Hi Guys...

Just wanna know, any recommendation for engine oil for Twin Turbo? brand? Specs? engine has clocked around 120,000 km.
what eo/spec ur using now?

during my 6a12 i changed from semi castrol magnatec 10w40 to shell helix semi 10w40..better butt feel than the magnatec.

as for 4g63t..been using LM FS 10w40 previously..now using FS 10w60 , change viscosity due to oil loss when driving like pelesit. require 3 time topup for 8k mileage..10w60 so far not need to.

any good EO would do i guess. since v6 turbo like r35, why not try Mobile1?:burnout:

Fuh! you use long time dy, Mine 3rd bottle of Pennzoil but 7L bottle, so can use 5 times. Used to read about HDEO from other members. Most using Caltex delo 400. They even buy 18L bucket for cheaper use.....lol:biggrin:

Hi guys. This thread is inactive but I thought I’ll try my luck. Anyone knows what is the ECU code for 6A12TT? The one I have is 0456 but I saw online some sellers selling 0563. The problem is I’m having check engine light after my transplant.

Did you scan your obd to find out what code on your check engine light?

Yes I have to say trying out blindly because foreman seems unwilling to check further. He tried to swap the air flow sensor and water temp sensor but still to no avail. Actually after the transplant both ABS light and Check Engine Light was on.

actually I went to the halfcut shop and tried 0563 but the car was unable to start. Tried another 0456 and it started but with the same two error lights.

I bought the engine from another Perdana that was to be scrapped. My mistake was I didn’t start the engine. Am told the ECU came with the scrapped car.

In that case I think you should find someone who knows your type of engine.
First to scan to see what is wrong to be able to trouble shoot the problem....:smokin:

Yeah thanks bro. Sent the car to another mechanic to check. I also feel the car not that much different from my previous V6 NA. Used back the same 312 manual gearbox. Could it be related to the ECU too?
