I'm using fully syn oil.. oil change and oil filter change every 7K.

regular good grade oil change as any other normal maintainence. gear box oil every 10K kms.. check your hoses (water and i/c pipings) for wear and tear regulary. Air filter and lastly spark plugs. :D

i change my oil every 3K or after a month whichever comes
first and use only fully syn..... make sure ure spark plugs have
a heat rating of 7 or 8 and change them every 6 months....
gbox oil every 10K ........ so far no problems.... touch wood... :)

me every 5000km oil change , using mineral oil 20/50w . sparkplugs can last a very long time so don't bother changing it if theres no reason for a change .

if maintain turbo or no turbo same oso lor..if the engine oil botol says 5k then 5k lar if 7k then 7k lor...is no more diff from an NA engine...the problem is when u have leakage or turbo drinks ur engine oil now thats is what u have to repair first...

i usually hear ppl say.."engine turbo have to change earlier bcoz oil heats up la,engine oil finish bcoz of turbo engine,have to use fully syn lar,minyak mau mahal laa and all that....note that mitsu manual don't state the price of ur engine oil....only the specs such as viscosity n working temp....

turbo engine no more diff wif NA if no leaking or turbo problem...all those maintainance mahal all that is all tipu semata-mata...or cari makan lebih....

i change oil every 7k ..oil filter every 14k ..... don ask me why i change the oil filter every 14k ...cos the manual say it can last up to 20k .... :lol:

 

[L9Turbo]

Yes.. agree... oil type andgrade is depends on ur budget.
