It sounds crazy. I am thinking to clean/flushed the engine of my 100K km mileage myvi by changing the EO again after the second day of changing EO.

Do you think this will work or waste of EO?

What?

meaning Monday - Change EO and filter. Tues - Change EO and filter again?

No point. If you're gonna do that - might as well run it for about 100km before the change. Or flush with Royal Purple oil during your oil change.

A waste if u have been changing the oil regularly.

Anyway i have been changing semi syn oil at mileage of only 5k km and fully syn at well below 10k km. Thats a waste too as it can still be used.However Tesco is selling oil at cheap price so i really dont mind.

as heavy as lorry... :rofl:


nope.. works just fine...


not only on 1 car... but multiple car i currently own...non turbo and turbo...normal daily drive and weekend fast drive...

key is always keep oil at good level and oil change interval dont drag longer than recommended...(shorter is better..just dont too short like u did)..that is a big waste

If really want to do it, buy cheap single grade oil SAE30 to flush then refill with your normal FS

What's the point and what do you hope to achieve? Recalibrating the butt dyno? Bear in the mind that the filter which you choose not to replace, contains a fair amount of tainted oil.

okok. thanks for all inputs, looks that regular change intervals / maintenance is the best.

Out of curiosity, did you open the oil filler cap and see a lot of muck, sludge or varnish in the engine?
varnish yes.sludge mild

Hi I need some information.

I am actually looking for a 4g92 MIVEC engine. Can someone please tell me whats the rough estimation of the the cost.
I intend to upgrade my WIRA 1,5m yr 2000 model. Would I require authorization from JPJ and also do I require to change my current breaking system. At current moment my front breaks are Disc breaks and back breaks are drum breaks.

I also need to know..would this effect my car insurance and NCB..?

I hope all u "tai kor" can help me...
