 litres are for flushing. Our tranny only requires up to approx 6 to 8 litres for any change of ATF. I'm currently on Castrol Edge 10W 40, not bad at all and running on Petronas Primax3 cheers [/QUOTE]
