RM 90?? fully syn is it??

[egiewan]

No lah bro....semi syn la hehe. Not worth buying full syn if you change your oils on time.

Don't see a problem to that .. although it depends how much u trash your car at the track lor .... if u go a few rounds, then stop to rest and let the car cool. then go out again for a few rounds .. like me ..
then i Normally have an oil change b4the track days ... preferably use about a week b4 the actual track day just to check that oil level and everything ok (no leaks) .. then continue using the oil after the track day .. maybe reduce the oil change interval from 5k to between 4 to 4.5 k

But it's just my preference. U may opt to go as what u mentioned ..

[stutzedward]

how many liter does our engine need? I just got it changed today, all 4L in leh... using Mobil1 and the correct code is 5W/50

 

[4G633]

4L plus, i guess 4L is not enuf need to add abit to full the engine oil

 

[expenditious]

if not mistaken..we need 4.2 like that...
you need to start the engine for while..

 

[stutzedward]

Can I mix my remaining Shell Ultra into it?

 

[PabloIceman]

Stutzedward : As long as same grade u can top up (Rule of thumb, Ratio of mix should never exceed 20% of your total oil). U need more than 4L. Mine somewhere at 4.5 L. Yes, your mechanic should know that he needs to start and run the car then check dip-stick.

Also, better to invest (very small amount only) for a magnetic drain plug. At least at every oil change, check the magnetic drain plug for metal filings. Shows u the condition of your oil and if it lubricating properly, or some serious problem starting to develop inside your engine.

 

[chocolatesttarfish]

thnx bro for the info..well explained..

 

[egiewan]

Mine also somewhere at 4.5L coz I'm using a bigger oil cooler maybe? But I normally fill in 4L only. The level on the dipstick will be right above the middle mark.
