I found that my engine oil over the last few days has been a bit low. It occurs especially after I have given the car a good push (which I have been doing a lot off lately :wink<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. I decided to take it to my mechanic, Steven, and he found that it had gone down a little bit. After a full check and confirming that there was no leak, he suggested that I just top it up.I then told him that I had remapped the ECU. He was a bit skeptical about it being a conservative mechanic by nature. He told me that couple of his customers had done remapping before and that when diagnosing the ECU, there was always some fault reading coming up. He proceeded to plug in to diagnose my setting and to his surprise found that there were no faults. He did notice however, that the Engine temperature was at around  108 degrees compared to a stock which is around 105. He suggested that I change my engine oil to 10W60 instead of 5W40 which I have been using. The 10W60 is a a much thicker oil which he said is used by the M5 and M3. So he replaced the oil and and took it for a test drive. Upon testing the car, he was amazed by the responsiveness of the car. He was even surprised when I told him the cost of the remapping. His other customers had spent around RM 2,500 for their remapping which did not produce the result that was expected. He actually was stumped. The first time in the 18 years that I have known him, he was actually amazed by an after market product. It also show you what a great job Bernard did for my UDM. :rock: :top:</blockquote>
