[QUOTE="t2ribena, post: 326463, member: 3847"] IMHO...for force induction engine, the oil has to be changed frequently regardless of the oil brand or grade...on my bro satria GTI with turbo he changed it every 3000km as it starts overheating from then on... if think it is mainly due to the stock cooling system that is design to work with the original setup and with the force induction which of course on one hand gives tonnes of power but generates also tonnes of heat...this puts the cooling system working harder or on the limit. so when the engine oil after some time changes its heat transport properties which was suppose to help transport heat away from the source this would put further load on the water cooling system... so for short term solution is to change the oil at shorter interval or upgrade the cooling system for long term solution...[IMG]http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
