DC5 problem's and solution pleaseee

[slick]

Guys, while we are talking about tim's carbon filled pipes, I have a question regarding my car's exhaust pipes.

I have been noticing that the insides of my tailpipes are always black and has a layer of carbon.
Even after washing it off, after a few days of driving, it turns black again.

Is this normal?
Or does this mean that my engine is not very healthy, piston rings needs a change, engine needs de-carbonising, etc?

it's one way of telling you're running rich on fuel ... kira powersss la ... wakakkakka

weii been reading the earlier post .... funny la you guys!

slick:

i don't think it's a sign of running rich la
carbon deposits are the by products of fuel combustion.

therefore, logically I believe that it would be weird if an exhaust doesn't have carbon deposits in it.

Yah I would think it's normal for the exhaust tip to be black due to the byproduct of combustion.

Just that I saw some pictures and I noticed their exhaust tips damn clean and shiny, even inside.
Maybe they rajin wash inside the tip also la.

yap..i think your motor oil is too thin bro....!

 

[Vagabond]

Thin engine oils are quite safe to use, unless there's a leak somewhere in the engine.

Thanks for the info bro.

For me I prefer thinner engine oil because from the research I have done in the internet, I found that what provides protection and lubrication for the engine is engine oil flow, not how thick the oil is. And to have better oil flow, thinner oil provides better flow.
On the contrary, thicker engine oil = less oil flow = less protection.
Thin engine oil also provides more instant protection during cold engine startup.
As we know, the most damage happens to the engine is during the startup, when oil is still thick and not circulated yet. And if you are using an oil cooler, your engine will run a bit cooler too with thin engine oil because there will be more oil flow thru the oil cooler.

As far as protection when running hot, usually when you go tracking and engine is running hot, the reason for less protection is because normal engine oil breaks down in high temperatures. That's the reason why I use polyol ester based engine oils. Polyol ester base stocks is used in jet engine applications, and can withstand and doesn't break down in very very high temperatures.

Just my 2 cents and opinion, I may be totally wrong.

Cheers.

My experience BRAND is very important.. even same 5-40w oils but different brands oso you will find it different.. Go for a trusted brand and the grade you prefer...

[benzer]

Tim,

[boulala]

Eneos 0W-50 !!!!!!

but the price ah ......

no wonder Honda F1 didnt win. hehehe.

 

[NFS]

ahahha good one!

 

[Vagabond]

Honda didn't win F1 because they complain that Eneos too expensive, so they try to reduce number of oil change


Benzer:
bro, it's ranging from around RM220 to RM240 (retail price)
i think suppliers are getting at RM190 to RM200 per 4 liter
expensive huh?
but still cheaper than motul top range 4 liters !!!!
