Workshops Not To Go

[anaksarawak]

Thxs for enlightening me bro,
That leads to further Q's tho..

1) I'll be lucky to do 15k kms a year so should i still do the service at 12 months? If so, would that mean i dont need to use this longlife engine oil?

2) How does this balance thing apply when its a RHD version? Do they reverse it and make the right side lighter?

:106:

I guess they didnt reverse it therefore you still see the rightside of our ride is lower. :smokin:

As for your engine oil service, please change your oil every 5000km with semi syn oil.

Personally My schedule is as follows

Fill 20w-50w Castrol GTX for modern engine and run for 1000km the change to Semi Syn Magnatec and run for 4000km. Engine will have fresh oil more.. In our temp our car run at 50w 90% of the time except in the morning so thicker oil will protect our old engine more. This is my personal preference.

I am testing Bardhal 5-40 Fully Syn now .. so far so good. Got it cheap (below RM90) My interval with Bardhal is every 4000km or 6 months period.

Also I will avoid any workshop who said Castrol GTX 20-50w oil is bad for our 8 years old engine.

I guess i would have thought they would have made some corrections to that fact as there are all large number of RHD units being sold worldwide :listen:

Thxs for your advise on the oil change intervals bro :top:
